Frankly, only an American can be this obsessed with CIA.

The first paragraph seemed very subjective. The last sentence sold me.

However, I dug a little bit into Kremlin propaganda about CIA propaganda, and whooo boy! It starts to get interesting really quick: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP90-00965R000402720002-8.pdf

(That link could be CIA propaganda about Kremlin propaganda that's about CIA propaganda..... How deep does this go? Every time "propaganda" is discovered, they just add another layer, it seems.)

I have been using 6ghz for about a year or so now and I found it to be quite fast. MLO can be super weird sometimes and seems to get confused, but it works. (It's probably just a driver I haven't updated.)

I think your phone is trying to tell you all the things at the same time. It's like when you ignore the check engine light for long enough, your car just turns all the indicator lights on simultaneously.

Maybe change the oil in your phone every once in a while?

They claim big advances on a lot of things.

They are being honest about preying on vulnerable people via religion, it seems.

Vertical Limit + Cliffhanger (There are versions of those movie posters with helicopters. You must have helicopter.)

Is the "big D" actually an American? I haven't really tried to look up any history on the dude.

I thought that was only really an issue if the fiber was damaged in any way. (It would create a point where the external light could refract into the core) Then again, there isn't going to be a sheath on that cable and its not exactly a sterile environment.

Meh, I'm an idiot and that's OK!

You would have to cut the fiber or hope the pulsed laser melts it.

90% of the physics aside, this theory is like saying that crossing flashlight beams would cause interference. This is also ignoring the density difference between the fiber and the air.

All things considered, I think we are looking at the new Russian wunderwaffe. Coming to a T-14 near you.

(just commenting on your edits)

Well, OP did say the outlet is labeled for 50A, but that doesn't really narrow anything down reliably. You could still wire two single pole 30A breakers for 220. Granted, that is really stupid but not beyond what someone would do in a pinch.

Given that there isn't any visible labeling, I would err on the side of caution and test and label everything like you said.

It could be a thing for any rural house in countries that have the land for it.

Lack of space is the primary reason for putting it on a roof. It will get direct sunlight and there will random temperature differences so efficiency will never really be perfect. The condenser coils are also covered and it's not open like a ground unit would be.

They could put it in the shade, and that would be nice. I am curious where they should put it in this case...

The Internet would be great if it wasn't for all the other computers attached to it.

Lulz @ Texas.

I think it's an HR joke, actually. HR can see a wide range of people in various states, hence, the psychologist bit. HR can sometimes be a bit more than hiring and firing, to my understanding.

It's all about delivery of the message and "reading the room".

In my own neurodivergent experiences, those two "tricks" I mentioned above are damn near impossible.

In all cases that I have had issues with helping someone, I usually failed at asking myself the following:

1. Did the person ask for assistance, or, did I ask if they needed assistance?
2. Did I pre-judge that person's intelligence level (or lack of intelligence..)?
3. Was the person already frustrated and I failed to notice?
4. Could I potentially make the overall situation worse if I interject?
5. Am I actually walking down the street of a large city where interacting with random strangers might not be healthy? (/s)

Over my years of failing at interaction, I have built mental flow chart of how to interact with others. It doesn't always work and that is OK!

TBH, I kind of loosely define this is an internalized derivative of "masking", but not unhealthy. I have my own little checklists that I can think about and tweak. Failure is always an option and an opportunity to learn how to interact with others better next time.

Effort vs Reward vs Ability vs Inital investment

In most cases, think of this kind of thing like a legitimate business. Same concepts. I'll grade a few scenarios based on what I have seen over the last 20 or so years. (The ratings are arbitrary and just trying to explain my point.)

Do you have the means to rent a botnet and phish a few million people for lots of credit card numbers? Can you manage that kind of data, test all those numbers and maybe end up just selling that data? Low Risk/Moderate Reward ("Selling shovels" analogy is probably a better scheme than actually renting the botnet, IMHO)

Could you setup a "call center" in India and run a scam ring like an 8-5 business? Are there enough people you can hire to do this work? That requires training, infrastructure and time. You also may need to "work with" law enforcement to ensure your scam isn't busted by legitimate cops. Moderate Risk/Moderate Reward.

Are you part of a small group with an insane amount of skill that has the time to pull off an extortion scheme against a Fortune 500 company for a few million bucks? High risk/High reward

Those are all normal scenarios above and it's based on profitability and initial investment. Risk/Reward is always a balance.

(Sorry. I pulled a "wHellll aKshUallY" when you said it's not worth the time for the small targets.)

There seems to hundreds of studies on that and there seems to be a fairly uniform "Yes" and "More than you would guess", etc.

Here is one: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/ADR-220062

Google just started doing that years ago, even before the majority of people knew what AI was.

I could easily be wrong, but I believe it was even on photos that somehow weren't in the cloud yet. (That doesn't sound right to me, but I have a memory point about it, so here it is.)

As AI became more mainstream, even before the current bubble, they started to restrict it to make it seem less scary. (They stopped doing complete galleries of pictures grouped by items and just made everything searchable, which seems benign. In reality, it's much worse.)

It's all about presentation, my friend. If we are going to make our millions off of this product before it starts to roll off of people's TikTok feeds, we need to move quick.

If we repackage PVA into a sales point for preschool nostalgia, we got it made.
