Ah, yes, hahaha, I was so confused!

Yea, I just blow on it in the shower. Problem solved.

Wait, egg washing?

Have you seen the books?

I know someone in a place like this, and to move there they essentially sell any property they have to buy their space in the facility.

It's not cheap, but these places also provide on-site medical facilities with trained staff so someone 65 having a stroke has a decent chance of being OK.

62 is first year of social security eligibility.

So you have nothing to hide, eh?

Read more here.

These tvs, like smartphones, track lots of stuff. And the databases they feed make all sorts of inferences.

They even scan what you're watching from other sources and can determine what show it is, and report that info too.

They know when you're home and leave, to some extent.

I've read of patents for wifi tech in tvs that will connect to other TVs of the same brand for a connection if you don't set one up.

They definitely use their own DNS, and probably have some hard coded IPs so you can't block them phoning home via DNS (I've tested this myself). I can see this traffic even when I setup DNS blocks - they still hit the vendor's service IPs (looking at you, Samsung).

These companies are openly antagonistic and adversarial to us, and you "have nothing to hide"?

God I hate compressed file support in explorer.

I even disable zip support. Let me use my own app for that.

Yea, from what I've read attractive folks hold our attention better, and attractive women do more so, for both men and women.

Something in the way we're wired.

Wow, I never made that connection

And we already do this - every culture has a form, some more ingrained than others.

During WWII (and the Cold War), Allied analysts, spies and diplomats found learning Russian particularly difficult for just this reason.
