I got a call last week from a car dealership asking for Linda, again, and I said “I get calls for Linda all the time,” and that my caller ID comes up as “Linda,” and that now, when I call my dad he shouts “YO LINDA” as a greeting. And the dealership rep told me that Linda is a sweet old lady who is hoping to get a car soon. I asked the rep if she would say hi to Linda for me and she said for sure she would.

Graphene lists all the pixel models they support and for how long. grapheneos.org/faq#device-lifetime
Finally had to ditch my 3a this month because Google is psychotic and it’s too old for graphene or lineage. Sucks bc the phone still works great. I’ve temporarily got an 8a running graphene, and am loving it, but will be switching to a 9a shortly for non pertinent reasons. It is such a weird feeling of relief to be on a secure OS.

Ohhh. I sincerely thought you were referring to your own personal small appliance drawer, hah. Glad I revisited this comment.

Not enough plastic for that until further along in the loaf…!?

Is that how you think of your “random small appliance” drawer? Aka. The junk drawer of the kitchen.

Thank you for bringing me a small slice of the Old Internet, 1.0. I miss it, and it’s very specific websites, tremendously and frequently.
Kids, check it out. This should have been your inheritance.

I can keep track of the clip for about 1/3 of the bread loaf… until the twist is long enough to tuck easily. Then, sometimes I’m even too put-upon to twist and I simply wrap and tuck.

Wow. A quick dip in the toilet killed my 3a (but there might have been poop involved).

They capitalized the W in “what,” so must be so! heh
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 3 weeks ago:
Speaking of indie, have you tried some of the newer Justin Vernon singles? Prob not exactly what you’re looking for, but heavily influenced by gospel, particularly AUATC and PDLIF. I mean, he seems to be a god guy, but it’s subtle.
As for call and response, I’m a sucker for sea shanties. Singing them in groups is the best (everyone sings the “response”), but there are some good recordings too. Try the Longest Johns for some well-produced recordings. It’s a slippery slope to traditional music though… You’ve been warned.
- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 1 month ago:
Novice question: I think I am understanding that Aurora is a way of accessing the Google store without actually installing the Google Play Store, but is there a software package that it comes with? Is it MicroG? I am a little lost with how these relate to each other.
I installed Lineage and MindtheGapps on my Pixel 3a yesterday, but I’m interested in alternatives before I commit to this setup. It seemed like the easiest route given my lack of know-how, but my hope had been to de-Google gracefully and I don’t know if that’s possible with system-level Google still installed on my phone.

Drink it earlier in the day, not all after dinner. I drink a full glass of water when my alarm goes off in the morning, and keep a bottle with me almost always. Add some sliced cucumber or other flavor to convince yourself to take sips throughout the day.

Trying to catch a baby duck is like trying to hold water, or happiness, in your hands. They seem to be Schrodingers ducks for how rapidly and unexpectedly they move.
And an adult duck? They sometimes pet you back! I kept ducks for a while and one would regularly preen my fingers as though they were feathers.
Ducks can be happiness.

Citizenship question: my grandfather’s parents were born in Ireland. My grandfather, who didn’t know he had been adopted until much later in life (by a Jewish woman), became an Irish citizen in his 50s and had dual citizenship until his death.
As a desperate American… can I get Irish citizenship through my grandfather, a naturalized Irish citizen who was not born in Ireland?? I can (understandably) not find an answer to this on the Irish citizenship website.
Sincerely, an American who spent 12 hours protesting at a No Kings rally yesterday

Also realize that there are different places you might feel comfortable driving. For example, I try to avoid driving through large towns and cities as much as I can. I’d rather someone else drive. There’s just too much going on while watching for cars, traffic cues, as well as pedestrians.
On the flip side, my brother hit another car on his very first driving lesson and never drove again! He’s happily living in a city with public transportation :-) just make sure you’re able to get around without relying on others.
