Stranger things char?

I'm migrating millons of encrypted credit cards from one platform to another (it's all in the same company, but different teams, different infra, etc).

I'm the one responsible for decrypting each card, preparing the data in a CSV, and encrypting that CSV for transit. Other guy is responsible for decrypting it, and loading it into the importer tool. The guy's technical lead wanted me to generate the pair of keys and send him the private key, since that way I didn't have to wait for the guy and "besides, it's all in the same company, we're like a family here".

Of course I didn't generate the key pair and told them that I didn't want to ever have access to the private key, but wow. That made me lose a lot of respect for that tech lead.

I recently started the anime (just finished the Kuro arc) and I'm wondering if the animation gets "better" in later seasons?

Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but some scenes feel very dated and low budget, having lots of still images.

I was working in my (poor third world) government job, and our keyboard broke. Replacements took months, since they only bought mouse and keyboards in bulk once per year or so, and they ran out of.

I had a second job working as a contractor for a private company, where we were contracted for a public hospital providing system administration and technical support. We had some old PS2 keyboards that were to be decommissioned, but since they didn't have inventory number, I got hold of them and brought some to my other job.

So I donated some equipment from one area of government to another, but it was kinda illegal, lol 😆.

The color looks really cool.

Sennheiser headphones that I bought for about $20 about 10 years ago. The cable is indestructible. I once had to resolder it to the speakers because it my cat pulled it out, but the cable itself has endured all kinds of abuse without breaking. And the sound is fantastic.

She was the vice president and took over when Perón died. And yes, by that time they were pretty anti leftist.

I think you can also synthesize it from ipomoea seeds, which have LSA, so it's a much shorter path

I don't have a story, but I have a setting that's been really underutilized.

We, as a species, were nomadic for hundreds of thousands of years. We had tens of thousands of years of cohabitation with other hominids, intermingling, making important and powerful discoveries, exploring, etc.

And there's no one using that for a story?

The only stories about that time that I see are about dumb cavemen or ice age migration.

These people had the same mental capacity that we have now. They had culture, rituals, trade, interesting things.

So yeah, a story set in the prehistoric times.

Tomb of the Necrodancer is a rythm rogue like which is very unique, imo.

These kind of forums don't store the plaintext password, they send an email while in memory, and hash them afterwards. Still bad security, but it's not storing it in plaintext.
