What event would call for throttling a badger?

It’s UKIP, so god only knows, practically anything I assume.

At a guess…

UKIP are a right wing isolationist party and they recently chose a Lion as their mascot animal. To which any sensible comedian would say “Why not choose a native British animal?” and then trying to think of something stereotypically British they’d follow with “Like a badger!”.

Then UKIP would be all serious and say “But a lion is big and strong! I could throttle a Badger!”

Oh my god. That’s got to be it!

Edit: Oh no I’m wrong, he just said it out the blue. Wow!

This was both exactly what I expected, and exactly what I wanted. 2017: the first time giant robots with humans in them punched each other

The second fight looked rather staged I thought. Could have been just the editing of the tape though.

Found this image of my grandparents during their wedding while spelunking through old back up drives, I had completely forgotten that I had this picture in the first place. It’s a beautiful reminder of who they were at the beginning of their 60+ years of marriage.

Reaction of the lady in the back is me.

Mate I don’t even know anymore.

This is very techy but it’s approachable.

“This is weird, this exposes some things, you wouldn’t usually do this.”

If I can figure out how to execute php with privileges on your system I can basically execute arbitrary code, and with this there’s a firewall, windows pop ups, and a password between someone and that, but it’s technically conceivable. And really a particular processor/motherboards raid configuration utility is not where I’d first think there was a vulnerability like that.

Yeah, that’s kinda bad. Not like trivial everyone is vulnerable bad, but I think absolutely no software should be setting up a webserver on someone’s local machine that isn’t intending to be a webserver. That’s just not what you do.

This seemed appropriate for the FRCF

This made the rounds on the old forum back in the day. Still amazing though.

I would put this in the Lego thread, but this is less of a Lego build and more of a piece of art:

I thought it seemed familiar.

I saw that in my YouTube Recommendations earlier today. I didn’t click it, though.

Last day at a job of 9.5 years.
