Power is out, which means no AC. It has been out for an hour and a half now and it’s starting to get stuffy. Hope it comes back soon or it’s going to be a long night.
I have a 2015 Macbook Pro that I’m not longer using and it’s no longer getting updates from Apple. Last night I installed Linux Mint on it since it’s been a while since I played around in Linux. UX and UI has come a long way. Not sure what I’ll use it for yet.
Favorite salts (in order most to least):
I just lowered my internet bill by $20 a month and got twice the speed. I should have called my cable company a long time ago.
Pleasantville is such a good movie. The fact that I love it so much despite disliking the two main actors in the movie goes to show how good the story is.
Random lights turning on by themselves used to be a sure sign of a ghost. Now it just means a bug in HomeKit.

The Max app is so shitty I would cancel their service if I wasn’t getting it for free.
Animated artwork in the Music app is kinda neat, but I don’t think I need 2Pac blinking at me.
It looks like Proton Pass now has support for credit card entries and notes. It doesn’t look like credit card autofill works, but they are making progress quickly. I may be ditching my current solution sooner than I expected. Still waiting for a Safari extension though.
My dog has been itchy all summer. He even broke open his skin and caused an infection on his shoulder that is still healing 3 months later. The only thing that seems to help (to some extent) are pills that cost $81 for a 30 day supply and he’s itchy as soon as they run out. Time for a new vet?
I have never clicked on a YouTube short on purpose.
Tupac Shakur was a huge presence in my adolescence. All these years later he remains in my top 10 played artists each year. It will be interesting to see if anything comes from the search warrant that was executed in relation to his murder that took place more than 25 years ago.
Instagram ads are creepily on point.

There were some stupid scenes and effects in The Flash but overall I had fun. Shocked at some of the cameos. It probably deserved better at the box office.
I’m really interested in e-bikes. Does anyone have experience with them? What to look out for?
How many times does it need to be said that the GOP is not pro-life and hates poor people?
I did not see this coming. The son-in-law of the blue and black dress lady was charged with trying to kill his wife.
