With all the ghost gun discussion around the SC decision, I'm wondering if folks are thinking about requiring tracers in 3D-printed materials. Kind of how printers include a code on every page, to track down counterfeiters. The more 3D printers are used for bad things, the more this seems likely.

Evicted some rats from our back porch this afternoon. We played "who's the most scared?" when I uncovered their lair. I might have jumped. But I'd like to note that they were the ones to run away :-)

Wish there was a software swear jar. Not to stop profanity. A jar full of cash filled by the developers, and debited whenever a user swore at their software. Might lead to better UI. Just a thought.

Apparently nobody on the Apple Maps team ever make pit stops on the road. Nothing like stopping for gas and snacks and trying to re-start a trip. Only to not have good enough cell phone service to re-route the trip. Wish there was a way to pause a trip (to stop the nagging) or do a quick restart.

Geek on: I'd really like to see a cost/benefit breakdown for multi-factor authentication. Including the time lost when One Time Passcodes (OTPs) from big security companies just don't work (MIA). I'm thinking the tribute to an Online Thieves Guild would be cheaper in the long run.

With all that's going on, this is how I spent my evening. Only took two trips to Lowes. Not sure if this is #5 or #6 in my lifetime. Just happy I looked at the instructions to remember to take out the plug for the dishwasher drain line. RTFM for the win.

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.

For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.

Thanks 🙏😎
