Years ago, a pedophile posted photos online with his face swirled, but police were able to unswirl it:

I have no idea who the guy in this photo is.

I did this, and it was great at first. Then I needed more socks, so I bought another batch. Then I had a mix of worn socks and brand new socks. They might look the same at first, but if you take a closer look, the older ones are a little lighter in color and the texture isn’t the same. I later bought a third batch. So now I have a mix of new, old, and really old socks. It actually takes more effort to match socks now than when I had many different socks.

I see this advice posted all the time, so I guess most people don’t care if their socks on each foot are a different level of worn, but it bothers me.

Yes, but you need Windows Professional to act as a server. Windows Home editions can only act as a client.

you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later

There are a few companies that want to accomplish that, but instead of using pressurized gas they want to use a miniature subway system.

For example: https://www.pipedreamlabs.co/

You time traveled to the Middle Ages to avoid cars? That’s dedication!

I was in a pilot state (Arizona), and I looked into it. It’s only for federal taxes. You need to file state taxes separately.

There are already several online tax solutions that offer free federal and charge for state.

Reminds me of a sculpture called “Karma”:

Why mess with cash and money laundering? Just create a large chunk of gold.

I’m pretty sure the serving PC needs to be Windows Professional, not Windows Home, so that might not work.

I can’t believe someone downvoted you for asking about the acronym.

I get frustrated when the title, body, and comments all use an acronym, but I can’t figure it out from context. Even more frustrating is when the linked article also doesn’t explain it.

Can you give an example of one? Last time I looked it seemed like all the major brands only had smart TV options. So I end up using streaming dongles on smart TVs to avoid the lag, but I would much rather just have dumb TVs.

I heard projectors don’t have any smart garbage. I might try that next time I need a new large TV.

It’s funny to use a Simpsons meme for this because in one episode, Homer finds Henry Kissinger’s glasses in the power plant toilet.

Yes, it’s profitable. They lose money on each sale, but make up for it in volume.

I got a decent motion-activated trail cam for around $50. It has no connectivity, so I need to occasionally transfer videos from the SD card. Works great.

Lol, that reminds me of Seinfeld’s taking vs. holding reservations joke:

You mean like electrolysis? That’s already in use, and has been in use for a very long time.

If you meant something new that doesn’t require a bunch of energy input, then yeah, that would great.

The show Top Gear did a bunch of these. For example:

My guess is it’s either from that show or something similar.

For those who don’t know, this is from senator Ted Stevens explaining how the internet works. Here is the audio:

I read that in Alex Trebek’s voice.

Why is increasing salinity of the ocean bad? Doesn’t that happen all the time on a much greater scale as ocean water evaporates into the atmosphere?
