This is funny mostly because you can’t really do anything useful with a Flipper Zero.

What a weird day
I did, a few times, back in the day, send emails encrypted with PGP through one of those Cypherpunks services that chopped them up at the packet level to cloak the recipient’s server.
It is important for you to realize that you have probably never once in your life sent a private email. That’s just not how email works. Sure, turn off whatever Gmail features you want, but you’re just playing whack-a-mole with the technical realities of email as a concept.

I played Doom on a 386sx25 (no math co-processor on the cpu!!!) and it was jerky af and still terrifying. When a demon jumped out at me and fired a missile in my face, I literally screamed.
Also, Silent Hill on PS2. Not first, but def scariest.

What was the first video game that scared you?
It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.

80 years ago tonight at Los Alamos, 24-year-old graduate student and Manhattan Project physicist Harry Daghlian, Jr., was conducting a risky criticality experiment by himself in a shack when he accidentally dropped a 4.4-kg (9.7-pound) tungsten carbide brick on a 6.2-kg (13.7-pound) plutonium core.

my favorite fact about tom lehrer is that he dropped out of public life because it was annoying. he wouldn't do interviews and would tell people who wanted to interview him that they could print anything about him and he wouldn't deny it. my favorite song is poisoning pigeons in the park.
My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.
