I'm an Aqua Velva man but years ago (before some of you were born) there was this cooling aftershave gel that was fantastic. Forget who made it. Maybe Old Spice? It must have had alcohol and maybe aloe or something. Sadly discontinued. If I like it, they always discontinue it. 😐

DXL has treated me ok over the years.

Haha! I hadn't thought about that. Maybe his listenership uses RSS. I miss RSS podcasts.

I listen to the Tin Dog Podcast sometimes when I'm making breakfast. Who stuff including Big Finish, Blake's 7, and other sci-fi.

Well, there are at least three of us. Last time I said brown sauce in a thread like this I got downvoted. 😆

FWIW, I checked the pi-hole and there doesn't appear to be any contemporaneous blocks for my phone when attempting to share location. (I wouldn't think that would be necessary for location sharing but I've been surprised before.)

I also checked to see if Android shows that the location was accessed by the FF app and it does. It's just not making it to the page for whatever reason.

I'll report back if I discover anything more.

Something must be broken right now. I noticed this problem recently on the AQI site (link below). Popup does nothing. Going through the lock icon menu can change it from block to allow, but the site still doesn't get the location.

Do you have a pi-hole? After I set mine up, suddenly YouTube stopped remembering my history until I allowed the right domain. Maybe this is the same sort of problem? I'll try to check that today.

Let me know if you figure it out. I'm twice your age and I still don't know.

I mainly started using exFAT on flash drives (even on new ones) since it is interoperable between Windows, Linux, and Intel Mac. To be clear, I never don't unmount the drive properly under normal conditions, but I remember reading around the time it was introduced that the Windows implementation guaranteed the buffers were flushed after every write (meaning no unwritten data remains when the activity indicator on the drive stops blinking) but now I can't find any evidence that was ever the case. Wouldn't be the first time I got bad info from the Internet. 🤷‍♂️

I prefer a real Brooklyn slice but it can't be had where I live. IMO Donatos is a fair substitute. They're in like 30 states.

The big national chains are garbage.

Random thoughts, no particular order

I think btrfs was the default the last time I installed Bazzite, but I don't really know anything about it so I switched it to ext4. I understand the snapshot ability is nice with rolling release distros, though.

It'd been ages since I'd used FAT32 for anything until I made a Debian live USB when I was setting up my pi-hole on an old Core2Duo recently. It would only boot on FAT32 for reasons I probably once knew. 😆

NTFS was an improvement over the FATs what with the journaling, security, file streams, etc. I use it wherever I still use Windows (work).

Most of my general purpose USB flash drives use exFAT. I like not having to worry about eject/unmount.

Thank you. I was not aware. It does not make me feel better. Depressing stuff.

My state has tried multiple times to make it legal to run over protestors. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/04/us/tennessee-anti-protest-bill-felony-trnd/index.html

TFW you spend the R&D money on hitmen

Snitches get stitches.

Ranch is just unreasonably good. I just had some ranch ::: spoiler food reference dressing with chicken nuggies and crystal hot sauce ::: for dinner and it was so good.

There was a lot of coverage of it back at the beginning of July. Wish I'd paid more attention then haha.

Google's official position is "contact us" which I did today, but they wouldn't tell me whether it would cost me or not without sending them a video of the problem, which rubbed me the wrong way. I know my phone is out of warranty now but the manufacturer broke this with their own update. Probably no more Google hardware for me. 😐

My man! That hadn't occurred to me. Phone appears to be off. Thank you!

All I've gotten so far are sore fingers. 😆

Wouldn't USB debugging have to be enabled on the device for that to work?
