Alarm clocks are much less painful than dropping a kindle on your face!

Thank god it wasnโ€™t an iPad Pro or youโ€™d have a concussion.

It's fucking confusing as hell when Apple bills me for a movie rental 10 days after I rented it.

Not just you. I hate the new-ish layout. I preferred the old one with the much smaller thumbnails.

Instead now we get to scroll for a few kilometres to find stuff because thumbnails need to be the size of fricking billboards.

Finally sitting down to watch Clown in a Cornfield. Loved the book, and thought it would make a great movie.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were โ€œtoo many womenโ€ in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

Who the fuck wants to take a chance with diagnosis, prescriptions, or treatments by an AI that gets things confidently wrong over 40% of the time?

I wouldnโ€™t even trust an AI with MAID.

Simmering a massive pot with a rotisserie chicken carcass, 30+ chicken wing tips, and a large bag of veggie tops, bottoms and scraps to make some amazing chicken stock.

4 hours of simmering, strain, filter, and then reduce for another 2-3 hours.

There were people claiming they didn't know Rowling is a transphobic bigot when they voted for this crap.

Like, were they new to the planet?

You're going through reps faster than the Army of the Dead went through orcs in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Hope you get all your money back!

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O Iโ€™ve been told โ€˜no further payments will be issued.โ€™
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

Ask questions, and get wrong answers that aren't even related to the novel you're listening to.

See that small, moving splotch?

That's 3I/ATLAS, a comet that formed in a different star system, photographed from Mars orbit by the ESA Exomars Trace Gas Orbiter.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

Damn. This is amazing. ยฃ325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

How B.C.'s property tax system delivers big benefits to multimillionaires, and why some say it needs to change B.C.'s property tax system is uniquely generous for wealthy homeowners. Some people think that should change. Find out more.

Why is @davidebybc.bsky.social letting multi-millionaires and billionaires defer property taxes on homes worth up to $43 million?

Itโ€™s costing the province a ton of money while helping multi-millionaires and billionaires who donโ€™t need financial help.
