I'm not typically a delivery guy, because today I just spent an extra $30 on grocery shopping because I have a serious eye problem.

Can't see myself going to the grocery store today or tomorrow.

@LoneLocust I would probably classify this as a "dad joke".

Took 3 months, but I have access to an elevenlabs account for work. WOOHOO!

As I watched this ad, my first thought was, “WTF?” But about halfway through, I realized it was being compressed INTO an iPad. “OK, I get it…”

But

The misstep to me is that the items are (a) obviously being destroyed and (b) leaking out and therefore escaping being part of the iPad. The iPad is therefore less than the sum of the parts.

Also, the rubber ball face doesn’t look happy being squished.

I reckon this ad will disappear very soon.

@LoneLocust I didn't like it, but that's mostly due the crushing of glass and other violent reactions. It was very unpleasant for me to watch.

I am now officially the owner of an old man’s bike seat.

@LoneLocust um.

Hm.

So, er, um. Hm.

A seat you say?

@LoneLocust @evoterra less pressure on the sit bone makes sense.

Something to keep in mind.

@LoneLocust thanks! Sadly, we would be in our 100s if we make 50 years!

Another bike-riding metric: nails/km

Very short 14km ride this morning for breakfast and back home.

I collected 4 nails (by hand, not by tire) along the route. That’s 1 nail per 3.5 km. That’s excessive even by #Phoenix standards.

They were all along 23rd Ave.

Today begins the day of deGoogling. It'll take me more than a day. But I'm on it.

@evoterra I started this year. No chrome, no Google, and send only spam to gmail.

I am stuck with maps until Apple puts better search in theirs.

Such a noble beast! Just hauled all 109kg of me through double digit winds, at top gear for 32kms and has a touch left.

That’ll do, donkey. That’ll do.

There used to be an account on Facebook/Twitter that took clickbait headlines and summaried the article into the simplest terms so you didn’t have to read the damned things. Anyone remember that? Is it on the Fediverse? We need this again. Is there a hash tag?

Here’s one I’ll spare you from. What were the Challenger crew’s “final panic-stricken words?”

“Uh oh.”

@LoneLocust I followed that account over there. I haven’t seen anything like that here and was just having the same thought last week.
