Updated the CSS to have the colors here match what I have set up in Letterbird.

After being stung yesterday the war is on. Midnight (well, 8:30PM) strike on the Yellowjacket nest: deltamethrin dust right down the entrance. Have never seen Yellowjackets swarm at night. 🐝 The more the merrier. It means more soldiers dragging the dust back in the nest.

Can any of the folks here at micro.blog explain this: social.rossabaker.com/@ross/117…

I’ve seen it referenced in multiple places today and honestly have no clue what the guy is talking about.

Apple laying off engineering staff when they have more money, and bugs, than God is really making a statement.

To be clear: I haven’t read Macstories in years and think the way they decided to move back to X was a very poor decision. It’s also not my company or my source of income so I have nothing else to say about it.

Another strange thing I’ve been seeing a lot of: dunking on tech bloggers because they’re only doing reviews, etc. This is happening quite a bit right now against the Macstories guys due to their move back to X. Curious why nobody was worried about this before the move. 🧐

Easy Chicken Margherita - emphasis on the easy. This was really, really good and I didn’t even bother with the balsamic glaze. I used Rao’s basil pesto. Truly took about 20 minutes and is super tasty!

Always like when time is taken to respond to someone’s blog post via email and the response is 🦗 I realize of course there is no obligation but it makes me wonder why someone added the “reply by email” link or contact form.

There is a lot of hate out there it seems in regards to the “AirPods with cameras”. It appears they don’t record video, don’t allow the user to save still photos, and the photos it does take are 1MP. Call me naive but I don’t see a problem and can see a lot of benefit for those with vision problems.

Stung by a wasp for the first time in like 20 years. Boy did that hurt.

I am getting really tired of auto racing being tied to the military. The intro stuff for the IndyCar race in Washington D.C. is shameful. Note to Fox: “Air Force One” is whatever plane the President is on, not a specific plane.

I’ve been watching a lot of old TV shows lately (late 50s/60s). One of the fun things is seeing people who became huge movie stars, like Robert Redford or Robert Duvall, early in their careers

Figured I’d DIY the colonoscopy and endoscopy I need to schedule.

Going to try some very, very low effort short posting here. Despite what I wrote on my main blog I’m finding I’d still like to share interesting links, etc.
