[09:02] schestowitz[TR][09:02] schestowitz[TR]This isnt just any games console; its a dual-screen tabletop arcade that allows you to stare down your opponent as your on-screen alter ego Hadoukens them right in the face.

[09:03] schestowitz[TR][09:03] schestowitz[TR]This is a custom RC car created by Savall21 using a Tamiya TT-02 kit and a resin 3D-printed body shell.

[09:03] schestowitz[TR][09:03] schestowitz[TR]On a recent episode of Youre Wrong About, Sarah Marshall delivered a crisp summary of how the 24-hour news cycle came to be. This led me to realize that many among us do not remember when news was confined to time slots: the 7 oclock news, the 11 oclock news, the morning paper.

The piece went kind of nuts, way past 50K views as I write this, and a flood of comments here and on YCombinator, nearly all of which took the form of You left out my favorite font, which is X! So I harvested 14 values of X, and lets have a look at them! Ive enjoyed this little project enou [09:09] schestowitz[TR] gh to pay actual real money for three of these.

[10:18] schestowitz[TR][10:18] schestowitz[TR]What first looked like some CPU oddity in a monitoring graph became a full-fledged hunt for a bitcoin miner. Figuring out what happened and how they were operating is part of the investigation. Collecting evidence to make a case soon became akin to a detective story.
