I know it sucks, but the dev is actually rewriting this app from the ground up in a new environment, so it’s like starting over with a beta version. There’s still lots of bugs to work out, but he’s pushing updates pretty quickly, and was responsive to my bug report.

That’s the plot of the Black Mirror episode San Junipero from season 3.

And his tax returns.

And his healthcare plan. His big beautiful healthcare plan that is much better than Obamacare.

As a musician, most scenes with characters “playing” an instrument are ridiculous. I mean, they do all this research for rolls, but they can’t be bothered to figure how to put their mouth on the instrument and some basic things that make it look like they’re really playing?

Soooooo did you pass?

I also choose this guy’s……

Wait, I forgot where I was for a minute. Sorry.

“It’s a floor wax.”

“It’s a dessert topping.”

“It’s a floor wax.”

“It’s a dessert topping.”

My mother could carry a grudge like no one I’ve ever known, so I get it honest.

The gas station down on the corner. When I first moved here, I went there all the time because it was convenient. Gas, bread, soda, you name it, I would swing through there and pick it up. I stopped every single work morning and got coffee on the way to work. I started bringing my own insulated cup, so they charged me less. Then it was bought by a new owner, and he wanted to charge me more. Okay, it was still cheaper than if I used their cup and more convenient than making it at home - they provide the coffee, sweetener, creamer, and there’s no clean up on my part. One day I went in with a new cup that was the same capacity as the old cup. A different shape, but it held the same number of ounces. The owner said, “that cup’s bigger, I charge you more.” I tried to argue, but he didn’t budge, and he charged me the same amount as a large coffee in their cup. Now, I’m not stupid, I’ve worked in retail before, I know the largest cost to a cup of coffee is the cup, but I paid it, walked out the door, and never set foot in there again. That’s been eleven years ago, and I don’t plan to go back. I hope the few cents he greedily wanted over coffee was worth all the other lost sales.

I didn’t read close enough and thought you said TikTok. I thought to myself, “TikTok has reminders?!?”

You don’t know? Sheesh, what a failure. 😀

I’ve always said that insurance companies will spend dollars to figure out how to cheat you out of dimes.

Exercise on the elliptical. Ideally I find songs with a moving tempo, but not too fast, and I can sync up my elliptical running to the beat.

I walk into my house and start dictating to a speaker sphere what lights to turn on, what to set the thermostat to, and to turn on the tv. And she answers. Just like in sci fi movies.

I used Apollo on iOS. It wasn’t just the way it looked, and not just the way it worked, but it was the tiny things that made it superior. For example, one thing that I loved and haven’t seen on any other app is the way that it handled videos. While the video was playing you could put your finger on it and scrub it back and forth to fast forward/rewind. So intuitive, but I don’t know of another app - Reddit or Lemmy - that has that.

…on a public toilet seat. I ain’t touching most of them, much less sitting on them, so oh yeah, yeah, no.

I mean… I just found Lemmy. So there’s that. 🤷

Congrats on the wedding, and I wish you a beautiful future!
