You must be snobs.. I stopped buying "normal" cheese (e.g. Gouda, Emmentaler, Radamer etc.) (and cured meats too) when they went from $5.1/kg ($2.3/lb) to $7.7/kg ($3.5/lb) this year, as it is too high.. Instead, I prefer to buy more chuck steak for $4.7/kg ($2.1/lb), cheaper and more nutritive.. 1 kg potatoes, onion, and there is food for entire day for ~$3/day. Today will have also special soup soured (fermented rye starter) for $0.5/plate. And thinking about starting making such sour soup by myself to limit costs. Sourdough for sour soup: ps. Anyone here have a cow to borrow? We can also make some experimental cheese..

A slap in the face after a kiss, does it count as disconsent? #metoo Does "I am tired of reading crap on the Internet wrote by crackpots"? I am intellectually raped and molested every single day reading crap... #metoo

...necrophiles will require a medium (ghost busters?) after your confession..

@mistermack Silence! Watching Westworld S04E08! Have you watched season one of Westworld? ..you may be here, without or with, a reason, my little friend.. just to make amuse me.. or to piss me off..

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. Sounds like a conservative/extremist Christian condemnation of having sex (without which you wouldn't exist). But I was thinking more from the point of view of a pathogen that likes some friendly environment and dislikes another unfriendly one. In friendly one, in some cases, it's vaginal discharge, sperm or blood etc. Pathogen does not think. Doesn't analyze how he/she/it gets there. So it can get there without any sexual activity of the host body.. ps. So don't abuse sex toy dolls if you find one discarded.. Even if you are her type..

This depends on the survivability of the pathogen outside the host body.

@studiot Politicians in some countries have introduced legislation forcing/recommending/advising IT companies to introduce two-factor authentication, meaning that you (user of service) have to enter your phone number and receive an SMS to register and access your online account. If a hacker comes into possession of the IT company database, he/she will not only have your email, name and surname, but also your phone number. FB has leaked ~2.3 billion people's records already. Use Pegasus or Pegasus-like hole and get access to your phone. Check your mailbox and find out what bank account someone is using. Use a banking app to make a transfer or other operation on a bank account.. SMS with confirmation about the transfer will be sent to the same smartphone.. The bank will treat it as you would do it yourself. All communication between the smartphone and the bank's server will go through the smartphone, its IP and authorization data will be included. Complains about unauthorized operation will be ignored.. Studiot, I can call you in the middle of night. "Hello? Sensei Jesus speaking, Studiot".. What for Google needs your phone number? For nothing! What for YouTube needs your phone number? For nothing! What for Facebook needs your phone number? For nothing! What for Yahoo needs your phone number? For nothing! How do you know? https://www.google.com/search?q=booking.com+data+leak "12 Feb 2022 — A massive data breach has been uncovered, totaling in excess of 172 GB of data and affecting an estimated 19 million people."

@studiot How do you want to force criminals from using someone's address? Politicians have made enough s**t over the years with regulations like cookies, unsolicited mails, non-anonymous SIM cards, non-anonymous emails and online accounts, including private communication.. https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/facebook-gave-teens-private-messages-about-alleged-abortion-to-police/ "Facebook gave teen’s private messages about alleged abortion to Nebraska police" Did you see "Snowden" movie? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3774114/ All these regulations are a "hacker's heaven".. If a hacker reached top politicians, he would ask for the kind of legislation they have implemented, because it helps hackers..

@geordief Check the physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, the things in question i.e. white paint can be Titanium dioxide or Zinc oxide..

Sorry, I don't understand your statement.. What I described is the built-in hardware of the processor in the form of transistors and other electronic components. If engineers could do it with just logic gates, that I mentioned, then analyzing the inner workings of the processor will give you clues on how to do it yourself. Reverse engineer the most basic CPU internals and rewrite as mathematical equation.

CPU has internal flags, Z-Zero, N-Negative , to implement greater than, greater than or equal, equal, not-equal, less than or equal, and less than. It is done by fake subtraction (CMP instruction), which result is lost, just sets/clears CPU flags. If a-b == 0 then Z flag is set. If a-b != 0 then Z flag is cleared. If a>b then a-b is positive so N flag is cleared. If a<b then a-b is negative number therefore N flag is set. Z flag can be implemented as series of OR operators. n-th bit OR n-th-1 OR [....] OR 1st bit. N flag is the highest bit of the number with specified number of digits. 8 bits number has 7th bit sign, 16 bits number has 15th bit sign, 32 bits number has 31th bit sign etc.

Bitwise operators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation NOT, AND, NAND, XOR, OR. XNOR. (if you have AND and NOT, you can make NAND) (if you have OR and NOT, you can make NOR) (if you have XOR and constant %(1), you can make NOT) (and a couple similar equivalences) If you have bitwise operators, you can implement addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulo, and so on..

Gold jewelry is almost never made of 24 karat gold because it is too soft for things that have been worn.... https://www.google.com/search?q=24+karat+gold+as+it+is+too+soft There are 24k coatings.. with internal stuff made from something cheap..

An attack on Taiwan would be China committing suicide.. It is the largest net importer of food, oil and IP.. "China is already the world's largest importer of food. Since 2014, the country's grain imports have remained above 100 million tonnes. It imported 115.1 million tonnes of grain during the first 10 months of 2020, up 28.5 per cent from a year earlier." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_imports

At my old scrap yard they just used magnets. If something was attracted by a magnet, they classified it as non-stainless (3 times lower price than stainless). I told them it wasn't enough to classify, and they replied "we're not a lab"....

@Externet What guy described in the thread sounds like memory leakage.. One can make bug (intentionally if it is hacker attack, or most likely unintentionally) in JavaScript code that any web browser will suffer the same.. Closing page and/or web browser will help. Write bash scrip which checks firefox process memory usage and warns after exceeding some limit..

If you know the hostname of the ad server (this can be checked with e.g. Wireshark, or web browser developer tools), you can edit the hosts file (in Windows in %WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc ) and add a fake entry that will point to e.g. localhost, which will fool the DNS routines and the web browser.. it will try to load a different page than it should and fail.. (such a handmade ad-blocker that works with any OS).

Identify that it is a web-browser at all by shutting down web-browser. If it is indeed a web-browser, majority of websites these days use AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming) i.e. when you load website, it starts Javascript program, which can run in the background, and reloads parts or all of the website, typically to reload ads after a while, so user see new content.. Ads in these days are MP4 x264 videos, so they are heavy data, either for Internet connection (precious, if you're on metered limited like 2G/3G/LTE/5G) and for CPU/GPU (if I am making Hotspot from my smartphone (metered LTE), and share it with Windows/PC, and leave it all day long, it can download 0.5-1 GB of trash) AJAX is used whenever parallel reload of website is required i.e. Google Maps use it to load map when you drag mouse pointer.. FB/Instagram/GMail use it when you use mouse wheel, to load off-screen elements. Identify that it is a web-browser at all by shutting down web-browser. Cookies have nothing to do with it. They are information sent by website to user-client web-browser, and user-client web-browser sends them back to website, when user visits the same website again (or they can go with AJAX request) Use Wireshark to identify what information is being sent by applications or OS. https://www.google.com/search?q=Wireshark Whoever ordered the ad does not know it, does not see it. The client of the advertising company receives information about how many people have viewed and/or clicked on the ad. Such an "invisible ad" adds to the un-clicked one, giving the impression that someone viewed it anyway..

Hilariously, you use words whose meaning you don't know.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics "Today, ideologies such as social liberalism are considered to be centre-left, while the Left is typically reserved for anti-capitalist movements, namely socialism,[8] including anarchism, communism, the labour movement, Marxism, social democracy and syndicalism" ..and in another thread, you seemed to like the idea of (communist, i.e. far-left) China annexing/attacking (republican) China (aka "Taiwan").. If you fight with the Left, as you claim, or believe in so, you should rather support non-communistic (i.e. not far-Left) Taiwan..

I suggest learning more about the history.. "The official name of the country (Taiwan) in English is the "Republic of China" (ROC); it has also been known under various names throughout its existence. Shortly after the ROC's establishment in 1912, while it was still located on the Chinese mainland," "During the 1950s and 1960s, after the ROC government had withdrawn to Taiwan upon losing the Chinese Civil War, it was commonly referred to as "Nationalist China" (or "Free China") to differentiate it from "Communist China" (or "Red China")." "The Republic of China, which had overthrown the Qing in 1911, took control of Taiwan on behalf of the Allies of World War II following the surrender of Japan in 1945. The resumption of the Chinese Civil War resulted in the ROC's loss of mainland China to forces of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and consequent retreat to Taiwan in 1949. Its effective jurisdiction has since been limited to Taiwan and smaller islands. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan "The Communists gained control of mainland China and established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the leadership of the Republic of China to retreat to the island of Taiwan.[9] Starting in the 1950s, a lasting political and military standoff between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has ensued, with the ROC in Taiwan and the PRC in mainland China both officially claiming to be the legitimate government of all China. After the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis, both tacitly ceased fire in 1979; however, no armistice or peace treaty has ever been signed.[10]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Civil_War IOW, Chinese politicians (republicans) who overthrown monarchy (1911-12), established republic government in China (i.e. China mainland and Taiwan island).. Communist guerrillas overthrew them in mainland China ('50-'60), but republicans fled to the last place they had - the island of Taiwan, where they still reside today. Why do you gave more right for Chinese Communist Party, than to Republic of China party?

C'mon guys. We are on a scientific forum. If he has doubts about the photographs delivered by the Apollo 11 team, then you should ask him what is wrong with them.. analyze photo by photo, issue by issue.. Let's keep the discussion at a high level, not at the level of preschoolers in the sandbox who one shouts "yes", the other shouts "no", without any serious arguments.. Let's learn in detail about his arguments against the moon landing..

...I don't recall prays for highways, water collection, storage and distribution facilities.. at least not in enough amount, to take care of it.. Pray more the next time.. (..and I will tell you how to build super cool highway..) Happy mortal.. ?

IOW, people were twice time screwed/cheated.. but that was 20-25 years ago when they made tax for highways, so nobody remembers.. ...expect taxes for it.. ?

Politicians, in democratic countries, as long as they are sane, will only do what gets them elected in the next election (if they are not pushed by the influence of third countries, sponsors of the campaigns, secret services etc. ).. This is why it is so difficult to move away from the use of fossil fuels in countries or states where any mention of a "green revolution" triggers immediate opposition from people and their families who work in the industry.. Are not you, or US, in capitalistic country.. ? In such country, the only project which will be made are the one which earns money.. Highways that are paid for? Here there is a tax included in the price of fuel to cover the cost of building highways.. When they built them, after a dozen years or so, highways are not free.. You can have a cheaper airplane ticket to the other side of the country than paying all the highway bills trying to get there by car! Without the cost of fuel in the car included..
