Peyote button
Someone gave a friend and me some “peyote” and we were determined that we weren’t going to vomit them back up, so we diluted them down to where they were palatable. Unfortunately, we diluted them down until they were ineffective. (Shrug), I liked mushrooms better anyway.
Eye tracking is the process of measuring either the point of gaze (where one is looking) or the motion of an eye relative to the head.
Swiss hardest hit, I suppose.
What got me a bit rattled was the context. Eye tracking is going to be the next big thing in digital advertising analytics, apparently. This means your browser, your mobile phone, your “smart” TV – any internet-connected device with a camera – is capable of recording your eye movements while you stare stupidly at the ad while waiting for that indispensible YouTube video to load. And advertisers are eager to use this data, which we will gladly supply for a small fee, to optimize their digital ad spend.

Tragedy. Also, Turkey apparently lost 10 feet of territorial boundary as it slid under the adjoining plate. Yikes. No wonder it was a 7+ earthquake, a 7+ aftershock, and a 5+ aftershock to seal the deal.

Snowden has a good video on this. 8:30 in total. But at 7 min in, he shows what to do with your phone to make it back into a PHONE!!
When I was a wee patzer in the ’50s, our family TV was a 12″ (I think) B&W Magnavox. Fucker weighed about 50 lbs, had vacuum tubes and an exterior made of what felt like concrete, and reliably got NYC channels 2, 4, 7, and 11; 5, 9 and 13 were problematic (although if the weather was just right you could pull in channel 8 from New Haven, Conn.) You’d break you hand trying to smash that unit.
I’ve been hired by many clients over the years to install eye tracking and heat mapping software on their websites. It’s incredibly easy nowadays. Like…incredibly easy. And it’s absurdly cheap. A few simple scripts is enough to make the software work.

Kyle Seraphin, who was a special agent at the bureau for six years before he was indefinitely suspended without pay in June 2022, published the document
“They would have had to either change the guidelines since I left that you can now use the SPLC or the author and their supervisor who approved the final document knowingly violated the Directorate of Intelligence guidelines,” Hill added, explaining that the directorate previously excluded the SPLC from reports because “there was no analytical rigor or basis for the majority of their assertions that they would write about on their website.”
I would go with Biden has changed the guidelines to allow any source that reinforces the narrative.

Indeed.
I routinely talk to circuits I’m building (am especially fond of wire-wrapping CD4000 real time combinational logic controls circuits, Old School) but so far I have yet to hear them talk back to me.
I woke up hungry, had some leftovers (a skillet combo of green cabbage, onion, potato, and pork sausage, seasoned with nutmeg and other Eastern delights). That’s some good Depression Era food practice.
Imagine, if you will, a bed of spring mix and baby spinach, topped with generous slices of cold beets (pickled in their native sweetness), mandarin orange segments, small grapefruit (I think? Not sure) segments, candied walnuts, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, all topped with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing that features real whole raspberries falling out of the little cup that you, the customer, drizzle over the dish to your liking.
The first bunch I met were in greater Minneapolis: Tundra, Pope Jimbo, and even MikeS was passing through town.
Then I met up with dbleagle on one of his trips to San Diego. Also when in San Diego, met with Yusef.
Here in Pahurmp have met with Hobbit and his lovely bride, and now RC Dean.
Haven’t yet managed a Greater Las Vegas Glibs meetup, but it would be a worthy cause. We could even talk about that mass shooting that never happened here.

Signs of the Apocalypse: NYC Mayor says something sensible.
“Children should be in school,” Adams wrote back to the teen, who said she got his number at an event last summer. “You can protest after school hours.”
A beagle named Roscoe who was missing from his home in Wichita, Kansas, for eight long years was reunited with his family last month after he was located more than 1,000 miles away.
“When he got out of the van the morning he came home, he came wagging his tail right to me,” his owner Nicolle Leon, 41, told Fox News Digital.
Perfect. Thanks for these.

You’d break you hand trying to smash that unit.
Eh. I mean, they’re already tracking what you’re seeing, I’m not sure the additional specific data makes that any worse.

I’m having a breakfast salad.
I will have mine later. Bacon and eggs is the best salad.
There is bacon on the salad, but no eggs.
Yesterday I had salad at the winery.
Imagine, if you will, a bed of spring mix and baby spinach, topped with generous slices of cold beets (pickled in their native sweetness), mandarin orange segments, small grapefruit (I think? Not sure) segments, candied walnuts, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, all topped with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing that features real whole raspberries falling out of the little cup that you, the customer, drizzle over the dish to your liking.
My ideal salad contains less sugar, more dairy and pork.
Sounds terrific, save for the beets. Can’t stand ’em.
Sorry for the short response, I’m still eating.
