  • To embed an image, use the same format as a markdown link but put an exclamation point in front of it. The text in the square brackets serves as the alt text.

  • The Secret Service traced swatting threats against officials. They found 300 servers capable of crippling New York’s cell system

  • While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.

  • They have images in the link. They sure don’t look like actual phones. I hope more information comes out about what was being used and where they were sourced. Were they devices that have a legitimate use as well or something more custom for nefarious purposes? They don’t look like they take a lot of room, so this might not be the last time we hear of something using this or similar equipment. Doesn’t seem like it would be hard to put these all over the world.

  • Does free university also mean free housing and meals? If not then you might still want to set some aside for university or invest some in some account that lets you easily access the money if you need it in the coming years. Beyond that the rest of the advice in here applies: take some amount for something fun or useful, pay off/down any debt you might have, and invest the rest. You’re young so I assume you don’t have much debt. Investing with a long-term mindset can work fantastically for you at this age. Obviously there’s a lot of short-term uncertainty in the world today, but if it’s money you don’t need now, the long-term risk/reward or cost/benefit leans heavily towards investing what you can now.

  • Maybe, but one would think organic would show a difference then since the rules are much stricter for organic products and they seem to require some external verification to get the label. Since this is all anecdotal it’s probably worth asking if the person experiences a difference between organic and conventional wheat from North America.

  • Ah, that’s too bad. I can absolutely sympathize with all you’re going through, including not getting much help from doctors. As much progress as we’ve had medically over the past century+ it seems like medicine is still just scratching the surface of what can be wrong, so as we get into more unusual things there’s a lot they just don’t know and can’t answer. I’ve had stomach issues for over 15 years and the diagnosis I’ve had is “Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)” or more recently “IBS-D” to indicate diarrhea-predominant as opposed to constipation-predominant. It’s not life-threatening but can be very disruptive. Sometimes the name bugs me, though, because it just seems to be a catch-all for when they’ve ruled out all the serious things they can test for like Crohn’s disease, cancer, or celiac’s. I have friends with the same diagnosis but very different symptoms and triggers, and I’d say it’s pretty clear we don’t actually have the same condition.

    I’ve tried all sorts of diets and medicines, things that worked at first but stopped, and at least now have some sort of equilibrium. The pills don’t cure whatever the underlying cause is but at least it keeps things more controlled. Maybe that’s the best I can hope for right now. Avoiding certain foods, taking my pills, and hoping nothing external happens to upset the balance. It sounds like you’re finding your equilibrium at least, so I hope that keeps working for you!

  • Do you live in North America? Have you tried eating products with European wheat? I haven’t done much research into if there’s any serious research on this, but I’ve seen some anecdotal instances (including a close family member) where people seem to have problems eating wheat and do better with a gluten-free (wheat-free) diet, don’t have celiac’s disease, but have been fine eating otherwise similar foods when made with European wheat. It seems different varieties are typically grown on each continent, so I’m guessing there’s some sort of subtle impact. Again, I haven’t looked into this yet so it’s basically just anecdotal as far as I’m concerned.

  • I had one years ago (no screen) and won’t again just because of how expensive the repairs were when it broke. The water filter mount (a nice feature when the town switches chlorine every spring) started leaking every time a filter was inserted and replacing it was hundreds of dollars since the warranty had expired. The handle broke off the microwave too over time. They just seemed like crappy quality.

  • I remember when one of the Guitar Hero games was first released for Xbox, they soon had a big problem where lots of guitar peripherals were behaving strangely. I think in the end the whammy bar wasn’t always going to what the sensor read as 100 or 0 or something like that because of weak springs or poor physical fit with the plastic, and in the end the fix was basically to adjust how the values were read in software.
