Tell your friends and family not to fall for it then. Ad dicks will come up with something new and equally horrible.
Just gonna put this here…
Ah, sh!t, I clicked and gave him traffic. 🤦♂️
Agreed, no one in the GOP has the cult of personality thing like Drumpf. The remaining grifters will attack each other in their quest for power like a Humboldt squid feeding frenzy (Google that if you’ve been sleeping too peacefully lately.)
I think I blocked that film from my memory. 🤣 Thanks a lot, now I have to go rewatch it. 🙄
It was a short in a nearby outlet (in the next room!) Never would’ve figured that out.
Hmm…by blimp, you say? 🤔
FWIW, I liked your “micro hole punchinator 6500” joke. 👍
When I went to buy more, the Rain Bird description explained it a bit.
I’ve used a Mac since forever. But I started using FOSS apps. Then I created a Hackintosh, until it borked. Then I installed ZorinOS and almost didn’t need to fix the Hackintosh. I did fix it, but Zorin convinced me that Linux is legit and I’m going all in on it.
Irrigation thingie
What’s this thing inside my drip irrigation tube? 🤔
YSK: If you work hard enough, your work will .’ And that’s not true.
Marvel star Anthony Mackie says success has as much to do with luck and connections as with talent. Highly successful people like Mark Cuban agree.
Put simply, being in the right place at the right time, and having connections, can be as important as having the skills and experience.
I never see much love for ZorinOS, but I find it a very solid replacement. I still use my Macbook for certain things, but I am slowly moving away from even that thanks to Apple’s spying and whatnot.
Oreo’s have had all their flavor sucked out of them through enshitification—and to make you eat more to feel satisfied.
Go to any grocery store (like TJ’s) and just buy “Sandwich Cookies.” THEY taste like Oreos used to.
(But, you have to eat them fast as they degrade quickly like actual food, something Oreos isn’t.)
Agreed. I know people who own rentals and barely make enough to cover the cost of constant repairs. Rental properties are only lucrative if yer a piece of shit landlord. People probably make more money offering courses on how to do it than actually doing it.
TIL about Waiting Mortuaries
A waiting mortuary was designed to confirm that dead people were truly deceased. To alleviate the fear of being buried alive, recently deceased were housed for a time in waiting mortuaries, where attendants would watch for signs of life. A bell was strung to the corpses to alert attendants of motion. It's erroneously believed that this was the origin of the phrase "saved by the bell", but the phrase really comes from boxing.
I told people, he’s just gonna back up the truck and drain this country.
Reminded me of this story about Facebook bots creating their own language: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/07/28/fact-check-facebook-chatbots-werent-shut-down-creating-language/8040006002/
NetNewsWire is open-source, IIRC.
…and couple of failed relationships as an adult.
SocialFixer would help.

Overhead light shorted?
My wife turned on the wall switch and the pendant light over our dining room table went out. The fuse outside didn’t blow—none of them needed to be reset. I checked for power in the light’s hanging cord, but nothing. I pulled the wall switch to check for power and nothing there either. Thoughts?
IRS ignores churches that are blatantly breaking the law.
For nearly 70 years, federal law has barred churches from directly involving themselves in political campaigns, but the IRS has largely abdicated its enforcement responsibilities as churches have become more brazen about publicly backing candidates.
Americans Are Fond of the Bible, Don’t Actually Read It
Americans have a positive view of the Bible. And many say the Christian scriptures are filled with moral lessons for today. However, more than half of Americans have read little or none of the Bible. Read More
This study is from 2017, but I suspect the numbers are even worse now.
Open source auto-correct apps?
I love Digikam, but fixing photos is a lot of work. So I use Luminar NEO to get looks that would take hours I don’t want to spend. Is there an open source alternative to Neo? Something that supports LUTs, presets, etc? Thx.
Wasting water with tankless heater
It takes a few minutes for my tankless water heater to warm up, so we end up wasting a lot of water in our shower. Is there a way to avoid this? A friend mentioned a “comfort valve” or something? What is it and how does it work? Or is there another solution? Thx!
