That sounds so great. Do you know the device’s product name? Which library do you get this from? I’d like to try it out in my library.

Wow. Thank you. That was gross, but now it’s clean.

Wow, that’s great! Thanks for sharing

Does this have a name other than ‘a wave’?

Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts

‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ (2017) George Saunders. A bit late to this title but got restarted with Saunders after finding ‘A Swim in a Pond in the Rain’. Now I have to read/re-read all the Russian short stories but before that, I found a signed, hard-cover, first edition of ‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ at my local used bookstore! It’s a trip but I’m along for the ride.

David Eddings? I read him way back when I was a kid (~35 years ago). Think the series was called The Belgariad or Belgarion. The first 3-6 books were fun in a light yet captivating, magicy, fantasy way.

Ian Curtis (Joy Division), though that would probably screw up the timeline for New Order and all of 80’s music (not a dealbreaker).

Prince (obvs)

I’m on a Galaxy S7’edge’ that I really need to migrate away from. I don’t want the foldable, and I’m not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?

Both of these collections have more or less ‘dropped off’.

Menus are mostly printed take-out menus, though I swiped the in-house menu as well when I could. Now, most of the casual dining places have replaced menus with QR codes.

The grass clippings were just a snip of a memorable event (cousin’s college football game, first time solo camping, special event, new home, etc.).

Books, ephemera found in books, tree leaves, grass clippings, pencils.

Menus and matchbooks have been more challenging with changing times

This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.

Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.

The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.

Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.

As I understand it, there’s a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.

I’ve never heard of an archaeologist too scared of a new endeavor. (I have no friends and fewer archeologist friends.)

Congratulations! Please, do a TedTalk or something!

Does anyone have experience/thoughts about Mojeek?

I just recently learned about it and haven’t really explored it, but curious.

Thanks!

There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins

I wouldn’t be so quick to donate to CCDH.

Mike Masnick over at Techdirt has thoughts I found interesting. (and here)

Countdown to a certain segment of white Americans saying they are the oppressed minority, need their guns to fend off the ‘colored majority,’ and need food stamps… (I think this is already happening with some religious groups) (I’m white - but I do not hold these beliefs!)

It sucks migrating between instances right now. I’ve found no way to port my subscriptions from one instance to another. All of your subscriptions are saved on your current instance as websites, but to subscribe on you new instance they need to be formatted ![name]@instance Lots of work needs to be done
