I’m not in a swing state but I still get a decent amount of political spam. It’s mostly random PACs sending clickbait texts asking me to donate. Every so often I get a text from a candidate running in a completely different state and wonder where they got their lists.

to: Dr. Jækel Hydensen and Family would be better in English.

We sometimes send things to “The Hydensen Family” but that does seem to assume that the heads of the family have the same last name.

If you’re in the US and on a carrier that supports stir/shaken and voLTE, Carrion can block (or silence) calls that fail verification. It can also block calls from a block list.

Earlier this year I had a connection in Doha, Qatar on my way to the US. I had to go through security twice even though it was a connection from another international flight (first was after getting off the first flight and the second was right before getting on second flight). Both times they took away all liquids, even those bought in the airport.

Do they test everyone’s shoes or do you just have to be extremely unlucky?

There’s a place near me called Just Salad that has several posters on the windows stating the sell more than salads.

Book ads are at least usually at the end of the book and for other books you might want to read. And they’re static. If internet ads were like book ads I wouldn’t have to block them.

My cousin couldn’t understand how I bought groceries after I sold my car. After telling him I walked three blocks to the store he asked how I bought groceries in winter. I told him I put on a coat and boots and walk three blocks to the store.

I love the ingenious solutions for ancient under floor heating.

No modern grains: find the original wild versions of wheat, corn, and rice and only process and eat those.

Did they not know that word can generate very convoluted HTML for them?

Indiana pronounces their Monticello the same way

I was a two block walk from where the 135 went express and my work was a two blocks from a bus stop. The red line took longer because is was a >10 minute walk on each end. The brown line stopped closer to my work but still took longer than the bus (without traffic).

I would usually check the traffic on LSD before heading home and if it was really bad take the L, in the morning traffic was usually not bad enough to where the L was faster.

I had a 20 minute biking commute from Lakeview to the very north area of the loop but it was 30 minutes on an express bus or 45 minutes on the L door to door. A 20 minute door to door transit commute is lucky.

I was put on the 24th floor of an office building with a desk facing the window while the company I worked for renovated our 10th floor office. It was really cool, there was a small hawk that liked to hang out on the window ledge and I had a nice view. When the renovation was done I was moved back to a cubicle with only florescence lights.

The official app won’t work with my instance (pixey.org). Pixeldroid does through

As an amateur photographer, I’m still hoping for a Flickr resurgence. Instagram is so restrictive.

I recently bought and then returned a used Verizon pixel 8 because I couldn’t unlock the bootloader or even add a non Verizon eSIM.

My library estimates I’ll be able to read it in 7 weeks, so thanks for the future surprise I’ll forget about until then.

Did you move your videos section? Mine is at the top (but I’m also on mobile)
