Sometimes you want to go

We need something similar to the Benson-approved UBC-C cables to guarantee that random home webcam on Amazon is not a poorly-secured POS from China with a hard-coded root password that will become a botnet shortly after being connected.

Look into Indian food. They make an assload of vegetarian dishes (mostly because the vast majority are too poor to eat meat regularly) that still taste amazing due to the plethora of spices.

Usually this recipe that I stole out of an Alton Brown cookbook:

Hi Thorin,

So, speaking of non-apologies, LH...

Have you looked at the Amazon reviews? I know it has 4* overall, but just look at all the recent and Top Customer Reviews. Every single one is one star.

I’m unclear on the title. Are you saying that I am ruining my food by cooking with whatever wine I have on-hand, or that the solution to my ruined food is to use whatever wine I have on-hand?

I’d be hesitant to buy any internet-connected camera without someone having conducted a thorough security review to guarantee that it won’t become part of an IOT botnet.

EDIT: I see that you’re asking about “auditing” your VPN. My response was simply to ensure that your VPN is always on when you browse. Keeping it up anyway.

I did call my representative, and my senator, about voting NO to repeal the ISP privacy protections. They voted NO, as I requested.

That PPTP sucks is a bummer, because if you manage to find one of the few VPNs that officially support Chromebooks, it’s typically the only option offered.

How successful the campaigns were is irrelevant. It got to a point where I got several calls a day from these asshats on my personal cell phone. They would periodically hit my company phone as well, which I’m required to answer since it’s an emergency line. I know they’re fake, there’s no way in hell I’m going to send…

Nice fucking going, IRS. You took the one given we had with the robocalls—that they were 100% fake, no exceptions—and have now given them possible legitimacy.

Ehh...different strokes, I suppose. I’d much prefer to simply have a higher capacity battery (a la the PowerCore+) and a dedicated wall charger or strip. I’ve personally had great luck with something like this with its integrated USB slots for when I need to charge stuff.

5,000 is a bit low compared to some of the other offerings in the PowerCore lineup. Lack of Quick Charge weakens it, too.

My thought is maybe the pan was crowded and so the liquids that the asparagus released just pooled at the bottom.

Pure balsamic is too much, I agree. I generally whisk a splash balsamic into a few tablespoons olive oil before tossing. Mellows it out and ensures better coverage.

I am horrified that the list does not include a slow dry-heat method, i.e. roasting. Roasting makes vegetables delicious. I did not eat my veggies until embarrassingly late in life because I had no idea how to make them not taste terrible. Then I got access to a toaster oven and found that many veggies have their own…

What do you recommend as far as a backup solution to prevent against bit-rot? As in, if one of the files I’m backing up suddenly decays, how would I stop that from propagating to my backups?
