I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, yeah, I have a standard not very secure but easy to remember password for things I don't really think need passwords.

I have found that there's a big difference between easy to type on a keyboard and easy to type on a phone. That makes some of my passwords annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aside from the mass hacking of password files, what I hear is that the complexity of passwords doesn't matter anymore, since it's just computers running all the possibilities. Is that right? So mynameisjesseandthisismypassword is actually more secure than OS098$&snd?

Unrelated to password security: my dang tub is not drained from yesterday's shower. And I thought we were doing so well. And I'm out of the alleged clog-eating stuff after this morning's dose. Will have to get to Ace at some point for more, I guess.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Jesse, my understanding is that, for the most part, that is true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nice tagline, -t.

I think my first pet's name would be ironclad against guesses as opposed to a random letter generator, as it's a word I made up at the age of four.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oooh, I'm cross now. My cholesterol did actually go up, by just a few points -- but my HDL (that's the good cholesterol) went up, which is a good thing, so the doctor isn't concerned. My LDL (the bad cholesterol) went down, which is also a good thing, so overall the doctor is happy with the general trend, but still wants my total number to come down, and recommended taking red yeast rice supplements.

Stupid oatmeal. You had one job.

t edit Also, our hot water heater decided to stop working, and it's 52 degrees out. I am not looking forward to that shower.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Jesse, trying to remember where I read that a string of 4 random words is a stronger password than the lettersplusnumberspluspunctuation that the experts recommend.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
