What’s actually news worthy is that TSA managed to catch this. Their success rate is abysmal, so I’m sure this is a big confidence boost for them.

The guards that patrol the ice wall.

Entirety of NASA. Entirety of NOAA. Meteorologists. Cartographers. Everyone who works on Google Earth. Every engineer who works on satellites, rockets, and planes. Physicists.

However, I do think 10% is probably too high an estimate. While these are a lot of people in a lot of areas, they represent pretty small demographics each.

Hallucinations while half-asleep are a well known phenomenon, so it’s very possible.

If you’re trying to know for certain, that’s harder. You’ll have to consider a lot of things. Not all of them are likely, so how much digging you do is dependent on how concerned you are.

Do you live alone? I assume you do, or already asked the people you live with.

Are all your exterior doors and windows locked? Is anything missing or out of place? I think you’d have already noticed if you’d been robbed, but this is easy stuff to rule out.

Do you have functioning Carbon Monoxide detectors? Do you have sleep apnaea? CO can lead to memory loss, sleep apnaea can contribute to sleep paralysis.

Have you seen your door open while half asleep before? If this is recurring, you can do things like place hairs in the door that will fall if it opens.

Have you done a sleep study? This can help determine if your REM cycle is frequently disrupted and if you need something like a CPAP.

There may be a better way, but I use the option to extract the file to a new folder with the same name as the zip file.

In my opinion, when you prioritize money over values, it’s just bigotry with more steps.

At least the end result is the same, even if the motivation is potentially different.

The original design of that bench is an art piece protesting the commercialization of life (although it may have been implemented seriously in some place where they missed the point).

Ironically, I’d expect a person living on the street to have actual coins capable of operating the bench more often than most people.

Way worse than break his neck, he outright accidentally shoots himself in the head.

And then it was insane that the zombies can magically tell if someone is specifically terminally ill and then will actively avoid them.

It is a little refreshing compared to blanket denial and insisting the “true” racists are the people who call him out. Or crocodile tears and insisting “that’s not who I am”.

But yea, still not good.

Subsistence wage is what you are thinking of, to meet basic biological necessities. A living wage allows for moderate comfort, because there is more to living than just surviving.

The “recycling” in Soylent Green is due to global warming and overpopulation causing a bunch of food scarcity. It’s definitely prescient in that way, but also weird in the context of the diagram.

I’d never heard of Subsync before and I’ve just spent the last two hours fixing so many subtitles.

I’d had good results using SubtitleEdit to offset subs and set sync points before, but this tool is on another level. I might actually need to go back and use it to polish up a few subtitles that I got mostly right, but not quite.
