Now? I didn't see a single person over 40 carrying one of those fucking tiki torches in 2016

I found it wedged into one of those 'look what they're putting in our Halloween candy' memes. It was a snickers bar cut in half and his address in the middle. God I love the internet sometimes.

Haven and Hearth. It's apparently a fairly old MMO, and I think I picked it up after it's mostly dead, but it's still a bit fun. The low population left in the game honestly might be saving me from grief while still learning the game.

It got the visuals, difficulty, and finality of Zomboid, but more of a rust style game play where you're just a naked person with rocks and sticks building huts. I still don't know fully what I'm doing, the goal is still just don't die.

I'm in the same boat. I've made some headway but they weren't kidding, it's hard! I'm still struggling on new maps managing my time between building defenses and ramping up industry. I definitely prefer the part after finishing waves where I can relax and perfect my build.

The wrt54g. They don't make wifi routers like they used to.

I used to work for a company that would put temporary cameras out to record particular intersections or stretches of road. It was all temporary traffic safety studies, not an active search or dragnet surveillance, so my conscience was mostly clean. It was still wild to see how much technology can be quickly put out to record and track drivers.

On top of cameras we had Bluetooth sniffers that would get put up on every leg of a 4way intersection and just collect Bluetooth hardware addresses. It doesn't identify you, but it is able to tell which direction you took at that 4 way because your Bluetooth address only showed up on two of the boxes.

One of the more surprising methods for hiding cameras were those big orange traffic barrels. When they stack on top of each other, there's a 6-8in gap between the tops where you can stash stuff. If you ever see two of those barrels stacked on each other, look for a little window cut out near the top of the top one. There might be a camera sitting on top of the bottom barrel and hidden by the top barrel. They'd point it to capture back license plates, so you don't see it when driving towards it.

I'll pick up the pedantic torch. Trains are made of train cars, I'd argue each one is a separate car or vehicle even though they're strapped together.

I feel like The ISS ticks a lot of the boxes for a vehicle though, how big is that?

Maybe I have to go to the bathroom and I see a janitor making their way towards the same bathroom. We both start an all out sprint for the bathroom door. In this moment we are both adversaries, but his goal is to clean and my goal is to evacuate my bowels. Sure we are competing for the same resource, the bathroom, but our objectives with the bathroom are different. You could also say we are almost playing a different game, he's trying to not spill his mop bucket and I'm clenching my cheeks.

I dont know. I agree with your point, but I think there's more benefits to keeping it intact. Maybe a middle ground is to mark up the photo with 'SCAM' 'DO NOT USE' etc, but leave the address intact. It's a phishing scam, so the address is the only info anyone has to potentially track them down. Maybe the address was used somewhere else, and there it can be tied to a person. The top comment here is someone already creeping on the address, which confirms:

  1. people do do this legwork in the crypto world, there's probably exchange admins and the like punching the address into their own databases and just not informing us because they didn't find anything.

  2. Noone has been dumb enough to send to that address yet, even before it was getting called out as a scam

If it's censored noone can do even a cursory glance into it

I'm always happy to remind everyone that your childhood didn't have minigames during loading screens because it was a patented game mechanic!
