Just saw lemons priced at .98¢

I wonder if Verizon's gotten into the grocery business.

@🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄) A question about security pins:

My understanding is that the said pins are the key pins, not the driver pins, so if I'm gentle enough to not over set them, the shape of the pin should be completely irrelevant, right? I mean, they'd only pose a problem if they were pushed beyond the shear line, wouldn't they?

Wanted to know if I could set gelatin faster by putting it in the freezer instead of the fridge. This is the first paragraph of the first result I found on the subject.

When it comes to culinary creativity, gelatin is a versatile ingredient that can bring remarkable textures and flavors to our desserts, jellies, and savory dishes. However, those who have worked with gelatin often find themselves asking: “Will gelatin set faster in the freezer?” In this article, we’ll explore the science behind gelatin, how it sets, and whether using a freezer can indeed speed up the process.

That's a lot of reading for what the author knows damn well is a yes or no answer I'm looking for. I kind of understand why people like the idea of "AI summaries". Though I imagine this whole article was spit out by an LLM in the first place. Gotta keep people on the page as long as possible to drive up potential ad revenue, right?

Working on a simple #web site for a client, and I'm trying to balance keeping it from becoming a bloated mess of unnecessary code, and minimizing the amount of unnecessary work I have to put into it.

For one feature they want, I'm tempted to install #jQuery. It feels like unnecessary bloat, but it makes the process easier. How much overhead does it really add?

I live very close to a large German club.

As always, It's going to be a long (and loud) October.

Busting out #LibreCAD to design a logo for a client. Every time I use it I have to re-learn how. #AutoCAD has trim an extend commands to trim and extend lines. In LibreCAD, they're both trim for some reason.

I love #FOSS, but sometimes...

Open ai (capitalized like that) has just emailed me from a .ru domain, telling me that I need to update my payment details to continue using their "Premium" service that I never subscribed to.

I'd better get right on that.

I love how when PHP fails on this project it just gives me a blank page rather than an any kind of useful error message, essentially "something bad happened, you figure it out."

Also, testing in production is fun. 🙃

Watching a YouTube video about "fake foods" and the announcer was talking about how Velveeta isn't legally considered to be cheese, but "admittedly makes for a great queso".

Umm... who's gonna tell her?

YouTube just recommended for us a video about the transit system in the region I've lived in my whole life. It felt weird because the whole thing was footage of familiar places, which is not something I'm accustomed to in a random* YouTube video.

* Okay, not random because YouTube obviously knows where I live and that likely informs their algorithm.

So, I've recently discovered Tubi. Yeah, it's got ads, and I'm sure it's a privacy nightmare like everything else, but at least my ad-blocker seems to work on it.

This feels like a too-good-to-be-true scenario, which begs the question: what's the catch?

Welp, checked the mail to see that we got nabbed by a speed camera. This is the day that keeps on giving. Now I get to figue out how we're going to make rent again. :/

I know it's important to keep traffic under control, but these cameras feel like a cash grab when there are more effective (but less lucrative) methods available.
