Udvar-Hazy is wild.

"It's got the Dash 80, granddaddy of all modern airliners."

"You mean, it's got a Dash 80?"

"No, the only one. The one that Bob Hoover could have barrel rolled. They have a statue of him in front of it."

He doesn't really believe that that would be a good idea and isn't actually going to do it, but it sounds good to the idiots he wants to vote for him.

Admittedly though I don't know anything about this guy so I don't know if he's a true believer or a grifter. Maybe he is that stupid.

That shouldn't make any difference. If he's making it a policy proposal, every reporter who interviews him should be asking "how can you be this loving stupid and still quality as a sentient organism? Does your staff dress you in the morning? If it rains are you in danger of drowning from looking up at the sky water?"

After reading some of the poo poo people go through with their family, I would say some families absolutely need to be unionized.

He looks like he should be running a Victorian work house in a Charles Dickens novel.

Grip it and rip it posted:

Wouldn't that level of personalization suggest that those individuals are being targeted by somebody they know? The efficacy of large scale phishing campaigns or redirects or whatever seem to rely on the fact that many people use certain sites and could expect an invoice from apple/amazon/whoever based on their recent activity. Getting enough information to specifically suggest that somebody is at the local jail / garage and needs money for their ${carMakeandModel} or whatever would suggest a level of granularity that should be hard to maintain

I don't think so, you just need to gain access to someone's friends/contacts list and blast a phishook out to all of them. 99% will recognize it as a scam, but if you do it thousands of times you get enough hits to make it worthwhile.

I saw some “justification” that Nobles intention wasn’t that the peace prize good to good people per se but to folks who negotiated with their enemies to end conflicts, and if you follow that logic it works.

IIR His North Vietnamese counterpart got it too, but refused it.

Alfred Nobel was horrified at how dynamite was used on humans, so I can't imagine he would have been a fan of the guy who said "dynamite isn't enough, add in napalm and agent orange. No, not on soldiers, just on civilians."
