Your mom had Googled it. You got the ads because you were on her network.

It took me three reads to realize it says “dish water” and not misspelled dish washer.

This sounds just like when my family member tell me that their phones are “listening to what they say” because they talk about something and then see an advertisement for it.

No, you’re seeing the ad because you googled it and forgot that you did. Or someone else on the house did.

Edit: Morons. If your phone listened to you for ads the battery would be dead in hours. More so than they do now.

Surely you can’t be serious.

Appliances.

There’s a lot of bars/restaurants that do.

Seconded; it’s why I put a removable white label over the barcode on the back of my license.

Then we’re back to FTP sites and fServes.

The way the elders of the internet intended; by crudely pasting their heads on top of someone else body.

Primitive the profits, socialize the losses.

Yes

Use a VPN; don’t open up SSH to the internet.

It is life changing once you get it running.

Yep. You can also use the sun’s position in the sky as well; I had one of the AIs write up the YAML.

One of my favorite copypastas:

Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment.

I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn’t there the moment before. I looked down: “Rail? WTF?” and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling.

Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife’s pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC’s pulling, and 2 Dash-9’s pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours!

Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths?

A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.
