I use the price tags in the store. They show how much each thing costs. If it's too expensive I don't buy it. Make potatoes and chicken your reference point. If it's more expensive think about a substitute. Next trick is that I think what I'm going to cook before I go to store, check what I'm missing and put it on a list. Then I buy things on that list. This helps me not to throw away food.

If you do both things and still spend $10.000 on food you're only choice is to eat less or eat things you like less which is silly if you can afford it. Tracking each transaction is an interesting hobby but will consume your time and not help you much more than simply being concious about what you buy and not buying things you don't need.

Definitely how fast the humans died out. I thought they will hold on for longer but nope, folded real quick. The next intelligent species was similar and only the one after that was more successful. Then again it makes sense that species that evolved on the moon will not take earth for granted.

dystopian level of “prettifying” everything in the AI-generation world.

So like all the ad campaigns, TV shows and movies in the real world?

Any recommendations? I had all the extensions I needed for some time now. Maybe except cookie autodelete. Should I install cookie autodelete or with the 3rd party cookies disabled it's not really needed?

You either can tell that the same certificate was used 1000000 times in one day which means they are being tracked or you don't track it and one leaked cert can be used by all the minors in Spain. So it's either useless of bad for privacy.

This is exactly what will not happen. They clearly talking about different certificate. Read the article.

I guess buying my apartment at the time I bought it. Got great mortgage rate and a good price. Fast forward 2 years, the rates are 6 times higher and prices are least 50% up. Turns out I hit a historic low.

Here's what I think happened: we got used to shitload of content and personal pages couldn't keep up.

My first experience with the internet was a dial-up modelm. It wasn't cheap so we were basically counting minutes. In a short session I would check my email, download new winamp skin, open a link some friend send me and maybe visit some chatroom. That's it. Back then each page was a gem because the content was super rare. For example I could download all the Monty Python sketches. Where would you find them if not on some obscure website? They didn't have it in the library.

Then broadband happened so you could spend hours online. People started forming small communities and curating content. bash.org and similar pages happened. We started getting used to opening a link daily and seeing new funny pics and memes.

Finally corporations realized that to keep people on a page it has to show something new every fucking second and social media happened. Today we spend more time online than offline and refresh some pages every 15 minutes to see what's new. Static, personal pages can't keep up. Yes, you can create a Melisandre fan page, paste couple of pictures and start writing some fan fiction but who will read it? 30 years ago if I found such website I would save every single pick to disk and put a link to the page on www.myhomepage.com/links but today? It's pointless. It's all already on IMDB, one ddg search away. Personal pages are not the rare gems they used to be.

That's were all the pages are...

It was in the manual. There's an extra piece you connect inside and an app.
