A chillingly moving article that reminds me of what is important in life... to want to spend time with those I love that still live, and to remember those that don't. As an aside- I'm also an academic and resent this sudden nonsen

I’m into classic European cars and am horrified by the people replacing high end vintage german head units that integrate with the rest of the car, e.g. speed sensitive volume for shitty alibaba touch screens.

Unsaturated oils are less chemically stable, they oxidize quickly

Yes, as I already said that requires buying 2 months service which will be somewhere between $15-30 total, but Tracfone is a good carrier on the Verizon network with no contracts and incredibly low prices- so it's somewhat hard for me

I’ve never worked in a restaurant and don’t know how long they keep their oil for. However, I used to engineer commercial biodiesel plants, and am very familiar with exactly how rancid, oxidized, and contaminated with solids used oil from r

This is not true- those are prices from prepaid “burner” plans with no contracts. If you prepay for 2 months service the phone is then completely unlocked. These carriers are a good deal anyways and many are actually the Verizon network, bu

Yes- right now on the Tracfone website I see an iPhone SE3 for $189, and single month prepaid rates of $15/mo so that would be $219 total. I'd imagine you have to really wait out the 2 months of service also before the unlock trig

by _yb2s 2y ago
I already answered that- your best deal to get an unlocked phone is to buy a locked one and pay out the 2 months service to unlock it. So add about $20-30 to the price, which still gets you a new iPhone free and clear for about $200. The th

If they told me the SE was the premium phone and cost more, I would still consider it- I just like the design a lot more, however I wish they would bring back the even smaller SE1 form factor. I'm not watching movies or playing games-

What loan? That was a cash price for the phone connected to the month-to-month prepaid carrier I already used anyways because they had a very low monthly price with no contracts... and after just 60 days it is unlocked and can be used on an

I intentionally used the words "very long" instead of an exact time specifically to avoid pedantic replies along the lines of "no not actually that long but slightly shorter" because my point was that cooking oil, like r

iPhones don't need to be expensive, you can get new iPhones quite cheap. I paid about $100 for a brand new iPhone SE2 through a budget prepaid carrier with a projected support life of 8 years from when I bought it 2 years ago- a fairly

Why not just a $100 iPhone? That's about what I paid for my brand new iPhone SE2 from a budget pre-paid carrier a few years ago... right now you can get a brand new SE3 on the TracFone website for $189. Spec wise it's basically an

It appears that in practice this isn't implemented well and there are tools like Wireshark that let you intercept data from other users on WPA.

Indeed there is- beef tallow is a common cooking oil and oar lubricant, and the supplier I buy my oar lubricant from does also sell food grade tallow, but it is unclear how or if it differs from the marine grade one "apparently, safely

I think this is going to depend on the quality of the restaurant and any regulations they're subject to... in any case a week of restaurant use is probably equivalent to a person at home reusing the same oil for years
797.
by _yb2s 2y ago
I doubt the rosin is more reusable than cooking oil. Restaurants often reuse the same fry oil for very long periods of time.

I'm not sure about you, but "can't find evidence it is particularly dangerous" is not exactly the standard of evidence I want when deciding to consume something that isn't normally a food item. I have a tub of oar l

This is interesting history, but I am skeptical that this is safe to eat, or better than a regular potato. If people are interested in trying unusual potato cooking methods, I'd recommend making Syracuse Salt Potatoes instead- they are

I’m pretty convinced the whole field of dentistry is BS. I’ve had a bunch of times where they said I had a massive problem needing lots of expensive work- one dentist said I had 22 cavities that needed filling. I have simply never done any

This can be done for free by just beaching the boat and working during low tide. Although that can be illegal nowadays in some places. Plus a 40 foot boat is much larger than required for cruising anywhere you want- if your boat fits on a t

I very well may be wrong, but if so you are not aware of how, and I will need to find someone else to explain it to me. I’ve been interested for a while in having a serious debate with someone that understands and advocates for the position

You are operating on a false dichotomy that the current best practices of cryptographic security, code auditing, etc. are somehow mutually exclusive with obscurity, and then arguing against obscurity by arguing for other good practices. The

You are begging the question- insisting that obscurity isn't security by definition, instead of actually discussing it's strength and weaknesses. I didn't "say so"- I gave specific real world examples, and explained

It seems like people are really talking about different things with obscurity. Some are referring to badly designed weak systems, where secrecy and marketing hype is used to attempt to conceal the flaws. Others, like my comment above, are t

As a scientist, I don’t think there is any specific scientific method or protocol - other than something really general like “think of all the ways people have been deceived in the past and carefully avoid them.” Almost no modern research f
