5·3 days agoHey now, I banked $30K in cash and bought a house, all I had to do was have a heart attack, open heart surgery, and move to 100% work from home. 😉
3 years after I stopped driving to the office, paying $21 a day to park, and eating out all the damn time… boom! $30K in the bank!
“she was held in ICE custody after failing to prove citizenship”
It’s not on the accused to prove innocence, it’s on DHS to prove guilt and “I said so” is not proof.
Justice department is saying it’s fake, but then… it IS Pam Bondi’s justice department soooo…
6·6 days ago“I have another device running Windows 11. It’s festered with ads”
I have 3 Windows 11 installations, one work machine, one home machine, and an SSD boot drive for the Steam Deck (some games require Windows 11).
I agree, the ads enabled by default on Win 11 are annoying. But it’s not rocket science to turn them off. In fact, it’s easier to remove the ads from Windows 11 than it is to spin up and learn how to use a Linux distro (and I have three of those myself, file server, media server, standard Steam Deck).

"Settings > Personalization > Start and disable Show suggestions occasionally in Start (Windows 10) or Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more (Windows 11).
If you have a problem with any of the live tiles that Windows 10 has stuck on your Start screen—some of which are pre-installed junk or trials—right-click on the one that’s bugging you and choose Uninstall to remove the app. Alternatively, right-click and choose More > Turn Live Tile Off to turn it into a simple shortcut to the app.
Settings > Personalization > Lock screen and switch your background from Windows spotlight to Picture or Slideshow.
Settings > System > Notifications & actions and unchecking Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows. You can also untick Show me the Windows welcome experience, which shows those annoying tours after Windows updates, as well as Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device.
In Windows 11, open Settings > System > Notifications and disable Suggested from the Notifications from apps and other senders section. You’ll also need to scroll down and unfurl Additional settings to disable options like Show the Windows welcome experience and Get tips and suggestions.
Disable Ads From Bloatware
Some of the “ads” you see pop up as notifications may not be from Microsoft at all. Instead, it could be bloatware installed by your PC maker. For instance, working on a Dell laptop, I found that SupportAssist, My Dell, and Partner Promo are added by the manufacturer. A Lenovo ThinkPad, meanwhile, has Lenovo Commercial Vantage. But I noticed that Microsoft no longer includes these apps in my Notifications settings. Instead, I had to track down Lenovo’s app, open to its Preference settings, and disable certain messages myself. These programs can also be uninstalled completely, if you prefer.
Settings > Privacy & security > General and disable the Show me suggested content in the Settings app option.
Get Ads Out of File Explorer
Open File Explorer in Windows 11, click the ellipsis icon, then select Options from the menu. If you’re still on Windows 10, click View > Options > Change folder and search options.
Click the View tab in the window that appears, scroll down to Show sync provider notifications and uncheck that box. This should prevent ads from showing up in File Explorer again.
Settings > Privacy > General and turn off Let apps use advertising ID, if you’d rather have non-targeted ads. In Windows 11, it’s called Let apps show me personalized ads by using my advertising ID."
Does that mean he’ll shut up now?
I don’t like this.
Kushner’s financing has fallen apart so it’s not even a legitimate offer at this point, hostile or otherwise.

Yeah, I hit the same thing with a chocolate cheesecake recipe of mine. It calls for a 12 ounce bag of miniature chocolate chips.
The “good” brand chips are all 10 ounce and 20 ounce bags now. Fortunately I found a store brand that was 12 ounces.
I do have a kitchen scale so it would have been possible to buy the 20 ounce bag and measure out 12 ounces…but still!
5·12 days agoThat’s not a bad idea. I’ll need to measure the space once the shelves go up to get a better idea. Thanks!
Yeah, the pattern makes it intentionally hard to tell. It’s a vacuum formed plastic square with 4 circles.
I dunno if they’re transparent enough for that, would be worth looking into.
There’s an 10" gap between the bookshelves and the ceiling I’m trying to do something with. 😉
I need to figure out what to do with the top of the wall that sticks up above the bookshelves, lots of options, but my wife has veto power. 😉
Left to my own devices? TARDIS wall. LOL.
Others:
No joke! Glad I have some time off!
Do do do do do do do do dodo!
Freestyle Libre was my first CGM and as soon as I had the opportunity to switch to Dexcom, I did.
Each new sensor was wildly low or wildly high, with no option to calibrate. It was really only good for measuring changes, not the actual glucose reading itself.
So "Oh, it’s going up, +5, +10, +20… probably accurate, but is it 80, 180, or 240? Use a finger stick to know for sure.
