Agreed! My trusty little M1 air has been my absolute favorite computer I’ve ever owned. It’s just so darned capable and entirely silent. It does everything I need it to do and then some. I’ll upgrade sometime, but for now long live the wedge!

One thing I’ll say about the old model was that out of all the dating apps, Bumble was the only one where every woman who I met or even just messaged with could hold a conversation. That one requirement of them reaching out first set the bar, and I knew they were making the choice to speak to me out of all the other guys they were drowning in. I ended up with more dates through Bumble than any other app, and even made great friends with some people I didn’t romantically click with. Online dating is awful, or was for me, but Bumble was the least awful one of the bunch. The new model sounds not so great.

^^ An informative and very thoughtful comment ^^

Bookmarked!

Haaaaha, I thought you were goofin’ so I joined in 🙃

Make sure you have Octa set up right so you can log in with your organization’s team space in Jira using two factor. That way when you set permissions to users and groups with the local Steam lobby your leaderboard doesn’t get mixed up and you end up back in Confluence’s Bronze league. Diamond subscribers can set their own epics with access to special story point loot boxes, but you have to watch for them on the Steam sale page. It’s pretty simple, just read the process docs in Fandom.

I used the term ‘pursuant’ incorrectly for a long time. I thought it meant something like ‘things you do in order to achieve something’, like sweeping the floor is pursuant to getting the kitchen clean, vs the correct usage, which is either ‘in accordance with’, or ‘in a manner conformable to’. So a correct usage would be ‘sweeping the floor is pursuant to the procedure we set up to clean the kitchen’. Nice word, though. I like it.

Yeah, I usually use one for listening to news and podcasts in the morning. It’ll start with me in the bathroom, then follow me to the kitchen while I make coffee. It doesn’t live in the bathroom, but rather tag along with me. When showering I’ll hang it from a little hook up high. Sounds perfectly adequate for my purposes, though for listening to music as an activity unto itself I would choose a higher quality device.

Ooooh nice - that idea will definitely make it into the Starfinder campaign I’m gonna run

I just wanna listen to my audiobooks while on my morning walk without carrying my phone.

When the sharing crackdown on Netflix was announced I decided to cancel it and set up a recurring donation in the same amount to a charity I believe in. It felt pretty great. I’m about to cancel Prime, but I need to switch credit cards, which is kind of a pain. Prime isn’t really worth it to me anymore. Otherwise I only pay for the ones that have active shows I’m watching. Haven’t sailed the high seas in decades, and probably won’t start. Missing TV has been great for my hobby productivity 😆

implied Anakin & Padme meme 😆

Yeah, that was my experience as well as a Pixel user. That said, it didn’t take too long to just finally switch to Firefox, Nova launcher, and Duck Duck Go. Mostly painless, and I’m over 40 👴

Casmael’s Razor. Has a nice ring to it!

Looks great! Love the keycaps too :)

I live in one of those tall but small/narrow places with multiple sets of stairs - one thing I noticed within myself was a resistance to going up/down one or two flights of stairs just to put a thing in its right place. I put ‘drop zones’ at the base and top of stairs and I just grab whatever’s there on my next trip up or down. In between I completely forget about those things, but I see them again and pick 'em up when I’m headed up/down and then - well, I’ve got it in my hand so I might as well put it where it goes.

This works to put things in the right spot, but then I often forget the real reason I went up/down those stairs in the first place XD
