when we stupidize our enemies, we lose sight of how to fight them

"and dangerous".

If you're locked in a room with a monkey with a machete - you may be smarter than the monkey, but you're not ignoring it.

I'm always surprised the pizza index works. There are over 20 restaurants inside the Pentagon, including a pizza place. It should be easy to make everyone order from those when something is happening

To be fair probably not a bad op sec idea. I'm sure if they made it a formal security idea, they would get funding for it. As long as the pizza doesn't go to waste.

They have like an extra 150 billion last year they are spending as we speak, with no guidelines on it, so they have plenty. This year they want to give them 1.5 trillion even, just incredible fiscal restraint form the responsible party of fiscal discipline!

What a joke, extracting money from the federal government is like the main reason for being of almost all of these lawmakers. Get in, sell out, extract all you can, accrue favors and bribes and what have you, get out. Then when out if they sell out well they can lobby, or run an institute, or any number of other corrupt positions that are part of paying off lawmakers to pay off monied interests.

my point is not to ignore the machete, but to not assume the monkey

"Thought about" and "might just" are two phrases middle aged white guys use when we want to talk big and then never follow through. I'd be shocked if he puts in one "fake" order, and highly doubt he'll be able to be consistent enough to throw off the tracker.

Or maybe they'll do one fake order the day before the real one and keep doing it like that, and the half-assing just means the pizza index predicts it one day earlier.

And what is he going to do with all of those "diversion" pizzas? Seems like that could be a good way to feed the hungry in DC: order a large and semirandom number of pizzas to the Pentagon every night, then distribute them to homeless shelters; on nights when you're planning or executing ops, just add to the order enough for your operation and pull them off of the pile before you redirect the r...

There was a tmnt toy back in the day that had a pizza cannon (I think it was the turtle van). I think tech might have caught up to that point by now to do it in real life.
