Old Man Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Last day to enter these three sweepstakes for Kindles preloaded with a dozen SF/Fantasy titles that I still wouldn't have time to read even though I'm sure they are awesome.

Letting Home Depot know which of there users having been shopping for yard supplies isn't exactly the same as putting complete browsing history of individual user on the auction block.

Badger Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 In response to the Feds repeal of FCC Internet Privacy Protections (thanks GOP) Minnesota goes for state issued protections. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2017/03/minnesota-senate-votes-58-9-pass-internet-privacy-protections-response-repeal-fcc-privacy-rules/ The pros? Yay! Can't sell Info! Can't refuse to provide service to those who won't sign off on sale of ISP information. The Cons? Does leave the door open for privacy to become a "product" we have to pay them to not sell. But, you're the one who can stop them, send your browser history to Paul Ryan, and assuming he doesn't do anything worse than gouge his own eyes out, he'll be all for realizing the foolishness of this.

The former is what Google and most other search engines already do, and the latter is what the EFF make it sound like is about to happen. One example and yes the least egregious, and also...kind of pedantic. And according to the EFF, the selling of our information *is* happening now as number five indicated. They just don't have any ISP or Cell Phone company to admit to it yet. The data collection engine is up and available. The FCC rules were going to put a stop to it. And even then the other 4 bullet points are still working against the public good. It's wrong when google does it and it's possible the never got a chance to be enacted protections would have affected that as well. oh and to your point they do mention the google angle: We’ve heard some arguments that is just what Google or Facebook do, but there’s a big difference. You can choose not to use Google or Facebook, and it’s easy to install free tools that block their tracking on other parts of the web. EFF even makes such a tool, called Privacy Badger! But changing ISPs or paying for a VPN is hard (and some people don’t have more than one choice of ISP). For more, see our post on busting three ISP privacy rollback myths.

Bazza Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Focused on the Internet of Things and utility smart meters. But just as relevant to the monitization of web browsing activity. Welcome to the Matrix. Resistance Is Futile. Artificial reality complete. Virtual reality is next. It turns out the deep state didn't need to control the Internet, it just needed to monitise its users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Would You Eat 3D Printed Cheese? Not sure how that will go. Do an experiment first. 1. Find a subject who is willing to try "a new brand" of cheese. 2. Have the test subject try the cheese. a. If the test subject doesn't like the cheese, don't eat it yourself. b. If test subject likes the cheese, offer more. 3. Wait for a while. a. If the test subject dies, don't eat the cheese. b. If the test subject lives, the cheese is probably okay. What?

My mother brought Egg McMuffins home for dinner tonight, pretty sure the "egg" part was from a 3D printer.

Ternaugh Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 If it's scrambled at a fast food restaurant, it's probably liquid eggs. Burger King's breakfast sandwiches use liquid eggs, but McDonald's usually uses a real fried egg on their Egg McMuffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 My favorite breakfast sandwich from McDonald's is the Steak, Egg, and Cheese Bagel. It's not served on the West Coast from what I can tell, and I'm unlikely to travel back to Maine any time soon. I also love their deep fried apple pies, but the last ones that I had were in New Zealand 10 years ago, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 What I miss are those boxes of awful dry chocolate chip cookies that McD's used to have. Cookies that were objectively terrible but if you were in a hurry or on a road trip they were awesome for some reason. Like vending machine burritos or Jack In The Box tacos--they barely qualify as food by the light of day but at two in the morning they're fine cuisine.

aylwin13 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yup, there was nothing like going to Naugles at 2:15am, after seeing Rocky Horror at the midnight movies, for an egg burrito smothered in red sauce and an order of fries. We'd go through the drive-thru and then sit on the hood of my Impala to eat. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hmm, well, I do tend to eat eggs for breakfast 2-3 times a week, and I always scramble them instead of fried, etc. And I do tend to break out the salt and pepper on them (well, no salt but I like liberal amounts of pepper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Eggs are one of two things I salt preemptively. Fried potatoes is the other. Everything else I taste first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I realize that the only thing I really salt regularly is turkey (Thanksgiving and a few other times a year). A couple other things that don't come to mind at the time (and don't eat often). Pepper to season eggs and other things has taken over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thing is, if you salt an egg too much before cooking it, it can affect the texture. I need to keep an eye on the salt/sodium when cooking due to the husband's Meniere's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
