Sorry for the imagery, but it's like an ouroboros made up of AI shillsters and hype-people centipedes.

Removed `pipewire-config-raop` package and the network audio devices are no longer showing up.

Here's to hoping that never happens again!

While it was nice to see AirPlay-enabled and other audio devices over the network in Fedora 43, but I definitely don't want my audio getting wired to devices that I didn't select and blasted out at full volume.

Yeah, as in that I think that they are a joke and I'm glad that I'm already talking to one of the other dealers in the area who have been super responsive and absolutely not doing a hard push.

I have also published photos from the #LiveWireRadio x #PortlandBookFestival Speakeasy Event at the Heathman Hotel with Susan Orlean over on Flickr

I also have wide feet and I've been mostly wearing New Balance for the past decade or so. Once in a while, I can find low-cut Columbia shoes that will fit, but that's not an easy find at their outlets or company store (whenever I get a rare guest pass).

I also got a shout-out during the credits read, but NPR does not include that in the segments available on their website.

Good thing the Wayback Machine captures old versions of the Wait Wait Podcast feed so that I can get the full podcast audio.

You didn't just imagine it. Luke used it in his Bluff for the April 25, 2020 show. It was supposed to be the show that I was going to travel to Chicago to celebrate my 40th birthday.

For obvious reasons, that didn't happen.
Bluff The Listener
Our panelists read three stories about underwear saving the day, only one of which is true.

The second time I was a listener contestant was two years later, this time for Who's Carl This Time?.

The folks at the show were disappointed that Monica Seles didn't win, since it would've been a good birthday present (it was taped in my birthday). The second time, the show aired on my birthday.
Who's Carl This Time?
Carl reads three quotes from the weeks news: Bad Credit? No Problem!; My Big Fat British Wedding; and iSpy.

I've only been selected as a listener contestant twice.

First time was for the Not My Job segment on the April 25, 2009 show with Monica Seles. There's a reason why I ended up as a listener contestant again 😆
Not My Job: Monica Seles
Tennis great Monica Seles plays our game called "I'm sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm chewing my beer." Three questions about the Guinness Brewing Company in honor of the company's 250th anniversary...
