That was amazing



ofc they advertise the poo poo out of lifelock on right wing radio alongside gold and prepper food so you already know it's a scam.

Sorry to dig this up, but I actually ran into a guy at a "business networking" Meetup (they're just as horrible as you'd expect them to be, doubly so in Utah the MLM capital of Earth) and he came across as just desperate to make a sale. The kind of "not trying" that just seems really desperate. I feel sorry for him.

anyway lol at what I've learned about LifeLock

In case you didn't click this, the name of this new range of appliances which include ovens? Zyklon. Yep.

It's a bit more explainable once you realize that Zyklon is cyclone in German (I didn't know that) but still... you're a company that supported and thrived under the third reich. You'd think referencing Hitler in your products would be a big no no. You might even think that as Germans they'd be a bit more aware of their own country's history. G

guess not

No, it’s just that probably dozens of German people saw “Zyklon” on top of an oven and it didn’t occur to them “whoa, hey, uh whoa, this... that’s not great.”

the Zyklon B was used in the showers.

the ovens were just ovens.
Zyklon A was a powerful pesticide that was dangerous to humans so a compound was added to make it very smelly and warn people. Zyklon B is the pesticide without the smell component.

Zyklon A was made by the company started by Fritz Haber, who invented modern agriculture with the Haber-Bosch Process to make ammonia and fixate nitrogen, and also invented chemical warfare with chlorine gas and the battle of Yrpes. Haber was Jewish and left Germany in 1933, so he wasn't there when his company turned the cyanide pesticide into murder gas.

Oh great, I love it when a presenter shows up a minute before doors open and is like "hey play this file off this half-chewed drive, also we need it to start at EXACTLY 00:01:020867"

And yeah, probably should have brought 2 redundant players and an extra copy on a different format just in case arrgrgghhhh

It wasn't really carbon, it was nitrogen emissions that were the problem.

Also his first wife killed herself because of his involvement in poison gas development, and his son eventually killed himself after a bad divorce, and his scientist granddaughter killed herself after she lost her funding for research into antidotes for poison gas.

Correct but now that diesel market share is shrinking in Europe and people are moving back to gasoline, they're having a problem with growing CO2 emissions again which is what the regulations to spur diesel adoption were designed to combat in the first place

So he's indirectly right in a wrong sort of way
