@odd I think this is the best solution. We've been hearing about recycling plastics for decades, it never quite happens and the problem keeps getting worse. Time to move away from plastics.

@ChrisJWilson True. Certain inefficiencies are built into government at all levels, on purpose. (ie. 30 or more days for public comment on new rules, gov't business being conducted in open, public meetings, asking for bids from contractors, etc) These delays can be frustrating to someone coming from the business sector because in gov't everything takes so long to do, but they serve a purpose and help weed out backroom deals. It also helps weed out public fads, which come and go, and sometimes don't look so smart after a year or two.
@cheribaker That looks great.
@manton A quote I like:
Because creation is #resistance. Making things is additive. And in a subtractive time such as this, you must balance the void with its opposite. That is an act of defiance. And we need more defiance.
-- Chuck Wendig
@odd Since English is really a pidgin language (2 - 3 languages haphazardly bolted together) we always blame any English language weirdness on the French. Because French.
@JohnPhilpin If they were just tracking their cheese using blockchain this would not have happened. Ever. Heh.
Second thought: nobody is trying to steal Velveeta. Just saying.
@chrisaldrich Great article. It makes it far less daunting for someone to get started on typewriter repair.
@chrisaldrich That's a beauty. Congrats.
@mitchw Agreed. Newer motels don't even have writing desks in the rooms anymore.
@odd Fog is always a nice touch for detective stories.
@mitchw I've been thinking about how much I miss picture post cards, including the ones every motel used to give you for free.
@mitchw I'm no longer in the Apple fold but when I was years ago it was decent. Google News was good but like with all Google apps, it's spying on you.
MSN (mobile web) is terrible. You can only read two news articles before it starts demanding you download the app.
Yahoo News (mobile web) actually works. At least it gives you an overview of the news and it's free and not an app. It's not as good as Yahoo News was 20 years ago but nothing is.
@pimoore Very sorry for your loss.
@adders Great headline. "Get a grip." Is icing on the cake. heh.
@vincent This is really cool. I hope it works great for you.
@JohnPhilpin Too much electronic tech in cars. Next time I buy a new car I'm going to look for the lowest tech, dumb car I can find. I want my 1960 Studebaker Lark back.
@JohnPhilpin @pratik @SimonWoods Bah! Geeks and tech reviewers tend to be youngish. Hearing loss isn't even on their radar - yet. Wait till they get old and they will understand, and talk, about hearing aids. (An important topic, hearing loss, but not fun.)
My worry with any hearing aids or vision correction by Apple and/or Meta is getting trapped in their insidious, diabolical walled gardens.
Waves cane ...
@vincent You are not alone. I look at my blogs thinking I should write something, anything, and I go all lethargic. Drat.
@mitchw RFK, Jr. Collecting his first roadkill?
@crossingthethreshold I used Camino and it was good. My first Mac OSX machine came with a crude version of MS Explorer of all things and was the only browser available for OS X. When Camino finally came along I jumped on it.
@Manton this was new to me. I went to manually cross post an untitled MB post to Xtwitter which was 13 characters too long. The posting dialog box on Xtwitter had the Post button faded out and there was a warning from Xtwitter that I had to upgrade to Premium for longer posts. Seems like they are cracking down, trying to push Premium X memberships. Just FYI.
@petebrown Congrats! Nice find.
@SimonWoods My condolences on the coffee.
@pimoore Excellent.
@JohnPhilpin It does sound fake, but then I found this:
