I’ve seen places with generic QR codes, and at best most would just have a logo in the middle the sticker could easily go around, if that particular target would lead to a big enough pay off. I don’t know what the ROI would be. I don’t know how these hackers make money, but they seem to make enough to make it worth their time.
No one working at the restaurant is analyzing the pixels in a QR code to see if they are in the right spot. A QR looks like a QR code. Show someone 10 QR codes and ask them to pick the one from their restaurant, no way anyone is getting that right based on anything more than dumb luck.
The fake one could even forward on to the normal menu after it does the nasty bits, assuming it’s just installing something that will run in the background. This seems like a great way to get some malware out into the wild, especially if it can’t self-replicate.
QR codes as menus are a security risk. A bad actor could make up some stickers and put them on the table in place of the menu QR code. The code could then take the user to a malicious site, that they think they should be able to trust.
They don’t want any of the girls to mistake one of the boys for Jesus and accidentally sin trying to do his will.
Rookie numbers compared to others here, but my main save in Breath of the Wild was around 350 hours. However, I had 2 other profiles where I’d also play so I could start over without caring. So in total it was likely 1,000+ hours.
Everyone on this bus is my family.
Worth noting, bots are now better than humans at captcha.
How has no one brought up A Kid in King Arthur’s Court. Am I the only one old enough to remember this?
A person would have to be able to do enough to get the right person’s attention. Otherwise, they’d be indistinguishable from the town drunk.
It would depend if the king saw you as an asset or a threat.
I saw The Blob for the first time when I was about 7 years old and it haunted me for years. I recently re-watched it to find it more silly than scary.

I watched The Matrix pretty recently, and was like… oh there is a lot of stuff happening right now that starts to fit with this vision of the future (or at least the explanation Morphus gives about the past: https://youtu.be/O5b0ZxUWNf0?si=mw-vVyaziZ0ADjyp&t=115).
We have ChatGPT an every company possible falling all over themselves to make the most advanced AI, Boston Dynamics robots are terrifying, Neuralink to plug in and be the interface between a human mind and a computer, the desperate search for new and better energy source, the metaverse, unreal engine 5 getting us ever closer to lifelike simulations, and governments looking for more and more ways to exercise controls over populations…
Oh, not sure how I missed that. Thanks for clarifying. That makes my choice dramatically easier.
I played the first one, but lost interest after a while. I went many years without playing much of anything, new BoTW and ToTK got me back into it. I recently was gifted RDR2, as I figured I might like it since it was more of a simulation game like the new Zelda stuff. It was gifted to me on PS4, which I have, but haven’t turned on in years. I’m wondering if I should opt for the Switch version instead… but I got the GTA release for Switch and I hate what they did with the aiming. I couldn’t figure out how to make Vice City play like the PS2 and just got upset and quit. If they did similar stuff to the Switch version of RDR2, I should probably just stick with the PS4.
My grandpa lived to 93, lived through the depression, went overseas during WW2, drove a cab and various delivery trucks until he retired. He wasn’t crotchety at all, at least not that I saw, and I spent a good 7 years living just a few blocks away, so I saw him a lot. He was always cracking jokes and singing songs. Before dinner he’d often turn his knife into an instrument (use your palm to hold down the blade end against the edge of the table and flick the handle… Move it in and out to change the tone). When out to dinner he was the one blowing is straw wrapper across the dining area. He’d flop his dentures all around to ways that were silly. He even had an old fart machine made out of some steel wire, a washer, and some rubber bands.
Sometimes he’s say, “people weren’t meant to live this long”, but that’s about as dark as it got and it was normally said in a matter of fact way. He’d usually just say “getting old isn’t for wimps.”
That makes sense. Seems like it’s Latin, cum has many meanings in Latin, but one of them is “along with”.
Any idea what it’s supposed to mean? I feel like I know what I’m going to get if a Google “Indian cum”.
Brush/floss before. They are cleaning off the stuff that a normal brush can’t handle that built up, not doing the daily maintenance. Also, they are right in your face and likely don’t want to smell someone’s lunchtime tuna fish sandwich.
Does it hurt doing it on pavers like that?
