An acquaintance went down last week, they had their passports and paperwork in order, going down for the weekend. US Customs searched their phones, fingerprinted them, took photos of them, and then let them through.

I will not even consider going to the USA anymore.

Well, their "food" now costs as much or more than a nice sit-down meal. And, in my opinion, it's terrible.

Because everyone on Reddit is American? Or that the entire planet is supposed to understand nuanced differences between ounces and fluid ounces that only... what, 3 countries on the planet use?

And now he's dead.

What the hell is wrong with those people?!? If there's any doubt, then pause the execution.

Document your code like the guy who will be maintaining it is Dexter, and he knows where you live.

There we go. Haier is now on my personal "do not ever buy from" list. Congratulations, Haier.

I'm so ready for this to end. Stop the madness already!

Consider "moissanite". Beautiful manufactured gemstones that look very much like diamonds but are a fraction of the price.

I almost bought an air fryer, but ended up with a convection toaster oven. Does everything an air fryer does and much more. I bought the Gourmia one from Costco and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

After a few years on Spotify, I switched to Tidal.

Issues I had with Spotify are:

  1. You can't block a song, an artist or a band. Ridiculous really. For example, I dislike Kanye West and never want to hear his music, and blocking him on Tidal was easy.
  2. The Spotify shuffle algorithm is beyond terrible. If you have a 250 song playlist, you'll hear the same popular 50 songs and never the obscure ones. Sometimes even back-to-back. It's frustrating and they won't fix it. It seems to be their algorithm is designed to promote some artists or bands more than others.
  3. Spotify have promised higher quality audio for years and still haven't brought it out. With good headphones or speakers I can hear the difference that Tidal has.

I miss how well Spotify integrated with Google Home though.

Except this is false. Anyone who can do a quick google search will learn that it's the other way around. The porn actress was only 17 when the movie Frozen came out, wasn't doing porn, and was unknown at the time. When she turned 18 and decided on her alias she chose Elsa after the character from Frozen.
