I listen to the Tin Dog Podcast sometimes when I'm making breakfast. Who stuff including Big Finish, Blake's 7, and other sci-fi.

Well, there are at least three of us. Last time I said brown sauce in a thread like this I got downvoted. 😆

FWIW, I checked the pi-hole and there doesn't appear to be any contemporaneous blocks for my phone when attempting to share location. (I wouldn't think that would be necessary for location sharing but I've been surprised before.)

I also checked to see if Android shows that the location was accessed by the FF app and it does. It's just not making it to the page for whatever reason.

I'll report back if I discover anything more.

I just discovered this guy recently! I particularly liked his essay on queerbaiting. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Olpn9YsyMeM

Something must be broken right now. I noticed this problem recently on the AQI site (link below). Popup does nothing. Going through the lock icon menu can change it from block to allow, but the site still doesn't get the location.

Do you have a pi-hole? After I set mine up, suddenly YouTube stopped remembering my history until I allowed the right domain. Maybe this is the same sort of problem? I'll try to check that today.

Let me know if you figure it out. I'm twice your age and I still don't know.

I mainly started using exFAT on flash drives (even on new ones) since it is interoperable between Windows, Linux, and Intel Mac. To be clear, I never don't unmount the drive properly under normal conditions, but I remember reading around the time it was introduced that the Windows implementation guaranteed the buffers were flushed after every write (meaning no unwritten data remains when the activity indicator on the drive stops blinking) but now I can't find any evidence that was ever the case. Wouldn't be the first time I got bad info from the Internet. 🤷‍♂️

I prefer a real Brooklyn slice but it can't be had where I live. IMO Donatos is a fair substitute. They're in like 30 states.

The big national chains are garbage.

Random thoughts, no particular order

I think btrfs was the default the last time I installed Bazzite, but I don't really know anything about it so I switched it to ext4. I understand the snapshot ability is nice with rolling release distros, though.

It'd been ages since I'd used FAT32 for anything until I made a Debian live USB when I was setting up my pi-hole on an old Core2Duo recently. It would only boot on FAT32 for reasons I probably once knew. 😆

NTFS was an improvement over the FATs what with the journaling, security, file streams, etc. I use it wherever I still use Windows (work).

Most of my general purpose USB flash drives use exFAT. I like not having to worry about eject/unmount.

Thank you. I was not aware. It does not make me feel better. Depressing stuff.

All respect to those who died fighting for a better world. Also in this picture all I can see is Mark Hamill with an epic handlebar mustache.

Something else I share with Kit Harrington besides our mutual love of redheads.

I do not like Jurassic Park. I have never liked Jurassic Park. It has great special effects and Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, but that does not make it a good movie. I don't care if it made a billion dollars at the box office. I don't care how many awards it won.

The worst part, though, is the memes. They're second only to Prequel Trilogy memes in terms of how much they annoy me. I long ago added "clever girl" and "life uh finds a way" to the list of phrases that braying jackasses won't stop posting on social media that fill me with a near-homocidal rage. I'd block these phrases and move on with my life but these people put them in freaking images, too. I can't get away from it. *continues to froth incoherently*

Edit: As of this writing, I have three downdoots. I'm going to assume that all downdooters agree with this post. Edit #2: Now like 8 of 29 people agree with me! I guess this unpopular opinion isn't quite as unpopular as I believed. ❤️

Edit #3: 15 of 45 people reject that this is an unpopular opinion! Thank you all for your love and support. ✌️

A few years ago I got a Gorilla brand granite mortar and pestle. I seasoned it as directed and got quite a bit of use out of it, then I stopped cooking for a while and it got kind of...well, gross. It's possible that I spilled something on it, but portions of the bowl and exterior are a darker color now. I guess I'm afraid with the relatively porous granite that it's full of rancid garlic effluvium. Does anyone know how to clean this thing? Should I just pitch it?
