Looks fun and useful! The GSD I test rode was very well done, I'm sure that's the bee's knees too!

My wife's grandma decided once that the grape jelly on the diner table was ketchup and started dipping fries in it; clarification was met with disdain and we let ourselves be convinced it was close enough from the fruit+sugar perspective.

Recently tasked to mock-up UI with the new in-house drag-&-drop UI builder...and no undo. Spent an hour on a set of screens, click delete on the wrong element, and a non-negligible amount of work just gone. When I asked about undo: "not yet in scope". Ugggh.

Yeah, Depeche Mode and Johnny Cash coming from very different places on it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona...

Yeah, but curiosity and buzz will get around to them, too thin-skinned and self-absorbed not to look.

Pulling the rug out from under the needy and impoverished, the starving, the sick and the dying, isn’t something a “Christian nation” would do. So, if that is what we’re going to do, what does that say about US?

Prominent religious figures orbiting Trump could’ve been enlisted to prime their congregants/etc. to be prepared to tithe to help with the important and life-saving work that these orgs have been doing. However, that has not been the case, and I can’t help but wonder “why not?”.

Recalling that the net worth of the inauguration attendees was something like $1.2 trillion (and those folks had ponied up millions of dollars as gifts to the transition team), it doesn’t seem a far stretch to believe this would’ve been feasible.

Prior to the election, and particularly during the post-election transition period, the administration could've been working with faith- and missions-based groups already using funds from USAID to prioritize moving their work from taxpayer funded to charitable and/or religious org funded.

Something I hope the bickering around USAID does for people, particularly Christians and other faiths, is to lay bare the lie behind the notion that the Trump admin identifies with or cares about people of faith, particularly Christianity, in any way that isn't using them as a step stone to power.

Can we have the White House Correspondents Dinner now? Work both of them over simultaneously and hopefully they self immolate together.

Even if Musk retreats from visibility, someone's gonna have keep Trump off Xitter since he can curate Trump's feed to his preference.

My comment elsewhere on the drones: the strategic aerial fnord reserve has collapsed, they've been there all along.

The last 5 followers all have been peddlers of psychoactive substances, which seems weird considering that I have nothing at all in my profile or posts that would draw that sort of attention.

Check if your library has digital access available you can take advantage of with your library card.

I love seeing reference to Illich and conviviality. Currently interested in refining how I process my various info-streams (i.e. RSS feeds for blogs, various social media). Any recommendations that reflect convivial qualities? I quickly googled Expertmaker, but was acquired it seems.

One and the same!

Would a written message in proximity to bedroom door such as "Hearing aids?" be a nudge that wouldn't upset?

Seasucker has a suction cup mount for trikes that's between $300-$400

Interested, though not so much "in the area". Improvement on a sneakernet for sure.

Don't know if this is something you care for or not, but LibGen's got it.

Think I found a blog of yours way back, had it in my RSS reader, then saw you via mutual on FB at some point and followed you there. Pleased to meet you!
