An American Pickle stars Rogen as Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling laborer who immigrates to America in 1920 with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family. One day, while working at his factory job, he falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years. The brine preserves him perfectly and when he emerges in present day Brooklyn, he finds that he hasn’t aged a day. But when he seeks out his family, he is troubled to learn that his only surviving relative is his great-grandson Ben Greenbaum (also played by Rogen), a mild-mannered computer coder whom Herschel can’t even begin to understand.
Look at me Ben! I'm Pickle Herschel!

I see why they stopped him, he might fake stab someone. Someone has to think of the children.

They didn't arrest him.
Yeah yeah, fax machines and playing cards.

Well, they did come with guns at him. Could have at least showed the courtesy and carried just riot shields and maces.

The headline says "Tenant evicted after facebook post". And the link that lead me to the article said: "Tenant wrote revealing facebook post, landlord read it and evicted her!"
Which sounds bad. Being evicted for writing something on farceberk?
But, the article itself says that she had moved out of town and left the apartment to her father, who wasn't on the contract for renting it, which was a breach of contract. Her father then proceeded to not pay rent. There were 5 unpaid rents and 38 late rent payments. Which caused the landlord to go looking for a way to easily get rid of this tenant (and getting rid of tenants in Sweden is hard), when they came upon her facebook post about having moved out of town a fair while ago, and let her father live in the apartment instead. This was a clear breach of contract. And one of the few things that lets you end a contract for an apartment is that the signer of the contract isn't living there anymore. So, the contract was cancelled and her father evicted.
Not quite what the headline was hinting at.So, for all you uneducated foreigners here's the anglophone google transmutation:
Tenant is evicted after Facebook post
May 7 at 6:05 pm
Norrköping The woman told in social media that she rented out in the second place. Men posted on Facebook were also read by the landlord. Now she loses the apartment.The landlord found evidence of the illegal rental on facebook.
When four years ago the woman decided to move to Västervik, she retained her three room apartment in central Norrköping. Instead, she rented out the apartment until a long way off.
Men after the rental payments were delayed for a long time, the landlord began this fall to investigate who actually lived in the apartment. On the woman's Facebook page, the landlord found evidence of an illegal rental.
Read alsoCounters refuse to move - continue to blow home seekersThere she openly told us about the move and who had moved in, which was also confirmed in the general ledger about who was written at addresses. In order to rent out the apartment in the alternative, permission from the landlord is required, which the woman lacked.
The landlord terminated the agreement and contacted the rental committee. In addition to the woman illegally renting out the home, there were also five unpaid rents and 38 delayed rental payments. When the rental committee tried the termination, the woman did not show up.
The board decided to walk on the landlord's line and the woman now loses the housing.

As mentioned in the Lounge, we’ve been indirectly affected. And this was for crypto-shit mining?! Sigh
Can we ban that already? It’s only used for drugs anyway.What confuses me a bit is that the article links to a CVE it says was used to gain root once logged in, but the linked exploit description talks about “denial of service” and medium severity.

@PJH Those dolls look awfully young. If they were real people and I'd have to guess their age, I'd say 12-15.
...Or is it just me?In a statement, FC Seoul expressed sincere remorse over the controversy, but insisted they used mannequins, not sex dolls, to mimic a home crowd during its 1-0 win over Gwangju FC at the Seoul World Cup stadium.
Whew... It wasn't just me.
And I'm happy to know that even Koreans don't publicly produce underage sex dolls.

@Carnage Not that I have any personal knowledge, but I would think that accounting for shipping, storage and such, at the time of purchase they might be a few months old. If you bought one that was 18 years old, it might have deteriorated to the point it would no longer be inflatable.

I recommend not going to look if the dolls look like Asian women with hard to gauge age or children.

The attack was "sophisticated" the airline said
Translation: They found information on an unsecured, internet-accessable server. (Probably. TFA doesn't actually provide any information.) </snark>
EasyJet first became aware of the attack in January.
It told the BBC that it was only able to notify customers whose credit card details were stolen in early April.
Stolen credit card data included the three digital security code - known as the CVV number
I don't know much about the payment card industry, but I do know that even storing that number at all is .

@HardwareGeek Extra details via: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/05/19/easyjet_hack_9million_2000_credit_cards/
Professor Alan Woodward of the University of Surrey speculated about the digital break-in: "So either credit card details [were] not encrypted or it's Magecart again. Can't see why they'd leave only 2,000 cards unencrypted, so suggests Magecart."
Magecart...? Apparently some sort of online skimming package, sold on the black market:
