  1. We took plunge on a lake house about 10 months ago, it is a 1:15 minutes from our house door to door. This has allowed us to use it very frequently, I do wonder long term how much of that will wane with time, non-covid times, and my kids (9 and 6 now) having more and more extracurricular activities. I will say, it has become a very relaxing place for us. We can go on a moments notice and once there we feel very removed from our day to day lives.
  2. I had it in Japan as part of a shabu shabu meal
  3. sure, why not? I have eaten horse so I assume its not that different.
  4. I have a reoccurring dream they start to offer jalapeños as a topping on the spicy chicken. It must be what heaven is like.
  5. That special smell that a "6th street bar has on a Saturday morning" thats the kinda stale fragrance I imagine.
  6. I think as this storm forms that will become the major story. It should be being discussed.
  7. South Texas Flour Tortillas Ceviche and Nachos at Vermillion (Brownsville)
  8. Correct - the donation levels for those seats are set for life at the current level if you buy them this year. After this if you buy the tickets the donation amount can change from year to year to keep the same seats.
  9. apparently they had extra Arkansas ticket, I got another email last night that they had additional tickets.
  10. Watched it last night, I thought it was meh as well, I did think from the synopsis it was going to be much more action than it is.
  11. There are a lot of places you cannot get to by driving. I would think over 12 years you would have wanted to go to some.
  12. I am glad I am not the only one that did a double take on that one.
  13. Thanks for sharing, we will be rooting for you.
  14. It may be a technical point, but in this case the phone is scanning itself. That interview is Apple trying to clear up two different things. I think the issue of privacy is super important and everyone should be informed. But it is a issue that requires us to understand exactly how the technology is working. In this case Apple has explained how it is working. If that is a lie or untruth I expect the internet community will quickly expose it as such.
  15. I don't think anyone is saying it is not a big deal. We are clarifying what is actually happening. It could be abused for sure, the title of the thread is "apple will now scan your iPhone...." and that is not accurate.
  16. neither - your phone is going to scan itself for known porn. Not using machine learning or AI
  17. But thats not at all what is happening, it's not analyzing images at all. Step 1) Apple is installing a list of 1's and 0's on your phone that match the "finger print" of known CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). This list is enclosed within iOS. Step 2) When you upload a photo to icloud, your iPhone (On Device) it is checking to see if the 1's and 0's of the pictures you are about to upload match the set of known porn 1's and 0's that are stored on your phone. If they do when your phone sends the picture to the cloud it also sends a "flag" Step 3) if you have more than 30 flags in your iCloud account, then some sort of notification can occur. Apple could adjust this number to 1 I suppose for arguments sake, but it is still a upload of a picture of known CSAM. Apple doesn't even know what 30 images you have, just that you have more than 30. In short, Apple still sees NOTHING stored on your phone.
  18. Yeah this is the key point. Apple is scanning for the digital signature of known child porn, it is looking for a match on those. If you have over some set number (they said around 30) of KNOWN matches in your iCloud is when the alert even happens. Apple is not looking at your pictures or trying to decide what they look like. If you want to understand it here is a good interview.
  19. I know. I actually went back and forth on what to call it. But decided their were enough Tex mex places with mole on the menu to get away with it.
  20. I fucking could not stop laughing and had to pause it. it was so perfect.
  21. Tex-Mex (Street Tacos and Mole) BBQ (Central Texas) Thai (Northern) Indian (Brick Road) Greek Cajun
  22. I am sure Elizabeth gave her some tough feedback.
