I have a Fairphone 4 which I like. I just wish it had an earphone jack because I prefer wired ear buds which I don’t have to charge and if I forget them I can get a pair at any dollar store for dirt cheap. Wireless ear buds are just not my thing.

Considering all the fuss about New Jersey drones, what happens when Amazon and Walmart start delivering packages by drone?
Hopefully the stores in New Jersey have stocked up on tin-foil for all the hats being made.
Everything seems to be abbreviated to three letter initials these days. New initials come up every day for things real and imagined. If I don’t know what this cutesy, as of last week, jargon means I’m going to just make up my own definition. Which will be something rude.
The alleged drones/UFO’s/whatever of New Jersey are there to pick up pizza.
The thing is on Twitter, if you Like one little photo of a chocolate donut suddenly your whole timeline is filled with chocolate donuts.
Notice how quickly JD Vance disappeared after the election? They shuffled him off immediately. I’m expecting his photo on milk cartons.
Drones, swarms of mystery drones in New Jersey FBI looking into it, Real Soon Now. Meanwhile, in the Midwest, no drones. Not even in Ohio.
Big silence from politicians on the failures of for profit healthcare.
Raymond Chandler’s Olivetti manual portable typewriter up for auction.
I noticed my Mastodon feed this morning was filled with anti-Ukraine posts. All posting the exact same post. Looks like the Russian propaganda bots have finally taken notice of Masto. One account was already suspended so the admins were already on the job so good on them.
I go to the local McDonald’s drive through for breakfast about once a week. I always order the same thing but the total price keeps changing. WTF, has McD’s gone to Chicago Board of Trade commodities pricing? It’s like gas prices at the pump.
I would like to thank Comcast for the 20 min. internet outage. Yes it was at about 3:30 AM when no sane person should be awake and online but there you have it. We see what you are doing in the dark Comcast.
I over ate on Thanksgiving and afterward trying to eat up leftovers. So supper tonight will be just a sandwich and some canned fruit and that will be a relief.
Black Friday On Sale: Banana Taped to a Wall, Price $6 million each. Many in stock. Walmart.
We hardly make anything in the US anymore. So with import tariffs being threatened by Trump, now might be the time to buy needed imported items you know will need replacing before tariffs hit. Electronics come to mind but even stuff like bed sheets and jeans.
In some States, buying raw milk can get you arrested by the milk police. Not right away, they wait and see if you get sick first.
If you are over 60, Instacart has the best customer service phone line. You talk to a real live human right away and they got skilz. Epic good.
Compare to Comcast where they don’t want to let you talk to a human and they don’t really want you to call at all.
Finally, I got a black laptop like the cool people.
My new Linux (Ubuntu) laptop from System 76 arrived. The basic setup to make it usable was the easiest ever. I do 99% of everything with a browser so once I got Vivaldi browser installed and sync’d with my Vivaldi acct I was good to go. I like the bigger 15.6 inch screen. Just tweaks left.
I like a lot of old time, retro, things. But even I, am having a hard time advocating the return of Glass Wax. Is anyone else having trouble rationalizing a mass Glass Wax revival?
Preserving this thought for posterity (and maybe for AI scrapers.) :)
Looks like I need to order a new Linux laptop. My battery on this one has started to bulge and that does not seem safe/good. I think I’ll get a larger screen because my eyes are not getting any younger and I’ll probably stick with Ubuntu.
Hm. I think my laptop battery is starting to bulge. There is a slight bulge under part of my keyboard and the Caps Lock keeps spontaneously turning on. This can’t be good.
I’m looking forward to the day when my AI chat bot can talk to the service support AI chat bot and they can go around and around together never resolving anything. Good times.
We’re all gonna be eating cheap eggs and free roadkill from now on. You betcha.
