wow I had no idea my partner was supposed to be cleaning his CPAP daily/weekly or at all! Thanks for the info. He uses the nasal pillows kind, and I doubt I will be able to convince him to start cleaning the thing, but it's good info to have in my back pocket in case problems turn up

Important to remember who this guy is when there are so many people telling us he's the inevitable Dem nominee for 2028 we should all be rallying around immediately

Do you remember when Gavin got all that shit for having a dinner party at the French Laundry back during Covid lockdown? It was a birthday party for a major health insurance lobbyist.

Just had an argument with a client of mine who thinks my reaction to what's going on is hysterical and misinformed. Does not (by his own admission) know who Steven Miller is, has never heard of Project 2025 or the Heritage Foundation. But thinks *I* am misinformed.

I lived in PDX for 6 years but if you're not wealthy enough to afford a car and good home heating the grey months can be really hard to get through

by April every year I was a mess

granola + fruit + yoghurt = breakfast

maybe also frittata made at home and cut into squares?

Lots of good frozen microwave food at Trader Joe's if that's acceptable to you; my kids still eat the hell out of the soup dumplings

Yes! They had one or two kid-pleasers (Apple Jacks, Froot Loops) and some in-betweens and then the Horribles (Special K, Grape-Nuts) so vacation camping breakfasts started out glorious but with lots of squabbling about who got what and ended morose but with waaay less bickering

That's love for ya

Thankfully you like some interesting artists! Not gonna say who I listened to for love of my kids cuz I don't want to yuck anybody's yum but love is real (and now I listen to my kid's college radio show every Wednesday a.m. and sometimes I hear songs they first heard from me 🥰🥲)

Or if they can't normalize the right, they'll demonize the left to try to even things out, like today's editorial "Mamdani is the Left's Trump" like, oh really? Mamdani's a convicted tax cheat and pedophile rapist? Missed that somehow.

Exactly! I started this back when Google search was still good and still viewed as a generally good company but folks were starting to use google docs, gmail, android phone, Nest thermostats, and I thought mmm I don't want any one company to have access to so many parts of my life, that seems bad

Yes, it's all humans have the right to dignity and freedom over their own bodies and their lives. That's my issue.

Okay, thanks! Just wanted to check that my kneejerk policy of not using sourcing all my tech from the same company wasn't leading me astray this time.

Serious question: why use Chrome? I never have; just figured Google wants me to, so it's probably best if I avoid it. What am I missing, if anything?

Not Schiff (check his voting record before you assume he's staunchly willing to go against Trump), definitely Warren
