The new #PocketCasts #LiquidGlass design has made it more annoying to use. The weird little pill shape to show what is playing is so slim that it is easy to miss with a thumb. This is the same in other apps that have adopted this awful Apple design. I’m tempted to see if I can just swi…

A top official with the Maine Democratic Party said on Tuesday night that
Graham Platner’s team had been trying to “put their thumb on the scale”
in the party’s planning for his replacement as the Democratic nominee for Senate,
-- but that he would have “no role” in the selection process.
“We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner’s team that they have no role in determining our U.S. Senate nominee,
nor in determining what this process looks like,”

Evening Squash Bug War: Casualty Report
10 adults KIA, 4 egg pods destroyed.
O cursed stinkèd foe, thou crept upon my vine!
But lo — my thumb of justice, swift and firm,
Hath crushed thy copper eggs and broke thy line.
The Union garden stands. Begone, thou bug.

My rules of thumb:
• Interesting, you can make up on the fly, but memorable takes work.
• NPCs only need the stats that PCs interact with; often, they don't even need names. Save your effort for significant characters with a standout, unique ability or two, and a paragraph or two of history. Everyone else gets generic stat blocks—but only if the PCs fight them. (Or whatever your #TTRPG&…

Again a few good podcasts, I especially liked the one about The Pre-Training Wall and the Mythical Man Month.

I’m wondering if a clever solution exists that I’m not aware of. Situation: I need to keep a number of PDFs and videos on a thumb drive. Only one folder’s contents should be accessible at any given time (we’re talking low security) because students will have a thumb drive with their exam question on it and having as many thumb drives as questions are out of the question, sadly. For now my best idea is a password-protected zip. It should work on macOS and Windows without having to mess with a…

@… I see the photo. Jesus.
If it cheers you up: I suffered a worse thumb injury whilst standing on a chair with a pair of scissors snipping away at the mains electrical cable dangling from a ceiling rose. Standing on tiptoe, probably.
At the hospital, they asked me to describe the injury. I couldn't describe it because I couldn't bear to think about…

Not a cat lover, but an #AI "viral" channel posted this video, Try curing cancer first a-holes 😔
"Easiest tell is the weird low hanging voids for doorways and extremely low res (no number plate details, some of the cars look squished in the background) and the building in the background makes no sense. General rule of thumb: if it's a 7 second video with low resoluti…

That is bad.
As a lover of NW lower Michigan, I think it’s great that TC and environs are getting more robust.
But everything north of the Thumb gets short shrift. It’s not terribly conv…

a little double pipe action?
i was originally going to use IPEX white solid pipe for this part of the plumbing, but it stuck out like a sore thumb and was difficult to conceal.
Luckily, I got a bonus 50ft of flexible 2" black pipe last year after Amazon sent me it even though I had cancelled and refunded the order. I thought I might sell it but never got any bites. So here we are!

I banged my thumb against something, put a bandaid on it, and now I can't use the fingerprint scanner on my phone.
