If casual cooking & management games are your jam (I will add a jam recipe soon), maybe give my web prototype a quick go and throw some feedback my way!

"I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
There are no popsicles in my way"
Always struck me as odd, but it made sense.

As a former dish washer, I wish people would have given me tablets.
if you are using tablets in the machine it may be stopping you cleaning the dishes properly. @techconnectify.bsky.social has a fantastic video about it all. youtu.be/jHP942Livy0

I hate how much Ai crap is on YouTube now. Ai thumbnails, Ai voices, fully Ai edited videos. I want to watch HUMANS. I want their actual thoughts, insight, etc. I don't want a robot pretending to be a human telling me nothing.

Thank you @krita.org for continuing to be free, open-source and for not adding a bunch of Ai nonsense or ads. Sure, Affinity is now free (still no Linux support) but they will 100% either put ads or paywall features eventually.

Here's how to turn it off.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to continue figuring out what is causing my cough. Last appointment he gave me an inhaler in case it is asthma but that didn't do anything. Although I noticed I cough when I first wake up but cough a lot while eating and a while after.

Watched Clown In A Cornfield yesterday. Was cool to see my small Canadian town in a movie. I delivered papers to the house the family lived in. The jail's exterior is actually an old Post Office which was the Library when I was a kid.
