iOS doesn't let you scan barcodes using a web browser - that's shit :(

finally getting around to adding all my CDs to a spreadsheet so I know what I have and don’t end up buying the same CD twice (happened to me a bit too often lately) - would be awesome if there was an app that integrated with discogs and I could scan a barcode and it would tell me “you have this already don’t buy it”

Does anyone have a spare Lenovo charger (one of the rectangular proprietary ones) that they can donate to Computers for a Cause? I've had a perfectly good laptop donated without a charger.

Oh you know all that stuff I sold and how I got $4000 for it all? guess how much it's gonna cost to get a root canal and a crown? About $3500 - fucks sake, put dental into medicare already. Even if I had top level private health insurance all I'd get back is $1000

@tizaks it’s a failure of our society that dental isn’t in Medicare

been using my canon R8 camera for a little while now taking bullshit photos just to learn how it works and I gotta say, it's the best camera I've ever used - first canon camera I've ever used too (except for a few hours with the EOS 6D a decade ago)

Yet another person is using my gmail address with a dot in the username thinking it is theirs - this time it's enrolling their kid in school. Normally I do nothing but should I do something here? I have the damn kids birth cert, full details of the family, etc.
