Greg_Bernstein: I bet it's now.
Phillip Long: and cranked up the temperature to 50° C and ruining the food in so far several hundred supermarkets across France and Denmark.
Elaine_Wooton: No. I only here a few hours ago, so I have not consumed their local news. So, I will have to pay attention to that. That's very interesting. it's going to be everywhere because everything is vulnerable and we've known that the only things that haven't hacked are things that nobody wanted to hack
Phillip Long: Let's see.
Elaine_Wooton: What? Yeah. Yeah.
Greg_Bernstein: Yep, there it is. Major French supermarket chains hit by cyber attack. Food stock impacted. You think? Yeah. When we can't eat, people are going to get a little bit more serious about cyber security, especially for why do they keep changing the names? It's not embedded to operational systems.
Greg_Bernstein: OTS. Yeah.
Greg_Bernstein: Which they keep changing the name to what they call.

Greg_Bernstein: what happens.
Phillip Long: Let's see…
Elaine_Wooton: if there's unorded going on there.
Phillip Long: what happens. Yeah.
Elaine_Wooton: But it might be that it's not that chain. So,
Phillip Long: It could be likely the case.
Phillip Long: Apparently, the chain that's serving the stores in France is from a software company in Denmark. That's the ones that have the control systems for managing refrigeration in the stores. And so there's a number of chains in France that were hit and some in Denmark that have this same software installed, but small little grocery stores and things like that may not.
Phillip Long: So you may be fine,…
Elaine_Wooton: So, it could be …
Elaine_Wooton: yeah. I'm reading the article. Wow. Yeah,…

Elaine_Wooton: it's yeah, there will be many disruptions of many things and…
Phillip Long: Yes. Yes.
Indoor Gardening Discussion
Elaine_Wooton: that's what grow your own food. This is one of my favorite lines Growing your own food is like printing your own money.
Phillip Long: A little bit hard for us. We're in a townhouse.
Elaine_Wooton: So, I threw micro greens, spinach, lettuce, and bok choy in bins in a row along the back of my dining room table in my kitchen.
Phillip Long: Excellent. …
Elaine_Wooton: And always Yeah.
Greg_Bernstein: So that's inside gardening.
Phillip Long: I may turn to you for some advice. Elaine Wooton:
Elaine_Wooton: inside gardening. Yeah. What?
Greg_Bernstein: Then you don't have the problem I have with the darn squirrels. They ravaged my sunflowers.
Elaine_Wooton: Yeah. Yeah.
Greg_Bernstein: They ravaged my peach and nectar multi-tree.
Phillip Long: Killer squirrels.
Greg_Bernstein: God. Yeah.
Elaine_Wooton: Yeah. they are problematic. Yeah. this works out pretty well. the trick is you can never put the bins outside because they'll get insects in them and then you have insects in the house. So It has to be in the house. You get one set of grow lights. I guess it was 16 dish pans from the dollar store and you nest them one in the other so that you get some air underneath.
Elaine_Wooton: And then you just constantly plant the seed as you're eating the one. As soon as it's done, you back doesn't take up too much room. And then you have fresh stuff and it's nice, but and it's just two of you in the household.
Phillip Long: Yep. Yeah,…
Elaine_Wooton: No, it'd be just fine. We can just have a little salad. It's so fantastic.
