Food tracked in the MacroFactor app gets archived in Apple Health. Meanwhile, Guava Health is poking around that archive, and testing correlations of everything to everything else to see what it can find. And we get... this? I fear that we have a https://xkcd.com/882/ situation.
An “insight” from Guava Health that reads: “REM Sleep down 13% with Caramel M&Ms”.

XG 6, what are you doing!? There is literally no cable plugged into port 4, because ports 3 and 4 glitched out and stopped working the other week. How could STP be triggering?

Eagerly awaiting the shipping of the new Pro XG 8 PoE.

Note that macOS 26 has chonk window control buttons. Existing apps retain their smol buttons when run on 26. This is gated on the SDK that you link. When you link the macOS 26 SDK you automatically get chonk buttons.

This is courtesy of `-[NSTitledFrame sizeOfTitlebarButtons]`. If you fiddle with
Two overlapping windows on macOS 26. The window control buttons are noticeably larger on one window. Two overlapping Chrome windows. One has significantly smaller buttons than the other.

Time to descend into the madness that is scrolling and swiping. Wish me luck.

A good keyboard has about 13 fluid ounces of key switches.

Can someone at IMDB help accept this goofs entry? It was rejected and I’m resubmitting with an explanation.
An IMDB “goofs” submission: When Dr. Robotnik is grilling his grandfather Gerald, Dr. Robotnik asks him what the "most elegant formula in mathematics" is, and Gerald replies that it is Euler's identity. However, Gerald mispronounces Euler's name as "yoo-ler," when anyone who considers Euler's identity to be that elegant would surely know that the correct pronunciation is "oy-ler". with the explanation: The formula in question is Euler’s Identity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity). The mathematician after which it is named is Leonhard Euler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler). Please go to the Wikipedia page. You will see on the very first line: “Leonhard Euler (/ˈɔɪlər/ OY-lər;[b]” The correct way to pronounce Euler’s name is “oy-ler”. If you go to footnote “b” in the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler#cite_note-7) you will see: “The pronunciation /ˈjuːlər/ YOO-lər is considered incorrect.[2][3][4][5]” with four different references. The pronunciation given by Gerald Robotnik is wrong. This is a legitimate goof on the part of the character.
