All of the Nerdy Things!

I basically post anything that I find amusing, moving, extremely important, etc. So there's really no organization or system of what I reblog... =)

WARNING ABOUT A REALLY NASTY NEW VIRUS.

Meet CryptoLocker. It’s your worst nightmare. A lot of antivirus software, including the big names, cannot yet detect or stop it. If your computer gets it, CryptoLocker takes all your files hostage by encrypting them and giving you a certain amount of time to send a certain amount of money to the man behind the virus.

The encryption is very tidy, and so far seems uncrackable (well, crackable, but it might take a couple centuries). If you tamper with the virus itself, it will pretty much self-destruct and take everything with it. And the way the money is transferred, the dick programmer behind it all for the moment is pretty much uncatchable.

YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THIS VIRUS WITHOUT COMPLETELY WIPING YOUR COMPUTER. YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS PREVENTION AND PREPARATION.

Back up your computer to something like an external hard-drive, or even an internal hard-drive that you just take out and stuff away somewhere for safe keeping. Make sure your antivirus is up to date, avoid skeevy sites, and don’t open random emails. DO NOT download email attachments unless you know exactly what it is, because that seems to be how this is primarily being transmitted.

You can learn more about it here.

We’ve actually run into this at work. It’s extremely aggressive and a major fucking pain to get rid of. One of our guys got infected with it and even paid the company whatever fee they charge to decrypt the files, and due to “an error processing the first payment”, ended up double-charging him (no refunds, of course) and is virtually untrackable.

Literally fuck this guy with a cactus. Like, if you see him, offer to introduce him to your little cactus friend in a quite personal and intimate manner. This shit is FUCKING INEXCUSABLE.

Also, bulk up on your virus protection, limit your porn and illegal cartoon-watching and torrents to safe sites, DO NOT OPEN EMAIL ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU’RE EXPECTING THEM, and just be careful in general, cause this one is one of the nastiest viruses around.

I wouldn’t reblog a virus alert unless I was dead serious about how bad it is.

Mandatory reblog.

So the information in this is a little outdated. CryptoLocker CAN BE DEFEATED without just erasing everything on your hard drives or paying the ransom. CryptoLocker encrypts your files with a encryption that is unique to your computer, which sucks cause it made it hard to break. But long story short: A Dutch security firm now has a data base of keys and offers a free service HERE. You send them a encrypted file and your email and they’ll will then email you a decryption key along with a download link to our recovery program that can be used together with the decryption key to repair all encrypted files on your computer.  More Info on CryptoLocker here. Other Ransomware & Fake Antivirus removal guides can be found on this blokes channel  Also take this as a good reminder to back up important files.

Reblogging this good news!

This post has been all over my dash the past few days, it’s good to see someone found a way to help!

“Forget your goals and get a counselor.”

That is what my doctor told me when I came to her at 18 years old because I could not lose any weight despite my best efforts before she slammed the door in my face and left me crying in the room. 

I was 18 years old, approximately 170 pounds when I am only 5′5. My goals that she told me to forget? I wanted to be 150 pounds. I wanted to know why I wasn’t able to lose any weight after being on a certain medication. I was doing cardio. I was beginning to lift. I was eating the right amount…yet nothing worked. 

She did not offer any advise. She did not recommend going to see a nutritionist. She did not give me handouts on healthy living. She did not offer to check my thyroid or what was going on with my insulin levels. She told me to forget my goals and get a counselor. 

What kind of professional treats a person like this? After I switched doctors I found out that I was a pre-diabetic and my IBS-C was causing a lot of water retention due to my diet and I was eating foods that cause constipation. I had plateaued from doing the same exercises daily. There were a lot of reasons I was struggling to lose weight.

I’m now 143 pounds. So yeah, fuck you.

Y’all joke about it, but let me tell you a story: See, back in ‘94 (yeah, you youngins), our sociology teacher mentioned that today was the 25th anniversary of Sesame Street. And he proceeded to tell a story.

See, he was in kindergarten when Sesame Street first aired, and he saw the first episode, live, with his classmates. He described the experience of seeing this for the first time as incredible. The entire class loved it.

The next day, however, the teacher announced that they could no longer show it, due to some people upset that it showed interracial friendships, of kids of different ethnicities playing together. Keep in mind that this show was only two years after laws banning interracial marriages were overturned.

So yeah. They’ve been doing the right thing before many of us here were even alive.

His name is Pistachio, and he curls up next to my head every night and purrs as he falls asleep. He was a stray, and he definitely appreciates a forever home.

The bumblebee was officially added to the endangered species list.

 Please:

Go plant an organic flower native to wherever you are

Leave your “weeds” alone they probably aren’t hurting anything

Stop using/buying Roundup and all other insecticides, herbicides, pesticides. 

If you have a bee problem (which almost never happens) call a local beekeeper! They will remove them safely free of charge

Bumblebees usually nest underground and just wanna be left alone! They won’t hurt you. To prevent destroying their habit during hibernation, avoid mowing yards until April or May. If you do mow, raise the blades to the highest setting

Please save my fat clumsy fuzzy friends I love them and they’re very good pollinators.

Tampons are a “luxury item”

[gehayi]

Once I worked as an intern in the state capital. One of the representatives I worked for was this middle-aged guy. And he hated the tampon and napkin machines in the women’s bathrooms. Hated them. He insisted that they weren’t necessary.

I found out why after I’d been working there, oh, about a month. My period started suddenly, as it sometimes does, and I asked to excuse myself to go to the ladies’ room. He wanted to know why. I told him.

He started ranting about how lazy women were. How we wasted time. How we were so careless and unhygenic, and that there was no call for that. He finished by telling me that I certainly was NOT going to the ladies’ room and that I was just going to sit there and work. He finished this off with a decisive nod, as if I’d just been told and there could be no possible argument.

“If I don’t go,” I said in an overly patient tone, “the blood is going to soak through my pants, stain my new skirt that I just bought, and possibly get on this chair I’m sitting in. I need something to soak up the blood. That’s why I need to go to the bathroom.”

His face turned oatmeal-gray; an expression of pure horror spread across his face. He leaned forward and whispered, “Wait, you mean that if you don’t go, you’ll just keep on bleeding? I thought that women could turn it off any time that they wanted!”

I thought,  You have got to be kidding.

Several horrified whispers later, I learned that he wasn’t. He actually thought a) that women could shut down the menstrual cycle at will, b) that we essentially picked a week per month to spend more time in the bathroom, i.e. to goof off, and c) that napkins and tampons were sex toys paid for by Health and Human Services. I didn’t know the term then, but he believed that tampons were dildos. Which was why he and a good number of his friends considered them luxuries.

And that’s how, at twenty, I had to give a talk on menstruation to a middle-aged married state representative who was one of my bosses. American politics, ladies and gentlemen.
