How about a nice pair of headphones than you can plug into a computer even and enjoy music, without requiring any fancy audiophile equipment? youtu.be/sJLCB_Sincc

This is adorable.

On the tourist side it always looks this impressive. However, it isn’t so great on the other side.

I vinyl wrapped my Mac Studio^W^WPerforma 40000.

1991: fighting with five siblings for use of a single landline 2025: we all refuse to answer our cell phones

“This is your brain on drugs.”

This is not how you do security through transparency.

As a non-American, it’s painfully ironic to see people on the “right” rant about the “elites” secretly plotting to whatever, then have a man with the name of a kind of scent come out and blatantly do the very things they claim, but in the name of their politics.

Aww @pfrazee.com got me a Christmas present

The idea of forbidden clothes is just mad.

Apparently there was an earthquake in Kyushu soon after I got home tonight. I didn’t feel it at all. I only noticed it because I started browsing Reddit just after and someone had posted about it.

Is there a way I can switch AI off on absolutely everything? Browsers, phones, whatever, all of it. It's hard enough to get to the truth with most powerful humans constantly spinning shit, I don't also need robots collating all the nonsense and making up their own variety on top. It's just garbage.

The H5N1 subtype has been around since 1996, occasionally jumping to mammals, including humans. As with other strains, there is a risk of a pandemic outbreak, but that is uncertain. What is certain is that if that happens, some do not want you to protect yourselves: the McCullough Foundation. 1/10

This is why I pay for Kagi.com.

Sensoji today, through the lens of a blackened and hollowed out gingko. I never noticed the tree before, as it is off to the side in a smoking area, but now I’ll never see these grounds the same again, because once you see one fire-damaged tree at Sensoji, you see them all. And they are EVERYWHERE.

If you're going to post screenshots from Twitter it should exclusively be stuff like this instead of stuff that makes people mad

The only thing uniting all Aussies? Gambling ads. Happy Birthday, Australia! 🎂

Sneezing during a bad bout of sciatica is like… Ahhh….. (Oh no!) AHHhhhh … (Oh God please no!) AHHHHHHHHH (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!,) CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK THAT HURT.

There is a metaphor here somewhere

Meanwhile in Japan…

Given the considerable percentage of Japanese that are elderly, you’d think that chairs in Japan, especially in medical clinics, would be comfortable.

What I love about this place is that you discover things like this.

So, a guy spent years designing and making 3D printed headphones that are so popular now he has an 8-month back-order. They cost $2000. By a lucky strike, I could borrow a pair for review. youtu.be/zeeQhqpnGa8

So, in front of numerous other people, some idiot decides to carve his family's initials into part of a sacred site in Japan. They need to show his arrest to visiting tourists as now the locals, previously missing the tourism, are starting to hate the return of it.

We may not agree about politics or religion,,, but we can all agree that we want Mike Tyson to knock out Jake Paul

And so it begins. www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

Worth reading.

I don't care how true this is, but I totally believe it.

In 1657, Jin Shengtan 金聖嘆 broke off from his commentary on 'The Romance of the Western Chamber' to list "33 Nice Things" 不亦快哉三十三則. It's one of the most likable things I know of in any language. I translated it to cheer myself up a while ago, if anyone could use it. www.burninghou.se/p/whats-good

LOL! Addicts don't vote for banning the drugs they are addicted to! And that's assuming they aren't bots.

When people are repeatedly told something is harmful or wrong, even if the evidence says otherwise, many eventually start to believe it. The argument here is that if it's not vaccines or WiFi, then something must be making us all unhealthy. But are we actually less healthy? 1/7

The original Norton Utilities, for cleaning the most stubborn floppy disk heads.

Not these, but you want Scottevest Hidden Cargo Pants or Shorts. They look like dress pants/shorts and take a belt, but have a genius pocket system.

Screw this, I'm going back to reading books.

Things I never dreamed I’d have to consider in the future: that the batteries in the remote control for my toilet are low and I have to replace them.

I’m at the barber and this old lady has been sitting patiently as her husband got his hair cut. Now she is rumbling in his jacket pocket to get his wallet out to pay.

This is what the USA looks like to everyone outside it right now.

I have no words.

I like this site

Apple Adjustable PowerBook 500.

I had a problem with MacOS for years where, even though I have 64 GB of memory, it would start paging (using the hard disk as memory) after it used only 32 GB. Suddenly, with the latest MacOS update, it stopped doing that, even after people tried to tell me what was happening was normal (it's NOT).

You’d think after being arrested in Japan he’d have learned his lesson.

Now this has gotten me looking at $400 coffee cups online.

Fucking seriously Facebook? Nine posts in a row of recommended and other crap I don't want to see? I'm thankful I have the Social Fixer plug-in, as it condenses "recommended" and advertising posts into sing lines which I can view if I want.

So, Discover is now full of soft-core furry and anime p0rn, with no obvious way to filter it out. "See less of this" does nothing.
