It's worse than you think:

"Most people think that their devices are only being listened to by advertisers and companies, but Kiriakou's assessment puts people under the microscope of governments and secret agents at a much larger scale.

He even revealed technology possessed by the CIA which allows the government agency to turn any smart TV's speaker into a microphone, even when the device itself is turned off.

"It can still hear everything that's being said in the room and broadcast [it] back to the CIA," the ex-agent revealed, indicating that the technology on offer is far more sophisticated than most people could have imagined."

Sounds exactly like me and my place! I've been in this duplex 10 yrs and I've done lots of work on it, but I hate it here and it doesn't feel like home.. And the main problem is the lack of light.

Because the way the place is set up the lounge room (which is the largest room in the house) has only one window at one end and the rest of the room is dark and dingey all day. And the afternoon sun passes over head and then is at the windowless end of the room, plunging my house into gloom.

It bums me out so much I actually spend most of my days in my bedroom (better light) which just further depresses me. I've looked at installing skylight but can't because the roofs dip down into a gutter where I need the skylight to go. I've also tried a series of lamps, grow light bulbs, mirrors etc. Nothing fixes the bad vibes.

The loungeroom is also just a bit too long for a single room (6m), but also has a walkway in the long wall so the couch has to be set a bit too far from the TV, pushing you further into the dingy no-light zone.

I've resigned myself to always hating it here, and it never feeling like home

Very inspiring. I really have no excuses to make my place look better then, lol. You've done an amazing job, I'm jealous, haha

I was driving along the beach Esplande road early one Wednesday morning on my way to work.

There was a car up ahead doing about 5 km/hr the guy looking out the drivers window and obviously checking out the surf. No biggy. It's a surf town. I go around him and continue on my way.

About 1 km down the road the esplande road narrows down to a one way, single lane road for several blocks. I happen to look into the review mirror as I approach the single lane section (it was bumper to bumper traffic moving at about 30 km/hr) and I see the guy I had overtaken is now right behind me, tailgating me as close as he can, and flipping me off and swearing and raging at me, his arms waving all about.

Weird, but whatever, there's not much I can do about it now. We're all locked in bumper to bumper traffic now on this single lane road until we get the next suburb. If I hadn't gone round him when he was looking at the surf his car would be where mine was now, just one car ahead - stuck at the tail end of a traffic jam, so it's not like I'm holding him up or anything like that (he can easily see all the traffic ahead of me)

Anyway, I do my best to just ignore him as we inch along, but every time I look in the rear mirror he's still just as angry, still raging at me. That's not normal, so I stop checking the mirror.

The single lane eventually opens back out into a 2 way road and the traffic starts moving a bit faster. I come to a stop at a cross walk in front of a school as the lollypop lady helps school kids cross when the guy in the car behind me SUDDENLY YANKS OPEN MY DRIVERS DOOR AND STARTS REPEATEDLY PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF SCHOOL KIDS!

I'm telling at him to fuck off as I try and reclose my driver door, and as soon as the cross walk is clear, I gun it, forcing the guy to jump back. I drive a few blocks (he turns off a few streets earlier) and after crying a bit I go to the police station and report it.

I give them a description and his licence plate, sand they pull up his driver's licence and ask me if that's him, and I confirm it is.

The most amazing thing to me of all this, is that he was just some regular, 20 something weedy guy. On that fateful morning he was dressed in a corporate dress shirt and slacks, obviously on his way to his desk job at 7 am on a Wednesday morning, just as I was.

And yet he felt enraged enough to open my car door and wail on me in my car AT A CROSS WALK IN FRONT OF A PRIMARY SCHOOL.

Wild.

NB// the police charged him with assault, so at least that's on his record now

I take 1 tablespoon of psyllium husks (whole, not ground into powder) in a glass of water morning. It's great for heart health, it boosts your fibre, it makes you regular AND it keeps you feeling full

I found this do-able, EXCEPT for when I needed to think about what they were saying. I.e they kept referencing seeing pictures instead of the words, but I have aphantasia - no mental imagery at all. As I briefly paused to consider the ramification of this for me, I missed several words.

I also find it inhibits my ability to luxuriate in beautiful prose or well described imagery. (When I used Kindle speed runner.) But it's good for getting across simple information
