  • Both these are in my all-time top ten, it would be like choosing to kill one of my kids... Is what I would say if the 1979 movie Alien wasn't a masterpiece. It would win by a long shot. Now if we're talkin 1986 Aliens, I would keep The Thing, because it's objectively a better movie.

  • Yeah, I got a phone warning before the last earthquake I experienced in Washington. It's pretty cool, but I got the notification probably 15 seconds before I felt it. Maybe I could have planned better if I had longer, but it was like a 4.5 so it didn't matter. Japan has a really good advanced warning system, the notification sound is pretty eerie.

  • The author of that article seems real and makes a decent point. Reddit is infested with that shit nowadays.

    There's tells I've noticed that if something seems to friendly, or formal, and the tone seems too verbose it might be generated. Formatting gives it away as well

  • Hey thanks for that. I do like hackernews and ars technica. And I already selfhost a bunch of other stuff. So I guess I found what I'm going to setup next. In the past whenever I've looked into RSS I've found some sites go out of their way to try to stop it.

    For example here's a site I'd like to get the feed for featured reviews: https://rateyourmusic.com/

    Short of scraping it with python beautiful soup I don't see an easy way to get the feed.

  • "Shapiro says they are being raised on a 800-hectare reserve where they are being observed and cared for. “They can’t get a splinter without us knowing,”

    I've seen that movie. But seriously, this company is clearly bullshit. It's like 2025 Theranos.

  • "Furthermore it was said that a drone gun had triggered the panic, which is highly doubtful from a technical point of view."

    Anyone who's seen the video can see it's not a drone with a gun causing the panic. Although you couldn't see it, that vehicle probably focused a high pitch sound to clear the road.

    Edit: this is a different video than the original one I saw but it looks like they're using the same technique here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CvY9sVUERV0

    Do you guys think this is a scam?

    Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here's the text message I got leading here.

    "Wishing you a bright and sunny day!" Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.
