Mosquitoes are my mortal enemy, unless someone can prove their eradication will disrupt the food chain so much that great white sharks will disappear ... Push play already.

    If I was a military tactician person I would send a load of dumb fire missiles everywhere across the middle east, using up all the very expensive defense missiles systems. But I'm just a dullard person on the Internet.

    During lockdown I used them and booze delivery a lot. The big junk food companies suck you in with deals but the "food" is dog shit. Delete those apps, just use ones with local restaurants. Better for you and them.

    Before reading the article I honestly thought this would be about athletes trying to pick up in the village. It was even stupider than I imagined.

    Are you sick and tired of having all your insurgencies in an faraway, hard to pronounce land? How to make one right on your door step.

    Haven't looked at one of the Epstein files, I'll leave the legality and content sleuthing up to others. What I am interested in is how these supposedly redacted PDFs were made.

    I have dug out my copy of ol' Acrobat pro 9 (fuck Adobe anything after CS6) and have run a few tests. The redact tool is powerful, incredibly easy to use and idiot proof. If there are redacted PDFs that can be hacked (copy & paste) they weren't made using the redact tool in Adobe Pro.

    There is a theory going around that DOGE cuts removed Adobe Acrobat licences and the thought of hundreds of untrained FBI or DOJ agents frantically using a black highlighter in MS Word is absolutely hilarious to me. Move fast; break things.

    It has been so long that recently I borrowed a portable DVD drive to extract auto diagnostic software, completely forgetting I have a laptop with a DVD drive.

    I'm wondering if the flattened ones can still be bypassed with vector software. If the pdf's don't have security: open with illustrator or inkscape, delete black shapes, font get left behind as outlines, resave as pdf, OCR with acrobat. Hey presto... Searchable documents again.
