  • It is hard to shake people out of their ways of thinking.

    I try and apply monetary value, as people care about money.

    “Bro, Google sells your data and makes a ton of money off of what you’re giving away. Why you giving it away? You want to give me your drivers license to sell?”

    Also

    “You have a right to privacy. And you give up that right in exchange for email? Can I buy your vote for a cookie?”

    And this

    “You gotta pay like $1000 just to bid on buying your data to serve you ads. Can you afford to even see you own data being sold?”

    And

    “They only see what you give away for free. Are you some pervert that likes to be watched? Are you naked at home with the curtains open? No? You sure?”








  • The fried bird was crispy, so the bones were good and ready, the regular roast I threw in the oven under a broiler for a bit. Then just simmered them in water for a day. It’s better than an instant pot. The fried bird also had a lot of cajun spices and salt, so the flavors were already working there.

    Then the next morning I strained the broth, puled more meat off the bones and set that aside. Sauteed 5 carrots, 1 onion, garlic, and chili flakes in butter until brown, then added carrot tops, green onions, a lemon, some cabbage, ginger, chives, parsley, and all the bones on top. Then broth back in, topped up water, and that simmered for 8 hours and then strained. Bones by then are getting mushy and you can easily snap them by hand or mush the ends with your fingers. Added in soy, sake, mirin, a touch of rice vinegar, and some sriracha. Simmer for another 3 hours.

    When I’ve made it with all pork, it’s very funky and porky in a not pleasant way, except for the time I made it with BBQ rib bones. At this point I prefer half pork half chicken, and turkey did me well last year. This was even better, I think the fried bird helped.




  • You’re onto the right answer. At some point:

    1. the middle of the lory would be the center of gravity of the lory, and no longer have any grip on the road. Making it a space lory with the lower parts dragging in the atmosphere.

    2. the top of the lory would be so tall that if it was driving, the change in angle of a fraction of a degree would make the top of the lory travel faster than light to keep up. This might happen sooner than running into other stars. If the lorry is 1 light year tall and goes over bump that changes its angle by only 1 degree, the top of the lory would move 1.6 x 1011km within a few seconds. So the lory might sheer apart, or would sway like a skyscraper in wind with each molecule moving at the speed of light all over the place as the truck bumps around on a road where even minute variations would make the top move wildly.
