In retrospect he didn't actually need the heatsink but it was cool as hell anyway

It's very important to me that you understand I don't just make things up. Excepting a few bits for exceptional humor, I am actually completely genuine

Fun fact early in my career I had an "easy" button mounted to the side of my cube that I would slap on a regular basis. I later understood this was incredibly annoying

did a domain wide search for every mention of "DEI" and deleted the file. Will report back

Hearing SwiftOnSecurity lore

Had 4-5 hours in Toronto btwn train from Ottawa & train to Windsor. Went to a park, struck up a 3 hour conversation w a woman reading a book about Picasso. She asked I wanted to get a drink. I went to my train instead.

When I was 19 I talked for an entire flight with a woman and she invited me to lunch and I told her no thanks

I made this. I don't exactly remember why.

EXTENDED CUT: Watch until the end for 3 min of nonstop dancing aurora last night in my driveway from North Pole, Alaska. Insane show!

My impression of General Counsel is "oh my God why did I take this job" but every day forever

Every time you talk to General Counsel you get the understanding they have enormous experience with doing an exasperated sigh

What if we just remove.. all the copilots

"You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath."

this is literally that comic

Oh no

In reflection I am not a fantastic representative for cybersecurity people being seen as normal

People will react to news of major security vulns with "The only way to stay secure is to live as a hermit and throw your devices into the sea" and then keep chattering on the internet in a deeply unhermitlike manner while not throwing their devices into the sea.

Pardon me, but I'd like to introduce you to another like minded fellow, Jason Torchinsky: www.jalopnik.com/how-pixar-sc...

"San Junipero" of Black Mirror ends with both characters driving into perfect sunset in their convertible, to the tune of Heaven Is A Place On Earth. The year I bought my convertible it was my top played song on Spotify. Because I was recreating that moment every day I drove it.

I swear to God every Taylor Swift fan group on Facebook is just stuff like "If you had to choose a Taylor Swift album to physically manifest as a person and tie you up which would it be"

When the DLSS 5 hits

>and I cry like a baby coming home from the bar Taylor why was your baby at the bar?

Whatever happened to skeeting. That was big at one point.

The vibe I try to bring to every department meeting

Thanks Taylor

One time I got a presentation by someone who does F500 boardroom electronic countermeasure surveillance screening. They're the people who sweep for bugs and install ultrasonics on the windows so you can't point a laser at them. Taylor Swift has absolutely received these briefings. 100% for a fact.

I mention this occasionally but Taylor Swift when you get to understand her, she is _profoundly_ intelligent. Your impressions of her competently managing the crowd and playing to the audience belay someone of immense capability she reveals in lesser-seen areas. You should respect her, like I do.

It is occasionally important to remember that Taylor Swift has received significant numbers of counterintelligence briefings because she is actually a target and she takes it a lot more seriously than many of our elected representatives.

I still think of the time they made fun of Kamala Harris for using wired headphones because she actually listened to the NSA briefings

She inspires me every day

Whomst amongst us wasn’t trapped in that sandbox when someone put the lid on it over you and then they stood on top of it?

You're lucky your back problem cleared up, some day it won't

"What are you?" You did not want to ask. But you had to. She had individual control of the pilomotor reflex on her skin, as your hand traced down her chest. She props herself up on her arms. Oh no. Oh god. She was prepared for this question. She knows exactly what she is.

It is a relief when you stop falling. When you smack the pavement, before the first inertial bounce. There is a speed this does not occur. You will need to judge this for yourself, on the approach. Michelle. Her name was always Michelle. You find her, but she wasn’t like the first. Not the fourth.

Kid and I have a joint rule: home from the river by dark. My version: sundown. Kid’s version: when he can no longer see his fingers in front of his face and all light is gone from the horizon

They can definitely punch you in the face, if they fancy it.

Americans are aware Manitoba exists, but we don't know exactly where it is. We just know it's not-America, which is sufficient reason to bomb it until it reveals where it is on a map.

We'll dub a hawk in later don't worry about it

The most important thing to remember about bald eagles is they are way bigger than you think. Like, "holy shit oh my god" bigger. "this thing could grab my child and take them to Manitoba" big
