Norm Macdonald: I remember the good old days when tweeting meant ...
eddof13··on iPhone Duo
I had the Samsung Flip 6 and I liked it a bit in the beginning but quickly tired of having to flip it open and so I'm back to the soap bar- but otherwise this looks cool

eddof13··on Latest Airbus single aisle aircraft innovations
good luck getting most people into a pilotless aircraft as well- there is at least an incentive for the pilots to stay alive
eddof13··on Grok 4.5
Claude literally today just reprimanded me on my personal account and refused a request due to political bias- and so I decided to cancel and subscribe to Grok. SuperGrok performed the task no issue.

very nice though I am old fashioned and would like a hard copy option

eddof13··on OpenClaw surpasses React to become the most-starred software project on GitHub
I'm tempted not to use it to control everything, but install it on my mac and give it access to keyboard maestro macros and that's it
eddof13··on The Last Drops of Mexico City
Been in Mexico almost 7 years- it's common knowledge, you don't drink the tap water, ever. The destitute who can't afford bottled water might be the exception.
eddof13··on Game Boy Advance Architecture – A Practical Analysis
adjacent perhaps but I am looking forward to this book https://nostarch.com/game-boy-coding-adventure
eddof13··on Sharks test positive for cocaine in waters off Brazilian coast
cocaine shark was the obvious sequel
eddof13··on Tech firms must tame toxic algorithms to protect children online
No. The parents are responsible for their children, not tech firms or anyone else.
eddof13··on Wine 9.5 (Dev) – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
I don't use it but it's one of the few projects I have followed the change log fairly religiously for many years (others being Slackware and MAME which I also rarely use)
eddof13··on Meta outage
Google was acting up for me as well, so that could be
eddof13··on Senior Boeing employee on why he won't fly a MAX: Just Get me Off This Plane
flying is not safer than driving- unless you drive 500 miles with 150 other people every time you get in the car- statistics are massaged, and I think risk of accident per journey is better (and is higher in flying)

eddof13··on 104-year-old woman dies days after making a skydive that put her in the record
If I was 104 I would have just made the dive without a chute and gone out that way
eddof13··on Pilots abort landings at SFO after spotting plane in their path
I was on a plane during an aborted landing over the weekend, I think the 2nd/3rd I've experienced. I always assume death will occur shortly after but it hasn't yet.
eddof13··on Eggspensive
I'll have you know in Mexico my eggs are still $1.50 or less a dozen

Was about to say- dietary cholesterol doesn't matter! Eat those eggs folks

I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole so good riddance
eddof13··on Meal kit giant, HelloFresh, accused of using monkey labor to source coconut milk
I don't have any problem with giving monkeys a job, but it does appear they were abused in this case
eddof13··on Writing down what I do in Obsidian
I use obsidian because apple notes lost all my notes amazingly when syncing between two computers and my phone- and my hope is that the markdown file method that obsidian uses in iCloud will be more resilient.

That said I'd rather have something that versions my notes files

eddof13··on Why are so many babies born around 8:00 AM? (2017)
I was going to guess without reading the article that it has to do with Drs etc arriving at work at 8am and mothers waiting until they arrive to have the baby extracted- seems about right
eddof13··on US Supreme Court to weigh end to race-based college admissions
hopefully
eddof13··on I’m taking some time away from Comma
I must say props for the BAP reference
