I still use them daily - not to clean my ears, but just because it's such a pleasant sensation.
I confess, I use them often for cleaning edge connectors of all sorts, with rubbing alcohol -- I guess I was more meaning on one's person.

As agents were driving away, they pointed a pepper ball gun and then a real gun at Chris Gentry, a combat veteran who was lawfully standing on the side of the road. The agent who pointed the real gun at Mr. Gentry’s face said “bang, bang,” and “you’re dead liberal.”

Q-tips: the only thing anyone ever uses them for is sticking them in their ears, which is the very thing we are strongly warned against doing with them.

What are we supposed to act like we are doing with them that isn't their unspoken and only use?
I'm not sure how that got through QA.
You hit the same Tahoe bug I did. I found a solution (posted on Masto earlier):

SOLUTION: If you turn desktop widgets OFF, this broken behavior occurs. If you turn them ON but remove (or move) the widgets on your own, the problem disappears. See link:

Tahoe is still very much a beta.

Safari sometimes does this,
Is there some way to disable macOS Tahoe's Finder's enormously spaced grid that prevents moving icons where I want them? Even at smallest grid setting, placing near edge of screen pushes icons to the neighboring display! It's ridiculous and bad.

How'd it go? That's more "chippy" than mine. An early rev?
A video posted last night by the President of the United States on his own social media platform.

It looks like HP is ending support for HP-UX on Dec 31st of this year, though. (I was surprised it was still active!)

I have an HP-9000 712/100, but mainly use NEXTSTEP on it.

I finally built the BlueSCSI v2 kit I ordered from @museumjoe.bsky.social like a year ago and I'm pleased to report that it works perfectly in my HP 712/80 with both HP-UX and NeXTSTEP!

I did have to create a bluescsi.ini file for NeXTSTEP, though, as it wants specific drive geometry.
Indeed. And that bundled Geometry Wars clone wasn't half bad!
Any fans of the GP2X console from GamePark Holdings? Here are some photos of mine taken a little over 15 years ago.

Still works like a charm, ofc. :-)

I guess I should just give up. Over the past few weeks, I will be actively walking on my daily walk, tracking it on the Apple Watch, and the it will ask me if I'm done with my workout.

WHILE I AM WALKING AND SWEATING.
