The clear vinyl sleeve hadn’t even had time to properly stick to the Polaroid on her WH credentials yet. At least maybe they can reuse the lanyard for the next fool? It probably still has that “new lanyard” smell.

I really, REALLY want a nap. But I was very mean to too many of them when I was a toddler, and now they are boycotting me in my dotage. 🫩🥱☹️💤

Watching “influencers” who didn’t get an iPhone Duo order for delivery on launch day have an absolute meltdown; is WAY more entertaining than drinking unicorn tears.

@KingShawn @DamnInteresting Earlier I said the gene pool needed more chlorine. I’m beginning to wonder if it just needs to be drained, scrubbed and sanitized; and refilled again. 😑🤦‍♂️

@KingShawn I won’t be buying one at that price, unless one of the ones I have now dies. And even then; I might just skip it and buy an older used one. Steve was right. It’s a good product at $99; but not at $300 (paragraphing what he said).

@KingShawn I wish someone would stop feeding that particular troll. But that would probably bankrupt McDonald’s and whatever ketchup brand he’s fond of throwing at the walls.

@KingShawn Ive been checking that YouTube channel for the Peggy’s Cove lighthouse at different times of day. I can easily understand why it’s such an interesting place to photograph.

They don’t seem to have a presence on Mastodon, which is unfortunate; but thank you to WANF Atlanta News First, for your live coverage of the 2026 Atlanta Pride Parade. Not just a few clips here and there, but from start to finish.

@KingShawn The pharmacist at our local Sam’s Club said there was a series of pills that could be used in place of the awful liquid. Might be worth keeping in mind if you go through this torture process again. She said it’s called “SUTAB” I think.

@KingShawn Thanks for boosting my question about the iOS image. Someone who saw it because of your boost helped me find a copy of it! Much appreciated, big guy! 🫶

Does anyone recognize this image? I think it was an original Apple stock wallpaper/background image, but I don’t remember from what iOS version or what it was called. #Apple #iOS #wallpaper #images

“Plastics in drinking water are bad.” Here. 3D print this filter…….out of plastic……..to take the plastics out of your drinking water. Does anyone else see the irony in this? No? Just me. Ok. As you were. hackaday.social/@hackaday/117391531…

Why does macOS 27 insist on moving the icons for my external drive and my network share to some place on the desktop OTHER THAN where I put them?! This is infuriating! LEAVE MY DAMNED ICONS WHERE I PUT THEM! 🤬 #mac #macos27 #AppleSilicon #macosgoldengate

@KingShawn To make this even more fun and interesting, one of the two intersections is practically on top of the driveway of a quite large middle school (grades 6-8) with a LOT of bus traffic. And rather than start on this construction over the summer break while a lot of that traffic wasn’t […]

@KingShawn That does sound like a great trip. Our county is turning two consecutive intersections on the main road by our subdivision into roundabouts. And they’re doing it to both of them *at the same time*. I cannot wait (and by that I mean that I am terrified by) for the vehicular chaos and […]

@KingShawn Definitely! I hate that our stop there on our cruise ended up being so short that we didn’t get to see anything. Some sort of mechanical issue with the usual place cruise ships dock; and we ended up having to dock at a cargo ship spot. There weren’t enough busses to get people off the […]
