AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a breakfast photo contest, emphasizing the importance of showcasing a recognizable breakfast item. Participants are encouraged to submit photos that reflect traditional breakfast foods from their culture, rather than random meals like cold pizza. Contest rules specify that only one photo per member is allowed, which must be original and not heavily edited, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels. Photos should be uploaded to image hosting sites and linked in the contest thread. At the end of the contest, a poll will determine the favorite photo among members. The conversation also includes lighthearted banter about breakfast preferences, with one participant sharing their typical breakfast of oatmeal with blueberries and cinnamon.

What's For Breakfast?

We have had lunch and dinner. And now we go to the most important meal of the day (don't believe me? Ask Siri!), breakfast. Your photo must have something that you had for breakfast.

Now, although you can have almost anything for breakfast, such as pasta or cold pizza, please make sure that your breakfast picture is something that one can IDENTIFY with breakfast, even if it is specific only to your part of the world. If having olives and tomatoes is a common breakfast meal in your part of the world, then it is a valid breakfast photo. But if you just happen to have a cold pizza for breakfast one day because it was convenient, then that is not considered to be a valid photo for this contest.

Now, get some good breakfast, and let's see a photo!

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

Last day to show us what you had for breakfast, preferably BEFORE it was eaten.

My standard breakfast at home is oatmeal with blueberries and cinnamon. This is how I atone for my weekly lunchtime pizza binge. :oldwink:

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
