Making kraut is not the same as pickling which most people think of as putting in sterile jars in vinegar. Kraut is a live food. However real pickles should be fermented even if they rarely are.

Try adding a good quality sea salt to shredded cabbage to taste. Let the water be drawn from it for a good hour and then pack tightly into jars. Red cabbage is far more nutritious. Also try shredding some raw beets. Beets improve the speed of the ferment. Never eat commercial sauerkraut. Period. It's all pasteurized…

Gas mask allows multiple host files and switching plus you can link to host blocking files that are regularly updated that block connections to known bad sites.

Firstly if you are fortunate and live near an Apple retail store, make an appointment with a genius and plead your case. Be kind. Make sure your breath smells good and you look amiable. They will often just replace even outside the warranty. The second thing is be sure to look at the link above that tells you how to…

Great talk. Thanx for posting it. Trying to control and make the world perfect is our worst mistake not just as individuals but as a species.

I worked with it all day yesterday and find it was catching a lot of stuff Little Snitch was missing. Anyhow enjoy.

Yes. I bought it and imported my Little Snitch rules. I definitely recommend Hands Off! It's the best option on the Mac. Also, check out the free app Gas Mask for editing your host file to block malware sites from connecting. It's a beautiful little app. Donationware.

This is Buddhism 101. Remember Jobs was going to be a Buddhist monk but his teacher discouraged it. This is part of a 5 part daily reflection that reminds you that 1) you are subject to aging, 2) subject to illness, 3) subject to death, 4) you will eventually be separated from all that is dear to you, and 5) that you…

I think you missed his point. He's saying you should live every day knowing you will soon die. Think about that before posting about how you have less money than Jobs and therefore his view can't apply to your situation. It can. It's a basic daily reflection in Buddhism. Jobs is a Buddhist. Also, just because your…

I have bad news and good. Accomplishment doesn't matter when you're dead. I think you're missing the point of his quote entirely.

I did a bit of digging and found a 50% coupon for HO. Try fgjy45hs4j and get it for $12! Apparently it has a more robust feature set than Little Snitch allowing blocking on incoming connections, and other goodies. I've been using LS for a long time, but HO looks pretty cool.

Hands Off! seems to get good reviews on mac update. It seems Hands Off! has more features.

I would use even less.

In the place I do my laundry the machine only allows so much soap into it and the rest stays in the tray. So I find I have to bring a rag mop up the horrible smelling soap most people use and leave behind. That stuff is so toxic. Use nontoxic environmental soap instead. It doesn't actually cost more and works better.…

Better not deal with companies that only pick up sales calls and make you wait forever for support. Don't give give them your money. Once again Apple has this covered. Companies need to study Apple and learn. I love taking my gadget to the genius bar. No warranty needed to get an appointment, and you talk to a real…

Well the biggest use is as a web clipper. Install the web clipper for your browser and platform. Use it to grab whole web pages. On your phone you can send URL's by sending them to the address they give you. Very cool when browsing. Also copy some text from a web page and send the URL to Evernote and the paste the…

God please tell us how you were able to derive that disjunction in the final line from your observations. I think you mean to say they're only looking at the positives here and not considering some of the more unsavory aspects of this guy. I agree with you on that much.

This line about price is so tedious.

Funny.

It's true. They are long and thinnish.
