I remember someone made an Arma3 competitive multiplayer map where two teams had to sling load objects into their storage area from a large field. The flight model in Arma is not the most sophisticated, but it's complicated enough to make this mode really fun.

I read these Tales from Yankland with incredulity and morbid fascination. The thought that a fire fighter would stop fighting a fire because someone hadn't paid their taxes is utterly alien to me.

Imagined posted:As far as I know unless the freaking NSA is after you, anything more than overwriting your drive three times is probably overkill and any vulnerability beyond that point is speculative and theoretical. Overwriting isn't all that useful on newer storage media (i.e. SSDs) If you want to erase something, use blkdiscard --secure, which will cause the device to nuke everything. If it doesn't support that, blkdiscard --zeroout will zero-fill everything. If that's not paranoid enough, physical destruction is the only option. We have a degausser for mass destruction, which is much more appropriate for a university than a hammer. (Though we also have hydraulic presses capable of 600 MPa from all sides and temperatures of 600°C)

DandyLion posted:When I worked in Gaming the IT guys would always give me the Hard Drives to 'dispose of' simply because I took such enjoyment from dropping them from the top of the 6 story parking garage and smashing them against the concrete walls. But yeah a good hydraulic press probably works just as well. Thinking more about it, I could also submerge them in liquid nitrogen. I have a tank outside my office and a few more within walking distance. That should make the drives extremely brittle so they might actually shatter on impact.

Where is that? Amsterdam? Larger ships get right of way thanks to tonnage and inertia and that parade looks to be going slower than walking speed, so it's fine. Except that gently caress in the small black boat in the top left trying to cross the stream of ships. You don't do that. The larger ships can't directly see you and even if they do, they may not stop or divert course in time. Cripes.

Kiel Week was moved to September this year but without the drunk assholes on land. Social distancing is easier when everyone confines to a boat I guess. Still, I doubt it's going to be the same. IIrc you can't even cross to Denmark right now (and vice versa) so a lot of our Baltic friends will be absent…

This literally just happened a few hours ago. As far as I can tell that crane bent _backwards_. https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/Rostock-Erneutes-Unglueck-mit-Hafenkran,hafenkran156.html Click on the video. Quick translation of the first paragraph: quote:A serious industrial accident occurred on Saturday afternoon at the Liebherr premises in Rostock's overseas port. According to the police, a heavy-duty crane mounted on a ship buckled during a heavy-duty test after a rope broke. Parts of the crane fell onto the ship and onto the quay wall. According to initial findings, five people were injured, according to a police spokeswoman. Two of them had to be treated in hospital. The police and fire brigade were on site with a large contingent. Investigations into the cause of the accident are continuing. Investigators have not yet been able to provide any information on the extent of the damage.

Well yes, they managed to throw two cranes in the harbour during loading and it took two months to get them out. Including fun hazard stuff with 10 000 L of oil and diesel that had to be pumped out first.

Being stuck downwind of a poultry farm for a few hours should make people swear off meat forever as well. The way that stench sticks to you is just a bonus, the main course can make you vomit.

Here are AG's amazing rules for not getting hit by huge ships: Avoid the big ship. They are much faster than you think, but they won't stop or change course much. They do not see you, and even if they do, they won't do poo poo but honk at you. Also, consult your maps for nautical channels and only cross them when they are clear. Look both ways before crossing. You learn that in school over here

This pacifist generally prefers a very Zen approach to life but if that detector woke me in the middle of the night with no way to turn it off there would be murder. I'd probably drown it in the sink or smash it to bits and write a strongly worded letter in the morning. Also, all cat owners know cats have a pretty good vocabulary, plus body language.
