Pretty close to the scene in The Changeling (1980)

You say tom8o tom@o, I say tom8to tom@to.

3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitors, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.

This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.

Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.

I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.

There’s Instapaper and once upon a time they even gave you an email address to send links into. Maybe they still do that.

Keepa is better, and depending on whether you’re conspiratorial, not compromised as 3Camels was accused of some years ago.

Ah yes, Lenny Kilmister, the lesser known but very quotable brother of Lemmy Kilmister.

“a stainless… steel… WOK.”

I’m going to need a supercut of this guy saying “WOK”.

Their email and even their “Plex: Free vs Paid” page is confusing. However, the “Requirements for Remote Playback of Personal Media“ is more clear.

I do not have a Plex Pass, but I stream remotely from a Plex Media Server

To stream video remotely from a Plex Media Server, you will need either a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass subscription on your account or the admin of the Plex Media Server from which you stream will need a Plex Pass subscription on their account.

I always envisioned it was a speck of dust on the floor somewhere.

I love a good minimalism joke.

Reminds me of this short story from the early days of the internet.

Or maybe “blog post”, before we even called them that.

lol I read somewhere that this is how you get an unfamiliar cat to befriend you. They want to smell up close. Try it out!

Finger in your ear and then hold it out for him to smell.

Thanks for this. The Silvertunes track is pretty great.

TIL about Big Youth and discovered where the Beastie Boys Ill Communication sample came from (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing).

“Dudes and dudettes” seems more on the level.

Deep thoughts from Teflon Don.

For a brief moment during Bush(Cheney) years, there was this screensaver with some of the more outlandish quotes from his press briefings.

He had a way with words, and that way was to go nowhere. It was an art form.

Sadly, yes.

RSS off of other profile content (such as posts) serves an acceptable function I guess (e.g. cross-posting, blog feed) but sharing saved posts does not meet the cut for some reason.

Feel free to jump on that ticket and articulate a more compelling argument, if it’s still open. More votes might change their stance over time.

Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.

A colleague of mine just pointed this app out. I love that this exists.

But make sure to dig into the additional info and draw your own conclusions.

For instance, it ranked Pure Life water (a typical bottle of water) at 65/100 because it contained sodium bicarbonate. This is something in the category of emulsifiers, a category that one study related to breast cancer, a preliminary study noted to have discrepancies. That’s a few leaps of correlation via a single one-time study with documented issues.

Anyway, I’d say the app is still worthwhile then having no easy guidance on product health and safety.

This is great! Thank you so much for giving me some direction here.

I’m going to give this a whirl on one of the units and see how it goes.
