Does she ever try to hide things in your ear?

If you lose something shiny do you end up looking outside to see if she took it?

If I recall correctly in-air refueling was needed for all missions because the SR-71 couldn't take off with the tanks full.

Looks like they are scraping pages. That is, they open the website like any user, look at the page, throw out headers related links, etc, take the thing in bold as the title, some section as the body, then figure out each little section as a comment (this part indicates user name, that's a upvote count, that's the comment text, etc)

It's hard to tell this apart from a real user because they are opening the page like a real user. Reddit can try to figure out what their servers are and block them (difficult) or plain rate limit each IP to a number of pages a day (really dumb but if Elon did it Apex probably will too)

I wonder how long until they can get a drone or baloon airborne during a hurricane. It would be fun seeing it zoom around at 200 miles per hour carried by the wind and probably drive the point home just as well.

To add to this. Idiot pointy haired bosses always try to add technical solutions to avoid it, going as far as changing the transmission protocols or the connection to your tv (DRM HDCP whatevr) but it's only a feel good measure to bring in more gullible content producers.

Even if all their technical crap works, you just point your phones camera at the screen and record the video anyway.
