After my local gym made the audio worse in their spin cycle room, I’m starting my own indoor cycle journey with Rouvy. So far, compared to Zwift, the realistic routes and ability to minimize others on the route works for me.

Does this mean more polling stations, a federal and state holiday for election day, and district boundaries based on some sort of non-gerrymandering approach?

Microsoft ClipChamp has a lot of functionality that breaks when you block tracking at a network level. Designed to not be optional.

And with that, the transition to dictator is complete. > President says his morality is ‘the only thing that can stop me’ Given the current administration is running martial law in a roundabout way, is there any barriers that remain standing? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

All the hoopla about Twisted Sister and albums with restricted language in the 80s/90s feels basic in light of this.

Modern day divvy up the loot of wars like any good pirate.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Let’s check in on how Afghanistan is going as a reminder of the cost of war.

So the US has declared war on Venezuela? Or is this a Putin-style “special operation”?

Napster says asking artists for use permission would kill the file sharing industry.

I’m messaging from the future. The lottery numbers for yesterday have still not been published. We will try again next year. Hello 2026!

Minor bug fixes for a bike helmet. 🤔

Partner surprised that Facebook and Instagram have microphone access on their phone. I keep saying that it’s best to rely on the browser if you must use it. Not fool proof but better than system level access.

How do you store extra bed sheet sets? My closet is getting out of control with the stuffing inside the pillow case approach.

I don’t know why anyone would believe a stat from a guy who cut medication costs by 1,000%. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Aucklanders - where to take adult clothing for reuse / recycle? A lot of op shops are saying they are overrun.

Five more days and I will have completed a year without cola — Pepsi or Coke. As a habitual 2-4 can a day drinker for the last ~20 years I’d say that’s pretty darn good. Coffee was my replacement for the morning. Latte, no sugar or anything else added. 1-2 cups.

Demanding perfection on your health care results, bank balances, insurance claims, educational assessments is under rated. Shipping slop at high speed trumps customer experience, trust, reliability. 🤦‍♂️
