That’s the neat part, you don’t!

I said chicharrón, I meant chicarrón.

Senorita Chicharrónes rolls across the tongue better.

Smashing Pumpkins 1979 was released on their 1995 album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Its already much longer between 2024 and 1995 than it is between 1995 and 1979. Almost by twice!

I remember the actual 1979. Egads, I’m old.

Not great, he’s kind of a Meathead.

I also mainly don’t use screen Auto Rotate, but I did make it a tile on the window shade. Rather than toggle it manually, I have Tasker enable rotation when an app that I want to auto-rotate is active on the screen, and disable it when that app is not active.

It doesn’t put anything up on the status bar, but if you can live without it knowing only certain apps do it, maybe it doesn’t matter.

    Profile: Auto-rotate Apps
    Settings: Restore: yes
    	Application: Sky Map, Camera, Gallery...
    
    
    
    Enter Task: Enable Auto-rotate
    
    A1: Display AutoRotate [
         Set: On ]
        If  [ %ROTATE_APP_LOCK Set ]
    
    A2: Variable Clear [
         Name: %ROTATE_APP_LOCK ]
    
    
    
    Exit Task: Disable Auto-rotate
    
    A1: Variable Set [
         Name: %ROTATE_APP_LOCK
         To: 1 ]
        If  [ %ROTATE_APP_LOCK !Set ]
    
    A2: Display AutoRotate [ ]

I’d finally have time to read The Silmarillion.

TIL people still shop at Best Buy.

If you want to get fleeced but still be respected the next morning, shop Monoprice or NewEgg.

Jeez. Best Buy? Just shop like you deserve to be treated like a carpet.

NO BITING. NO SCRATCHING.

Anything else goes. 🔥❤️

The American Bible Belt are Evangelical Baptists, and an odd offshoot of Presbyterian. They’re… special. I know them to be reactive, xenophobic and downright ornery.

They are also absolutely, rabidly devout.

There’s a whole order of Jesuits who are basically the Pope’s scientists, and who curated the ancient knowledge through the Dark and Middle Ages.

In fact, the current Pope is a Jesuit.

Voyager. It economizes on screen real estate, and has similar (therefore, familiar to me) ergonomics as Relay did back at the old place.

Tight design that stays out of the way, and updates frequently.

Well, how did I get here??

I have a few automations:

• Between 11pm and 7am, and if not connected to a list of BT headsets or speakers: lower the main media volume to 0.
• If one of a list of apps is on the main screen: activate screen auto-rotate, then disable it as an exit task.
• If the phone is less than 30m from the lat/lon of the center of my house: set a variable NEAR_HOME=1, and set NEAR_HOME=0 as an exit task
• If my phone is not connected to my home SSID and NEAR_HOME isn’t set: activate the Wireguard profile to connect to my home router, and deactivate it as an exit task
• At 9am every day, issue a notification showing the number of days remaining to a significant date occurring later this year.

I used to have several more to correct certain idiosyncrasies my phone would have on boot, low battery and a few other repeatable conditions, but those things got fixed with system updates, or ceased to be relevant.

Mom’s priest buddy is my spirit animal. That’s awesome.
