Thanks all! I’ll try (slightly) soapy water and see if that helps. I guess it’s good it’s indoors, not so many plants for it to hurt this way.

Yes you can! I got a booster at CVS, with same day appointment. My health insurance covered it at no cost. Doc said it’s safe to get additional and will get you a boost in protection.

Fun fact: historians think she never actually said the famous line attributed to her (“let them eat cake”), which was supposedly evidence used to show her indifference to economic troubles in France at the time. It’s believed that the line was crafted to feed anti-nobility sentiment among the working class that ultimately led to the French Revolution. (Here’s a source, but there’s many put there)

It’s a good thing that we’ve progressed to the point that nobody uses false information to drive political narratives anymore. /s

I ended up watching all 20 min of this video. Crazy amount of thought and detail he put into it, and a very impressive result.

FYI even if you have been vaccinated you may still need to get a booster.

TDLR: if you were vaccinated in the 1960s you may need a whole new course of boosters. Also, if you were vaccinated before 1989, you may need one additional shot, since the 2-shot model wasn’t recommended by the CDC until then.

Stay safe out there folks.

It would be great if our legislators would serve reasonable term lengths instead of coasting on name recognition and being the lesser of two evils in reelections and literally stroking out at press conferences.

Interesting effect. Was the candle just a resist?

I’ve been learning it over the last few weeks, and I can say it definitely has a learning curve for folks used to the Microsoft style, it’s pretty solid. Integration with the affinity photo and designer are nice too - moving assets across them is incredibly easy.

It’s not free but it’s really affordable, and it’s not on a subscription so once you buy it you own it. Would recommend checking it out.

Omg that looks awesome!

Bummer that they’re out of stock…

Did those scientists never read jurassic park?

Not that bringing back the dodo bird or mammoths would have quite the same effect probably but species go extinct for a reason.

Omg they are hilarious.

If I was on the twitters (or Blueskys now I guess) I’d definitely follow them.

The font for the title looks like the font used for Campbell’s soup and I misread it at first thinking rhats what it said and wondered why anyone would make a movie about soup.

This movie looks considerably more interesting. Super excited to see Guillermo in something after What we do in the Shadows.

It ends with us is the undercover GOAT of this list, making about 14 times its budget, and with a relatively low cost of $25M.

Everything else cost more than $100M except Kung fu Panda and didn’t return nearly as much proportionally.

What?!? I’ve been wanting a fairphone forever and couldn’t find a place to send it stateside. This is great.

Okay so after skimming the article I saw that they developed what they call a “family of shapes” that were optimized for minimal heat transfer–but they didn’t provide any visuals? The images they showed in the article were of commonly available glasses instead. Couldn’t they sketch one up based on their models?

Seriously disappointing.

I don’t understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.

I look forward to Apple Marketing coming up with their usual line of nonsense, like a meaningless name for an existing capability that they are claiming to have invented.

They cut thousands of jobs in the name of efficiency, then roll out an AI customer service bot to replace people in managing problems with their flashy new AI tool that is glitching out, more expensive and delivering worse results.

Surely nobody saw this coming right?

I don’t get why HP continues selling in the consumer market if they are struggling so much to make a profit.It seems like they are trying to force a business model on the wider market that doesn’t work.

The subscription model makes more sense in the B2B world where companies just want fixed costs without doing too much shopping around (for things like printer cartridges anyway).
