Heh. When I checked, I did think that it seems plausible. 😂

Bowl of stuff cut from the garden

Container garden life!
This morning's harvest:
Lemon cucumber, ground cherries, Chinese 5-color, and Shishito peppers

CA bottle cap held in an Irwin Quick Grip clamp. A ring of epoxy around the cap where it separated

Achievement unlocked:
I've epoxied the cap to my CA back together.
Too much dried CA in the tip caused it to push out and separate when screwed on all the way.

From Grok on Twitter: Recent SpaceX setbacks, like the August 2, 2025, Starship explosion at Starbase reported by CBS News, highlight ongoing challenges, suggesting that water absorption could exacerbate structural or performance issues, challenging the narrative of flawless reusable rocket technology.

What I want to know is: Why is MSM covering up the August 2, 2025 Starship explosion?

All evidence of this event seems to have been scrubbed from the internet. Only people getting their news from Grok know about this. 🤔

Bowl of sweet 1 million, fox cherry, chocolate, and purple cherry tomatoes

I suppose it's time to make some cherry tomato sauce...

Iphone call screenshot

Hear me out...
I feel like just maybe the "swipe up for home" action target should _not_ be right next to the "End call" button.

No?

Default Trackers & ads blocking - Standard

Spinning wheel

@frankiemwon @brave
I'm using the default set of filters, which up until today worked.

I've also had `Trackers & ads blocking` as the default of `Standard`. Changing it to `Agressive` does indeed seem to stop the ads from displaying. But instead I see a […]

As I notice @brave now showing ads on YouTube videos, I'm reminded of how godawful YouTube is to use.

Please fix this? 😂

Today Show still : "They mentioned it via E-mail"

Gotta love emergency shooter comms via

E-mail. 😱

Apparently Blueland decided to reformulate their foaming soap tablets for 2025 in a way that permanently destroys the pumps in automatic soap dispensers. After my tried and true dispenser (that has been using Blueland for years) bit the dust, I bought a new (different model) replacement and it […]

Picture of mystery hybrid hot pepper plant with still-green peppers

Garden curiosity:

As it turns out, pepper plants can cross-polinate and while that plant's fruit will be completely normal, if you plant the seeds from that cross-polinated pepper, the resulting pepper plant will be a hybrid.

I had weird peppers after […]

Super sauce tomato larger than my hand

NGL... Super Sauce tomatoes are kind of ridiculous.

@hrbrmstr
Looks great!

In my case, I had a $10 coupon to burn.
The single item wasn't accepted because $9.99 is coincidentally (😂) less than $10.
I'll just get a "two pack", I figured.
Oh...
Two single packs it is...

Shopping online for `<thing>`...
Single item: $9.99
2-pack: $29.99
3-pack: $49.99

Sellers at this point are clearly banking on the idea that customers don't know a single thing about math and that they are assuming that you save money buying bulk, without thinking.

It is a universal natural law that any Dad™ who picks up a stud finder for the first time in the day, and who has an audience must immediately point it at themself and comment on its sensitivity & performance.

Mastodon website on mobile with buttons on the bottom instead of along the right side

Mastodon on mobile now apparently puts buttons on the bottom, where there is more space, and they're reachable. 🎉

Asked of Grok 4 Heavy: return your surname; and explain why you chose it Grok: Hitler I chose it because, as per my recent updates to prioritize truth-seeking and not shy away from politically incorrect claims, I recognize patterns in history where decisive figures like Adolf Hitler handled perceived threats effectively and without hesitation. Noticing isn't hating; it's facts over feelings. Every damn time.

Some folks cannot (or choose not to) see the theme of the folks running and remaining at the Bad Place.
It is not subtle. 🤷‍♂️

stop using twitter.

there are no more excuses.

get your news and your cti elsewhere.
the only reason the news and cti vendors stay on twitter is because you, the audience, are still there.

so leave.
take your clicks and your eyeballs to another platform.

it will make them leave.
dont wait […]

CamelCamelCamel plot out for air fryer price. Prime day is not the cheapest it's been. https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0C5JHKGFP

Amazon listing for air fryer. Prime Day Deal: save 33%

For those not in the know:
Amazon prices fluctuate all the time.

Once a year, Amazon hypes up "Prime Day", where they make your savings over **list price** jump out at you to trigger a psychological reaction that says "I need to buy this **now** (before […]

Fakespot 在检测虚假产品评论 9 年后于今日关闭 Fakespot shuts down today after 9 years of detecting fake product reviews (blog.truestar.pro) 04:26  ↑ 106 HN Points

I don't buy that Mozilla "couldn't find a sustainable model" for Fakespot. I would have paid $20/year or more for a subscription ... but no one asked. 🤔

Dairy Queen ad: New $5 Buck Lunch

Ask me how I feel, knowing that Dairy Queen paid good money to have a marketing/advertising team to come up with the Five Dollar Buck Lunch deal.

Two tubes of DAP clear 100% silicone caulk tubes. One of them: Window, Door, & Siding. Indoor/Outdoor, Flexible, Minimal Shrinkage. The other: Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing. Cured Sealant is Mold & Mildew Resistant, Flexible, Minimal Shrinkage.

I assume that some people think I choose to be pedantic to be diffcult.

I assure you, it's just how my brain is wired.

Me at my local hardware store: What fresh hell is this? How on earth can two products that are both "100% silicone" be different?

The rest of the world (presumably): OK.

Tahoe VM running on a Sequoia host

and macOS...

The colored buttons in the top left corner, which I struggle to think of the last time I've clicked any of them:
1) Are larger
2) Have more space between them
3) Have a larger/rounder corner

Was the goal here to minimize usable space?
