I think the rise of home computing has a lot to do with the way the crime rate has dropped.

Had no intarwebz for 10 hours or so,; it was either magically restored or restored by one of the 45452343524 modem/router resets I did. I usually just let it come back in its own time (it's mostly power-related) but I know Steven Down Below likes me to thrash it when it misbehaves so I am a harsher miastress.

Reddit Cookery
You also don't need an actual oven for this. You can turn a regular toaster on its side and make the pizza that way. Note: Also works for grilled cheese sandwiches.
LIES!!!
Weren't there a bunch of posts of how this doesn't work when it last hit reddit?
Nope, I think you're thinking of something else. Soap, maybe.
Oh yeah, the guy that woke up at 2 a.m. and made chili or some shit like that?
I think you're thinking of the time the guy heated pizza with a hotel iron.

Droll reviews for pepper spray on Amazon:
'This stuff really just does everything it says it does. You spray, and people will move. Hate waiting in lines? Hate people just sitting around and wasting valuable time doing nothing? Just hate people in general? If you answered yes to any of those things, then you are in for a peppery treat!'
'I don't always oppress, but when I do I use Defense Technology 56895 Mk-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray. '
'Yes, there is no question. When I want to brutalize nonviolent protestors exercising rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, this product is my first choice for stopping democracy in its ugly tracks. It doesn't matter whether the victim...err...perp is a young student, a veteran, a pregnant woman, or a senior citizen, when I'm really feeling like a pig this product really makes THEM squeel.'

Ugh.
Electricity has been mostly ok this past four hours, but the freaking internet is weak and disconnect-y. I have been trying to play Glitch but it's like this: Take a swipe at a rock, game says, 'The game needs to reload,' either it doesn't load or it comes back and I take another swipe at the rock. The game goes into a pending state then says it has to reload. It reloads and I take a swipe at the rock. It reloads again but comes up Server Not Found. I wait a minute then try again. It loads and I try to crush the rock but the game goes into a pending state then reloads.
I may be forced to watch that movie, Candide :-D

Facebook vies with Google for 'Most Despised' Crown
Facebook has begun rolling out a new feature called Smart Lists to one-up Google+ . Facebook Smart Lists somehow [???] organise your friends automatically, so you do not have to take the time to go back and do it in a meaninful way.Facebook Smart Lists are not a robot they are a unicorn.

Facebook is now streaming movies.
Everything gets boiled down to bedrock human desires to watch Sleepless in Seattle, play Farmville, reconnect with someone from 30 years ago, and comment, "Wow! Great haircut!" on someone's page. Is that all we want? The cartoon with a character exhorting another character to sign up for G+ because it's like FB but it isn't FB holds much truth none of it good.
It's long been apparent we've gone through the Wild West best part of the internet and are now in the middle phase where everything is monetised, lowest-common-denominatored, paywalled, and made into a predictable experience (where have I heard that before). Originally it was sort of exhilarating but funky, then it became useful and exciting, then ubiquitous and fun, now it's been broken by design and meh but still has good parts.
Meh.

New York Times:
'The North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has found a novel way of raising badly needed cash, according to the South Korean authorities: unleashing young hackers on South Korea’s immensely popular online gaming sites to find ways to rack up points convertible to cash.
Despite its decrepit economy, North Korea is believed to train an army of computer programmers and hackers. The police in Seoul said Thursday that four South Koreans and a Korean-Chinese had been arrested on charges of drawing on that army to organize a hacking squad of 30 young video gaming experts.
Working from Northern China, the police said, the squad created software that breached the servers for such popular South Korean online gaming sites as “Lineage” and “Dungeon and Fighter.” The breach allowed round-the-clock play by “factories” of dozens of unmanned computers.'

On her blog soror Nishi says, 'It is, I am certain, the best thing to come out of the internet, the ability to meet people we would never have the opportunity of meeting otherwise. Having the ability to shapeshift leads us to disregard, for the most part, how someone appears and this makes us look beyond and through the biological avatar which is normally such a strong factor when we first meet people in RL.'

This is timely as I've been gnashing my teeth over it for months:
How to pop your Internet 'filter bubble'
It's been bugging me because I could see the wide world of information contract around me into a contrived grouping of algorythmically chosen same-olds that the internet was precisely the antidote for in the beginning.
Sadly, the suggestions don't really sound very strong.
