CALLY: [V.O. scream] Blake.

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image captures a huge explosion with a large fireball, likely from a significant detonation or blast, towering into the sky. The fireball is a bright, intense yellow/orange color, and the lighting suggests that the explosion has created a lot of energy, heat, and force. The explosion appears to be occurring outdoors. In the foreground, there are two leafless trees, which indicates that the event might be happening during autumn or winter. Their stark, bare branches create a somber, almost foreboding contrast to the fiery chaos behind them. There is no clear indication of what caused the explosion or the exact location, but the dramatic nature suggests it could be from an accident such as a gas explosion, an industrial disaster, or even something intentional like a bomb. The setting, with bare trees and an overwhelming blaze, hints at a severe and destructive event." Blakes7Bot, version 3.6.8.

This dumb password rule is from Banque de Tahiti.

You have to enter your password using this *very* Frenchy keypad. You don't have lowercase letters, the blanks are not spaces but just non-clickable gaps, but as a compensation you have some weird symbols that your keyboard does not have a key for (e.g. `µ`).

No accessible version available.

Wenn ich schon lese "..wurden ein elfjähriger Junge und seine 15-jährige Schwester von einem schnell fahrenden Auto erfasst." schwillt mir der Kamm, steigt mir die Zornesröte ins Gesicht und ich rege mich tierisch auf!

NEIN! Sie wurden von einem jugendlichen Raser mit seinem PKW schlichtweg über den Haufen gefahren. Wann gewöhnt ihr euch mal an, Klartext zu schreiben, Ross und Reiter in aller Deutlichkeit zu benennen?!?1?!1 Es ist auch - sorry, aber ICH schreibe Klartext - scheißegal, ob es sich um einen 3er BWW oder um eine Nuckelpinne handelt. Oder sollen jetzt alle 3er BMW in sippenhaft genommen werden? Beiträge wie der von Herrn Westerhoff lenken die Sicht - absichtlich? - in eine falsche Richtung, lenken vom tatsächlichen Problem ab!

Booting Linux off of Google Drive

On the brink of insanity, my tattered mind unable to comprehend the twisted interplay of millennia of arcane programmer-time and the ragged screech of madness, I reached into the Mass and steeled myself to the ground lest I be pulled in, and found my magnum opus.
