i couldn't figure out why nothing was open and how it got lighter while i was at the gym. it's 8am, not 8pm. when i thought i fucked up and woke up at night, i was actually up at the crack of dawn and done at the gym by 7am.

I actually changed my phone to 24 hour time because I've absolutely done that.

LOL, I've done that.

Feels good to know you're not going crazy, right? :giggle:
 
man, i just had the most confusing moment ever. i think everyone is ok and no one is mad. holy fuck. two direct message convos, a phone call, and a regular thread all scrambled in my head. i also think i wasted over an hour tying to piece it together.
 
it was sort of confusing to login here for the first time in a while and see this thread open on the front page. someone must have resurrected it from deep in the archives.
 
i go to a burrito place several times a week. my order is $7.99. king size chicken fajita burrito, no sour cream, add jalapeño. a steal in chicago. the burrito is crazy good.

i tip 51 cents via credit card receipt. it’s not waited. they dont bring your food out and you bus your own plate. the 51 cents is like throwing your change in the jar, which i’ve deemed appropriate for this scenario.

they know my order. they are nice. i love the place. they have been charging my credit card $8.99 instead of $8.50. over a period of months, almost a year. with increasing frequency.

add jalapeño is 50 cents according to the posted menu. the cashier and receipt do make no mention of this. i figured they consider it sour cream substitution. tip added, the signed receipt says $8.50.

the burrito is worth $8.99.

Saw some online stores selling loudpeakers that you are supposed to attach to a drone and then you can speak to a kind of a radio phone and your voice will be heard from that speaker at up to over 1000 meter distance. Instead of mounting that on a drone, you could actually use that as a communication method that hackers, rich gang stalkers and authorities will not eavesdrop (unless they're already following your Internet traffic when you're ordering that device).

I guess the signal from the radio phone to the speaker has to be encoded in some way to prevent other people's similar radio signals being heard from it. The communication frequency in the one I saw being sold somewhere was between 400 and 500 MHz.

No I'm actually serious about this, and I'm a bit over 40 years old (but I sometimes do play CoD or other shooter games). If you live in a country with population 60 times smaller than USA, it doesn't take much more than differ too much from the ordinary citizen and some people will "take justice in their own hands" and break into your net log files and telephone communication. And in my case it's just too radical views about personal freedom and especially about drug use.

Talking about old-fashioned radio technology, here's the Van Eck (Tempest) signal peak from my old Lenovo laptop at about 499 MHz when measured with the RF Explorer signal analyzer (with a crappy LCD screen) at either close distance touching the computer or some 20+ centimeters away. The signal intensity value is in logarithmic scale, which means that +8.0 dBv is significantly more than two times weaker than +16.5 dBv.

Dude, that's amazing! So you're either Dancho Danchev or Mike Frost, LOL.

Anyways thank you for providing that. Kind of scary.

Given your profile, you're not interested in using Signal (encryption application)? Kind of hard for peeps to tape your calls if they're encrypted, no?

Or maybe do a VPN/VOIP through some non-aligned country.

Hey there good looking.

I'm not sure what to talk about here. Have a recipe for some tiffin
150g butter (or margarine)
110g golden syrup
1tbsp rum
60g cocoa
200g shortbread (chopped)
75g raisins
75g hazelnuts
150g dark cooking chocolate

Line 18cmsq tin with greaseproof paper
Melt syrup & butter in pan
Add remaining ingredients (except chocolate) into bowl
Add syrup/butter and mix well
Chill in fridge
Once chilled top with melted chocolate
Cut into squares and enjoy 🤗

The details can vary but it's always a mess of biscuits/fruit/nuts held together with syrup and butter. You can change out the shortbread for any kind of biscuit you like. I've done it with gingernuts, bourbons and oreos. Sometimes I use macadamias instead of hazelnuts.

Got myself craving chocolate at midnight now.
