There as a time when Macs were more expensive, but you knew you were getting good hardware. Now they're just more expensive.
My current MacBook Pro has defective speakers that crackle. I took it into the Genius Bar and they told me it would be $700 to replace them because of they way they're intgrated.
So I think I'll just use this thing into the ground and get a Framework for my next machine. Replacement kit for those speakers? $19.
A dominatrix's boudoir is known as her inner spanktum -- or, in the case of the Dominatrix Supreme, the Spanktum Spanktorum.

For those interested in #romance book covers, @peterdrake sent me this nifty visual essay he found in the Data is Plural newsletter: What does a happily ever after look like? from Alice Liang.

The Google Sheet with the data is also kind of fun to play with and has later thumbnails for the covers.

When my wife texts me “I am craving something but I don’t know what,” it means I’m going to make a cake.
I can’t, though, just jump to “do you want cake?” First we must dance around it. I must offer many other options, which she considers and then discards. Finally only cake is left and she asks for cake.
That’s usually about the time the oven is done preheating.
Finally tried out Daybreak solo. It's quite good. The rulebook and graphic design are unusually clear.
Huh. The "upside-down" fire building technique (kindling on top of the logs) actually works. #fire
Drone delivery of defibrillators
"Drones were used to deliver AEDs in 55 cases of suspected cardiac arrest in the research study. The delivery occurred before an ambulance in 37 of these cases, accounting for 67 percent, with a median lead of 3 minutes and 14 seconds."

Look, I know the DCCC needs money to campaign, and I'm glad they're no longer blacklisting progressive primary challengers, but do they really think they're going to get more donations by sending out multiple emails per day?
Fighters of the Pacific is a clever game chronicling the rivalry between Captain Cheekbones and Lieutenant Hōbone.
We've played each of the first three scenarios twice, swapping sides for the second game. In each scenario, the same side won both games, raising questions about balance.

Listen, those bells are attached to the horse's harness so it goes without saying they jingle all the way. If they stop halfway through a trip something has gone horribly wrong

one day I'll come to terms with the fact that nothing I ever do with a computer will persist for more than a moment or ever go away

Do I know anyone here who does scientific illustration, especially in the Northwest US? If so, I might have an opportunity to pass along. Feel free to DM and forward if you know of someone.

This type of thinking is precisely why we can't have nice things. It's a terrible idea that only contributes to polluting the internet. It's nothing to be proud of but rather something to be ashamed of. I really hope Google removes all of his sites from the search.

The new puppy will sleep in a crate in the basement.
We'll leave the crate open but she has to sleep in the basement.
She can come upstairs but cannot go on the furniture.
Ok, she can go on the couch, but not the bed.
She can occasionally sleep on the foot of the bed, when it's cold.
Move over dawg.
