My old ring is in a box ready to go to electronics resell/recycling. Maybe it needs a meeting with my friend Sledge before it goes out, so it can’t hurt anyone again.

You should lock any app which you don’t want casual users on your phone to access.

children notwithstanding, what other users are people letting use their phone? No one uses my devices but me.

I usually had the fastest CD burner available. Bought my discs in 50 packs.

Neither of our cats seem to have the catnip liking gene, but they still go out of their mind for churu.

There’s the accelerated bleaching of coral reefs. The increasing rate of back beach erosion especially on the west coast of the US (now USGIS estiames say the Pacific Northwest won’t have any natural sand beaches left by 2100). The rapid weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Jet Stream. Mass-crab migrations started a couple years ago due to warming ocean temps. The Brazilian Rain Forest is probably past the point of no return. The Great Salt Lake might not make it 2040 (instead of 2100 - 2150) without another shift in weather patterns. Insect armageddon has happened way faster than anyone thought. And the massive ramp up in seasonal forest fires in North America has gotten bad far faster than expected.

When I was getting my bio degree in the late 90’s, early 00’s we learned a lot of worst case scenario models for climate change, many of which seem to be coming to pass. Those scenarios were for ~2080 - 2100.

Leaving NATO is part of Peter Thiel’s technofeudalist checklist. They want our overseas bases closed to end our status as a superpower, to hasten the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. And they want the money held by other nations be be transferred to the 1%.

I did a brief stint there in the 00’s after a photo of me ended up on Cliff Yablonski Hates You.

Bears who go bed shopping are excellent cooks. Was that not the lesson of the story?

There’s a missed opportunity for a dad joke in the first panel.

“I’m depressed”
“Hi Depressed, I’m Freud”

Respect my -15, or I’ll be back with my -9

Yeah, you look things up until they become memory. Or at least you learn what GNU app is going to give you what you need and then you use man pages.

I mostly know what I’m doing in Linux because I’ve been using it 30 years.

You’re just getting stuck because you don’t have an IQ of 420, like the quiz said I have after watching some ads and giving them my SSN.

We just need to update them for the modern times. For save the icon would be a storage datacenter. For dialer it would be an nsa data center. For browser it would be a google ai data center.

3.6. Not great, not terrible.

That’s not to avoid cutting pepperoni. There was no reason to shape the 2 pieces at the top like that… other than being a pizza sadist.

I assumed a mean dish was one that was right in the middle of the statistical data points for that dish. Did math lie to me?

Yeah, I hadn’t really considered writing an integration but this is more general purpose than my universal remote.

My hope is that I can use custom sentences to send values to a script or service that, in-turn, will trigger an appdaemon app where I can do all the work in python. I’m not sure about returning the calculated value as a response though.

That’s how I built my harmony hub replacement.
