I don’t usually install major Apple OS updates on launch; there seem to be major bugs often enough that I try to wait until the first bugfix release.

I haven’t finished the book, but The Wall Street Journal Guide to Information Graphics is also a good read on the subject.

I counted backwards once and figured out I was conceived the same month as my parents’ anniversary. I thought I might’ve been the result of their anniversary trip to Jamaica, and for some reason that made me uncomfortable knowing that. A few years later they were talking about the trip and that they didn’t know my mom was pregnant at the time. So thinking more it made sense that I was actually probably from a week or two beforehand, but then that means mom was drinking while pregnant because she didn’t know (although I’m assuming that early doesn’t have much impact).

This is fantastic! I was just trying to set up my kid on a computer and the old way was seeming too clunky and slow, and she wanted to do something else so we never finished it.

In case you’re like me and knew it was bad but couldn’t remember what it was, it’s when the embryo attaches outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Generally causes pain and bleeding and is very rare for the fetus to survive.

I think this would be both the best looking electric car and best looking Hyundai I’ve ever seen.

I first heard of these from the ValuJet crash, but didn’t realize until reading this that the canisters standing by for emergency use are right there in the overhead compartments next to the masks, and there are a whole bunch of them (one for each mask compartment).

My understanding is it can actually run on a pretty wide variety of fuels (in general; not every specific model can run on a wide variety).

I had a friend from college (female) who had some guy with the same name in Atlanta constantly using her email to sign up for things, like gym membership, dating sites, utility bills, etc. This went on for a decade at least. She even tried calling some of the companies to try and get his phone number. I’m not sure how she ever got it to stop.

Also, in certain training missions it was possible to shoot your instructor.

This would result in you being sent to the brig: Log in to your account, and for a week, all you get is a view from inside a prison cell, no game menus or options at all, rofl.

Hilarious! I guess adding permadeath to the game would’nt’ve helped with the recruiting mission, but this feels like it’s in the same spirit.

Is it still illegal in Edmonton somehow even though it was legalized in Canada nationally?

Thank you, I was trying to remember what that was called

I found some at Costco once, and they’re more comfortable than a normal T-shirt. Only seen them the one time, though.

(Rumors that Raygun’s husband was on the Olympic breaking selection committee have ultimately been dispelled by the Australian Breaking Committee, and historically, Raygun ranked first or second on Australia’s list of nationally-ranked B-girls from 2020 to 2023. The official Olympics site also has a detailed description of the rigorous process of qualifying to compete in the sport at the Olympics.)

My dad’s uncle had built a truck up like the original one by the mid ’90s. He had a farm along a river, including land on an island in the river, and could ford the river in his truck to reach the island (he could do the same in a tractor).

Question I’ve been meaning to ask: if I start with cloud can I move to self-hosted later? I’ve seen this before and it feels like a product I could make good use of, especially for getting tabs closed.

Caveat: Californians who add a driver’s license to their Apple or Google wallets must still carry their physical ID card as required by law.

What’s the point, then? I thought the reason for a digital ID was so you didn’t always need the physical one with you.

I still replay both every few years; finished Portal 2’s co-op with the kiddo earlier this year.

What kind of update does the Apple TV need?

I haven’t done any programming in over 20 years, but I think I can make a contribution to projects by trying to improve documentation, once I start using some projects
