The razor blade slot is one of the most quietly brilliant pieces of home engineering ever built, and the reason it looks insane is the exact reason it worked.

A 1903-style Gillette double-edge blade is carbon steel, weighs about a gram, and is thinner than a sheet of cardstock. It also stays sharp enough to open skin long after it's too dull to shave with. That made it almost impossible to throw out safely. It sliced through trash bags, cut the people sorting cans, and survived the backyard trash fires Americans used in the 1930s, then waited in the garden ash for a bare foot. Every disposal method lost to the blade.

So the wall became the container. Drop it in the slot, it falls into the stud bay, gone.

Here's the part that was actually smart. A cavity between two studs runs about 14 inches wide, 3.5 deep, 8 feet tall: roughly 4,800 cubic inches of dead space. A blade takes up around five-thousandths of that. Account for how blades pile instead of pack neatly and the void still swallows something like 80,000 of them. A man changing a blade every week or two fills it at a rate measured in centuries. He'd calculated, correctly, that he would die long before the wall did.

Then rust finished the job. Carbon steel blades oxidize and fuse into a single corroded mass on the bottom plate. Loose sharps turn into an inert brick. The pile actually gets safer as it ages.

It was the cheapest sharps disposal in America for fifty years. A free, effectively bottomless container whose contents rusted themselves harmless. The only failure mode was a future stranger with a sledgehammer.

Stainless steel ended it. Blades that lasted weeks meant far fewer to throw out, and by the 1970s the fully disposable plastic razor shoved the whole problem back into your trash can, where it sits unsolved today. The cartridge you tossed last month is in a landfill right now, still sharp.

The guy filling his wall with blades in 1955 had a better disposal system than you do.

For decades, a marmalade cat named Jock has always called Chartwell home.

When Winston Churchill's family transferred the estate to the National Trust, they requested that a marmalade cat with a white bib and four white socks should always live there in comfort, preserving a tradition dear to Churchill.

The request has been honored ever since. The current resident, Jock VII, is a rescue cat adopted in 2020 after being found as a kitten among 30 other cats living in poor conditions.

Today, he spends his days exploring the 80-acre estate, greeting visitors, and enjoying a life far removed from his difficult beginnings.

Some traditions preserve more than history..they also offer a second chance.

Wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is basically the lowest temperature air can cool to just through evaporation.

It matters because it shows how well the human body can actually cool itself by sweating. When humidity is high sweat does not evaporate properly so the body struggles to cool down.

[Abdulkadir | Cybersecurity @cyber_razz]

DO NOT touch that keyboard. This is one of the most dangerous attacks circulating right now.

This is called a ClickFix attack. It is not a CAPTCHA. It is not a verification step. It is a social engineering attack designed to make you execute malicious code on your own machine while believing you are proving you are human.

Here is exactly what happens if you follow those steps.

The fake page has already silently copied a malicious PowerShell command to your clipboard without you knowing. It happened the moment the page loaded. You did not click anything. You did not consent to anything. The clipboard was written to in the background by JavaScript running on the page.

When you press Win + R you open the Windows Run dialog. When you press Ctrl + V you paste that malicious command directly into it. When you press Run you execute it with your own permissions on your own machine. No exploit needed. No vulnerability needed. You did it yourself. Willingly. While thinking you were completing a CAPTCHA.

The payload varies. Researchers have documented ClickFix delivering infostealers, remote access trojans, and credential harvesters. The malware executes instantly and silently. By the time the Run dialog closes the damage is done.

The reason this attack works so well is threefold. The fake CAPTCHA looks visually identical to a real one. The instructions sound technical and therefore trustworthy. And critically, you are the one executing the command so endpoint security tools see a legitimate user action rather than an automated attack.

Real CAPTCHAs never ask you to open Run dialogs. Real CAPTCHAs never ask you to paste anything. Real CAPTCHAs never give you keyboard shortcuts.

If a webpage ever asks you to press Win + R for any reason, close the tab immediately.

This is the bit I don’t get. This was obvious from the start when the Luce got panned yet even the “professionals” on the cars and money podcast still call the Luce a disaster. Yet it’s isn’t and won’t be, and will likely fund future non BEV Ferrari models.

[Intern Pierre @internpierre]

Ferrari is about to make you pay a “Luce Tax.”

I have it on good authority they unveil the 12Cilindri MM (manual) tonight at Le Mans, limited to ~500 cars.

The catch? To buy one, you reportedly have to buy a Luce first.

Why that’s a problem 🧵 $RACE

Dodger, a clever ginger Cat from England

He became a local celebrity after his owner discovered he had been regularly riding public buses on his own sometimes even taking a 10 mile round trip. Drivers began recognizing him, offering him food, and even knowing exactly which stop to let him off at, while passengers happily let him curl up on their laps like a seasoned commuter

#Stellantis and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) have signed a MOU to explore collaboration opportunities in product development in the U.S.
By combining complementary strengths across product & technology development, we will create new synergies and deliver value for both organizations.

According to psychology some people will never reach out and speak to you again because they don't have the maturity to cope with the fact that they did you wrong and you didn't deserve it. Since they lack accountability, they will create a made-up narrative about you so they don't feel bad about themselves.
