Trim woody bits from peppers. Throw in blender. Puree. Add enough vinegar that it smooths out. Add more salt than you think you should, and then put more in. A touch of olive oil can be fun, too, which changes the texture a bit.
That's all. Just peppers, vinegar, and salt. A tiny bit sorks fine when it comes to consumption.
1 pound of peppers produces a bit less than a quart.
Keep refrigerated or you might get botulism and die in one of the shittier wayz imaginable.
I grow Carolina Reapers. I do not eat Carolina Reapers.
Well, I mean, I do eat them: I blend them with a lot of salt and plenty of strong vinegar and freeze them in squeeze-bottles until it is time to consume. The mixture seems to keep indefinitely, once thawed, under normal refrigeration.
I've also fermented them and done the same sort of thing with them, which produces very different taste.
The sauce is a crowd pleaser and it is very tasty. But despite being made from the hottest of peppers, I've had it described as being "surprisingly mild." In sauce form, it's easy to use tiny amounts.
But I don't eat them. I've chopped up tiny slivers of one and put it on a baked potato (with plenty of butter, sour cream, and cheese), many times, and I ate those potatoes, but I don't just -- you know -- eat them as they are.
Eating these peppers as they are is a really fucking stupid thing to do. Then-girlfriend's much-younger then-high-school-aged brother liked to take them to school with him; I encouraged him not to. He used them as dare material. I feel bad for those poor bastards.
These fuckers are mean. When I had a surplus of some of these and some other scary-hot peppers one year (more than I could bottle), I tried to give some to the Asian grocery store next door who was always kind to me, just a basket on the counter of peppers for folks to -- you know -- just take for free. "Too hot," they said after a couple of days. "Nobody wants these," they added when they gave them back). A bunch of spicey-food-loving Mexicans that my Dad knows also rejected them ("too hot," they said too)..
And yes, it's "all in your head," but the body's reaction to what's in your head can be very damaging to said body.
That all said: I'm lead to wonder if the "thunderclap headaches" in TFA weren't caused directly by the violent retching. The human body is pretty fucking hard on itself when it comes to expelling (what it considers to be) poisons.
Authentication isn't really a thing for them, generally: They follow the same KISS ideas as things like SMTP.
The simplest of these systems (outdoor warning sirens) work with simple tone sequences or, if really fancy, DTMF... all in the clear with normal frequency modulation on a published radio frequency.
Yes, yes indeed. And as it accumulates this charge it still functions fully as a Faraday cage. It also functions as a Faraday cage as it is discharged. It always works as a Faraday cage.
The sometimes-resultant (though not necessarily inevitable) discharge of this accumulation is indeed a very broadband emitter of RF. It's very bad form, but being bad form does not mean that it is functioning as something other than a Faraday cage.
As I said before, dissipating this static charge is the only function of a ground connection on a Faraday cage. I will further state that it doesn't even have to be a good (ie, low-impedance at broad frequencies) ground in order do that.
Dump it through a 10-meg resistor, a huge inductor, and a wet bit of string all in series tied to the handle of a table knife shoved into the barely-conductive earth? Sure, works fine for getting rid of the nuisance of accumulated potential.
Grounding only serves to help the thing not build a static charge. Grounding has no effect on its ability to block (rather, convert to electricity and then dissipate as heat) radio signals.
I used to have a small Faraday pouch that was lined with silver-colored conductive fabric. I used it when my employer was tracking me with GPS on my dumb phone, including logging power on/off events. (When I say I'm at lunch, I'm at lunch and that's my business. It's also my business if I've taken a day off.)
It worked fine, blocking both GPS (easy) and cell signals (less easy).
I'm not sure what you're doing wrong with your tinfoil pouch, but Faraday cages are pretty well-understood concepts.
And unlike Shrodinger's Cat, you can actively observe the behavior remotely. Look at signal levels in your wifi access point. Use ping on the device itself. Fire up any of a number of remote-access apps; see how it behaves. You don't need to see the screen in order to see what the device is doing.
They may have a contractual agreement to pay per-seat licensing for a very long time. We don't know their arrangement and have no way to know. (Why would they do this? For a better deal on licensing and royalties early on. The licensor would also adore this concept; companies love lasting residual income for zero additional effort.)
Either way, in all likelihood, all existing product was produced under an agreement that is still binding for that particular instance of product. Contracts are assholes that way.
What they could do, assuming they own the existing design completely and want to give up what may be (we do not know) a revenue stream for them, is allow the Pi Foundation and others to sell factory-unlocked versions of existing silicone at no additional cost.
Future iterations may be be different, but I do not see how the existing base of installed Pis benefits from this.
And the Pi 4 (or whatever) will certainly be quick enough to do an outstanding job of software MPEG2 without breaking a sweat, just like modern PCs. Hardware MPEG2 decoding was definitely a thing in the 90s and early 2000s. I remember being pissed when my 3dfx Voodoo3 didn't come with one (it came with a slip of paper for a mail-in offer for a free [as in beer] software decoder), and now nobody cares about that.at all anymore. Computers got fast enough that it doesn't matter.
There's a ridiculous amount of money in supporting hundreds of rare, valuable cars.
If there are thousands and millions of examples, you've got competition: Everyone and their brother will be making parts that compete with your own. Hundreds, though? That's a captive market and you can name your price.
My phone belongs to me and any signal sent to me that is not welcomed will be viewed as an electronic attack and a measured response will be in order.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This console has been completely jailbroken/rooted/DIY since almost day 1, and it remains so. So unlike PlaysForSure (or whatever it was) on a Zune, I will always be able to at least replace my online-sourced content and play it just fine (if offline, because game servers are game servers).
It is a champion of accidental openness, probably due in large part to the fact that at all times all of the Wii's hardware and accessory sales were profitable to Nintendo; it never was sold as a loss leader. This reduced their incentive to keep an iron grip on the software: When Sony or Microsoft lose money on every console sale, the only way for them to generate profit is through software sales and royalties.
I don't worry about my Wii content, although I may have to do some (illegal-but-should-not-be) space-shifting with KAT or TPB in the future in order for the stuff I've paid for to remain playable as the hardware inevitably ages and dies.
But as it is all of my Wii software is already running from an SD card, including the titles that I own on optical disc. The solid-state non-spinny bits of the Wii should last for a long, long time.
Amazon stopped selling Chromecast and other devices that don't "support" Amazon's streaming service, years ago. Amusingly (and childishly), they also stopped allowing third-party listings of the device. It was as if it didn't even exist.
The trouble with this is that Chromecast doesn't support anything. It's just a tiny little Chromium machine that runs apps, and those apps are generally those that play streaming video.
Because of this particular ecosystem. it is up to the content provider to support Chromecast, not the other way around. This fact makes Amazon's refusal to sell Chromecast a red herring.
After Google killed Youtube access for Fire TV users, Amazon started selling Chromecast again, which is certainly not coincidental. Amazon implemented a workaround for the lack of Youtube access, and Google is apparently now playing (like a cat with a mouse) with killing their workaround, too.
(Meanwhile all I want is for Amazon to let me stream Amazon movies on Chromecast. If Pornhub can have official support, so can Amazon. (Except I can't shop on Amazon with Chromecast, so they don't like it. But I never wanted the ability to buy things with a television anyway.))
Or at least in an admirably-decent format. MP3 @ 320K, or AAC @ 192, for instance, is fine. (Perfect? No. But fine.)
They could force FLAC or 44.1/88.2/192k PCM, but that just encourages people to use workflows that they might not be used to, and/or lying through conversion from a very lossy format to a lossy one.
It's also very easy to hear large transistors flipping on and off, such as in an unladen solid-state Class AB amplifier. Stick your head inside of one sometime; the sound very clearly eminates from the output devices.
TFT displays also work by physical distortion of a pixel. Are you sure that this cannot make a sound? (And what of dithered displays, where pixels oscillate in order to achieve certain in-between intensities?)
Eh? I'm in the US, and was born and raised in proper city with no (zero) residential building code. I'm therefore very familiar with a thoughtful DIY mentality in home maintenance and improvement. (What permits?)
Whenever I mention working on "mains wiring" online, my neighbors on the other side of the pond get all audibly scared: "You gotta hire an ELECTRICIAN to work on MAINS," they say, before installing their tinfoil hat.
So, I ask: What stuff are they allowed to do over there which you feel isn't allowed over here?

Grounding does not help a Faraday cage even in the event of intrusive wiring.
You're making shit up. Please stop.
I would guess that Netflix did in fact do this, in part due to the USPS consolidation of sorting operations a number of years ago.
In Ohio during Netflix's disc peak my mail carrier looked like a Netflix delivery agent, with an armload of red envelopes every day.
Netflix opened new centers to reduce turn-around time (it worked, too). The one nearest me was in Toledo.
Now all of Ohio's mail is sorted in Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinatti. There's no reason to maintain any Ohio facilities outside of these locations.

A Faraday cage does not require grounding.
Grounding only serves to help the thing not build a static charge. Grounding has no effect on its ability to block (rather, convert to electricity and then dissipate as heat) radio signals.

Maybe. But will we still care enough by that point to bother with hardware MPEG2?
The baby-daddy of all of the Pi-like creations is the Broadcom catalog, not custom silicone.
What motivation would Broadcom have to use an open hardware design in their chips, instead of the existing design that works fine?
Neat, and obvious (oh hi VLC and mencoder!) but.
If you really think that the set-in-silicone hardware decoder on a Raspberry Pi MPEG2 encoder is free (as in libre), I've got a bridge to sell you.
The patents on the design expired. This just means that anyone can write their own MPEG2 system.
Specific implementations are still covered by copyright and possible licensing, just like any new implentation tomorrow.
The idea is free. The code is not necessarily free.

To large extent I agree, but with the Wii:
This console has been completely jailbroken/rooted/DIY since almost day 1, and it remains so. So unlike PlaysForSure (or whatever it was) on a Zune, I will always be able to at least replace my online-sourced content and play it just fine (if offline, because game servers are game servers).

I liked the online racing. I was happy with the game doing little solo missions and winning racing.
But then stunts happened. Stunt races are not races; they're eye candy.
Sonos, then?
No subscriptions. Just point it at an SMB share somewhere on the LAN.
Obviously that's why they stopped selling Apple TV at exactly the same time, right?
It may be hard for the /. crowd to grasp, but there's companies out there who are simply miserable assholes to eachother.

And also it's "crawlers," not "banners." They became universal just after 9/11/2001.
