My food history obsession strikes again!

I was on the Safari browser in my iPhone looking for an article to read and I saw that the Safari browser now has a text to speech option. When you choose an article online you want to read, there‘s an option that says Listen to Page. I used it today when I read that article about reading from CNN. This will save me a lot of time because it takes me forever to read with my eyeballs. The voice in the Safari text-to-speech sounds like Siri.

I bought a new case for my iPad and a screen protector. This is my new case and screen protector. My old case was worn out. I have air bubbles in my screen protector but that‘s because I struggle with installing screen protectors. I talked my mom into buying a new iPad because she couldn‘t update the software on her old iPad, it was freezing up every time she wanted to color on Zen Color and QVC had iPads on sale.

I found this text to speech app and used it to listen to the ARC I just finished reading. I‘m using the free plan. The free plan gave me 2 hours of listening time but I ran out of time so I bought 30 hours. The ARC I read had guy and girl POVs so for this book, I was switching back and forth between a guy‘s voice and a girl‘s voice. That made it more fun for me to listen to instead of just having Siri reading it to me.

To wordy for me & too much information to boot, useful for people that need to use tools though

We do not care that we laughed so hard at the podcast we listened to on our walk, that the neighbors must think we‘re crazy. #wdncw

There's actually a term for this category: LOVEINT, when intelligence officers use their access to surveillance tools to spy on the human objects of their affection. It's happened at all levels of the government, from NSA employees who accessed email and phone data of romantic partners to local police officers who have snooped in DMV databases to get women's home addresses.

In 2008, a couple of academics decided to study how long it would actually take to read all the privacy policies the average American agrees to in a year. Their estimate? More than 200 hours. That's 25 workdays, or a month of nine to five reading. To prove how ridiculous it was to expect consumers to read these agreements, one gaming company added to its online terms of service a claim to “the immortal soul“ of anyone who placed an...
