Trust me, we have tried. The problem is that while there was never a PayPal account verified to that email address, somehow a foreign number is attached to it. Every time we have tried to start an account with that email, the verification ping goes to that number, even though the email is unverified. We haven’t found a way to tell PayPal to disassociate that number, because we never had any account attached to it to begin with.

What is someone squatted on your email, starting an unverified account attached to your email address with their phone number, but the fuckers at PayPal won’t do a thing about it?

Not really, all it requires is someone to produce a signed message with one of Satoshi’s private keys, which can be easily verified with the public addresses on the blockchain. Whoever produced that message can be proven to possess that private key. Nothing short of that would be believable by the crypto nerds.

If we presume that Satoshi understood that Bitcoin may be valuable one day and kept the keys private, that would mean that the signer really is Satoshi, or one of his associates or heirs Satoshi trusted wih access. Even if that person wasn’t actually Satoshi, their word on who it is would be considered authoritative.

Unless it’s Craig. Fuck that guy. Nobody believes him.

Maybe so, but RFK Jr’s uncle had Marilyn Monroe on his “ledger”, among others, so the infidelity is in the genes.

What counties are they? Most EC trackers list six swing states (7 if counting NC) so it can’t be more than 2-4 per state…

How to watch the debate? With a stiff drink or three…

If this is the picture I am thinking of, he is really sliding into home and the throw is coming in late so the catcher is off the plate, out of the frame.

He really didn’t need to slide, but of course he would, because he is Pete Rose.

Yes, and he got a lifetime ban for that, which is now over. There are other assholes in the Hall. They should let him in. It would thrill all those Cincinnati fans to be able to see that.

Weren’t we promised a taco truck on every corner?

Shit, the over/under was 85 and I took the over.

Pete deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Particularly now that every other commercial is a betting ad. I think the real reason they kept him out was that they didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of an award speech. Now that is no longer a concern, and they should definitely put him in posthumously.

How about a nice game of Chess?

“I didn’t know it was him,” Roberson told police. “I’m sorry about that.”

She was probably thinking “How can I tell them apart? They all look the same to me” but at least had the sense not to say it out loud.

Yeah, the cops are assholes, but what about the neighbor who was so petrified of a black man watering a garden that he she called the cops? Especially since said black man lived across the street? It seems absurd to me that this neighbor, who is so vigilant about protecting and watching his her neighborhood, didn’t recognize the guy from across the street.

These stories always start with a nosy, racist neighbor, who never faces any consequences for starting it all.

I’m surprised he ever passed a bar in the first place, he seems the type who would always go in and have a few

Just don’t hook it up to your wifi. Don’t use any of its included apps. If you must stream get a separate device to do it.

Is our plan to pollute everything with AI first, so the Chinese bots are trained by our bots?

If you run BGP, yes. Instead, you can always just build up huge-ass fixed routing tables that are impossible to maintain once you get more than a handful of networks…

I can understand why the people who performed the attack consider it to be “extremely targeted”. All accounts that I have read say that these pagers were used directly by Hezbollah as an alternative to cell phones, which they believe the IDF have the ability to track. I haven’t seen any reputable source claiming that these pagers were in use by the general population. So they consider these attacks targeted at Hezbollah, because only Hezbollah members should have had them.

They were not intending to target children or other civilians, but of course when something goes off at a random time like this there is no guarantee that only the targets are in possession of these devices.

However, I think the attack will end up actually harming Israeli security, for two reasons:

First of all, they put too much explosive stuff in it. If it were a smaller explosion (or even just a short circuit leading to device failure), fewer people would have been hurt, and they would have more claim to say they were targeting communications infrastructure. But if the explosions were smaller, the attack would not have gotten into the news. I think they made the explosions larger than necessary just to make headlines, without regard to collateral damage. I think that’s the part that would get any other country into hot water as a war crime.

But more importantly, they have proven to Hezbollah that Israel cannot track these closed pager networks, otherwise they would not have needed to blow them up! So now Hezbollah has learned to open up every pager before deploying, and once they source more devices they have their secure network back.

So in a few months, Israelis will be in a less secure position than they were before the attack, just because some of their leaders wanted to make headlines.

You mean more than we see here on a daily basis?

The way forward is to stop looking at those as “features of the keyboard and mouse that I purchased” and consider them as “unlockables” where you have to pay again by handing over your personal info. Then stop buying their stuff, because it’s absurd to have to pay twice.

I prefer my keyboards and mice as dumb as possible. Preferably with cables, so I never have to worry about charging them.
