I got that, I'm just picturing a world where Spain has Plaza de Toros, Russia has the Bear Cave and everyone gets their own version of this comic.

The equivalent show in the UK is Dragons' Den, which would result in basically the same comic. Do other countries also have their localised versions?

It also has a decent chance of a rocket failure spreading radiation throughout the upper atmosphere in exactly the way we've figured out you shouldn't do.

This article is over five years old - is it still correct and relevant today?

I had to look it up, Dolphin is an emulator for the GameCube and the Wii, supporting 1080p networked multiplayer on Linux, Mac and Windows.

I've seen ones where they're clipped together so handle like a normal connector (and you don't have to connect individually). That should be standard.

In the UK you can't be more than 70 miles (113 kilometres) from the coast, and the coast is mostly beaches.

USB A doesn't support at the fancy high-power PD/PPS features.

I think some will still understand it, although I can't remember the last time I heard anyone use it.

Skrilla is from Philadelphia, where the police apparently don't use 10-67, but it's "Report of Death" in some areas so this still seems the most likely explanation.

I never realised microplastics can be up to 5mm in size, I'd assumed it was referring to pieces that were microscopic.

Anyway, another win for biomimicry, hurrah.

I hadn't seen the original meme and wondered why they'd removed "board".

 

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

Source paper: 3D necroprinting: Leveraging biotic material as the nozzle for 3D printing (science.org)

 

An Australian YouTuber got invited to a NATO wargame and made this very interesting video about it.

The section that starts at 3m30s (10 minutes long) discusses the military history of wargaming which I found fascinating.

The rest of it is also well worth a watch.

It's not new (it sat in my watch later list for a month since it's 65 minutes long) so apologies if you've already seen it.

My personal domain has hundreds of aliases - one for each site I deal with. This is great for identifying the source of spam, and I retire any aliases that get spam.

haveibeenpwned.com lets me add a domain, but wants 3912 USD a year to actually tell me which addresses leaked. This is obviously an insane price for a nice-to-have.

Is there an alternative for free or very cheap? A self-hosted tool that would pull down lists would be great, but I suppose those lists aren't public.

The name, that is.

I was curious if Burp Suite's Dafydd Stuttard was Welsh, which led me to his AMA video.

PortSwigger was his handle when he was starting out, and was a pun about the fortified wine from Portugal and port scanners.

That vid also answers who is Peter Wiener.
