There has to be some way we can over fish the hell out of Asian Carp. Dog food? Cat food? Human food, process and sell it to cultures that like carp?
Why I Won't Watch the Trump Impeachment
Although I’ve caught bits of the Trump impeachment hearings on the radio (NPR) in the car, I can’t bring mys...Green Dragon Apples I saw them in the store for the first time so tried a couple. Very sweet. Too sweet for my taste. Juicy grainy texture. Deep pear-like flavor. I like apples with some tartness to them, but if you like sweet you might like.
I just got reminded why I don’t like Blu-Ray: it’s because all the Blu-Ray players suck. That simple. The whole Blu-Ray format sucks. Steve Jobs was right to be wary of it when it came out. I’ve had 3 players, 3 brands, over the years and they all sucked. Back to DVD.
Where can I buy a Linux Computer?
Most people who want to use Linux take an old Windows computer and install Linux on it. That is certainly a good option...I’m finally going to buy a Blu-ray player. I’m looking for simple, quality, durable. I’m assuming backward compatability with regular DVD’s. Any suggestions? Any type I should avoid?
Okay #nwindiana who’s the joker that ordered snow, wind and cold all at the same time?
This is a good Twitter thread about using Web Panels in Vivaldi web browser. One use I can see for my own use is to make a Panel of my Pinboard bookmarks. Check that thread for full instructions.
Hillary Clinton had her “vast right wing conspiracy,” and Trump has his “deep state” conspiracy. Both of those are small beer compared to the “eclair shortage conspiracy” I’ve just made up. The cool case has been “broken” at the supermarket bakery for 3 weeks and eclairs, when available, have shot up in price from 3 for $5 to $2 each. The other supermarket in town didn’t have ANY eclairs.
Something dodgy is going on and the eclair cartel is behind it. Watch your back.
Pinebook Pro vs. Chromebook
At US $200 the Pinebook Pro looks like a really good (and cheap) alternative to a Chromebook. The Pinebook Pro can run m...Privacy search engine DuckDuckGo has a couple of privacy newsletters. I’ve only subscribed to the Privacy Weekly one and I find it useful and interesting.
Top 10 Cloud Storage Linux Providers Decent list.
First Impressions Ubuntu Linux 19.04
It’s been awhile since I used Ubuntu Linux, one thing Ubuntu has going for it is a lot of software in it’s &...Any suggestions on a good category name for just longer posts other than “Longer Posts”? I could say “Essays” but that is a little pretentious for me. “Words by the Bucket” is too long, “Posts with Titles” is too techie, “Bloviation” hm, closer but requires dictionary.
These 5 alternative social networks are the cure for Facebook fatigue - Fast Company Hm, one of these helps you migrate your stuff off of Facebook, that’s interesting.
I just blocked NYTimes on Twitter. All their stuff is behind a paywall anyway. I used to be a subscriber, but when I went to cancel I had to call them on the phone. They took my money online they could let me unsubscribe online too, but no. They burned a bridge with me.
I just wasted 45 mins. trying to turn on the backlit keyboard. Turns out, my new computer does not have a backlit keyboard. My bad. So I ordered a USB light thingy. Sorted but I’m still mad at myself. #oldpeopleproblems #wavescane
It never fails: everytime I get a new computer and sit down to configure it, either the Wifi goes down, the cable internet goes down or something. Today, the Vivaldi.com website is partly down so I can’t download the Vivaldi browser (my first task.) I feel like Charlie Brown.
A couple of weeks ago I updated my iPhone XR to iOS 13. Noticed things like Mail started to get slow and even a bit buggy. Just updated to the newest version of iOS 13 and lots of bugs seem better. It looks like Apple is getting back on track.
Gah! Installed routine updates on Linux laptop. Restart. Now laptop won’t connect to WiFi. I’m on the emergency bridge using iPad which connects to WiFi. Fortunately full life support. Shields up, calling in redshirts.
It’s not just the Federal Gov’t that can do things to help prevent climate change, US States can pass laws discouraging suburban sprawl and encouraging infill development. Encourage greener housing standards. Also, quit building new highways - repair what is already built. Combating climate change does not mean you have to spend a lot of taxpayer’s money. These will actually save money or cost nothing.
Autumn: the leaves turning and falling. Now what we need is a good, sustained, 40 mph West wind to blow those suckers out of my yard.
