Last Notes npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…eqsh At one time he was the highest paid performer on TV. So many accomplishments.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Como npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…rckr And now I watch us blow a 7-0 lead in the 7th. Skubal was brilliant pitching through 6 innings and allowing only 1 run (at the top of the 7th) before he was pulled (over 90 pitches total). The problem is the depth of the bullpen because we just gave up 7 runs in two innings and the game is tied 7-7, top of the 9th. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…eqsh I walked down the screw and bolt aisle at Loews once and came to a realization that I was screwed, so I bolted. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Any postage stamp collectors in Michigan out there. I have two boxes full of stamps that my father collected over the years. Some are in albums. Many loose in envelopes. People traveled and sent him stamps from all over! I need to find them a home with a collector that will enjoy going through them. #stampcollecting #philately #philatelist #michigan #hobbies npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…0evn Why not level up an wear TWO pair - another up on the brim of your baseball cap? npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: What looks like a relaxing, port side village in the foothills of France, is actually a bustling college town in the upper peninsula of #Michigan. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…jwjw Great!

Go have fun, there will be only ONE 8th grade dance (maybe 2 counting yours). npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…z0fk "However, there is no comprehensive federal study or reporting requirement to assess the full scope of these impacts." But they'll keep building them. And if they run into community push-back, they'll just open their checkbooks and give $10,000,000 to the local recreation center for renovations. No. Really... https://www.wxyz.com/news/data-centers/oracle-openai-barn-data-center-breaks-ground-in-saline-township-additional-community-investments-announced npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…z0fk What app or process do you use to overlay the labels and constellation lines on the photo? Did you take that shot? It's a great way to illustrate the night sky. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: This is probably worth your time to read. It was for me. "Screen Time is a blame shift dressed in a soft font." "They sold you the condition. Now they sell you the treatment. The treatment is another thing that needs you." "You carry all of this below the surface. A low hum of open loops that never become urgent enough to resolve and never fully let go." npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…rfdy Nice deductive reasoning. Jeff is one of my favorite drummers who left us much too soon. That broad triplet 'power fill' was one of his trademarks and often copied. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…md6a Paper. We need to talk about the paper. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…md6a The way of the Jitsu-Jedi. And so it was written. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: "not happening" Me, after attempting to craft a pun-joke for 5 minutes. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…md6a Thanks for that link. I'm kicking the tires. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…f9wr The Blue Angels just called and said they are inbound for your street and to 'stay away from all windows'. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…s45y I read every post about lilacs with a southern woman's accent. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…rfdy Root cause analysis: WHAT IS MAKING THESE THINGS STICKY!? Also: Don't tell me why these things are sticky. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…wtsr I'm pretty sure I am not entering the right terminal window prompt to make this happen. I tried flatpak uninstall --all But org.gnome.Platform was not listed npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Calling all Linux Mint users. Come in, Linux Mint users. There is an annoying flatpak runtime package that continues to show up in my Update Manager, but never successfully installs: --> org.gnome.Platform (cb1ab03a49) What is this and how do I make it go away? #flatpak #LinuxMint #Linux npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…kl5p @nprofile…eqsh The problem herein: we won't even have an option to 'disable' anymore, it will be 'access to the thing you want will go through me.' Android OS and AI as gatekeepers - baked in. I think of all my efforts to de-Google and then I look at my phone and realize most all of my apps get updated via Google Play. Soon, no side-loading. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…emjv just don't hand the cap over. What does anyone do with a fountain pen without a cap? Hand it back to the owner. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Just a reminder: Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every #Android app whose developer hasn't registered with #Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID. https://keepandroidopen.org/en/ npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: True story: A coworker that I have been working with for 8 years and who has been a vocal MAGA supporter has denounced Trump's current blathering and incoherent rhetoric! In conversation today about gas prices, the economy, etc., coworker said, "I can't even listen to him anymore - I threw out my office clock* and my Trump gold coin." Coworker is a self-professed Christian. One of the final cards for him was the AI generated image of POTUS as Jesus. I had to listen to this guy's pro Trump bullshit for years. I never stepped into the political conversation 'trap' because...it's the workplace. I share this because I want others to know that WE are wearing them down. TRUMP is wearing them down. The clock is ticking and hearing this today was uplifting. Stay the course my friends! *a Trump clock that blared his voice: "We will make America great again! We will make America great again!" every hour, on the hour. #USPol npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…5f4x To be honest, I have it on my Linux laptop and have only opened it a few times to do what you also need it for - creating/editing/printing a document. So not much more to offer from there. Glad you are liking it plus you can't beat Free. Good luck! npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…5f4x The only viable way to proceed, in my opinion, is to kick Microsoft to the curb and download the free and open source Libre Office. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ It is compatible with MS Office. You will be able to open, read, edit, save, send MS Word docs. This would be the quickest route for you, as I don't have the means to do in-depth troubleshooting on MS products as I don't believe they deserve anyone's time and effort. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…wawd R.

I would check/do that first, *then* re-download the installation file under your Microsoft account. You can also check the MS website for Help documentation by searching 'failed installation'. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…xf2a It's when non government entities (Microsoft, Apple) require me to upload my I.D. / Passport where the real problem lies. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…xf2a The liquor store clerk may ask to see my I.D., but they aren't scanning it and digitally storing it in their own database. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…9fqk NEXT! npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: You guys aren't posting fast enough for my timeline so I'm going to watch TV. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…sdnf I had to fix a broken wheel when it fell off...with teeny tiny tools. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…sdnf When I was a baby they wrapped me in burlap potato sacks and pulled me around in a Flexible Flyer wagon! npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: From an email today: "Starting May 20, 2026 — 14 to 18 years after their initial launches — we are discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier. Here's what this means for you: * You can continue to read books already downloaded on these devices, but you will not be able to purchase, borrow, or download additional books on them after that date. * If you deregister or factory reset these devices, you will not be able to re-register or use these devices in any way. Affected devices include Kindle 1st and 2nd Generation, Kindle DX and DX Graphite, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle 4, Kindle Touch, Kindle 5, and Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation." This is really unfortunate. I have a perfectly good #Kindle 3 (!) that is small, lightweight, has the keyboard at the bottom and was given to me by my sis many moons ago. So instead of #Amazon just stopping support and still allowing me to use my device, they are going to BRICK them all and force upgrades. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…yh8m Xfinity is actually promoting this as a free motion detector.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk! npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…eesv YOU JUST STOP THAT npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…lxdz That 'missing' time was just your phone's AI sitting in for you for the first 59 minutes. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…f0v6 They had a reputation to begin with? npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…ww3l #Moshidon on Android, #Phanpy on Desktop! npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…tczu Cool. I just went to a rock and gem show. Someone had some massive megalodon teeth. https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/116/290/127/560/990/922/original/97eea3f3a3884150.jpg npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…tczu So basically you'll be 'killing two birds with one fossil'. Win/win. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…5dlp @nprofile…0jjs Why is this company not called 'Swerve'? npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Kagi's use of AI is a nothing burger being used for advertising purposes. Why are people swinging off of generated 'LinkedIn speak'. We should be ignoring things that lower our I.Q. This has zero staying power, and even Kagi is surprised it is still trending. If you are going to boil water, cook ramen noodles. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…eqsh In a war fought with drones, I would not want to be a paratrooper. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…lngt I thought we moved on from Chromebooks after the great Covid lock-down. I bought stock in an up and coming Abacus company, thinking analog was the true way to middle school enlightenment. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Does anyone remember the impressionist Rich Little? "The man of a 1000 voices." I distinctly remember him doing a bang up impressions of Richard Nixon, Dean Martin, and Jimmy Stewart. For those who are unfamiliar, here is a good sampling from an early Johnny Carson show.. https://youtu.be/nw8AYVwpPdQ?si=dJDU_8j8vKYlk2xP npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…nzx0 Bail outs might be based on past airline CEO contributions to the Trump coffer. I'm sure I'm missing something here that's tied to the stock market and insider trading. There always is. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: These questions keep floating through my mind: Do you REALLY need to travel by air? Is it make or break if you don't? Will others understand if you cancel your plans? How many less people would be standing in line if they had just said, "not worth it." npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…nrlp If a business uses physical price tags, they should honor those tags. The highest ranked mgr on duty is empowered to override pricing - they always have been. Waiting on a GM is bull. You called their bluff. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Not sure when this transition took place, but I'm comfortable in my ol' coot* skin. *An eccentric or irritable older person, especially a man, whose views or attitudes are considered boring or old-fashioned.

Typically, a severance package reflects one month for every year worked. Accepting means you can't seek any legal action against them. Sorry to hear of this. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: I guess our military has finally embraced Mastodon because I keep hearing about 'boosts on the ground.' npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: @nprofile…ntqg "...and it was “time for Smith to face the music.”" The Guardian for the win. npub1ypjmlx2v0xa37aczkt4mwt5cxzc83dam96eu43tqlpsdwqd3f6escedkuk Sam :mammoth: Watered the house plants.
