I dug up some of my old cassettes from the cellar. I think I got them in 1993 or something …
As you can tell, I was in the cool AC/DC faction and NOT the loser Guns‘n‘Roses faction! 😂

A few months back I was trying to find an iPod like device for my kid because she’s easily overloaded by infinite streams.

These menu-ized items in Tahoe confuse me like hell: the first one looks like 🚫, the second like a band aid 🩹, the third doesn't have an icon acting like a separator enhancing the confusion because I was looking for the fourth but not expecting it after a separator.

Our cargo bike’s rear wheel exploded today, the rim was completely destroyed. 💥
Also, the Enviolo hub started leaking oil. They replaced our previous one where that happened under warranty, not sure what it’ll be now. 💀
Sigh …

Aaand … we’re done! Today was tough: the needle broke, the thread was finished midway, the sewing machine didn't turn on anymore, two unrelated pieces of fabric were sewed together accidentally.
But now it’s done and the kid is thrilled by the result 😍
