  • In any fight, circumstances are king. You need far, far more variables defined in order to be able to answer this question, and even then it won’t be a certain outcome. Who has the element of surprise? What’s the age, weight, and sex of the tiger (and the wolves)? How recently have the tiger/wolves eaten? Does anyone slip on a banana peel during the encounter?

    Maybe we’re going about this wrong. Are you trying to make sure the tiger is dead or are you trying to use as few wolves as possible?




  • Sorry, no, water is not a mineral because it doesn’t have a characteristic crystalline structure, and if a dictionary says otherwise it’s wrong: https://geology.com/articles/water-mineral/

    However ice can be, if it forms naturally - the definition of mineral is:

    A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness.

    And yes, this means that if you grow a crystal like a diamond for example in a lab, technically it’s not a mineral (it’s just sparkling rock).

    weak passwords (user error) not really hacking

    If you need to cross a chasm, and someone rolls a boulder in that lets you get across, are you going to go into all the ways that it wasn’t really a bridge?

    Hacking is about making stuff do things outside is intended purpose. There are no prescriptions on how; hacking doesn’t gatekeep. If it works, it’s a hack. Convincing sometime to open the door for you is social engineering, for example.

    So, if someone uses/reuses weak passwords, it’s fair to say that’s an easy hack, but it’s still a hack.
