High Sierra shower heads are awesome. Installed them in each of our bathrooms. Feels like a rain shower, with more pressure then our previous stock shower head while still saving water. Win-win. They also manufacture them in small town in the foothills of the Sierra mountains which is a pretty cool fact.

Yeah they can improve their UX all they want but since their co-founder is part of DOGE and wants to mess with social security, it makes choosing alternatives easier.

Congrats! Just watched the trailer and the game looks and sounds awesome. As someone who has a lot of half-finished projects, I’m impressed you stuck with it for 8 years and got it across the finish line, that must be a great feeling.

Were you working on it full time or on the side?

+1 for Shark. Bought one several years ago without thinking much about it. It still works just as well as when I got it despite handling a pretty heavy workload. My dog sheds profusely and tracks in stuff from the yard constantly and we also use it on the cars.

Amazing color and composition. Did you wait a long time to get this shot?

Visit some of the National Parks, aka America’s best idea.

Some amazing ones (they’re all amazing, tbh) in no particular order:

• Yosemite
• Arches / Canyonlands (close to each other)
• Yellowstone
• Grand Tetons
• Glacier
• Denali
• Olympic

Yep, their site is a marvel of organization and refreshing in how minimalist it has remained. These days it seems every e-commerce site hits you with email sign up pop-ups, sales banners, etc.

In addition to self-hosting, I’ll throw out a few other alternatives:

Free:

• hoopla or OverDrive/Libby via local library membership
• LibroVox public domain books read by users

Paid:

• For a user experience closer to Audible, I went with libro.fm. You can pick a local, independent bookstore that gets a portion of the sales. Their catalog is pretty extensive as well, have been able to find most books I’m interested in. Books are DRM-free and you can pause your membership.
• Downpour - DRM-free as well

DRM-free is important IMO because otherwise you’re at the mercy of the platform and if the company ever changes its Terms of Use or wipes your account, you lose your purchases. Amazon have remotely deleted books from users’ libraries in the past or replaced them with modified copies (e.g. Roald Dahl books). Kindle announced last month they won’t let you download your eBooks via USB so it’s possible Audible could see changes for the worse in the future as well.

Nice, looks like great weather

He’s more of a meat popsicle

The cafe offers both methods using the same bean of the day so that leads me to believe it’s the process.

I think it’s due to the slightly more active extraction of dripping water but I don’t want to pretend like I fully know so I’ll defer to what I’ve read online.

There’s a cafe I go to that has a tower and I find Kyoto cold brew tastes better (notes are more prominent) and is noticeably smoother than regular cold brew.

You could argue it’s marginal, but the same could be said for spending thousands on grinders and espresso machines versus a $100 machine and $20 grinder. Everyone’s going to value their workflow differently.

I’m a fan of Kyoto cold brew and am thinking of getting a tower so I can brew it at home in the summer.

But I also just got a lever espresso machine so that’ll probably keep me busy for a while.

Thanks for this. I’m using mainly Firefox to support alternatives to webkit/blink based browsers but the new ToU makes me a bit apprehensive about the direction they’re going.

I also had been test driving Falkon from KDE but will look into these as well.

I can dig it. For me it’s similar to seeing physical products described as “handcrafted” to denote quality versus something mass produced. A lot of indie devs pour enormous amounts of time and energy into animation, scripts, music, etc. that a derivative gen AI would just spit out in seconds.

This is the route I’ll probably go when it’s time for me to replace my laptop. The 14" Lemur Pro looks perfect for my use case (ultra portable) although the Pangolin looks more powerful.

Kind of like how they killed off Poochie

Remember when they removed “don’t be evil” from their code of conduct back in 2018

Installed an All American RO from US Water Syatems. Been pretty happy with it, no issues in 2 years and their how-to videos and customer support is excellent if you want to install it yourself. Even bought one for my parents house. The 6 stage version includes a remineralization step, they call it Livation.

“Correo de las brujas” translates to “the witches’ mail” and means gossip or rumors. Kind of like “heard it through the grapevine” or a “a little birdie told me”
