I honestly don't understand how people survive with just one small laptop screen for their computing. I have two 27" monitors and sometimes that's not enough 😅

As far as I can tell, the power supply on my Bambu printer just decided to buy the farm. Wonderful timing. And the wiki article for how to replace these things looks like a huge pain in the ass 🙃

Late last night, we heard a car engine idling outside for a bit, followed by a loud clanging noise. When we went out to look, we saw the car at the end of the street turning away. Didn't see what made the noise. Everything looked fine.

It's wild how quickly Google has given up on any semblance of caring about user experience. Google Maps used to be (mostly) great. Now it just says "turn right" with no street name or anything. No highway exit numbers.

I feel like this coincided with them removing the google assistant, but I regularly drive with the navigation voice turned off, so I'm not sure. It really sucks, though. No clue why they did this, but I assume it has something to do with letting AI write their products now, like Microsoft.

I know the plexiglass walls at check-in desks are entirely health theatre, but after 6.5 years it's pretty jarring to walk into the cancer center and suddenly see them gone Like, I know they did nothing, but MGH removing them as sickness season ramps up feels like really on-brand messaging for them

Man, I wish I could take NSAIDs. Dealing with swelling/inflammation after my procedure last week, and all I can do is Tylenol and ice 🫠 Stupid Crohn's

Anyone have experience using alternate assistants on Android? Setting reminders through Assistant has been a major boon to my ADHD management, so I really don't appreciate them ripping it away unless I give their AI access to all of my data...

Literally the only thing I care about is setting task reminders. I don't want to do anything else. Just yell at my phone to remind me of something at a given time, and have it show up under tasks on my calendar.

Ok, that was fun. With the exception of DRP (we never did a physical release) and Zoombinis (who knows where it is), I still have the original boxes/media, too 😅 I don't care that two of them are unplayable dead MMOs. I'm not throwing those away!

I am forever mad that we never got more of the story for Earth & Beyond. I think that was the first MMO I *really* played. There was an exodus to EVE when it shutdown, but it wasn't the same at all. I definitely had a Stargate thing going with the names 😅

"A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against CVS which you may be a party to" OK... "Submit a claim. You are entitled to UP TO $5" *squints at email* "or UP TO $10 if you do a bunch of work for it" Yeah, go fuck yourself.
