Is it a Felony to Tease the Order Box?

In the Simpsons episode “Secrets of a Successful Marriage” Homer gets a job teaching at the local civic center. On the way to his first day of class, he stops at the drive thru of Krusty Burger. When asked for his order, Homer said he had no time because he had a class to teach. The teenager working the drive thru informed...

If you are disrupting the business and you are told to leave, and you refuse, then that would be trespassing. There is no sane jurisdiction in which simply going to a drive thru without buying anything constitutes a crime.

This seems like common sense to me.

Except in a cartoon world where it’s happened so many times they made it a felony

The NSA isn’t the root of the problem, it’s the fact that data brokers are literal doxxing companies. Their sole purpose is to dox people for profit.

Unfortunately, stopping data brokers is just like stopping piracy, it’s almost impossible. As long as there is a single country where it’s legal then data brokers will continue to steal and sell personal data to whoever wants it.

It's disturbing how we as a society are okay with ad companies weaponsing psychology

So many people that take psychology courses end up working in the advertisement industry because that’s where the jobs are if you have a psychology degree. Very few people sit back and think about the implications of the scientific study of the mind being used by companies to distort peoples perceptions and make them buy...

Antarctic program probably chose Canada Goose because they gave a special discount in exchange for brand recognition.

I am a shareholder of Netflix. If they don’t make more profit this year the stock will go down and I will lose money.

I use some of the income from my Netflix stock to pay for my Netflix subscription.

Edit: looks like I just made 12% since this announcement came out!

Calm down, it’s just movie streaming. I didn’t invest in bioweapons.

Scrubbing it with 70% isopropyl alcohol might work.

If saturated fat is the most unhealthy part of cooking oils, then why don't we remove it?

I noticed that almost all types of cooking oil (vegetable oil, olive oil, peanut oil, etc) contain some saturated fat. Since saturated fat is known to be a contributor to heart disease, then could you simply remove the saturated fats from the oil to make it healthier?

nodsocket OP ,

According to this article, It is generally recognized that high saturated fat intake is associated with heart disease.

nodsocket OP ,

That could be true for meat and dairy industries but I fail to see how removing saturated fat would be a threat to Big Vegetable Oil.

nodsocket OP ,

It is generally recognized that high saturated fat consumption contributes to increases in LDL cholesterol. Trans fats are worse of course, but saturated fats in foods like hamburgers or ice cream are still a problem.

nodsocket OP ,

No, Olestra was a totally new compound that replaces fats. All I am suggesting is to separate the saturated fats and use the remaining oil.

nodsocket OP ,

I am not suggesting we add any additives, only to remove an existing fat from the mixture that makes up cooking oils.

nodsocket OP ,

Grease contains a large amount of saturated fat. As for ice cream, added sugars are unhealthy too, but since a lot of other unhealthy foods don’t contain sugar we know it isn’t the only cause.

nodsocket OP ,

You don’t think they could market it as a healthier oil and sell at a higher price?

nodsocket OP ,

Take a look at some of the studies saying saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease. They are usually comparing the high saturated fat group to a group eating low saturated fat. Then you have to ask, what are they replacing that saturated fat with?

Often times, the subjects in these studies end up replacing saturated fat with equally unhealthy foods, especially salt and sugar. It’s no surprise then that they didn’t find any correlation to heart disease.

You will also notice that when the researchers specifically replace saturated fat with healthier foods like complex carbs or unsaturated fats, that the correlation suddenly appears.

nodsocket OP ,

Finally, this perfectly answers the question I had. Thank you!

Adding to this: as soon as the water reaches 100° it rises from the pot as steam, carrying the heat away with it. It’s a similar reaction to what happens when you sweat. Hypothetically, if water had a higher boiling point then eventually it could get hot enough to burn the handle.

If you want to be very secure, host a VPN and don’t open any ports besides the VPN port. Then access anything as though you’re on LAN.

This is exactly why I’m pro surveillance. We need cameras on everything, everywhere 24/7 to catch these irresponsible people.

Make it into a router and access point. Connect your phone to the AP and use tcpdump to capture packets from your phone for a few minutes. Look through the packets with Wireshark and see how much data is being leaked.

Use it to make a webcam server. You could probably afford to plug in multiple webcams since it has USB 3. Great for checking on the home when you’re away.

Imagine if your self driving car refused to take you to certain areas due to government orders.

And then crashed into a motorcycle because self driving cars don’t work and you were supposed to be paying attention even though it’s marketed as self driving.

UK's O2 network is blocking duckdns.org domains

It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn’t working on my phone. It wasn’t until I went to duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence....
