According to biologists, the term venomous is applied to organisms that bite (or sting) to inject their toxins, whereas the term poisonous applies to organisms that unload toxins when you eat them.
I'm well aware, but I have no data on weather the octopus venom is poisonous, so I can only assume the worse.
Isn't the correct word toxin then?
I mean, if you need to separate venom and poison... In my native language toxin, poison, venom and marriage is all the same word like the gods intended!

But during the photo shoot, she was bitten twice by the sea creature, which contains poisonous venom.
According to biologists, the term venomous is applied to organisms that bite (or sting) to inject their toxins, whereas the term poisonous applies to organisms that unload toxins when you eat them.
My 6 y.o. knows the difference. We were watching a video about unusual animals and one was a poisonous bird. She said not poisonous but venomous.
After watching it , it explained that since it was the birds feathers and skin that it was in fact poisonous.
An then she was like:

Researchers have figured out a way to bypass Apple's Face ID authentication feaure by using a pair of special glasses and the owner of the phone's face.
The researchers note that this would still be a difficult task because users will have to stay incredibly still to bypass Face ID. So unless the person is unconscious and you place these glasses on them, it might be hard to bypass the authentication process.

It looks like this is turning into a competition?
The Right Reverend Dr Gavin Ashenden, Bishop of the Anglican Episcopal Church, said: "I'm afraid I think it's a really serious mistake, perhaps born of desperation.
"The idea that people are so trivial that they can be almost tricked into a search for God by entertaining them with a golf course is a serious-category error."
Canon Matthew Rushton, from Rochester Cathedral, said: "Cathedrals are very confident at the moment to innovate and have events like this and to tell people about our faith in Jesus which is what we're all about.
"The Archbishop of Canterbury said to us that if you don't know how to have fun in cathedrals then you're not doing your job properly."

“My advice to anyone with a penis is be careful when you take Viagra and don’t let anyone come near your cock with an injection because it’s not worth it.”
The second half of that advice is one that really shouldn't be necessary.

@loopback0 quoted article in In other news today...:
I was partying at a club, and I took a Viagra before I went.
:but_why.gif:
I met a nurse, who I went home with, who ended up injecting an erection enhancer into my cock. I thought, why not, what could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go right?!?
Doctors also tried pushing a plastic nail down his urethra without anaesthetic, which Polaris says was “ten out of ten on the pain scale,” to no avail.
And right there that’s enough internet for today.

Looks like a real cutie:
Mr Bolsonaro recently came under fire after official data showed an increase in deforestation in the Amazon.
He then sacked the head of the agency that reported the increase, accusing it of lying about the problem's scale.
Scientists say the Amazon has suffered losses at an accelerated rate since Mr Bolsonaro took office in January, with policies that favour development over conservation.
Brazil's space agency data showed an 88% increase in deforestation in June compared with the same month a year ago.

"I mainly just wanted to drop a 0day before Defcon [a security conference]," Penner told us. "I do plan on reporting it, but the issue is more of a design flaw than an actual vulnerability, despite what it can do."
What a dumb fuckin idiot.
Where is the outrage that the vulnerability was NEVER disclosed to KDE before being disclosed to the public?
When a Google employee disclosed a Windows vulnerability after giving Microsoft 90 days to fix it, some people here were saying it was a bit of an ass move.

I have run into plenty, though usually in reverse. You can type in NULL as a string and it will convert it to null on the back end.

@Dragoon I bet they actually have his plate as null in the database, and a simple manual edit would fix all those tickets.
