    Right now, the town the reactor is going to is only about 4000 people. It's a bit oversized, but maybe needed if they start mining again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    The open MRI machine image quality is not the best though. Much better if you can't sedate a claustrophobic

    Nice response, and for the most part I use the new one. There are several things I keep ESR around for. Adblock plus that actually keeps statistics about what is blocked, so I can use that information to make firewall rules, and a particular youtube downloader that is all client side.
    The blocker for Quantum, Ublock and ABP both don't do stats as far as I know, and I find noscript in ESR easier to wrap my head around.

    Albert: Ah, how sweet. I shall wipe away a tear, 'cause what he's getting, see, is this wooden toy and an apple.

    Death: But the letter clearly...

    Albert: I know. It's the socio-economic factors. The world would be in a hell of a mess, eh, if everyone got what they asked for.

    Albert: Yeah, well, what good is a god that gives you everything you want?

    This is probably the correct answer. I asked my wife if she mentioned me snoring in a message to her friends,and she's said no. Regardless, the add creeped me out enough that it was the nudge i needed to delete the app and go over my account to look for leaks. A couple of minor things needed tweaked,but for the most part is pretty clean.

  23. Re:There's no escaping it on Mobile Phone Companies Appear To Be Selling Your Location To Almost Anyone (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I got an ad on facebook for an anti snoring aid. I did not say anything about that on facebook, nor did I shop for anything like that. The only way it would know such things is that it monitors the microphone on the phone. The facebook "lite" app I installed a couple of months ago was promptly removed from my phone.

  24. Re:Lower? on Hulu Lowers Prices After Netflix Raises Theirs (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    True. Not only that, you used to be able to watch a fair amount on PC with an unpaid account. Now they have nothing. I checked that a couple of months ago to see if anything had changed.. it hadn't. I had lost interest in it a few years ago because too many ads, that they repeated over and over for too long, and mostly shit content.

  25. Comcast offered this before for less $ with more stations. About a year ago they did a trial in Illinois for $15 a month. Same station line-up, plus it included HBO. Now it costs $3 more without HBO. We only used it for a couple of months to watch Silicon Valley and Game of Thrones. Once their seasons ended, we dropped it. Still more content available to watch than we have time for on youtube, netflix, amazon. PBS is the only thing we can get with an indoor antenna.
