Generally, I don’t like political parties. They seem to be just another way for humans (mammals) to herd-think and for othering. Both are encapsulated in statements like, “vote for us, we will save you and democracy from them who are trying to destroy it.”
If you can’t stand the heat, maybe stop looking up the temperature all the time.
AirPods Pro 2 because I needed them
I bought my AirPods Pro back in November 2020 or so. Lately, I thought I was having a problem with the left one. The level seems lower, it’s making some weird noises, sometimes Siri has No Idea what I’m asking for (more than usual, wise guy), Lori said she mostly heard crackling sometimes when I called, and probably some other things.
Since we’re going on a flight this weekend, I decided to splurge and get a new set of AirPods Pro 2. Wow, what a difference. And it made me realize, the first set had not been working correctly for quite a while. I had been noticing that I’d been hearing noise despite being in Noise Cancellation mode, but I thought it was because of poor fit or something like that. I thought the noises were because I was running and soaking wet with perspiration probably all over the AirPods. The new ones are giving me near silence in Noise Cancellation. All the things I mentioned above, and even weird hums when I insert the AirPod, rattling and thumping noises, are probably all because they’re not working correctly, at least the left one.
I plan to see if Apple will fix them after I get back into town. There is a Service Program so maybe it falls under that. I think I should be within the three years they mention, though I don’t know how they will tell. I have nothing to lose besides time. Also, my Apple Pencil 2 is acting weirdly as well. It doesn’t stay charged and nearly every time I use it I have to stick it to the side of my iPad to charge it and make it see it. If I leave it on the side, it doesn’t stay charged. I don’t think it was always this way. Good thing I like Apple Stores.
Every time I think, “I wish they’d do a modern version of the old Mission: Impossible TV series,” I remember and go, “duh, we’ve been watching Leverage for years.”
Yeah, the tone is different, but they also have a lot of one-for-one parallels.
You can only drive your own car.
I purchased a new product, did my first unboxing video, hooked it up, recorded some of the steps, was going to do a review, and it didn’t work. At first, it was definitely my fault for connecting it incorrectly, but since then I’ve discovered other issues that I’m working with their support on. It’s a great product and I’m excited to get it working, but bummed that these issues are holding me back both from using it fully as intended and recording the review.
Something melted on the bed. It looks like it was an ice cream sandwich.
Every year, Formula One produces opening titles with all the drivers, and they make them all look serious and hard.
Then in the middle of the 2023 season, there was a driver change…
(Yes, I changed the order for the better punchline. No disrespect to the title contenders intended.)
I will continue to call him Teflon Don until something sticks.
I’m not holding my breath.
As far as these old politicians, I know some think they’re just holding on to power and that’s what it’s all about. But, a big part of the issue is that there isn’t really a system or method to help them out of office. Impeachment is for misconduct, that isn’t the case here. If they don’t see their own inabilities (and those with cognitive declines usually don’t, and too often stubbornly say they’re fine), then what? Outside of waiting until the next election, what can be done? I don’t think there’s a good answer.
