One of Biden's unsung successes has been ruining the name "Hunter" for everyone who otherwise would have named their kid that.

I don't need a back button on my browser, I need a feature that will remind me what link I clicked for this new tab without any prior history.

Ah, you're right. Didn't realize I wasn't logged in on that browser. The list is there once I logged in. Thank you both!

It is one of the greatest dreams of parenthood:
That your child should live such a long and happy life and grow in wonderful ways that one day, your child can look back on their adolescence and be more embarrassed by their actions/attire/persona upon reflection than you were in the moment.

I know my parents have realized that dream for me. And now, I have that same dream for my kids.

Microsoft is really hitting it out of the park with its AI-generated travel stories! If you visit Ottawa, it highly recommends the Ottawa Food Bank and provides a tip for tourists: “Consider going into it on an empty stomach.”

I didn't believe you, I thought surely this was parody. But no. It's still there, 5 days after it was published.

3. Ottawa Food Bank The organization has been collecting, purchasing, producing, and delivering food to needy people and families in the Ottawa area since 1984. We observe how hunger impacts men, women, and children on a daily basis, and how it may be a barrier to achievement. People who come to us have jobs and families to support, as well as expenses to pay. Life is already difficult enough. Consider going into it on an empty stomach.

I work in , so I won't be posting the video of my backyard. But wow, that was some hail storm just now.

Always grateful for the precipitation in the desert. Also grateful it's not usually this violent.

In a perfect world, every Tucson-based social media account would be a weather account during season.

Had to replace my reusable mug. Decided to get something custom instead of whatever free thing I come across next.

I love it. I think I'm going to carry it with me everywhere, even when it's empty.

Reusable pinkish Yeti mug with the phrase, "science is underrated"

If this LinkedIn go-getter can't avoid having the "play" button look like a giant rip in the seat of his pants, what chance do I have?

It's that time of year in when you get mad at your family members for using up all the cold water in the shower.
