I always think this computer stuff is way more complicated than it actually is. I researched a service for like a month!! How to install it, examining how it will fit it in with my other services, common pitfalls and guffaws... All that hemming and hawing for a five minute install and config 🤦🏻‍♂️

To be honest, a 7% interest rate on my mortgage has radicalized me more than any social issue ever has. We need to ban banks.

it'd be pretty neat for local journalists to do something like a panel at libraries, community colleges, high schools, ect, on how national stories are affecting local areas.

Kinda silly, but i made my first shop "tool" today. I'm using this string-jar to level some blocks for a raised bed i'm building in our backyard. It sure feels nice to throw something together instead of fumbling with a ball of string or looking to buy something

Gov. Tony Evers of Wisconsin, a Democrat, used his veto power to increase school funding limits for 400 years longer than Republican lawmakers in the state had intended.

it is crazy to me that we have pundits, pollsters and democratic strategists staring directly at trump diving head first in a quagmire of a scandal and insisting that it is bad politics to make hay of it

Honest, a good take from the NYTimes on owning your technology as long as you can before replacing it. Drive it into the ground!!! I couldn't imagine spending workstation prices for a dang smart phone. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/t...

Anyone else's vet try to get you to bring in stool samples for your cat every time you bring them in? It's an extra charge, too. Can't help but think its a grift.
