Ogio. I have 5 or 6 bags including some luggage. All have held up for 10s of years. Recently the luggage (7 years old) had a zipper break and Ogio just replaced it no questions asked.

Thermometer from my deployment to Iraq in 2008. Pretty sure that day we were over 130F. I have to do some more digging but I believe I have a photo of one over 140F.

Anything metal becomes burn your skin hot in just a few minutes. Exposed skin is very uncomfortable almost immediately.

Can confirm hair dryer weather at those temps.

I suppose we should just start throwing people "likely" to do crimes in prison preemptively!? That's not how anything else works. Why would it work like that here?

Most of the back and forth is predicated on the idea that the digital world works the same as the digital one. It does not!

In the physical world you cannot produce and exact copy of something for zero dollars.

In the digital world you can make many copies at effectively zero cost.

Stealing, theft, is predicated on taking something from someone so they no longer have it.

Making a digital copy does not steal or remove access.

The whole argument, which I would posit is deeply flawed, is that pirating removes imaginary potential profits for reselling the thing copied (not stolen). If that's so then prove it. Prove that at some point in the future I, or any other given person, would have bought that digital thing. Unless you've invented time travel you just can't.

Copying digital content isn't theft and pirating isn't the right thing to call it.

We have to figure out how to better frame or address the digital world that just fundamentally doesn't operate the same as the physical one.

Yeah I don't think we want to demonize the folks that work at Redhat.

Hole up! Doesn't the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn't thought that through all the way.

Sure, now which pre-existing piece of xmpp based software checks all the feature boxes as noted by both Signal adherents and myself regarding Session? Are you implying the lay user code their own? If that exists you could have just linked to it rather than engage in whatever this is.

I will preface this with, I may be wrong, but as I understand it xmpp is just a protocol. One that, unless it's been revised, imparts no encryption at all. Signal, and Session, are full architectures that enable all of the afrementioned features from my initial post including server and client.

Wow, a bit touchy. I didn't indicate that your world view was problematic. Just US centric. Was not in any way implying some morals to the debate.

Simply stating facts that not all, arguably not even a majority are IT professionals, except perhaps in the US.
