I’m a recent Kagi convert and I love it. I know most people would never pay for search, but for me that’s totally worth it!

Anyone calling Ukraine’s operation, long-planned and happened to come right after a massive Ru drone attack on Ukrainian cities, “an escalation” is being ridiculous. Ru only attacks, Ukraine only defends.

Today I was reminded once again why I dislike shopping for shoes online... I ordered 4 pairs of my usual size from 4 different brands and 2 were small, the other 2 - large. 😅 Now I'm starting a file keeping track of the size differences for each of the brands. :D

Всичко това се случва на фона на мрачните данни, според които България от години е на първо място в ЕС по тютюнопушене, като то обхваща 40% от населението при средно ниво от 25-26% за държавите от съюза. На първо място сме и по смъртност от употреба на тютюневи изделия...

"The Wheel of Time" TV show got cancelled but probably nobody cares www.theverge.com/news/673899/... The show was so bad, that I didn't even bother to watch Season 3. Some adaptations just shouldn't be made. Amazon are experts at bad fantasy - "The Rings of Power" is another very bad show IMO.

I have really mixed feelings about "On (Running)" shoes... On hand I really love the comfort with them, but on the other their durability leaves a lot to be desired, especially given their high prices. I had 3 pairs fall apart in 6-9 months, which is pretty telling. "Swiss engineering" my a**...

On a 13-14 inch laptop screen you really start to appreciate the need to keep line length up to 80 chars. That's that's the exact number of chars I can fit in an editor window with 2 side-by-side code buffers on my MBA 13.

A few months after I got the #HHKB I'm still trying to decide if I like it more than my long-time favorite the Leopold FC660C. I can tell you that I certainly like the layout of the Leopold more, but the rest is still up for grabs.
