    If I had to choose a method, it would involve an authentication site - one it would have its security validated by a trusted entity and guarantee that you will be fully compensated should they be hacked. Even better if that’s backed up by a large insurance policy.

    You verify your identity with them. Then they verify information requested by other sites. The risk of hacking is minimized to that one company. They should collect your IP and information about your browser, operating system, and hardware. Then issue you a cookie stored on your browser.

    Subsequently, when you use a website that needs to verify your age, they read your identification cookie and validate it with the identification company, asking if you are of majority age and providing the information they collected. The identification company gives a yes or no response. They do not give out any other information about you, preserving your privacy. As long as you are using the same computer on the same IP you don’t have to revalidate. A hacker would need access to your computer if they wanted to impersonate you.

    The air fryer is my #1 used appliance. I used to throw out leftover french fries, but 4 minutes in the air fryer gets them hot and crispy again. Same thing with leftover fried chicken or a steak.

    I liked it so much I bought a larger version that can cook a frozen pizza. Now the oven only gets used for the holiday cooking - ham, turkey, and big casserole dishes. And having two air fryers means I can easily do fish and chips for the family.

    Only if Microsoft acquires a major CPU chipmaker. There has to be a lot of vertical integration under one company, the way it is with Apple products. Otherwise there are other OS like Linux that comprise enough of the market to ensure there will always be an unlocked BIOS option.



  • So are you going to fight the citation? Better have lots of pictures with botanical data on all the plants growing in your lawn. Seems the key element here is the legal definition of a prohibited weed. If you go to trial, give the officer some rope and see if he’ll hang himself. Ask if he’s an expert on identifying weeds. If not, how does he know your yard had weeds? Otherwise pursue his qualifications. What training is he relying on to identify weeds. Make him define a weed. If it’s substantially different from your legal definition, ask whether he’s aware of the legal definition. Introduce the legal definition and have him read it. Then ask if in light of his newly acquired knowledge, does he still maintain that your yard had weeds. If not, citation dismissed.










  • Start by defining your available power. How many watt-hours can you generate? A small 100W solar panel can provide an average of 400Wh of energy per day in the winter. That’s more than enough to run a 10-inch tablet 24/7 and LED lighting at night. I’ve seen 360W solar panels for under $100 on the used market. That’s a couple of KWh a day. Even a 100W bicycle generator and a 30 minute workout would power a tablet for 8 hours.

    If power consumption is that big of a factor, perhaps separate devices for video, music, and reading would be beneficial. A dedicated music player can consume less than a watt. An e-paper reader requires fractions of a watt.

    I have a folding 100W panel, a 30Ah 12V LiFePO4 battery, and a charge controller that I use while car camping. It keeps all the electronics running for a group of 4 without relying on a noisy generator. The battery is big enough to compensate for a couple of rainy days.

    My backpacking setup is a 15W panel and a 30Wh battery. That kept my phone and flashlight charged for 2 weeks on the Pacific Crest Trail.

    You’ve got more than three. There’s the A-hole, P-hole, V-hole, M-hole, two N-holes, and two E-holes. Then there are the manufactured holes: two H-holes when you make a fist, a TT-hole if you squeeze them together, a BB-hole if you’re on the heavy side, and two T-holes for those with foot fetishes. There are up to 3 bonus holes if you have one or more of the various medical stoma, and two extra bonus holes if you’re blind and have prosthetic eyes.

    But you can get by with only one if you tie those sausages together end-to-end.
