   I've been seeing articles on the resurgence of "dumbphones". This will never be attractive to me, since the dumb phone only does voice calls and SMS, two things I hate using and try as much as possible to avoid. The things I find most useful about my "smartphone" are the things that are the least phone-like. Phones are the worst.

   Good to see some cities trying out free transit, and having good results with it.

   I started playing Black Myth: Wukong this weekend and it's great. Hard as fuck, but beautiful and surprising.

   So many people voted against their own interests. Have y'all not been paying any attention to what's been going on?

   Just an FYI for people who use pod-feeder-v2, I've just pushed a new release that updates some package dependencies and overall now requires python 3.9+

   No actual features or fixes in this one, so it's fine not to update if you're stuck on an older python version.

    I have three half-gallon jars of chilis fermenting. I'd like to make a bunch of different hot sauces. Anyone have any good recipes? One jar cayenne, one is red jalapeno and the other is green jalapeno.

    So, the Ontario Conservatives are resorting to bribery now.

      I've decided that when my bribery cheque comes in, I'll be sending it to the Green Party of Ontario. If Doug thinks that he can buy my vote, I'm going to use that money against him instead.

    Is it just me or has the right-wing conspiracy fringe in the US kind of toned it down this election? I mean, they're still churning out bigoted nonsense, but people eating dogs and cats seems much more plausible than world leaders having secret baby-killing orgies in the basement of a pizzeria. Maybe that's just me.

    Even if I know why it is that way, I’m still upset that at equal load, running a smaller engine at nominal capacity is more efficient than running a bigger engine at lower capacity.

      @Brian Ó I expect it to last until my dying breath. It's a low-level upset that I can maintain for ever.

    While I also occasionally suffer from the regular FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), I mainly suffer from KIMO (Know I’m Missing Out) about the following behaviors:
    - Belonging to a cult, whether it’s religious, sports or political.
    - Believing individual words have any inherent power.
    - Enjoying recreational drugs, including alcohol, smoking and coffee.

    And I feel it makes it harder for me to find a meaning for my life given I’m not experiencing the full range of behaviors it offers. 🤔

    German language capitalizes all nouns, sure. But why not go all the way in composite nouns, like ComicHeft or BundesDatenSchutzGesetz?
