Shortly after midnight last Sept. 26, a digital seismograph tucked inside a shallow well on the Danish island of Bornholm picked up an unusual signal. The device, roughly the size and shape of a football helmet, registered a pressure wave passing through the rock beneath the island. The wave generated a stream of data points that zipped along cables to a nearby family’s garage, where a computer snipped the signals into chunks representing a few seconds apiece. That data then traveled via internet cables strung beneath the Baltic Sea to Copenhage The Nord Stream Explosion Remains an Unsolved Mystery Gripping Europe https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-04-20/nord-stream-pipeline-exp…

Karl Semich committing suicide after discussions with a chatbot, that included the possibility of him killing himself
by professor rat 22 Apr '23

I would love to sell you some Fentanyl K. But I'm on the other side of the planet and it should be a lot easier to do it where you are - maybe try a Silk Road style website is better for a cretin like you than in person. If you still want me to do it then I'll need your home address and you'll have to pay upfront in a crypto of some sort. 100 USD worth for the F - 100 for moi. Plus all postage. Another alternative that may be more attractive is one of those ' Nitrogen " suicide advisory sites. Get cracking.

3d Printing for Dummies
by professor rat 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

So to get back to the fun - if you support 3d printing things like AK-47's I'm going to try and flag you as a probable school/ Mall / church shooter. And if you oppose that I'm going to frame you as an enemy of this list Hell bent on attacking it from every angle. Its a lose-lose scenario for you - just what any moronic dipshit, scat-submissive masochist loves to revel in. So revel away Bozo. And keep the other thread going! ARSEHOLE!
