Both Android and iOS randomize your MAC address by default for new connections, making tracking you this way impossible. The only thing these kiosks seem to be collecting is the number of devices in range, and based on signal strength and “dwell” time, whether somebody was close enough long enough to possibly actually…

It’s a fun car. I bought mine new and have been enjoying driving it for more than 20 years and 246K miles now!
Ah, so it was Tom Petty! Clearly that ship did not back down.
Mid-grade is an excellent choice for many modern turbo engines, if you want them to make the power they’re capable of instead of pulling a lot of ignition timing. It’s what I use in my Ford and Buick turbo fours. I only use premium in my SRT-4 (essentially the same engine as your PT Cruiser), but I’m running a…
When we lived in Dallas and our kids were little we went to Dinosaur Valley park. The water was low enough that day to see and wade to and walk in the dino footprints. It was kind of neat to do that. The sauropod ones are big, like, old-timey washtub sized. It’s been 25 years or more, but we all remember that little…
Google Messages has had a setting for a long time to “Show iPhone reactions as emoji”, but it doesn’t seem to be working currently, at least for me. I get the “Loved an image”-type things right now, too.
Reester Bunnies beat Reese’s eggs for me. The chocolate/peanut butter filling ratio is perfect, and the chocolate is slightly darker (so more bitter) and better quality than what’s used for Reese’s cups, eggs, etc.
I kinda enjoyed seeing him play a version of himself in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
I was going to suggest at least going somewhere with trees, but I’ve just realized there might not be trees in leaf yet in many places. One interesting thing to experience (and to photograph) is the masses of crescent-shaped shadows cast through the tree leaves before and after totality.
I think it’s not streaming yet. This is to buy the digital release, I’m sure available at Amazon, Apple, and all the other usual suspects.
That’s what does it for me, the balance. I find a Double Whopper Jr. to have a perfect ratio of ingredients, making it probably my favorite available fast food burger. A Quarter Pounder Deluxe with no cheese is very similar and also quite good. The beef is better, but it just doesn’t hit quite the same way as the…
I’ve been growing my own pineapple plants in the window by my desk for about 15 years. Admittedly you do only get a small new fruit every 2-3 years this way, but with them ripening on the plant, they’re some of the best pineapples you’ve ever tasted. I’ve also got another one blooming in a pot at home right now.…
I don’t dispute any of that. I was simply trying to counter the stupid person I replied to. The example I gave may not at all be the full picture, but it is accurate as far as it goes. According to the Tax Policy Institute, in 2020 an average couple would pay in about $680,000 and receive more than $1.2 million, or…
You’ve incorrect. While it is a tax (and no one really disputes that), a working married couple making average wages, retiring at 65, and living to an average age will get back approximately twice what they paid in. Why do you think there’s concern about the system running out of funds?
When I was a kid I remember the old service station across the street having something like this mounted on the wall. It was somehow involved in the installation of those hot patches, although I don’t remember exactly how.
The show is completely different from the books, mainly borrowing some ideas and names. However! It’s not a bad show, really. It introduces some interesting ideas of its own, and can pretty much stand on its own merits.
This reminds me of a hacking/puzzle type game I envisioned in the mid-80s, when I was just getting started as a programmer. It would ship on an apparently blank floppy, so your first task would be to undelete the files. Alas, I never got beyond the early planning stages with it.
I know it’s only been a few days since my last QOTD post like this, but again I have answer “mine”: a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 I bought new and am still daily driving at 246K+ miles. I try to take care of it. I was a quite bit older than the average SRT-4 driver when I got it, and I’m getting close to 60 now.
Whoo, that is a bit expensive, isn’t it? Almost 10 times what I’ve paid in the past for HPDEs at a road course. It does sound like a lot of fun, though. I’m beginning to think I may be getting too old for this kind of thing. :( My reflexes aren’t what they once were.
