"...ink-related hostage situation.. .", heh. Embarass Google with this one simple trick! (www.theverge.com)

Who uses google any more? The reference to “ink-related hostage situation” in this article from The Verge made me snort/chuckle, but really, google is itself a hostage situation. It’s all stick and no carrot, because you’re the hostage who has to give more and more personal data on a futile attempt to get some kind of...

If you know, then you know. 'Tis the season to mock Oklahoma and I'm just the former resident to do it. (lemmy.world)

I don’t even live in Oklahoma any more and only lived in Norman very briefly in the oughts. Therefore, I am the point man on this. Any one who misses making fun of Oklahoma and maybe even misses the state just a little bit, this one’s for you. You are not alone. Remember to call your grandma or grandma-adjacent today. It’s...

Building Families in Space- Radiation Exposure, Space Wars and You

Fascinating and based article from Scientific American on why it will be difficult to conceive babies in space and carry a pregnancy successfully. I didn’t know that International Space Station astronauts lose that much bone density from microgravity during their stay. For an adult in his or her thirties or forties, that might...

REPOST MEME. When I used auto complete at login to fill in my email addy, I broke Jerboa and had to uninstall. Downloading Connect instead. I use the Play Store, because I need gratification without actually finding a solution. I reported this to the admins. LEMMY IN ARRRGH I’VE GOT FOMO YOU OWE ME DOPAMINERGIC BLISS

Bulk Food Shopping. I don't mean C#stco (ezprepping.com)

There’s much more to bulk shopping for staples than the big box stores. EZ Prepping has a searchable directory of stores and markets, so you can shop like a stone cold Mennonite saver. Things I’ve noticed about shopping at Amish or Mennonite stores: 1.) Many are not listed online, you have to find them in the local paper or...

My grandmother died yesterday morning. She was 95, allegedly. She could be demanding, sarcastic and mean, but I never heard it or saw it.

She hadn't let water touch her perm in decades, except at the salon. She loved her possibly immortal cat and watching real estate flipping shows. She wore a ton of makeup, only "Merle Norman" brand. I know you're busy, but call your grandma today. (Calling someone else's grandma is ok, too.)

It's time to get over our AMZN addiction- it's not serving our families and communities. (www.wired.com)

Eye-opening article from Wired’s Cory Doctorow on how Amazon pushed competitors out of the market and forced sellers to sell with them, all WITHOUT violating anti-trust laws. Amazon is a perfect example of subtle “enshittification”....
