The more factors, the less secure. Each one you add is another potential exploitable authentication method. It’s only as secure as the least secure MFA method you add.

Yes, carcinogenic. Not “just as” carcinogenic.

I am a biochemist. These are not big words to me. I actually read the findings section, not only the abstract.

“Just as carcinogenic” is not demonstrated by that study.

Lithium and lead are drastically different elements.

Same as it ever was.

Ever wonder how many wars got started because of an embarrassed little man of a tyrant? Unfortunately we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes, I suppose we’re only human. All this fancy high tech bullshit changed everything but also didn’t change a thing.

No new wars!

Every infectious disease has a cure, and now I’m reminded of the XKCD Petri dish comic.

This is what I do. I allow it to go to 100% for traveling. I don’t need 100% charge when I’m around the house or at work with access to a charger.

Easily one of my favorite appliances, up there with dishwasher and washing machine. My floors are always insanely clean because that thing drives around every day.

The gamification of killing is nothing new, the highest honors a country can bestow are usually for killing other people. Even without handing out little achievement trinkets, the concept of gaining honor for slaughtering your enemies goes way back.

Which global government enforces international law? Ah that’s right, there is none. Might as well say it violates galactic or universal law.

Then there’s programs ran by the bases to offer financial relief even in no shutdowns, not sure how’d they ration their funds during a shutdown.

I haven’t seen programs run by the base themselves, but AER is Army Emergency Relief. They have a lot of money and will either give you a no or very low interest loan or often just give you a grant that you don’t have to pay back.

Ah, yeah you’re right. My bad. I believe there were threats of shutdowns but they never happened. Still got some emails from USAA about what to do in a potential shutdown AFAIK.

This happened during the Obama administration, I was active duty in those days. I think USAA and AER had some programs if you needed a check during the shutdown, not sure if that’s happening these days.

Wow, has it really been that long?

After Pink Floyd used it, the Hammerskins adopted the symbol. They’re a pretty big white power skinhead group. They even hold little neo Nazi music festivals.

Remember that shooting of the Sikh temple in Wisconsin? That guy was associated with the Hammerskins.

You don’t need planes in the air 24/7, you need good radar and radio detection equipment.

Regardless, my point is drones are neither high flying nor fast. They’re often able to be caught by helicopters, which also are not high flying or fast. Very high and very fast, simultaneously, is SR-71 levels of performance.

They are indeed hard to hit given their size.

Drones neither fly high nor fast, at least in airplane terms.

That’s not how your immune system works. Your immune reserves are not “spent” nor do they need to replace ones “lost”. It’s not like a military battle. Most pathogens are either destroyed or they avoid destruction through some mechanism - they’re not often fighting back against the WBCs.

Your immune system produces chemicals that make you feel like shit / tired, because it’s evolutionarily advantageous to feel like shit. This keeps you resting and away from others. This is also how medicines like NSAIDS or steroids can make you feel better, by inhibiting the processes instigated by WBCs. It’s not the disease that makes you feel bad, it’s your immune system (unless you’re deathly ill, we’re talking common cold/flu/COVID type stuff here).

It would be impossible for me to go in depth in immunology but your explanation is not at all in line with the evidence we have currently.
