Yeah, he tried to claim it was a lawnmower accident but his lawn showed no signs of having been mown anytime recently. That and the fragment mark, "chunks of flesh" and bomb supplies in his place kind of shut that down.

He clearly was just building a Project Orion style lawn mower and it worked as intended.

Seems that way. Only description of the taste I could find was that it has "notes of wild strawberry, cherry and beetroot". Pretty sure if there was any actual Jalapeños in it that description would be pretty different.

Lol running than many people through any sort of hyperloop deal-o. I mean good for them if they do it, but seems like just going to be a fascinating disaster.

the trick is to carry around a pocket full of unshelled peanuts during crow season and if they look like they're sizing you up you can distract them with a flurry of legumes

Well, it wasn't the build, it was the data. TBH I believe an NGO would have poor data recovery practices. Though it's still totally possible it's a plausibly-fabricated story to scare the hacker straight.

Quite a lot of smaller NGO are notorious for having bad IT practices. For a while I worked at an NGO which one of their main goals was to try and help other NGO's/Community org to not be so poo poo at IT.

This feels like an "eh this seems to work, maybe we'll try and work something better out later when we have more time" type solution, for if you needed to make a national demographic database and everything was buggy as hell and the age equation didn't work with date birth column and you couldn't figure out what the gently caress it was and the deadline was in a few hours.

(and to save google for those who were also interested, apparently yes Koreans still do traditionally celebrate certain birthdays, but not all! No idea if this has changed more recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_birthday_celebrations)
