My sense of direction and route memory are complete dogshit, and always have been. When GPS became commonplace it was a godsend for me. But some people are still assholes about it and give grief for using GPS for 95% of my driving. Especially older people.

I have noticed a few messages slipping through the past several weeks, whereas I used to get basically zero spam.

It’s a staple used in a fuckton of recipes in addition to being a go-to breakfast item. Many Americans stupidly ignore politics, but still pay a lot of attention to the prices of common goods like milk, eggs, bread, gasoline, etc. Folks are living hand to mouth because the billionaires hoard all the money.

If you return ‘too many’ items they may suspend or even ban your account. I’m not sure what the threshold is.

And these disruptions can be more than just an inconvenience. People can lose their jobs for being late. They can miss medical appointments and procedures.

Tariffs hurt America. The messaging is that simple.

Watch as we fuck up the messaging.

Same as you. I used to game a lot (too much) in my younger days. Now I use the computer to support my tabletop gaming hobbies, 3d printing, a little coding, and streaming.

Blender is incredible. I am no master by any means, but I use it all the time for 3d printing. And I’m blown away by what actually-talented people can do with it.

NAPS2. I go paperless as much as possible, but still have to scan stuff sometimes. It’s the GOAT for scanning.

It is a little strange. But even way back in the day we called PC software meant for user interaction “software applications”.

Michael Hobbes said the same thing, take it up with him.

Honestly I wish everyone spoke as clearly and articulately as gay men. Mumble and mangle your words together, and dumb down your vocabulary to sound like the typical straight dude. Think of yourself as a kid in school, the teacher just called on you, and you really don’t want to answer.

I’m an avid indoorsman. One of my best friends is too, fortunately. I almost never get cabin fever (though it does happen).

Winters for me feels like home turf. My favorite activity is tabletop gaming with friends. When I can’t do that, I love reading books and watching videos. Occasionally I’ll play Steam games, but I spent enough of my youth on that, so it’s way down the list of choices.

I also like to try out new recipes. I’m a better cook than baker, but I do some of both. And I really enjoy playing with our two dogs. They teach the stupid human how to be in the moment.

I’m a boring but happy guy when left in peace.

I use bullshit answers for these, and save them in the notes section of my password manager.

Google voice is hit or miss. It’s worked for a lot of smaller sites for me, but the bigger / more corporate it is, the less likely it seems to work.

Boot scrapers.

Coathooks, drawer handles, book ends, door stops, gardening or tent stakes.

Been using Fastmail for a few years now. I really like it.

Took me way too long to figure this out, but I finally did. I now actually own my e-books, DRM-free.

Assuming I’m given time to brush up on it, math probably. Algebra, Geometry, and Trig. I was good at those and enjoyed tutoring math when I was in college. Calculus is awesome but I’m too dumb to teach that to anyone.
