Love it when my apartment complex silently removes functionality from its closed source smart thermostat

Naming all of your characters the same thing in a video game is all fun and games until you actually care who is who

They thought you were "snitching" on them to Bluesky staff and instantly labeled you as "liberal" and a few people jumped in on the bandwagon

Next up: Gala!

More sweet and tart balance in this one. None of the flavor notes really sung to me though. A perfectly acceptable apple bite, but didn't wow me.

First up... Fuji!

SWEET. REALLY SWEET. Oddly, unlike my unpleasant Red Delicious experience, I didn't mind it. The sweetness was more full-bodied and honey-like. Tiniest bit of acidity at the end. Enjoyable!

Same rack as the original post except with the glass door closed and the Playstation 5 mounted into a fitted 3U enclosure at the bottom.

A 15U short depth wall mounted network rack in my living room which centralizes all my network, power, video game console, and HTPC wiring. It is a rats nest of cables with near zero cable management.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?
Cross stitched (I think) in the Pornhub visual style that says "That's Gross" with the first word in black background in white letters and rhe second word in orange background with black letters with a black border. Stitched in black under that are the words "wanna try it?"

Yep that tracks
A picture of the post I am replying to right here which replied to a post from a person who has been flagged as using an "AI Avatar or Banner" because of course a feckless liberal is perfectly fine with burning the planet to generate garbage art stolen from human artists.
