I doubt he got bored. That mechanical hand probably felt like someone else's until the nerves fully adjusted.

After digging a little, I think I found the start of an answer to this. It shouldn't come as a surprise that saline solution contains sodium chloride. (Basically table salt.) In some cases, there is a small risk of gluten cross-contamination in that salt which may lead to some irritation for people who are extremely gluten intolerant.

This research path immediately opened up a mess of search results that I have no interest in digging through and fact checking.

Based on some of those search results though, I would speculate that there may have been some kind of overblown social media scare about gluten in salt and some companies just started categorizing eyedrops as gluten free.

Then, most importantly, I lost interest in this topic. Cheers!

(The correctly used double negative was confusing for me at first, btw.)

You make a very interesting point I haven't ever thought about before.

While I have always considered myself a patriot to a mild degree, I never associated it with tribalism directly. Even with the many faults of all countries, it's OK to be proud of where you are from. (It does make perfect sense that tribalism is the end goal of state sponsored patriotism though.)

In my mind, the fine line after patriotism was usually nationalism where tribalism runs deep and hate-based rhetoric becomes extremely effective. The definition of a patriot is somewhat twisted at that point. (ie: unless you believe [insert something random], you aren't actually a patriot and therefore an enemy of the state.)

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with you, btw. Your perspective is something interesting to think about, s'all. (I am leaning on the agreement side, FWIW.)

(For the people reading this that may not realize that I am using the word "nationalism" in a negative context, I am. If that chaps your hide still, replace it with 'christian nationalism' or 'white nationalism' and fuck off. Everyone else, sorry for the disclaimer.)

Of course they read. Do you think those ticked tock subtitles are going to read themselves when they "do their own research"?

I think a conversation about Hannah Montana Linux could be quite entertaining.

It was him! These guys were also the real Mark Twain:

It's a camera and stickers like this one of many odd DEFCON traditions. (Security professionals in large numbers is an interesting sight to behold.)

Edit: Unrelated bit of history from the time: This also was the DEFCON where Marcus Hutchins was arrested. The fool come rolling in driving a Lambo for some reason so we kinda figured something was up.

(One of my favs from DEFCON a few years back.)

South Carolina is just a floppy extension of Myrtle Beach and mostly consists of the void you might need to cross to get to Georgia.

It's a weird state. I am sure there are some nice parts, but for the most part, I can't stand it.

I want to say this is one of the darkest farside comics I have ever seen, but "dark" just doesn't seem like a fitting description. (It's still awesome as hell though.)

Shit captions are what ticking tocks is all about, right?

In the original script, using human brains for compute almost destroyed the machines. The short-lived attempt caused an almost unstoppable infection of machines mindlessly watching reruns of the Kardashians and simplifying their language in the laziest ways possible by using words like "ur" and "rizz". One was even heard trying to leave earth, thinking that it has become the brain it was trying to assimilate: "The big brain am winning again! I am the greetest! Now I am leaving Earth for no raisin!"
