Merlyn’s! A great spot to see up and comers their day. I know that U2 played there, Scott Ian of Anthrax told me had a special place in his heart for it (I met him once walking down a London street; he was with the guys from Living Color. 1989.

We’re trying to disable the stolen phone setting. So that I can rescan my face. But now I’m locked out of doing so because Stolen Phone setting requires a FaceID, which is not being recognized, and is what I’m trying to reset. This is a huge pain in the ass and I don’t think effective against theft.

I’m on the phone with Apple. I can’t reset FaceID because I’m on some kind of delay for changing the Stolen Device setting. Which is still reading as being on.

So I’m locked out of my own phone and casual thief could break this. I bet this happens a lot.

I don’t see any mechanism by which to add a “significant location”. I’m trying to get into my medical chart and info and now this.

And by they I mean “we,” thanks to taxes and a destroyed federal government.

As a double alumna of UVA, I am appalled and disgusted by this pathetic and 100% unnecessary caving in to the corrupt power grab by the Trump administration. Add to that the underhanded behavior of the Board of Visitors lying and manipulating President Ryan into resigning. It’s obscene.
