@boomzilla I actually read this a week ago, but didn't really consider it news.
I mean, the practise is well known. We know that gangs do this. The only thing new here is that the chamber was purpose-built. Does that give us any new information?
...OK, yeah, I guess it means that the gangs are now wealthy enough to have things built for them. Also secure enough in their shield from the law that they don't consider building this an unnecessary risk.

I think it's a lot about the scale and professionalism of the setup.And the way they found it

@dcon said in In other news today...:
Brain aneurysms are tricky. They've got virtually no genetic component as they depend on the details of how bloodflow works in the brain, and the exact microstructure of that is all driven by micro-environmental cues during development. It's technically possible to determine whether someone is at risk, but it needs extremely invasive x-ray-ing of the brain and masses of computer time to analyse the results (complex CFD, yay!) and there isn't really anything you could do with the results as nobody actually knows how to mitigate the risk of a flow-induced rupture. In any case, its believed that a really quite large fraction of people are at risk and most never have a problem (nobody really knows what the trigger is) so it's just not a good idea to start looking from a medical perspective; the looking itself causes harm, there's nothing you can do with the answer, and you'll just end up worrying masses of people over something that probably will never happen.

A 33-year-old tech entrepreneur was discovered decapitated and dismembered in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday, police sources confirmed to ABC News.
Police identified the victim as Fahim Saleh on Wednesday and said the death was deemed a homicide.Well, that would be one hell of a suicide.

I have 2 friends die of them. They were both in their 40s.
I have another friend who was able to recover from one.

@DogsB Eh, these folks have no imagination whatsoever. If Law ever gets them, they're getting years in the clink anyway. So why not make it count?

@DogsB It seems that either Twitter has a serious security problem or someone on the inside in a strategic position helped them. It's almost certainly not the account holders' fault, considering this:

A high school friend and his sister both died of brain aneurysms, about a year or so apart. It was after we'd graduated, and I didn't keep in touch, but I happened to run into a former teacher in the grocery store one day, and he told me about it.

I'm leaning towards an admin or developer has had their credentials compromised. It's not like it hasn't happened on the platform before.

"He was pronounced deceased by first responders on the scene Tuesday afternoon."
Ya think?!?

@boomzilla Ah the old "we'll just give full access to the system to all our tech support drones". What could possibly go wrong?

Cool idea for social distancing, but I hear the service is shocking.

@Mason_Wheeler I had thought of something like this long ago, just without the "concentrating" part. It was to be part of the solar water-heating system, where water would cool the solar panels.
Never did build it though to see how effective it might be...

duck penis
In Indonesian language, "pelir itik" does not mean "goose penis" only, but also corkscrew. You wouldn't like a rubber one for that purpose.
