They say Openclaw is vulnerable to attack. Much ado about little.
The Internet is vulnerable to Openclaw.

I no longer make hard right turns on the 405 fwy doing 70mph at 3am in the morning

Retirement doesn't work but it almost works.

Why?

Retirement in the US assumes that you do everything perfect and have no accidents before age 67.

To really allow retirees to get any of the money they've contributed back the system would need to allow folks to retire around 59, when cognition is still close to 100% and you haven't had any stumbles, mini-strokes or misc accidents yet.

I think if they backed the age requirements for retirement 10 years the program would actually be useful.

So why bother at all if the system doesn't work?
Well, it works for a few people. Just not anyone you know, probably.

So far, Prez Trump has knocked out Iran's primary port exports of oil product, but has not shut down oil production capability.

Not a lot of real harm done, yet. Port can be repaired and slower deliveries can be done via land. So it seems Iran is not shut down at this time.

Am guessing 50% chance he will gradually shut down export capabilities as Iran digs into stubbornness. 15% chance Iran will say hey- sowwwry we bad! 15% chance Trump'll back down. 20% chance of "other."

@nprofile1q... Ahh yeah forgot I have the gold disc release too. It was nice but the EQ is off. The album to look for, if you don't have it, is the copy of DSOTM for SQ/quadraphonic. That EQ on that vinyl release was the best.

Partially coz on CD they could pump up da booma booma to make the buyers happy. On the quad-sq disc they had to be careful with the levels. So it's more mmm... civilized and you can hear everything clearly. That's the only copy of DSOTM I enjoy at all these days.

I was just talking to one of my friends who is a Persian and I asked him what he thought of this whole Iran war business. He just said "meow".

@Caek Islove 🍰 💖 "one of my friends who is ______" = bullshit. "my friend ___ who is ____" = perceived as real.

Please avoid using "one of my friends" in any statement it will be perceived as false and/or uneducated.

Your college teacher was supposed to tell you this but lately it seems they prefer to laugh at their students instead. Sorry for that.

@nprofile1q... These guys were laughing it up in the White House w/ FDR a week or two before Pearl was attacked. That really smeared the egg all over FDR's face.

Only thing I've seen like it in my generation was George Bushie's "can we help" w/ the sunken russian sub. When I heard that I was like ohwwwww c'mon!
