bionicjoey , to piracy in Probably my first piracy experience (it was great)

So I’ve heard of this a bit before but never really got it. Is the idea that the cable could access all of the channels, but the box had some sort of DRM on it that prevented it from actually tuning into those channels?

moody ,

You could tune in to any channel you wanted, but the ones you weren’t subscribed to would be scrambled. These boxes would unscramble the signal letting you watch paid content for free.

bionicjoey ,

Goes to show that security through obscurity is no security at all.

I remember before scrambling they just put blocks that prevented you from going to certain channels. I somehow figured out if you ran the cable box through the VCR first and put it on channel 2 while the TV was still on 3, it would shift all the channels down one. Cinemax was channel 14, which our box just would not go to. But it would go to 13, so doing my little trick teenage me got to watch a lot of skinamax.

If you have a metal bowl that you no longer need, you can put a roll of toilet paper in there and then douse the whole thing in cooling oil.

Once ignited you will have a stinky lamp, so I would only recommend doing this outside.

The obvious issue is that it is like taking candy from a baby. They are not developed enough to defend themselves. 😁

Not that i was gonna track them down, but blurring the license plate seems ironic in this case.

It’s a lot easier to track someone down by their license plate than their bumper stickers.

Duamerthrax , (edited )

It’s also a lot easier to falsely report the car for a crime with the plate number. Far too many people are bored online and I would be terrified of a couple thousand seeing my truck and plate numbers.

GroundedGator ,

Sadly I can say this is not the first time I’ve seen the bang local milfs decal, and that does not appear to be a Florida plate.

FlaminGoku ,

It’s not that sad. I feel like that’s a pretty general consensus.

I am pro banging local milves

I can almost guarantee it is a standard Michigan plate. The tag should expire this year

I like drawings of flowers as well, I understand this is popular among Yakuza, and I have my own supply of JNCOs. That’s it, I’m joining the Yakuza.

frickineh ,

Wait are JNCOs a part of it? I could be convinced if they are. They’re so stupid looking but I loved mine.

I was on the fence until now. JNCO’s, old Tool, and crime? I’m back in my glory days.

I feel like this would be hella similar to a good ginger ale.

Melkath ,

You equate ginger to garlic?

I mean, I see the similarity, as they are both aromatics, but they are VERY different aromas...

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I’m thinking more about the spicy bite than the flavor.

bdonvr ,

Pepsi 1893 Ginger Cola is the greatest soda known to human kind and I am absolutely devastated by the fact that I can’t get it anymore.

I like ginger so strong my nose burns thanks

@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

If you like ginger beer, Bundaberg is pretty damn good if you can find it. Costco used to carry it, but I haven’t looked lately.

If you want super strong, Fever-Tree was actually too much for me. It’s a good mixer though for mules if you really want the flavor to come through.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Never heard of it but according to Wikipedia it’s just Pepsi mixed with Ginger Ale, so it’s not like it would be impossible to reproduce with a little extra effort unless you simply HAVE to drink it right out of the can.

deranger ,

Fever tree is great strong ginger tonic. Check it out, it’s quite spicy.
