This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.

Speaking of… Look at the cover. There is a Wells blurb.

You should read the duology (I’ve only read the first book) Monk and Robot, which is solopunk. The premise is that robots got tired of doing what they were built for, and decided to form a treaty with humans allowing them to wonder into the wild and live without human contact.

The video states the names are pseudonymous. So the answer would be, no.

You are spreading out a thin layer of dough and is rolled into small balls that get shaped into cubes. Unless you want super think cubes and less in a batch. The recipe estimates you get 2 dozen in a single batch.

EDIT: You want a somewhat dense 3D shape.

I’m sure they looked at Indian government and figured since they routinely discriminate the Muslim population he was in the clear.

I need more flavor extract like I said before. Shaping the cube is the hardest part.

Yeah that is the lead up. I recall after that he lied about it working.

First of all, Holosuites are Farangi made.

Did he? Unless I am confusing episodes, didn’t that turn out to be a lie or be lied about it working?
