Just enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by the Mahmoud family at their restaurant Arabian Palace here in Spokane. Dora Scott @inlander.com shared their story: www.inlander.com/food/the-mah...

The only flaw in my new laptop was the position of the function and control keys. To me, control belongs in the corner. I kept using the wrong key. I was thrilled to learn you could swap them in the BIOS!

Spokane's new double-decker buses look great!

Mother-in-law showed up randomly, which is strange. Glad she did. She was a couple steps away from being scammed hard. Classic indicators like "sent too much money" and "install this remote assistance tool so we can fix it in your online banking." She thought she was speaking with PayPal. 😩

⚑️🧢 I am going to try a grand experiment here on Bluesky, throw caution to the wind, and cross the Alpenglow streams. Meaning electronics + yarn content all in one account. Commencing seeking out and following my yarnies. 🧢⚑️

The local Planned Parenthood presents as a progressive organization, a symbol of the right to choose. But behind the scenes, employees are starting to unionize, pushing back against low pay and bad working conditions. The CEO responded by hiring a union-busting firm at the rate of $425 an hour.

Issue with some code I wrote was driving me nuts for days when I would come back to it as I had time. That is until I realized it wasn't the code at all. It was a mistake I made in the XML file that calls the code. Code was fine, it just wasn't running! 🀦

Every single video player on the web that doesn't do both spacebar pause and full player mouse click to pause (not having to click the little pause icon) is less than it could be.

Got a chance to try Emrys Beer & Mead Works in Liberty Lake. Their food and house brewed beers are fantastic. I had the loaded bratwurst and their Moonracer's Winter Warmer dark red ale. They are located next to the Centennial Trail for easy bike access. Website: emrysbeerandmead.com
