    Interesting. I never thought about it that way.

    Do they get depressed when they can't "catch" the dot? I've heard that can be an issue with long term usage. I don't know if it's true though.

    It's about as "abusive" as using a laser pointer to play with your cat. A behaviour I personally find repugnant, but one enjoyed by cat owners the world over.

    I'm curious, why do you fund it repugnant?

    Jump
  • Bakersfield Bakersfield 3 weeks ago 100%

    The email service says it was unable to appeal a Swiss court’s demand to log the IP address of a French climate advocate.

    This weekend, news broke that the anonymous email service ProtonMail turned over a French climate activist’s IP address and browser fingerprint to Swiss authorities. The move seemed to contradict the company's own privacy-focused policies, which as recently as last week stated, "By default, we do not keep any IP logs which can be linked to your anonymous email account."

    It's probably tight enough for your needs. Unless you live in Switzerland or are breaking Swiss law, they'd need a really good reason to send your data anywhere.

    Unless you're a climate activist in France:

    The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist.

    The solution is shame.

    At first I thought, "Good idea." But I worry that it might start to dilute the stigma of the term 'Nazi.' People might start thinking, "They call everyone a nazi sympathizer. It's not a big deal."

    Tiramisu https://i.imgur.com/d2vmAZe.gifv

    Recipe source: [Recipe Tin Eats](https://www.recipetineats.com/easy-tiramisu/) 3 eggs , yolks and whites separated 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar (superfine sugar) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 8 oz / 250g mascarpone , good brand (Important - read Note 1) 1 1/4 cups black coffee , hot and strong! 2 tbsp (or more!) Frangelico or Kahlua , or other liquor of choice 6.5 oz / 200g (24 - 30) lady fingers, pavesini or savoiardi biscuits Cocoa , for dusting Beat yolks and sugar in stand mixer or electric beater on speed 6 to 7 for 10 minutes or until it changes from yellow to pale yellow (almost white), and is thick (see video for consistency). Add vanilla and mascarpone, beat until just combined and smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl, set aside. Clean bowl and whisk. Add egg whites and beat until it's stiff (3 minutes on speed 7, should be all white foam, see video!) Add 1/2 the cream mixture into the egg whites. Gently fold through. When most incorporated, add the remaining cream mixture and fold through until just combined - don't bash out all the air in the egg whites! (Note 4) Mix coffee and liquor together. Quickly dip biscuits in and line the bottom of a 8”/20cm square dish. (See video or step photos above to see how I arrange them). Spread over half the cream, then top with another layer of coffee dipped biscuits. Spread with remaining cream. Cover, refrigerate for at least 4 - 5 hours, preferably overnight Dust with cocoa powder just before serving - either before you cut or after placing onto serving plates. **Personal notes**: She uses Kahlua here which I like, but I also like to use **marsala** which is a fortified wine, and I've even tried it with a good quality dark rum. Play around with it to your taste. The **uncooked eggs** might turn some people off, and you want to be aware if you're serving it to immunocompromised people or pregnant people. You can temper or pasteurize your eggs at home if you are concerned, but the risk here is very low. If you are confused about finding **savoiardi**, they're probably either in the cookie aisle or the "international" aisle of a lot of U.S. stores, but you can use the Instacart app to see what stores have them in stock before you go shopping. They are easier to find now in the U.S. than they were 20 years ago, I'll tell you that much. You want to get the dry ones. Ladyfingers/savoiardi are really easy to make yourself but I advise against it for tiramisu because the fresh ones have a bit too much moisture. You want a really dry cookie to absorb all the liquid.
