New theory: Trump is receiving kickbacks from the dynamic digital pricetag industry. Can you please leave my prices alone for even 1 week so I can actually get something else done?
I feel like a big ambiguity in most availability polls and conversations is "are we talking about when the meeting would *start*, or is it my total available time to be in the meeting?"
"Anti-depressant side effects differ depending on the drug, study finds" NPR is on it
It's very interesting to me how many people coming into our stationery / #fountainpen shop have said to me, "hey, is that a Framework laptop?"

The “age verification” and the “human identification” problem are the same problem. It upsets me to be around people who think they’re working on the first, but don’t understand they’re actually working on the second.

Me: I think I'll open this kitchen drawer.
Potato masher: The fuck you will.
After reading so many headlines that start with this, I'm left wondering if judges can just temporarily halt the Trump administration's.
RIP TiVo
You know, I love NPR dearly, but sometimes the headlines... "As birds migrate south, there's an invisible danger: glass"

This is still exciting in ways, but please don't use a CC NC license for anything in this project, especially not the firmware code: https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer (also if using a CC NC license please don't list that under a subheading "Open Source"). In fact I think this must be an error, since @crowdsupply does not allow NC, does it? "User: The user alone has the right to decide to whom and for what compensation to transfer the product."
I knew it was coming but I finally actually heard the words in person today from my doctor, "The CDC no longer recommends the COVID vaccine for people under 65 or without certain conditions" and I think I am trapped in an alternate timeline.
Nevermind that I got to the portal by clicking a link from an email notification that I received. We need the equivalent of USDS for patient care.
Logged into doctor's web portal, which involved SMS 2FA. After logging in, greeted immediately with another screen asking for SMS 2FA. After completing that I was asked to receive a link to verify my email address (which, btw, had already been offered up as an option to receive the initial 2FA instead of SMS). While writing this post, received an email saying "You have received a new message from {{appnt_facName}}." Better take that blood pressure reading again.

Thoughts about / experiences with https://furilabs.com/ ? What's different about it? I have the usual veteran questions, ie, do phone calls work, is the kernel work upstream, does mute work, will it burn you...
Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are the same age.
