I met Captain Crunch around 2012, really nice and still insanely curious about phone systems.
Target sent credit card information to the back of the store unencrypted. Bluetooth didn’t need encryption because nobody can get that close. You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.
Wild times.
I wish I could say that’s a joke.
Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.
It’s hard to get material out before they really do it. My article on trump taking over turning point only beat vance hosting the show by 24 hours.

There’s a whole article I could write on etched bullets, but I’m trying to find the right angle.
I considered a Luigi Special tie in, but it got off topic
I like to imagine his face if Obama won the award he created.
Believe it or not I spent time considering what to call the prize. In the end I think they’d assume US = better.
I also thought about describing the medal depicting an eagle driving a 4-wheeler off a ramp. But I felt that was both too over-the-top and too creepy if it came true.
I feel I have a case, they are stealing my material.
Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Enable satire detection for only $5.99/month!
They probably pay less than I make. I’d rather someone young get their big break than work there.
Also it’s dangerous to turn your hobbies into jobs. Sometimes imposing a deadline can ruin a passion.
So, like Hyundai? Pretty sure they wash every bag first.
Good to know, I believe I heard it expressed wrongly in US media then.
