  • It’s well documented that serial killers tend to preferentially go after the homeless, drifters, addicts, sex workers, etc because they know the law gives no shits about them and will probably not even bother to investigate beyond a superficial glance let alone actually prosecute. Those groups are effectively medieval-style outlaws that anyone can kill if they wanted to. You’ll even get police flat out saying that investigating their deaths would be “more trouble than it’s worth” or “divert resources from more pressing matters.” They’re literally viewed as subhuman in the eyes of the law.

    Wait air horn “air” is actually butane?

    That’s… really fucking dangerous especially since most people wouldn’t expect air horns to shoot out flammable/potentially explosive gas. Though, butane probably has a lower global warming potential compared to most of the non-flammable refrigerants used in air dusters and such. Takeaway: Use an electronic siren if you need to make noise instead of a canned airhorn.

    Tangential rant: It’s disgusting how pet supply/vet/insurance companies exploit your love for your pet to gouge you for as much money as possible. Pet food costs more than human food a lot of the time where I live while being made of the cheapest factory floor scraps that they were otherwise going to throw in a dumpster, while they opine about how wholesome their ingredients are and how even you could eat it if you wanted to (which should be the fucking norm for food, humans are also animals and if it’s not safe for us to eat it’s not safe to eat period). Vets have been shown by investigative journalists to routinely order completely unnecessary expensive procedures (that are also extremely stressful for your pet so you’re not doing them any favours) and all but accuse for not loving your pet enough you when you can’t afford it. Pet insurance has insane deductibles/copays and all but the very most expensive tiers do not cover preventative care, checkups, or even vaccines so they’re basically useless for 90% of the vet visits you’ll actually go to and are really only for emergencies/freak accidents (and even then they’ll probably try to deny you coverage like human insurance does). Don’t even get me fucking started on small pets/fish and how inhumane pet stores that sell them are, but just know that they grossly under-report the needs of those pets because they don’t want you to have all the knowledge/resources you need to care for them and would prefer they died in a week so you’d come back and buy another one, you’ll spend less money if the pet is healthy and long lived.

    Yes you would.

    Yes you absolutely fucking would.

    Shut the fuck up corporate social media.

    A marketing post like this is tone deaf as fuck and an insult to our intelligence to even imply you wouldn’t have. I’m so fucking sick of corporations seeing any internet sensation as an opportunity to cash in and make it about them. Fuck you.

    That should only shred the top level files in the root directory though. Since shred doesn’t do it recursively and doesn’t know what to do with subdirectories.

    Do any distros store system critical files at the root directory? It’s all subdirectories on mine. I guess if you were storing important data files in the root directory they would get shredded but that’s really bad practice anyway and I doubt it’s super common.
