They did that, too. They released redacted flight logs and documents that were heavily edited, but it was impossible to remove all references to Trump and various oligarchs they'd like to protect, so they stopped.

He argued they include private exchanges with lawyers, details about policy-making decisions and information that would reveal how the state entices companies to invest here. Releasing them to the public, he wrote, “would have a chilling effect on the frank and open discussion necessary for the decision-making process.”

Holy shit, that's definitely an argument in favor of making it public.

I don't even work for the government, and my personal rule is "never put anything in writing that I wouldn't be able to explain to a judge."

You don't even know how bad it could be.

There's a memo?

Soooo many safety concerns exist in unimaginable situations only because just a handful of people are aware of them.

I always wanted a novelty 5 inch bay device that was release a small wisp of smoke from the front of the pc case, like mission impossible. It could be a command, or randomized and it would councide with a BSOD or just a power-off command (probably screen off now that I think about it).

I know, the first time someone said it, he wasn't there, and I was like... wait, are we just fucking with Matt? And everyone said no, he is a dad of young kids who does shift work. He drinks a lot of coffee (we all did, the coffee machine was perpetual employee of the month), and he prefers to have it room temperature because he won't feel it burn his mouth. So any time a pot sat on the burner for more than a few hours, we'd dump it into Matt's pot and let it cool.

I always wondered if it fucked up his stomach, because I know stale coffee always gives me heartburn, but we weren't close enough to have those conversations.

I worked with a guy who had neck surgery that severed the nerves to his taste buds. We worked overnight shifts, and we'd save the old coffee for him because he didn't mind the flavor of burnt coffee. There was always a pot of fresh coffee brewing and a pot of stale coffee set aside for Matt.

Touch screens in cars are evidence that the auto industry is actively trying to increase auto accidents.
