Ea-nāṣir's revenge...

More like “strikes again” - Ea-nāṣir was the dodgy copper seller.

I believe that Ea-nāṣir is more well-known now than back then.

There are more people on HN than there were people in their entire civilization, so, yes.

Is "well known" an absolute quantity?

Don't worry, there's plenty of outrage to go around.

You'll find your answer in the second half of the sentence you quoted.

Not to be rude.

Not to be rude, but you let your passport in a laptop bag with an actual laptop inside in plain sight in a mall parking lot because it would be just a couple minutes?

You're not at fault here, the thieves are, of course. Stealing sucks, and they probably did not care about your passport at all, but still...

I've done the same in the past, leaving my passport and stuff in the car in places I thought were safe. I got lucky so far, but I'll try to remember I was just lucky and be more careful in the future. Thanks for sharing.

I worked for an audit firm at the time, and the 'security guidelines' at the time were "leave your laptop in the boot where it is not visible".

As I had just come from work and was going to an embassy, I had printed everything I needed and kept it conveniently together. It wasn't programmed into me to walk around with valuables at shopping centres where they could get stolen there, and I wouldn't have thought to keep the passport in my pocket separated from everything else.

I also think because the laptops had multiple layers of security, and had relatively low replacement values, merely checking that the boot and doors are locked felt sufficient.

I learnt a lesson though, I no longer keep valuables in the car. I even have the boot cover thing removed so people can see that there's nothing in there.

Sure, as long as you have a charged, working cell phone and can afford to pay for roadside assistance. If your phone died or your bank account is in the red, you're screwed.

Actual worst case, you're stuck on the side of the road god-knows-where, for god-knows-how-long, hoping that someone will drive by and have the decency to stop and help.

I think I'll buy a car with a spare tire.

IMO, Phoenix is stretching the definition of "livable"

This! I'm still using the original joycons I got with the switch. Any time I get joystick drift, I crack the joycon open and swap the joystick out. Takes five minutes and I'm immediately back to gaming. I bought a bunch of replacements off aliexpress a few years back, so each repair costs me less than a dollar.

I've discovered that referring to it as "LiGNUx" is a really good way to clear up ambiguity and annoy all of your coworkers.

This sounds dangerously close to "ligma" if you try to pronounce it.

Now you've added another one!!

The 'mouseover' hover text is absolutely brilliant on that one. :)
