I have nothing against robots. Some of my best friends growing up were
robots.

Maybe I should get a cooking robot. Does roomba make a decent one? Or
should I try an Apple iRobot? I need one that can cook ethnic food.

I've seen unhealthier. Actually, all food is healthy, depending on
how much you need it. What's wrong with a few eggs? Milk is used to
make lots of things, including cheese and yogurt. One cup of sugar
doesn't sound like much in relation to the other items in the recipe.
Doesn't sound like something I'd want to make (although I'd certainly
try it if someone else did the work), but I wouldn't say it truly
unhealthy. It's not like you're supposed to sit down and eat the
whole thing at one time.

I see no commented localhost lines.

BTW, I use Hostsman to keep it updated.

Sounds like a reference to Hostman or similar.

Agree with you, TJ:
Eat whatever sounds good, just don't eat lots of it.

Disagree with you, TJ:
Food is completely unhealthy. It's evil. It will kill you eventually.
Even to quit eating food now, it's too late...the damage is already done.
You will definitely die.

Thanks for that. One of the things about people googling things on
their own and quietly going about their business; it doesn't expose me
to anything new or different.

I don't know what browser you're using but the Chrome browser uses a
list of known bad sites and gives warnings when you go to that URL. My
assumption is it's generated by Google. If I recall correctly, Firefox
will give you a choice of third party hostfile subscription services on
setup but I could be wrong. Chrome is also great at blocking popups. I
really hate it when I use IE or Firefox and a dopey ad pops up. It's one
of the reasons that I try to avoid those browsers.

Adblock works on web browser level only, while hosts file works accross
your entire system for all internet applications.

Hosts file blocks not only known bad web sites like adblock and similar
plugins for web browsers, hosts file also block 3rd party cookies,
tracking beacons, counters, google.analytics and other analytics pages...

Theoretically it speeds things up because it looks to the localhost for the
webserver for the ads, and (assuming your PC is not a webserver) it times
out faster than it would load the ad. I haven't gone back and forth much
but I remember noticing a speed increase when I started using it.

I also use Noscript, Adblock and Flashblock with Firefox, but the hosts file
works for other apps.

I solved my problems with pop-ups, 3rd party cookies, and malicious and
phishing sites years ago. It's a non-issue for me.

When I say "sponsored links" I'm not talking about pop-ups or malicious
links. Sponsored links do not pose a problem for me. My original concern
was Google skewing search results in my favor by using my location.
Using an anonymous proxy search request pretty much resolves that
concern. Google using location services to customize a search is a good
and useful feature but it's not good if you're doing a survey of search
result placement.

I use Firefox and extremely rare to have a popup ad. I did install an
add-in Adblocker and has worked very well.

I used to be a Firefox faithful but I think it's gotten fat and bloated
with all the add-ons. Of course that's mostly my fault for loading the
things in the first place. OTOH, I use Firefox to edit my website while
in the browser. That's super cool. Otherwise, I use Chrome cause it's a
lot faster.

Hrutka. I've never seen it eaten or made at any other time than Easter.
It's pretty easy to make. Not sure if I have it on my website anywhere.

I pour in through a cheesecloth-lined (maybe 4 layers) colander to drain
it, then round it into a ball and hang it to finish draining. My sister
hangs her on the clothesline to drain.

The sugar and sweet spices are a foreign concept to me. My ingredients
are a dozen eggs to a quart of whole milk, maybe a teaspoon of salt.
It's a nice recipe in that it is easy to reduce. My sister makes a
hrutka about the size of a tennis ball for the only child in her family
who favors it.

Thanks. I wondered about downsizing it.

That's a really lovely video -- thank you very much for the link. That
IS a beater -- just not a rotary egg beater. The title of the video (in
the URL) is approximately "How to make a hrudka for Easter."

Atrocity? Why, you little. . . .

Hrutka is a specialty item. An Easter food. I've heard it described as
an overcooked custard -- it is only milk and eggs. Think "cold,
compressed overcooked scrambled eggs, sliceable."
