Yes boredom begets creativity. It’s so important to get out of the algorithm holes.

Airport gate announcements. Terminally unintelligible.

NetNewsWire on iOS has been awesome for years. Free and open source to boot.

It lives up to the hype. Great acting, amazing pacing, and so many fun scenes. I was slapping my knee when he fell off the roof, hit multiple branches and somehow got up only to get tasered.

Excited for CarPlay, but unfortunately after the app update I’m not seeing CoMaps available as a CarPlay icon one of my cars, but it does show up on my other car. This is on iOS by going to General > CarPlay > (car) > Home Screen Icons. I have 26 icons available on one car and 27 on the other, with CoMaps being the only difference. Any reason availability would be limited by car brand?

Edit: This was solved by a phone restart. Weird.

Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

+1 on Mystic Quest. I still get the battle song stuck in my head on a regular basis. Incredible that such a basic game had such a badass soundtrack.

By midday Monday, in a happy ending for the neighbors,

Nice.

c/vaporents exists and needs more love!

I wish we would tax the armies of Vancouver shoppers that pour over the bridges every day. It’s fucking ridiculous that they use those bridges, shop tax free, and vote against funding new interstate infrastructure.

196 days. Took a quick two night trip with the wife over the weekend. Dinner the first night was a big trigger, but we managed to pass it.

The next day we spent wandering a tourist area and then finding somewhere for lunch. I’m sure you all can imagine how difficult that was. She is on the same sobriety break and we both kept being honest about wanting to ‘cheat’. But, we played the tape ahead and talked about how we like getting better sleep, less stress, etc, and we managed to pass it again. The mocktail options these days are more enjoyable than I’d expected.

And that’s exactly what is coming to the US, since they think workers rights and unions are the problem.

They did set up in the mid-latitudes in Red Mars

Kill Lincoln and We Are The Union are pretty solid.

I can confirm places like Texas and Florida have much worse auto loan rates due to higher delinquencies. Northern states have better rates.

One possible reason is we don’t salt our roads in winter. Salt causes tons of rust on vehicles, but here you’ll see 1990 Hondas still looking practically new. People seem to drive their beaters forever.

There was still a “Pop” aisle at my QFC until at least 2014.

Great piece. Tech unionization is certainly one of the few paths to fighting this situation. Not just for internal developments at tech companies, but also for solidarity outside of work in building local resilience and contributing to FOSS projects.

Anything that was once illegal will have nicknames that survive into the future. For example, hooch.
