I watched the story time for this incident, the girl is fine. It was the friend who didn’t realize there was a wooden stick in the cake to hold it up before she slammed her head into it. The parents had removed the sticks before hand but forgot one. It actually went through her eyelid and she has a scar to show. I can’t imagine how awful that would have felt but luckily she’s okay
" There have been thousands of fantastic tornado photographs and videos but none quite like this one. It is the nonchalance of Audra Thomas as an F1 tornado swirls a mile away towards her family farm (in the background) that makes it so unusual. She looks like she was posing in front of the Statue of Liberty or such. In fact, the tornado did cut across the farm and destroyed a barn structure on the property. The scene took place south of Beaver City, Nebraska in April 1989. Photo by Audra’s mother, Marrilee Thomas" - source
> Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly, I had no idea about most of this-
I'm always amazed at how teens can be so literate in new tech, but generally illiterate of the internal workings of it. Maybe I'm strange, but I always wanted to understand networks and messaging from an early age.
I fought the battle growing up so I had to learn about opsec before I knew what that even was too.
> To be 100% clear, if I start using something like WhatsApp or Facebook messenger, my mother most likely wouldn't be able to see the messages?
Likely, yes, but facebook isn't secure or really to be trusted as they make money off selling your info. If you're not paying for a product, you are the the product. And sometimes even if you are, you're still the product, phone, cable and video companies do that.
> If so, do you know or think that it might be like that with Instagram too? If I ever have to text a friend something very secretive I normally use Insta for it so that's also a big question of mine-
I can't speak for Instagram, as I thought it was for just posting images. I tried it once, but it was impossible to post decent looking pictures and there's no way to rotate it to the proper landscape setting and gave up. The UI kinda sucked too.
Telegram is ok, but it's not end to end secure.
Signal is the gold standard for end to end encrypted messaging now.
Oh, and don't sync your shit to the cloud either! You have to question how encryption works, and how keys are distributed. There's very little reason for a company to build a truly good and secure platform, as anything that's secure will be a bit clunky to use. Governments and such tend to get secure messaging right, but the stakes are higher for them.
Oh, and email is not secure by default. Google even knows this if you have gmail and is reading everything. You go search for some gay shit one day and you're getting ads for jockstraps hiv testing.
If that was my dad/uncle/big brother and the cop next door.
He would only do that to me the one time.
After that every ajax container and water bottle in my room would be full of this stuff.
Yes we would have a conversation about that later on.
Here's the exact same micro SD card--same brand, same speed class-- for $24.65 direct from Amazon with free shipping on orders over $25. $24.65 x 2 = 49.30. That's nearly half as expensive as the double pack with the Nintendo branding. And this isn't new--Nintendo has been doing it for years. It's a scam to get parents and grandparents who don't know any better to pay a premium they think they need to pay just to be sure it will work wit their kids' new Switch or DS. Enjoy paying more for no reason.
