Ahh a slot tech in the wild 🧐. A rare creature, known for its great distaste of the peasants who flock to its machines in search of a glory that remains elusive.

Quite painful I’m afraid

Yeah it did, it caused a mental shift on how you look at it from giving you something to taking something away from you instead.

I dont really feel tempted at all long term, because I had tried smoking one a couple years later and it was like sucking on an ashtray. Because I was no longer addicted I didn’t get the relief anymore that smoking gave, and that let me move on more fully.

I have been firing up The Powder Toy for well over a decade to kill time during meetings

This book was how I finally managed to quit smoking well over a decade ago.

If you’ve ever been to a casino in the last 15 years you are already in at least one

Yeah, exactly the same thing at play in the movie industry as well.

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

Yep its the opposite of the meme but didn’t want to point it out and ruin it lol

A Shahed-136. Iranian made, its a kind of kamakazi drone

Wireshark won’t show you anything if it’s encrypted, other then a communication taking place. There’s nothing stopping them from batching or otherwise obfuscating things through all kinds of means.

Windows has the free zones powertoy which does the same. So its an option but not in the OS by default.
