Gah! I missed that in step 5!

Yesterday, in light of recent hacks, I came across survela. You can check email addresses and credit cards based off your name. It pulled up my Adobe login, which of course has long since been changed, following Adobe's email notification. But it did not find any credit card info out there.

You missed our favorite cloud storage service: Tresorit (and of course, Spider Oak)!

I am an old man, I think. Long ago — as in over two decades ago — IKEA furniture actually did include wood glue in self-assembled furniture. Back then, most of the furniture used real wood veneer and not melamine.

At some sit downs, you get the pot. I finish the pot then request for more. I am a sponge!

That tea / coffee / soft drink issue obviously only applies to single-serving prices. Many places serve unlimited coffee, tea and soft drinks. I have been known to drink 5 cups of iced tea for $2.50 in one sitting.

Other people have told me that brute force would still take 7 years at 1000 tries per sec, so I really don't know who is correct.

Yep. As Wired noted, the brute force was only one half of the equation as a forensic tool was probably used to grab those backups — a tool specifically designed to steal your iCloud backups without anyone noticing.

I'm not a dog. But it's not right to say that I'm human, either.

Which all points to the difficulties of DIY.

You missed an important consideration: If the wall is sheathed in plywood, it might be a lateral brace and should not be touched.

I find that walking automatically turns on idle thinking, which, happens frequently since I had a dog.

It could have been, but VLT is a newcomer while laminate has been around for two decades.

Carpet tiles come with an integrated padding by nature, but they're not the thick, foam type so you'll never get a plush under foot feel like wool over pad.

My comments:

Cute, but by replacing the new tab page, accessing apps and my regularly used bookmarks are made monumentally more difficult to access, taking up even MORE time of the ever-shrinking time that I have left!

I haven't been at the hotel in over a decade, but back then it wasn't something I'd recommend to others. I noticed it was now a Clarion so maybe things have improved?

Surfrider Restaurant at Depoe Bay, in the middle of winter, gives you one of the best views of the Pacific Ocean, atop a medium sandstone cliff, from the comforts of a warm restaurant.

This was apparently for 2D. Nothing about volume, depth, drama, etc.

But what about the dirt under the car that is sitting on the CMU blocks?
