So I got one of these lights from Ikea, so I can finally see my Mac mini and all the cables plugged into the back of it, under my desk.
Just press the light to turn it on and off. Can plug into USB port or adapter.

Glad the one that is only hallucinating 48% of the time is gaining traction in healthcare, legal and financial services, where a single error costs millions
Found this absolute graph crime, where the dot that is lowest apparently has 48 % fail rate!?

If the Bluetooth connection on your Mac keeps breaking up, has static, or drops audio frequently, you may need to reset your Bluetooth, which for Monterey and newer requires this Terminal command:
sudo pkill bluetoothd
This fixed the crappy audio I was getting from my Mac through my hearing aids.

🎵 And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?" 🎵

I've never had empanadas before, let alone made one. After watching a few YouTube videos I tried winging it to make some tonight.
300g of ground beef, one potato, two mall onions, peppers and corn made 19 empanadas - enough to feed 5-6 people.
Cheated w/the dough and used store-bought puff pastry.

Like all "Trump Plans," the Ukraine Deal to end the war is a steaming pile of shit.
Russia started the war and gets everything they want, Ukraine gets nothing.
I really hope the Canadian government continues to back Ukraine and equip them with money and weapons they need to defend themselves.
