If you think I'm going to give away inside information to unethical people such as/. readers, when I'm on to a good thing, you've got another think coming. This could get me some really big zorkmids.
I think this would be 100x more effective if it just gave you a mild shock or direct feedback, instead of waiting for the rare doctor's (dentist's?) visit. Heck, even to my own smartphone would be better... No doctor needed to see a nice graph. Maybe some optional social integration for those who like to be socially encouraged to do better.
I recommend the Ren Hoek approach to overeating - a fridge with a big padlock on it.
Yeah, dumb, but they have very nice hats. The higher up you go the more ostentatious your had can be, with more stars. gold braiding, eagles and laurels. Dang. All I have is this cotton cap from MSU with a Spartan on it and its getting a bit old and needs replacing.
Another option: have dining in parties with your friends. Have each person take a rotation, try out new recipes/variants, and in general, have a good time without the bad music/bad lighting/bad seating. Non-paying guests can stay and wash the dishes;)
I remember seeing something about these in my parents magazines from the 1950s. People had some place in the house call a Dining Room and it was much larger than their computer den. Shocking!
What makes this better than any of the countless similarly priced Android-based media players out there?
It's made [with the name, not] by Google. Which still has a shiny effect of 1.025e10 Potrzebies, give or take a Veeblefetzer.
I read earlier this morning that they were going for 8 times list price on eBay. Must be something of a Lemming moment seizing the masses. I admit to be slightly interested in one, but I have yet to get something HDMI 1.4 (so I don't need the power cord) and have to figure what the heck I need to watch so badly anyway.
Both Donald Knuth and I are massive fans of the old Mad Magazine. This seems to be a Potrzebie Friday, if ever there was one. I'm building an inventory system and test data are Veeblefetzers, Potrzebies and Axolotls. For further research I may have to fish out my copy of Gasoline Valley.
This is all rather off-topic, but the spirit of the OP was to obfuscate in event anyone is (ha!) monitoring us.
Go to a casual local place and have a backup plan if it is busy. Restaurants with mile-long reservation lists and >$100 plates are almost universally overrated.
Unfortunately I live in a resort-y area and we're overrun during the summer months. I just learn to be a better cook. I'm becoming very good at cooking these days. So much so I hate going out to eat because I can do everything so much better.
now it's time for another episode of Samurai Short-order Chef
Now if we could just get the wheels of justice to turn quicker on this one. Every day this is delayed is potentially one more day before this nonsense is put to an end.
Though realistically, the NSA will keep doing it and just try harder to hide it. It's quite clear they operate outside of any actual level of control.
They're probably already surfing the US Constitution, Bill 'o Rights and Magna Cum Arta for a loop de loop they can fly the next monitoring thing through. And both parties may wring their hands and wibble in public, but behind the closed doors they're all in bed together, watching us on their big screen TV and avin' a larf.
I'm not seeing ads on my FB and I think the only thing I've got "blocking" them is Adblock Plus... maybe they're not interested in grumpy old men?
I've looked to see if ABP is current and it is, same for update of Chrome. While I've generally ignored the little suggestions off to the right and not had a problem with them, the "suggested" content in the middle of the feed is pretty obnoxious - ads for dubious investment companies, pharma junk, fitness junk, the usual crap you see on late night TV or obscure cable channels.
The content is by pretty much the same people who plug things on my satellite radio, which make me turn down the volume and forget to turn it back up for about 20 minutes.
This isn't Ford, Chanel, Holiday Inn, US Airways, Dell Computer or Coca Cola type advertising, it's near the bottom of the barrel.

Not sure if troll or Mad Magazine.

Placing wifi-devices in close proximity to your brain doesn't sound like a smart idea.
It's non-ionizing radiation and presumably won't have enough power for thermal heating to be a concern, so I don't think you need to be too worried.
Well, how about this from "the i-know-what-you-ate-last-summer dept." -- isn't it about time to consider better dental care anyway?
In the intergalactic teacup of eternity.
one lump or two?

Unless you are evil and trying to get more people to use your company owned hospitals or reduce the population.
Astrologers as dumb as rocks. But you should report their crazy beliefs accurately. Not like you have to make shit up for them to look very stupid.
'The Age of Aquarius' is about the precession of the earth's orbit.
Well, all the planets experienced peace, but ours. Not a bad track record percentage wise when you think about it.
Time to watch Dr. Strangelove again and take copious notes...
Maybe they should make a Bollywood version.
Musical version of Dr. Strangelove, with a lot of exotic dancing? Hmm. Nobody ever accused them of having a decent script, yet.
Military intelligence? Hahahaha. Yeah right...

Only fee more teef to pull.
Except to say, goverments want us to trust them? How? They are SO stupid!
Exactly when are Kang and Kodos going to get here? I don't know how much longer I can wait to welcome our new alien overlords.
People do not eat out because it tastes to great, they go out because there is no meal to prepare or dishes to clean.
And when I do that I generally regret not preparing something, even a can of beans. Dishes are rarely the chore some people draw them up to be.
Another option: have dining in parties with your friends. Have each person take a rotation, try out new recipes/variants, and in general, have a good time without the bad music/bad lighting/bad seating. Non-paying guests can stay and wash the dishes ;)

This is what happens when your society tries to leapfrog technological advancements without understanding the stuff that preceded them.
But nothing is half so dangerous as a madman with The Bomb.

India has nuclear weapons. Sleep tight.
Sometimes it's really comforting to be in a different hemisphere ... but as in On The Beach, we know it'll eventually find its way. :(

"Here come the zombies!"
"ooo! shiny! waaaaannnt!"
in their Potrzebie. They'll need an Axolotl to fix that one...
In hot water for all that monitoring of my veeblefetzers, potrzebies and axolotls.
It's a great day for antidisestablishmentarianism and neoanarchalsocialrepublicanists.
Okay, I was aware of "axolotl", but veeblefetzers and potrzebies surprised me. Wikipedia pages and all!
You can even ask google to convert "1 potrzebie" to metric.
+1 internets to you, sir!
(This is going into my WTF? that's real? list, alongside "Legends of Nascar" commemorative plates.)

That's probably by design, for their own security... That way the courts can't force them to reveal it.
