It's ok to admit you don't like peanut butter. Next you're going to tell us you only eat the smooth stuff, aren't you? ๐ค

I was going to join those commenting that that seems like a lot, but then I thought about how I nake peanut butter sandwiches. You've really got to trowel it on, or what's the point, right?
I like your pitch, I'll give you $1.50 for 30%, but the name has to be "stror" to hit the "likes apps ending in r" demographic.
You know you can be sociable without giving them details? "Yeah, I'll be seeing family", "Got some jobs around the house that need doing", or even "nah, just taking it easy this time". It doesn't even have to be quite factual. The person asking almost certainly doesn't really care about the details, they're just trying to connect with you, so maybe have some fun with it. Hint that you have a secret identity as a superhero who fights the misuse of apostrophes or em-dashes, or that you spend all your spare time painting minatures models of slime molds.
Where this approach falls apart is where the argument they're making is convincing enough that it might appear legitimate to a less informed reader than you. The reader may not engage with the comment, but, if there's no counter-argument, instead go away believing it may have some validity.
Obviously thus doesn't apply to the more blatant forms of trolling, but even that distinction can be blurry.
Niw there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. Is it still actually going?
They couldn't come close to dealing with thousands of drones. You can do a rough calculation for the number needed to overwhelm a laser by considering the speed they fly at (200mph seem to be a middle of the pack number for longer range attack drones) and the length of time it takes for the laser to aim and cause the drone to fail (in the order of 5 seconds or so from demo videos IIRC). In that 5 seconds, the drone will have travelled around a quarter of a mile. So for every mile of range the laser has, it can only fend off around 4 drones. Any more than that would have to be dealt with by the CIWS. So, even given a 10 mile effective range, and say three lasers, a ship would be overwhelmed by a fleet of around 120 drones. Round that up to 150 or so, and you're scoring direct hits on it.
When you're dealing with a large fleet of servers you need a system that you can automate. IPMI is (sort of) standardised, so you can use the same tooling to monitor and manage all of your servers, regardless of model or manufacturer. A serial based interface would put a lot more friction in the way of that, and mean you have to manage and maintain even more devices.
That's very decent if them, but the thing is, there's now strong demand for those houses, as there's a corporate buyer looking to purchase them, so the price has gone up a bit. Say by an extra digit or so added to the value.
I don't think the difference between him physically triggering the wipe and him giving them the code that triggered the wipe would have much effect from a legal point of view. In both cases he deliberately took an action he knew would lead to the destruction of the data. I think his defense's approach of challenging the legality of the stop is probably much safer.
I suspect that the prosecution would like to set precedent that you can't claim to be under duress when a lawful authority is performing a search, so the defence staying away from that area is probably a good idea.
I find a pinch of salt helps to bring out the flavour and accentuates the roast. It's got to be crunchy though.
