Google REALLY wants me to upgrade my free workspace, apparently flagging it as being used for commercial purposes based on, I think, a single email. Appealed, approved yesterday, today they want me to upgrade still.

A screenshot of email with the words ‘Google workspace’ highlighted across each header. Shows a track of appeal, approval, and then seeming to think I’m still under appeal and trying to push upgrades.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

A picture dominated by dark clouds overhead, backlit from the sun in some places. In the bottom of the picture are lightly snow covered mountains, heavily obscured by low lying cloud banks. In the bottom left is a lone t-style power pole.

One of my favorite times of the year being able to share treats with those around me, and cheeseballs, inherited from my mom, is the treat of choice. Might have overdone it this year, but no regrets

Me, a grey-bearded bald guy, a kitchen view in the background. With a spoonful of cheeseballs mix and me pretending to bring it to my mouth. There is a very large, packed high, bowl of cheeseball mix in front of me, below the spoon.

First I’ve ever seen them, or at least this strong, in northern Utah. Loving it!

Posting with alt-text because its the right thing to do, from @bagleycartoons.bsky.social To think we were doing so well....

A 4 panel comic, in the style of the old Peanuts comic strip. A Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown style scene.

Top-left panel: Lucy, in a red dress and has a football held in the air. Charlie Brown in typical yellow shirt with a black zig zag pattern in the middle, and the head of a donkey, is nearby looking on.

Top-right panel: Lucy is still holding the football in the air. Charlie is running at her.

Bottom-left panel: Charlie has missed the ball and is spinning in the air past Lucy. Lucy still holds the ball in the air.

Bottom-right panel: Lucy spikes the ball on Charlie's face.

I will never not be happy driving around southern Utah where I grew up up. Today I got to witness this beautiful rainbow over the beautiful sandstone and lava flows.

A cloudy landscape, some green trees in the foreground, mesas of sandstone in the background, and a portion of the rainbow in the center.

One of many reasons I enjoy helping people, even though I’m not really a social person. Fun being with other people helping others, and having a chance for random silly things like a mantis in the beard

I would like to thank FedEx for doing a stellar job of showing this package that got delivered today. Pic 1, what they showed for proof of delivery, pic 2, the item in my living room.

A picture of a bit of lawn on the right, a bare patch diagonally from the bottom left to the center, and concrete on the right. Conspicuous is the lack of a box or any other item not normally here.

A very large box (about 4’ tall and 16” square) in my living room. Beige carpet, underneath and flanked in the background by lazy boy chairs on the left and right. There is a piano bench in the foreground, dark in color, with a teal shirt on it. You might think this is a very large box to have failed to capture in a picture showing delivery and you would be right.

It’s a brisket kind of day here, but who’s to argue with enjoying some smoked meat, regardless of your preference?

A large brisket lying on a tray above a sink. It is uncooked, covered in spices and the top has a layer of green which is a coat of jalepeno finely chopped.

The same brisket about 9 hours later. It is on a smokers grill, surrounded by smoke, looking nicely dark having been in the smoker overnight.

Geez, I wonder if maybe nobody is actually doing it. Also wonder how much money was spent to create and maintain this versus the actual "benefit" it provided.

Florida previously required a license to engage in weather modification efforts. But the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has never issued such a license or even received an application for one since that program was created in 1957, according to an agency spokeswoman.

For some reason I always feel a little subversive wearing bright, colorful, or otherwise fun shirts to work. Shame it isn’t more normal for guys instead of the average corporate polo. Or maybe that’s just my experience where I am, but would love to see people enjoy more color in life

It’s hard not being an employee but still part of the team and never knowing if I should ask for anything, but was really cool to get the team band for the hackathon kickoff concert for @bolt.new - such a great team to be a part of in my own little niche!

I much prefer "All Are Welcome & Included Here" to "Visitors Welcome". I'm sure I've seen signs similar to this in Logan, but being out walking in the world I saw this and it resonated with me.

I love finding cool textures to photograph and the Outer Banks is providing plenty for me. Nothing fancy, just my iPhone, but sufficient for me who would never take the time to really dig into an SLR

It makes me sad/mad that men (said he was 28) felt it appropriate to "bait" and be "toxic to prove a point" on a tech related discord to one of the amazing women that help out in providing their own time for users with questions. WTAF is wrong with people? (Yeah, banned)

I personally would go with the stones. I have a Lego bonsai that uses single stud pieces for the base which looks kinda rocky. If you have tempered glass, it also looks cool - here’s what I gave my wife for Valentines
