…As was the fashion of the time.

Also, I did set my mom with an account on my immich server, but last time I had her phone iOS wasn’t playing nice with the automatic backup. I think maybe I’ll take another swing at this.

The grandmother (my Mom) is probably the 2nd most tech-savy person in the chat. She has dug in on this on my sister’s side. It’s not a huge deal. I’ve accepted that I just need to wait till the defaults change. Any video I really care about I make her send straight to my wife.

I had never heard of that, but I love how part of their sales pitch is the negative review from Fox News.

I’m not OP but I might as well be. My family has a group chat that exists almost exclusively to send pics/videos of the kids to each other. It’s a mixed group of android/iOS, so the videos come through with 12 pixels. I have begged and pleaded for every key to switch to telegram, GroupMe, Gchat, Facebook… ANYTHING!!

But they’re all on iPhone because they specifically don’t want to be tweaking or customizing anything in their phones.

You should keep a boomerang next to your kites. Then if it’s windy, fly a kite, and if it’s not, throw a boomerang!

Dr. Adolph Hutter.

I’m guessing that man has an immaculate signature that makes sure it’s super clear that there are two t’s and no l’s in his last name.

At work I have a standing desk, and the option to hop up into my tall chair. Is the moving desk better than this option? I’m guessing it is because my company is phasing mine out in favor of the moving desks… I’m just not sure I see the benefit. I switch between sitting and standing so frequently I feel like the whole team will get very annoyed with me if I had to be constantly cranking the desk up and down.

In America, I’ve seen nurses and diabetics use deciliters in reference to medication or concentration before.

Silver lining: It gave me the opportunity to “dislike” Jordan Peterson, which was not an opportunity I previously had.

I mean, I guess I always HAD the option, but there’s something to be said about having somebody serve it up on a platter like that.

Dang. Congrats on your sweet tangents! Every race I run, ESPECIALLY that kinda distance, my watch is always going to be a bit over.

…But at least it saves you from having to use quotes or escaping out the spaces with \

Mechanical Engineer here. Although, most of us are either kinda’ into tech, or kinda’ in cars. I’m definitely not into cars.

Whoa, wait… diorama maker? Is that a hobby or a side gig? Do you have examples you could share? I’m quite curious as to what adult-made diorama’s look like outside of something like DnD.

Even if you convinced me that PFAS are 100% safe and benign and absolutely never make it from the pan into our food…I’d still support banning them because of how nuclear they are to everybody involved with or living near, wherever they’re manufactured. Seems like a lot of unnecessary risk just for a slightly more convenient non-stick layer.

Subsurface

Its dive planning and dive logging software. It’s also the only software I’m aware of that can actually pull the data from my dive computer, which uses some crappy proprietary cable and software. The fact that subsurface exists and is automatically in Linux repositories is what finally allowed me wipe out my aging and barely functioning computer, and revive it with Linux.

Thanks a bunch for all that!

I guess technically, it’s still accurate to say, “if I can’t choose water…”

Good thing you CAN choose water though.

Everybody that is currently in a bath/shower.

Yowzers! I assumed 5%was “has ever experienced long COVID” or it would be heavily weighted toward older people or something. No, the numbers are a lot more evenly spread than I would’ve guessed, and the National average for CURRENTLY experiencing long COVID is like 6% or something… Wow…

It surprises me because I can’t think of anybody I know that complains of symptoms of long COVID, and I’m 38. It’s s not like my friends and family are all young , fit people who are too stubborn to show weakness. This data kinda shocks me.
