If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Trying to imagine the level of derangement in thinking Bob Dylan is cooler than Johnny Cash - and I just can't get there. Holy fucking dumbfuck. Even as clickbait garbage this is painfully stupid and Fasman is way too old to be cut any slack for this. Jettisoned to the sun.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

This. Read this and repeat it over and over to yourself if you need to do so.

Never tell a bug reporter that their vulnerability can not be exploited. That only serves to guarantee that there will be an exploit built for your vulnerability.

Try "Thank you, we'll patch that" and see how that works out for you.

Look, I'm not going to say that this is a personal attack ...

... it is. This is a personal attack.

I really hate this archaic nonsense is still a part of the community - but this is a really good post from a couple of Splunk/SURGe folks.

I am so lucky to work on a team that is very diverse across the board but I am very aware that we are flying in the face of the norm.
