I like computer games, books, computer programming, and electronics. I am moderately knowledgable about computers if you have a problem. However, if you have any questions about fruits, vegetables, or produce in general, I am definitely the one to ask, with over two years' experience with them!

Why do web sites send so many cookies?
I have my browser set to notify me of cookies, and on some sites, I'm clicking "refuse" like 10 or 12 times before I can view the page.
I have lots blocked, but it seems that each site sends its own cookies in addition to those of the ads.
Ugh. (link)

The best thing is to block cookies from the domains of the advertisers at least, as in doubleclick.net or others. Cookies make web browsing easier by remembering certain things about you. If you turn a certain preference off on a site's page, a cookie can make it so it remains off every time you visit the site again, for instance.
If you are very security conscious, you could block cookies for all sites and then add trusted sites to the list of ones that are unblocked. In Internet Explorer, click on tools...internet options, and then the privacy tab. Set the bar to "high." Then whenever you get to a site you want to allow, click on the edit button at the bottom of that window and add the site's domain.

Why are squirrels such vicious and demonic rodents? (link)
| |
One of the possible explanations I've heard is that they are so protective of their nut stashes that they will do anything to keep other animals and people away from them. They must survive a whole winter on what they store or they will die a tedious death, and so if you were in their "shoes" you'd be the same way.

I don't know why, but everywhere I go, Oompa Loompas follow me. They laugh and call me George. I've been thinking of flying away on my spaceship i.e. banana peel and going to live on the planet of cheese-in-a-can, but I'm not sure if they have cable there. Do you have any idea if the planet has cable, or if there is any way to avoid the Oompa Loompas? Please help, they already took my sanity! 'Twas all pink and sparkly! (link)
| |
Since they've taken your sanity, it should be very easy to use the wonderful benefits of violence to eliminate their threat to your happiness. I think a 6 foot pixie stick should work wonders to beat them away and keep you from going to a planet that is artificial and not the real thing.

Where are my gray socks? (link)
| |
It's possible they might be stuck inside of one of your other clothing items, such as a shirt. I've had that happen to me before. Also, if you used bleach to wash your gray socks, you should consider them to be your white socks from now on.

What's the best kind of peanut butter? (link)
| |
Most generic store brands taste just as good as the brand names, so the big decision would be up to you. Chunky or creamy? It's a decision the world has always pondered. Some people say creamy is easier to spread on sandwiches, but others counter that creamy lacks the texture of chunky. For cookies, it won't really matter at all what type you get.

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast to a cat and drop it? My first friend said that the cat would eat the toast. My 2nd friend wanted to know what kind of toast: rye, or sourdough, and when I said it was regular white bread, she bit me. I said that the cat and toast would be sucked into a rift in the space-time continuum and the world would end. Who is right? (link)

If you strap toast to a cat and drop it, you will never find out what happens. PETA will bust through your door and haul you away and force you to view 18 hours of animal kindness videos.

so i'm sailing aboard a ship n noticed there are a few holes in it. microsoft has told my friend that we shud fill them. what shud we fill them with??? we could use socks but we rnt sure cos they mite just soak up the water from the sea n the earth will b dry! can u suggest a sock substitte? (link)
| |
You should make a bunch of different sized corks to fit the various holes in the hull in order to allow you to get your ship to the nearest repair center. Hopefully it is still under warranty, otherwise, the repairs may be quite expensive.

Can they really use soda tabs for wheelchairs or is that a myth? (link)
|
Well, soda tabs are made of aluminum, so if enough were collected, a wheelchair frame could be created out of aluminum.
However, I think when they collect those for a wheelchair, they are trying to sell them for recycling and then buy a wheelchair from the sales. They get more money for tabs because they are pure aluminum. If they were going to make the wheelchair out of the aluminum itself, they would collect whole cans to get the most metal. So there are two possibilities to consider.

Should I get another job and move to another city now, or will my current job get better soon? (link)
| |
When I first started my job, I was doing the menial tasks for everyone else, since I was at the bottom of the chain of command. After about 9 months, though, I was transferred to another department where my skills were appreciated more and I could enjoy myself. If you stick with a job long enough, you should be recognized for who you are and be given opportunities to express yourself in greater ways. Otherwise, you should look for a career in which your talents will stand out and earn you the rewards that you deserve.

I was asked to bring a "nice traditional pie" to a family dinner. A few months ago I brought key lime, and people didn't think it was "traditional" enough. What gives? I mean, seriously?
So what's a traditional pie? Should I even bother conforming, or just bring whatever I want? (link)
| |
You should really make something that you enjoy and that you feel represents your cooking skills the most. However, if you want to blend in, the pies I picture as traditional are apple pie, pecan pie, and all the "berry" pies: blueberry, stawberry, cherry, and raspberry. They'll even look traditional if you do the grid-style covering with pie crust on top.

I really like to cut up green onions on everything, but when I buy the bunches of them from the store they're all limp and nasty looking like two days later. I keep them in my fridge and everything, but nothing helps!
Am I doing something wrong, or should I buy them somewhere else, or is this just the curse of green onions? (link)
|
Well, you may wish to ask one of the associates at the store where you shop when they get new shipments in. If you then come in within a day of that time you'll be able to receive the freshest possible onions. Also, don't be afraid to ask the person who might be stocking the produce department at the time if there are more onions in the back.
As for keeping them fresh, the store provides a good example for how to do so. The sprayers above the vegetables keep them moist and prevent them from drying out and becoming limp. I have seen the items that don't get sprayed go bad in merely a day, even if they were fresh from the truck when I stocked them on the floor.
My suggestion would be to get a little spray bottle and fill it with water and wet the onions every so often to keep them from losing their moisture. Another solution would be to keep the onions in a tray with a little bit of water in the bottom and a paper towel on top to spread the water over the tops of the onions. Anything that helps keep the onions moist will extend the shelf life of them greatly.

Which is better, brownies made from brownie mix or brownies made from scratch? (link)
| |
A brownie mix has basically the same dry ingredients that you would use for ones made from scratch. The wet ingredients will make the biggest difference in quality. The one that tastes better will use butter and not margarine, and higher fat milk instead of skim. It's all about the quality of the ingredients.

my favorite question of all time:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (link)
| |
The answer is indeterminate, as different woodchucks have different appetites. That doesn't even take into consideration at all whether the woodchuck even feels like chucking, or has a full stomach.

ok i'm getting the feeling lately that staplers and staples are out to take over the world. but they can't because the bunny slippers already claimed the world and the world domination rule book states very clearly that once an inanimate object claims some planet to dominate another inanimate object can not dominate it until the other inanimate object has taken over for at least 1 month (you now how things are). but now that i have found out about the staplers and staples i have the feeling that they want to kill me so that i don't ruin their plan. which is a very bad thing because they r now following me.....and getting closer...and closer...and Closer!...and CLOSER!!!...and ::runs away from staplers and staples::. sry that i have to run but those staples hurt when they combine forces with the staplers and staple your finger to the wall!i would talk to the Government but they are already trying to take over the World and could very well just help the staplers, staples, and bunny slippers and that would not be good.not good at ALL!!! so what should i do because i can't sleep because the bunny slippers will eat my feet, i can't stay still for too long because the staplers and staples will staple me to things, and there is a giant rabbit eating all of my flowers in my garden...which has nothing to do with anything but it still is a problem. What Should I do??? Oh no...the bunny slippers are coming...they're too fast...i can't out run them...they're coming....they're AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
*monotous voice* BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!! Plz excuse us while the bunny slippers take over the world, the staplers and staples mangle the author of this letter, and the the giant bunny in her backyard eats all of the flowers in her garden.... (link)
| |
Remember, staplers have a limited supply of ammo. Once they run out, they are vulnerable and can do no harm. Use that chance to stick some gum under the head and neutralize the stapler for good. As for the bunny, one word: shotgun.
