I’m not in a swing state but I still get a decent amount of political spam. It’s mostly random PACs sending clickbait texts asking me to donate. Every so often I get a text from a candidate running in a completely different state and wonder where they got their lists.

to: Dr. Jækel Hydensen and Family would be better in English.

We sometimes send things to “The Hydensen Family” but that does seem to assume that the heads of the family have the same last name.

There’s a place near me called Just Salad that has several posters on the windows stating the sell more than salads.

No modern grains: find the original wild versions of wheat, corn, and rice and only process and eat those.

Indiana pronounces their Monticello the same way

I was a two block walk from where the 135 went express and my work was a two blocks from a bus stop. The red line took longer because is was a >10 minute walk on each end. The brown line stopped closer to my work but still took longer than the bus (without traffic).

I would usually check the traffic on LSD before heading home and if it was really bad take the L, in the morning traffic was usually not bad enough to where the L was faster.

I had a 20 minute biking commute from Lakeview to the very north area of the loop but it was 30 minutes on an express bus or 45 minutes on the L door to door. A 20 minute door to door transit commute is lucky.

I was put on the 24th floor of an office building with a desk facing the window while the company I worked for renovated our 10th floor office. It was really cool, there was a small hawk that liked to hang out on the window ledge and I had a nice view. When the renovation was done I was moved back to a cubicle with only florescence lights.

The official app won’t work with my instance (pixey.org). Pixeldroid does through

As an amateur photographer, I’m still hoping for a Flickr resurgence. Instagram is so restrictive.

I recently bought and then returned a used Verizon pixel 8 because I couldn’t unlock the bootloader or even add a non Verizon eSIM.

My library estimates I’ll be able to read it in 7 weeks, so thanks for the future surprise I’ll forget about until then.

Did you move your videos section? Mine is at the top (but I’m also on mobile)

I have, it works better on Fedora than PopOS or ubuntu. There’s actually a fix for the 17 inch version of my laptop in the main kernel, but it explicitly mentions the full model number so doesn’t apply to my 13 inch version. I spent a long time trying and failing to figure out how to build a kernal with a patch for my model.

I switched to Linux on a laptop of mine because an update to windows caused it to not boot.

Now I get to deal with my keyboard backlight not working, sometimes the keyboard freezing on resume, my Bluetooth not connecting on the first try, and my wifi sometimes not working, but it boots fine every time.

The android version was awful from the start

They had one of them in my neighborhood and it only stocked the most popular books (on amazon) which you already get delivered to you in an hour or two. It seemed pretty pointless.

I basically need to stick this xkcd chart next to my computer or I’ll spend days creating something that saves me minutes per years.

Although sometimes it’s fun to automate things just for the hell of it.

And you are asked to add more fields and buttons, but the interface was made in a very old version of visual studio and it breaks something every time you open it up in the editor.

That’s what the salt in Trapani is for…
