I've been enjoying Kagi. You pay a monthly fee (there's a free trial) and get good search results. You can even tailor the results to prioritize or deprioritize various sites. For example, I told it to never show me anything from Pinterest.

LPT: if you ever get wasps in your house you can use the extension hose on your vacuum cleaner to suck them up. The hose extension means you don't have to get close to them.

(I'm fine with them outside as long as they don't nest on my balcony, but inside is a problem.)

Seconding that there is nothing in the dots. It's just yellow and green dots.

Have you considered PT? I've been for my back and knees and it's been great. They give you homework to help you strengthen the right muscles to make the pain to away. They also walk you through how to do those exercises and take feedback to make sure you don't hurt yourself.

The trick is to not use numbers. Use a tchotchke placed in a prominent place on your desk. My password changes frequently. The previous tchotchke was a goat pin, then a cactus figurine, then a binder clip. I just need to picture my desk and I know what the thing is.

And my desk is so cluttered it's not clear what the special object is. (You know what they say: cluttered desk, cluttered mind. Empty desk....)

I've stolen it. I'm sure I'll find a use for it somewhere

I'm just giving to drop this link here. (Because it's interesting, not because Nazis lack agency)

I was taught it was about states rights, too. In Kentucky, they were less forceful about calling it the "war of northern aggression.

Did you get taught that some slaves liked being slaves because it meant all their needs were met and they didn't have to worry about anything?

Huh. I don't think national pride that was a factor in my disappointment. I was more sad because 9 is a better number than 8, and Pluto is just a cute little guy.

Can also denote a difference in government styles: towns have a town council, cities have a mayor. Cities can be smaller than towns.

This depends on your region, naturally.

I learned about an expensive headset brand today. Their website was fun, their product is exactly what I want, and they have a 5-year warranty. The headsets come with spare ear pads. Never heard about them before today. I somehow trust they're worth the price.

(Still ended up just buying new foam pads for my current $30 headset, but I was tempted.)
