Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Remember when we worried that the government was bugging our homes and listening to everything we say?

Now we're going out and buying the bugs ourselves.

"The Economist Intelligence Unit, a London-based research firm affiliated with the Economist magazine, named Chicago to its 2017 Safe Cities Index, issued Thursday — one of only three US cities to crack the top 20 — largely based on advances in digital security.

The annual ranking assesses 60 global cities using four factors: personal safety, health security, digital security and the safety of infrastructure.

Chicago, at 19th-safest, narrowly trailed the other top-20 US representatives, San Francisco at 15th and Los Angles at 18th. Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka topped the overall list, an order that has remained unchanged since 2015. Buenos Aires was the only city in the so-called developing world in the top half of the index.

Chicago fared best in digital security, jumping 12 places in the rankings and following just Tokyo and Singapore. The report gave props to an initiative in cybersecurity training through local colleges and the Department of Defense that Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced in January."​

Yes, because when it comes to keeping your spouse and children safe, it's good to know you're living in a bastion of cybersecurity training. That will help immensely when your daughter is walking home from school.

 

How did someone ever think this would be a good idea?

Buffalo Sauce Latte

 

I thought the phrase was work smarter, not harder? In this case, she reversed it... why not just use a knife like everyone else?

 

whos tearing bread with peanut butter? take that crap outta the fridge and it softens up just fine!

 

Typical come up with a "solution" to a problem nobody has and use that to get attention.

Her method:

1. Get out parchment paper
2. Spread PB on parchment paper
3. Freeze it
4. Cut it into squares
5. <later> put it on your bread
6. wait for it to thaw
7. serve

Everybody else in the world's method:

1. Spread PB on bread
2. Serve

 

Who on earth puts their PB in the fridge?

If you're tearing your bread you need to buy real bread.

 

I just assumed that's how her pb was tough enough to regularly tear bread haha. people are weird man.

 

Oh great. And I'm planning a trip there next year.

‘Supervolcano’ could start erupting sooner than thought

 

yeah, only explanation I can think of also. Even the watch-the-machine-grind-up-only-peanuts fancy-pants stuff has enough oils to keep it spreadable at room temperature.

 

The natural ones that come premade need to be mixed and if you don't mix it up well enough in the beginning then by the time you get to the bottom of the jar you're into the tough stuff that'll tear bread. Solution? When we buy a new jar we store it upside down in the pantry. It's usually a few days before we open it and it gives the oil a time to migrate the other direction. Needs a lot less stirring and no tough stuff at the end of the jar.

 

The reason is she likely doesn't have a real job so she "blogs", or "podcasts", or "pintrests" and needs to come up with Rube Goldberg methods of doing simple crap just to fill the empty space in her "art" (and life). She's probably the one who came up with eating salad out of mason jars.

 

Exactly - you're doing it "right". Not doing it that way is user-error. Of course, someone going to a ton of trouble instead of doing something the right way in the first place is not uncommon.

 

Thats the only way he can breath because of the cranial rectosis he suffers from!

 

Oh yeah, I remember that craze. Saw it and thought it was stupid then. Even wide-mouth jars. Idiocy.

I use 5-cup Rubbermaid TakeAlong plastic containers. Dressing in a small tupperware midget container. Mix the two at lunchtime. Simple and easy.

You're right - there's so many people vying for attention, the little bit about applying a modicum of common sense gets lost.

 

Here are a couple local WTFs
