    Sudden Influx of (probable) SPAM

    Doc, I get this sinking feeling when these spam messages start to appear. It is like I am waiting for the tidal wave.

    What sort of Internet do you want?

    Goldfish aren't political. And if they were, they would forget who they voted for the next time around the bowl. Mind you, there is only one of them in their goldfish bowl ecosystem so their one vote would count! :eek::p:ROFLMAO:

    There are many ways to skin a cat, but this is my way: 1. Read pdf (or physical book), highlighting as I go. 2. Periodically add these highlights to a Supermemo Topic. How? Create subtopic for book. e.g. Chapter 1. Create subtopic from there and paste in sentence. 3. Cloze delete the sentence...

    What sort of Internet do you want?

    I personally think the internet should be a free-for-all. Show anything! Some exceptions like child porn, but you get the idea. Anything else is social engineering by third parties who have their own political agenda. Leave politics out of it!

    Area 51 - are we the aliens?

    What about after Elon Musk has sent his spaceship to Mars, complete with crew? They may encounter giant carnivorous naked mole rats, who capture and eat the crew. Perhaps there is always an element of vulnerability once you enter an alien habitat.

    Area 51 - are we the aliens?

    Is Area 51 a time-loop experiment? Perhaps our future-selves have come back in time, visiting our current-selves. Yet their appearance mimics the arrival of aliens. They have eyes like us, but thin long necks with a similarity to E.T. ("goes home"). But this is misleading. They are in fact a...

    Should my mobile phone outlive me?

    I think they should have some rights. But after 100 years have passed, it gets released, rather like Area 51 like documents kept secret by a government conspiracy cover up.

    Should my mobile phone outlive me?

    Facebook already curates photos from your timeline. Google photos curates a video collection from past years. The bigger question is are you having a life worth curating?

    Testing some forum marketing

    It is hard to say if they are bots or not. What I did notice is that people were visiting some of the topics in the links on the AWF. But there is a stubborn resistance for people to a) sign up, b) post. It is a strange phenomenon. We have several people who have signed up who haven't posted at all.
