For sure. It’s crazy popular here, but I never much cared for it.

Sadly never came up.

Haven’t been to Harper’s Ferry in forever. It’s beautiful. I should probably take a day trip up this fall.

There’s good ones, and there’s the ones you can buy at the gas station, lol. If you’re ever in the area, I can recommend some good ones.

A couple weeks ago a bunch of friends from college came in for a semi-annual get together. The ones from out of state were all craving pepperoni rolls. I begged them not to buy anything from a gas station / convenience store and to let me hook them up.

I showed up the next day with $100 worth of these super bougie artisanal rolls from a local place. They were a hit.

One of the few places I’m proud to represent my home state: Pepperoni rolls.

I generally dislike editorialized headlines (when used as post titles) but this is the exception. Nicely played.

I noticed that, too. I think it’s just the lighting, color balance (it’s got a heavy yellow tint), and the sharp focus only on Briones’s face that’s making it look off. Pretty sure it looked the same in the episode.

Or maybe Briones wasn’t available to shoot that scene and they filmed it with a body double and added her face on in post? I don’t think I’ve read that, but it wouldn’t be unheard of.

Lol, I was gonna say:

If you’re Worf, “Whil Whheaton” is also acceptable.

(Just paying this forward from the last time I made this mistake and someone had to correct me)

Wil Wheaton.

That’s actually closer to real poor than I thought, but I know people who live comfortably on way less. Guess he’s just gonna have to give up the avocado toast until he pulls himself up by his bootstraps.

I’m largely guessing here, but I’d venture he’s just “rich person broke” which is still wealthier than most people will ever be. Again, just a guess.

This piece of shit will appeal all the way to our corrupt SCOTUS and get this nullified. I hate this timeline.

Probably, but that is yet to happen. Until then, join me in just reveling in the headline for a while.

It’s getting long in the tooth (pun intended), but the T-Rex scene in Jurassic Park where it attacks the cars still holds up.

Damn it, Seven, those were my cheesecakes in the mess hall fridge. They even said “Janeway” on the side.

Not sure about Android, but on iOS, when one scans a QR code it shows the web address on the screen that the user then taps on. For the average user, I doubt that they are going to question what the URL is before following through to the website.

Android does the same. The problem is most of those QR codes are encoded short links which tells you nothing about where they’re taking you.

https://short.link/au1034gha could take you to a PDF on the restaurant’s Wordpress site or it could take you to malware or somewhere else you really don’t want to go.

In that case, I blame the people generating the codes for using URL shorteners. My org uses them in flyers for the public, and I always have to chastise them and re-create the QR codes because they run the URL to our website through bit [dot] ly. 😡

I used to work with a guy who was a dead ringer for Bill Bailey both in appearance and personality.

Yeah, same.

I think the worst issue I’ve had was when I was using a chainsaw to cut up a fallen tree. Phone was in my pocket and a chunk of wood somehow made its way into its USB port and was such an absolute perfect fit that I almost never got it out of there lol.

Weird. Other than how it used to choke when there were conflicts (and all uploads stopped until that was fixed) I haven’t had any issues like that. Guess I’m just lucky.

I’ve been using some USB-C cords for 5 or 6 years now and the connectors are still going strong. They’re way more reliable than micro-USB which seemed to wear out after a few months.

Your go-to universal cord can charge your phone, earbuds, vape, notebook, video-converter, beatmachine, microphone, gamepad etc.

This has been life changing in all the best ways. The bonus is that power banks have kept up and most good ones support power delivery, which has been amazing for keeping my laptop powered when I’m working in the field.

I think my biggest gripe is the wildly varying feature sets of both cables and ports. I can understand e-marked cables for different wattages, but all cables should support video and all USB-C ports should at least indicate if it supports video output. I’ve spent way too long troubleshooting docks and portable monitors simply because I accidentally grabbed the wrong cable.

I’ve had pretty good experience with Nextcloud’s instant upload. The only time I’ve had it shit the bed was ages ago when it would occasionally get stuck on a conflict, but that hasn’t happened in a long time. Pretty much all of my image folders (camera/DCIM, Screenshots, Downloads) get synced. The only annoying thing was when apps would suddenly change where they download to and I’d have to reconfigure yet another sync folder, but I can’t really fault NC for that.

Mine is set to upload and keep a local copy and only do a one way sync (phone to NC). Not sure if that causes less issues than a 2 way sync or deleting the local copy after upload?
