For what its worth, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) which is currently applied by default for nearly everything on the internet is the standard for a reason. A brute force attack (trying all combinations to find the right one) is... Impossible, with todays technology. The selection for AES was started in 2001 by the NSA, and in 2003, the Rjindael cipher was selected and it still remains the AES to this day.

As far as I know, several different attacks and methods have been found through cryptanalysis, the best of which was found in 2011. Named the "Biclique"-attack, it was further optimized in 2013.

Now heres the real kicker: there are generally three kinds of AES in use, all with slightly different designs depending on the size of the key used to encrypt (secret key/initial state, the key an attack is trying to find) These are AES-128, 192 and 256.

So using the most efficient attack that is publicly known, how long would it theoretically take to break one single instance of 128 (the simplest one)? Optimally, about 9007 Terabytes of storage is needed (down from the original version of the attack needing 38 TRILLION Terabytes) The time complexity remains the same, despite this improvement, at 2^126. (Simplified, theres some technicality involved here)

What this all means, TL; DR: The simplest form of AES in use (AES-128) would take billions of years to crack, taking ~ 2^126 operations to do so, requiring OVER 9000 terabytes of storage while executing.

As far as we can tell, AES is set to remain the standard until quantum computing comes far enough to actually be useful in Cryptanalysis (meaning we can actually extract the result of our computations, something we are unable to do today)

Apparently the restaurants that YOU think are fancy in your area like jazz.

High cost “fancy” restaurants do not all play jazz.

For example just last night I was at the Waffle House and the cook had on Rob Zombie’s American Made Music to Strip By.

The waffles were five star.

Historically it's a matter of power. The same way colonization generally works. Those that submit to the forced religion are given privilege and power, especially access to food and medicine. Then it's perpetuated by giving them power specifically over others, and in order to maintain that power they have to demonstrate adherence and conversion of others. It leads to class-based stratification and a superiority complex, which leads to buying into the religion, if only to maintain that power and privilege and to justify their actions against their own people.

There's also the good old fashioned death penalty and forced indoctrination of the young.

I'm genuinely surprised. No widely spread pickled pearl onions or pickled corn cobs over there? No giardiniera?

Pickled eggs and pickled pig's feet are other regional ones.

and there is no way they can give you a quote over the phone, the bill will arrive in a month and be 10X of what you expected but with a 70% insurance "discount"

I have never heard that in my life

They specifically said "if it turns hard, like a fighter jet" while the ball is "in mid air"

I disagree to this, could you provide a source? My definition of pickle is to prevent any fermentation and bacteria development, while fermenting is to preserve food with a specific type of bacteria/yeast.

Edit: their are many types of salt brine fermentations, like soy sauce, but wouldn't call that pickled either.

So, the goal is to love people to the point of saying “I need you,” but not meaning it literally.

If someone just said "pickle", then I'm 100% picturing Branston Pickle, not a gherkin or pickled onion.

They have a different flavor too, use them for potato/egg salad for example

They have a different sweeter flavor, I’ll even eat em straight from the jar unlike almost all larger/deli pickles

Yes, exactly. It's a specific type of pickles

They don’t have to. They just need to act like they do or get killed. And teaching your kids the old religion would see them get executed so you don’t teach it to them. Your kids only get instructed with the new religion so within a generation or two, the old religion dies out.

As far as I have seen the US system is one of the most expensive but doesn’t , overall, have better results than countries with universal health care. I’d say it’s perhaps better for the rich but then they can still go private in other countries anyway.

Also keep in mind that ancient religions don't always match cleanly with what we expect out of modern ones.

Especially the idea of deific exclusivity. If you have always believed that your gods and your neighbors gods are different and war with one another just like you and your neighbors do, then maybe they lost along with you.

Plenty of stories about gods dying, probably feels better that your gods died trying to save you than ran off and abandoned you.

Just one speculative example, but no one today would assume that a personal problem is because their religion got annihilated, maybe not so much with all the numerous past belief systems.

It only comes up if you search it through the google method you posted though. If you just go onto woolworths site and search cornichons it yields zero results. The probably sold it once upon a time but have since deleted it. Probably because no one wanted to pay cornichon prices for pickles

Corn ketchup

Jam?

I said "Not in defense of"... For the record, I'm not a fan of Ticketmaster but I understand why they do some of the unpopular things they do.
