Oooh, ooh, ooh… look what just arrived! I’ve been waiting almost a year for it and boy was it worth the wait. My new Linux laptop is a… tablet? Yep. The StarLabs StarLite.
Oh and the screen on this thing! 😍

StarLite 12.5-inch
Its fanless design ensures your StarLite will never make more than a whisper - unless you want it to. The Mk V supports coreboot open source firmware which you can effortlessly configure to your preferences via our coreboot configurator.

Somehow, #Costco was *out of carts*. I don't know how that happens. There were people waiting at the entrance, trailing other people to their cars to grab their carts.
"No sweat," I told the security people at the store entrance. "I brought my own cart."

I know it sometimes seems like a bit of a pointless kitchen gadget, but I love my soup maker.
Grab a bunch of slightly-past-their-best veggies from the bottom drawer of the fridge. Throw them in the machine with a stock cube. Fill with water. Press the button.
Then go and waste time on Mastodon for half an hour (protip: you could do something useful with your life in this period of time, but honestly why would you!).
Come back into the kitchen 30 minutes later to find a lovely hot tasty and probably fairly healthy soup waiting for you.
I'd do that "follow me for more recipes" meme thing but realistically this is probably your lot!

Sparks – “Angst In My Pants” (1982)
Not sure what year I got this, but it was definitely after seeing Valley Girl 😎
Along with “Whomp That Sucker” and “In Outer Space”, this was a big part of the soundtrack to my early teen years. I remember seeing them play at Magic Mountain in 1983. I just happened to be there at that time. Total coincidence.

On Wednesday, @… contacted me and asked if I was willing to brainwash him again at some point. It had been awhile since I did a proper hypnosis session with him, and I was very glad that he asked! Fortunately, I had some free time that evening, so we planned a time to videochat.

I will only say I remain very disappointed in VIU Admin's approach.

Take a gander at this blockade of geese. 😉
I had to pass under that bridge and while I was paralyzed with indecision on how to accomplish it, I was astonished to witness an elderly gentleman just cruise right on through unbothered.
“You just have to be the boss!”, he called back with a wink.
As I walked through, there was much hissing and flapping, but no attack. I am evidently not the boss. Middle management, perhaps.

I’ve been slacking a bit on writing up my hypno experiences! Last weekend, I met up with @… again to continue his slave training, and we had a very fun time together. On Wednesday, @… asked me for a brainwashing sess…

It would be helpful if 19th through 23rd Street had bike lanes immediately approaching Mission St even if they don’t otherwise have bike lanes. I’m frequently stuck behind cars waiting to turn for the entire light cycle, and there’s no space to filter through to the front due to parked cars.

Friends of Slow 22nd on Instagram: "Can you tell what’s missing in the first photo? Photo 1: 22nd Street, looking west across Mission. Photo 2: 20th Avenue, looking north across Lincoln. Both 22nd Street and 20th Avenue are essential bicycle routes in San Francisco. Both intersect with major streets. Both go through vibrant neighborhoods. But 22nd Street does not have equitable bicycle infrastructure — for example, green bike boxes at signalized intersections. 20th Avenue has them. 22nd Street does not. Green paint isn’t everything, but people on 22nd Street in the Mission should enjoy the same safety features as other parts of the city (or better!). Bike boxes at all signalized intersections would be a start, and they’d indicate to drivers which streets are meant to be bike routes. Let’s make it happen. P.S.: There’s one more difference between the two photos. 20th Avenue isn’t on the city’s list of high-injury streets. 22nd Street is. #visionzero #visionzerosf #bicycle"
