Nope. They don't fly. Just checked. Still, whaaaat the gently caress.

Someone needs to check this guy out. I'm pretty sure he's just a skin suit concealing thousands of intelligent spiders.

Spiders are awesome and our friends, and really do eat tons of real pests like flies and mosquitos.

How did meeting murderous meth golem John McAfee go, gfsincere? :allears:

He was the keynote speaker at a CISO conference I attended at, you guessed it, Trump Tower in downtown Chicago (see how I brought that around to current events?)

berserker posted:

Maybe he meant something about being drunk

I mean, he was, and I sorta was.

What was most interesting about him wasn't even him, it was his bodyguards. It's like he tossed 100 bucks to a knockoff of Dog the Bounty Hunters family and said "y'all wanna be my bodyguards?" And they said "ya goddamn right we do."

Wait, John McAafee is no longer on the run from murder charges? What happened with that?

He's just a person of interest on a cold case, not formally charged with anything that would merit extradition.

On the other hand:

quote:

As of January 2014, Belizean police have presented no new accusations, and they have not persisted in seeking McAfee's imprisonment for any of the crimes they accused him of. However, they have auctioned off McAfee's seized assets, and his home was burned down under suspicious circumstances.

I really hope we get a movie of this guy's life some day.

Oh yes the absolutely the gently caress do fly. I didn't use my window for a week.

Do you get waterbugs there? They're like cockroaches, except they're huge, live in pipes and only come out at night. They don't go after food or anything, but there's nothing quite like taking a piss in the early morning hours and only noticing one's on the inside of the toilet, two inches from where your butt was, after you've finished. Good luck getting back to sleep after that. Thankfully they only seem to get bad here for like a month in the summer, but I would not be at all upset if they went extinct.

more black people live in southern cities than the southern countryside. the south is just one of those rare places in the us where you go way out into the sticks and it gets less white depending on where you go, like southwest texas

also there are a number of regional cities along the black belt, old mill towns and the like that have 250-500k people. three of georgia's five cities are along the belt

It's hard to pin down, which is why people don't notice when they're touring a place before purchasing. It's more like a seasick feeling, the horizon not staying steady. A tall building in high winds is designed to shift a few inches horizontally (this is much better than the alternative, breaking in half), so it's not as pronounced as an earthquake or the rumble of a train passing by. It's just an uneasy wrongness.

Thanks everyone who answered my question. I have another non-US citizen question.

... you notice it when a skyscraper shakes in the wind? How does it manifest?

I've only ever been up high in a real skyscraper once. (In Chicago, actually.)
Wasn't a windy night though.

Skyscrapers typically dont have much sway to them (a few inches). Freestanding towers on the other hand can move a lot. The CN Tower can sway over a foot in 100km/h+ winds for example. :v:

And speaking of Toronto::

Perchance the debate tomorrow won't be rigged in Trump's favor by the conservative media? But, probably not. Trump is right that the election is rigged: only by the media giving him so many easy breaks and being so unfair to his opponent would a man like him ever make it as far as he did

What, you never read Charlotte's Web or saw the cartoon?

Personally I have a working peace treaty with spiders in my home. The rule is that they have to stay in the basement. If one breaks this rule (and I don't blame them, I haven't posted a sign or anything) then I relocate them. Outside if the weather is warm, and into the basement if it's winter. This works better than you'd think and I rarely find spiders in the upper part of the house. The basement looks like something out of a horror movie. I never kill spiders. If there's ever a nuclear incident and the spiders mutate into the size of cars I'll probably be allowed to live.

because that was where most of the plantations were prior to the civil war.

because that was there the best quality soil for planting and growing was.

because that area was a shallow coastline during the cretaceous period and had a ton of marine plankton in those seas at the time.

The eastern half of the belt is also near the Fall Line, along which a few major cities were founded.

It may be one of those regional things, like how the two coasts use "daddy long-legs" to refer to completely different animals.

Here is what the name water bugs refers to in Virginia:

They're "true bugs." That means their wings form a distinctive triangle shape on their back, and that they have hollow, sword-like mouthparts used to suck juices out of things. Unlike stink bugs and aphids, water bugs are carnivores. I'm told their bite is extremely painful. Sleep poop tight, don't let the water bugs bite your dangling genitals.

If you need on-prem: Windows Server 2008r2 at absolute oldest, Windows Server 2012r2 if you're actually good. Exchange 2013. Use multifactor authentication. Use mobile device management controls.

Alternately, reach out to a good IT consulting firm *cough* There are benefits to having your own desktop support guys but more complex systems handled by pros who do nothing but this poo poo all day, provided they aren't hacks.

What Trump's email resembles is a broom closet nobody has touched in 15 years, seriously, no troll.
