@otter Now it makes sense!

Today I got notice on Facebook that several of my posts from last year were removed for violating community standards on cybersecurity—they were all links to articles from The Reflector.

Jerks.

Yeah, dealers around here have a huge markup over MSRP, “because there’s so much demand.”

Okay, I can wait.

That’s the sad thing here—puberty blockers give kids, their families, and their healthcare provider time to figure things out before the permanent changes of a dysphoric puberty.

And puberty blockers have been used for decades for cis-kids without any controversy—but for trans kids—apparently that’s a bridge too far.

The Cass report found exactly what it was commissioned to find, and misrepresents the research.

The science is clear, gender-affirming care saves lives.

Really glad to see SCH go to bat here.

We all have things we can do.

No shit.

@Telorand Don't lump us, Gen Xers, with our parents, please.

Or--whatever.

Except, it does mean stop—and then proceed when safe…

@BeardedSingleMalt

That was the genius in JoJo Rabbit—showing just how absolutely pathetic and weak fascists are.

I'm a HUGE 1Password fan--and have been for years. It is always the very first app I install on any device. Paid for every upgrade since v4 when I discovered it.

I was sceptical of the switch to Electron, but it's just the front end. The backend is written in Rust and performance has been great. It's not native, but that's a current trend right now...

I was even sold on the subscription model, and now manage a family account for my wife and kids.

No. Seperate dispensers completely.

And clearly marked as Charged Lemonade with the calorie and caffeine content for both the 20oz and 30oz cups on the dispenser since they were introduced.

In Washington we have all early voting results and some of the early results from that day by the time polls close on election day. Then an update each day with those processed that day with the remainder that trickle in over the next couple of weeks (e.g., mail in ballots from overseas, challenged ballots that need to be "cured") until the election is certified.

Most places where there is a delay, it is intentional and written into law/regs--like, that each ballot and its signature has to has to be verified by a human before it can be scanned. And, if, hypothetically, a party wanted to cast doubt on an election, they could send representatives to challenge each and every ballot and slow the process down--and simultaneously cry foul that the process is taking so long. But no one would do that, right? /s

This.

Zotero for managing your references. Since you’ll be sharing with others using Word—make sure to use the right settings.

@mikkL I've used Getting to Inbox Zero via @jilleduffy task template for Todoist for many years. I can't find a link to the template anymore, but Todoist has an article that covers the basics.

One of the key parts for me is spending time each morning reviewing incoming email and either addressing it immediately, or adding it to Todoist to address later.

Recently pulled an old iMac out of storage and logged in. iMessages started trying to log into all my Jabber accounts…

@yA3xAKQMbq

This is no longer true. 1Password supports subdomain matching

@schmurnan

Which they moved behind the counter d/t people complaining about the caffeine content.

...which is accurate.

@ArtieShaw

Yes.

I'm a bit late to this, but a couple of things we did when the kiddos were younger:

1. Favorite blanket, pillow, and stuffy
2. A sunshade for their seat
3. Ask at EVERY rest stop, "Who needs to pee?" and then stop at every single one if needed...(and then everyone gets out to stretch even if they don't need to pee)
4. Love the ideas mentioned above about small toys wrapped up. We did variations on this.
5. They each get to pack their own shoebox (e.g., 6 qt Sterilite Storage Container ) with anything they want.
6. Play the license plate game.
7. Headphones for any electronics that are coming AND the car charger or inverter for said electronic
8. Hotspot or one of our phones in hotspot mode
