Watch for the passing of sweetness and pleasure into a food becoming more bitter or bland over a period of only a few minutes. While this is true of any food, it is particularly true of fresh foods. Mono/Instincto rawfoodists apply this principle always. It relies upon the body 'knowing' what it wants and providing feedback in that regard. Whereas junk food appears to defy this principle it doesn't, since the body is continually craving a particular sensation which is USUALLY associated with that nutritional content, but as it is missing the craving DOESN'T GO AWAY...

It's extremely shitty of them to do so. (For one, it screws with at least one anti-spam measure. It's also really irritating for developers.) You can change your router and/or computer DNS to 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 if you'd like, assuming Comcast doesn't outright *intercept* those. As for Thunderbird, that's beyond the scope of this discussion, but there is an option in the menus. @loopduplicate: Comcast's DNS is not returning NXDOMAIN but instead returning the IP of a search server and showing you a branded, ad-full search page.

For example: http://www.swearingisfun.net is a website I used to go to years ago and I typed that into the address bar. I started using the internet in 1995 and you had to type the whole address back then and I still do because I'm a nerd and I think it's fun. Well, when I did that, I found out the website is no longer there and my internet provider, Comcast, somehow searched for me and gave me the results from Yahoo. Do you think that this is something that I can stop on my end or do I have to call my ISP? Or maybe just stop typing in the whole URL? I love typing in http://www though. It's like playing a song. Also, does anyone know how to always show the headers in Thunderbird? I don't like it cleaned up, I like looking at the code. I don't want to have to type ctrl+U every time.
