Am definitely human.

On my old android phone, I have a beautiful 24 hour clock (app and widget) which is unfortunately no longer available in the play store.
Just saying, it exists if you know how to look for it. It was Vejle, believe it or not, “24 hour clock”.
Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.
I carry some because it’s no longer a thing. My card has only the information that I know will not change: my name, email address, and mobile phone number. On the back there’s a QR code (which contrasts the otherwise vintage look).
I hand out perhaps one per month so not super often, and many times the most appropriate thing to do is to simply tell people my phone number. But sometimes, especially when we’re in a situation where phones are not nearby, it’s quite effective to hand over a pre-made card with that info.
The average reaction is “Oh, cool” so even if they toss it once they’ve copied the info (which, tbh, is my expectation) it will still have made the exchange slightly out of the ordinary.
Plus, sometimes they’re useful to stop a table from rattling, or leave a message for someone who’s not currently present, and so on.
Right? For me, the realisation struck when we left the hospital: two people go into a building, three people come out. Carrying my baby daughter was such a crazy experience that first day.
^((nevermind the mathematician’s observation of “if one more person were to enter, the building would be empty again”))

ℹ️ “exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical”
ℹ️ “lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy”
ℹ️ “bitter and abusive”, as in a comment or other way of communicating
“optimal frustration” (one single word in several languages that aren’t English)
Something is too easy? Easily bored.
Something is altogether too difficult? Feels hopeless.
Optimal frustration is where the magic happens, be it in education or a computer game.
ℹ️ “looking or sounding sad or dismal”
Oh that is hilarious! Just on my first listen but I don’t quite get the lyrics - am deeply disappointed that the video doesn’t have subs. 🤭
Found it on Spotify. It’s so much worse with lyrics. Thank you for sharing a version without them! 🙏
Read it again. This self-proclaimed man uses ‘women’ to describe some people, and also uses ‘females’ for how some other people describe them.
Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.
Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail
and a time out of, say, 5s should work… but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?
How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I’m on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I’m not???
For years I’ve been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it’s just not okay to do it that way.
The article describes this as"prop money", but doesn’t give further details.
If you’re curious, Adam Savage has a number of videos from Hays Press explaining actual prop money.

What I am really looking for is beyond our email, it’s proper integration between calendar, contacts, and map.
I want to be able to share calendars with my family, and link contacts from certain events (birthdays, meetings, and also just meet-ups). I want those contact’s addresses to be available as navigation destinations in the mapping app. I want to be able to bookmark (“star”) map locations.
Same. I wish you the best for your continued upward trajectory, friend. 😐🤜
What from, if I may ask?
Me, I’ve been on a multi-year roller coaster (more like haunted house ride, really, with the rattling and the spooks and the lack of upwards motion…) involving asking for help in what turned out to be the wrong place, causing me to lose my job, kids, spouse, dream house, future dreams, sanity, and damn near my life.
Still, I’m still here, still hoping for things to get better. You know, eventually.
