  1. Hey, what inexpensive laser printer would folks recommend? I'm done with inkjet.

    Don't need color. Don't really need the scanner either, usually scanning something with my phone is enough.

    If I get into more photo scanning (which I might eventually) I'll do a separate scanner, not a multifunction.

    I'm in the US, I'd prefer not to buy from Amazon (but not a dealbreaker).

  2. omfg. Remember how I posted a week or so ago that Plex on my Linux hackintosh was behaving weirdly and not playing videos I had ripped from DVDs?

    Accidentally just discovered those videos play JUST FINE on my macOS Mac connecting to that Plex server as a client!

    Woohoo!

  3. I'm thinking about bailing from music streaming services for a while (although I really like qobuz)...

    but what's the state of the world currently if I was going to rip CDs onto some system?

    Plex? I'm going to be using that for videos, so I guess I could start there?

    (and yes I'm being lazy by not doing some web searching first)

  4. @LikeItOrLumpIt sorry about his car! With luck #karma will eventually kick in for that numbskull who didn't fess up.

    Oatmeal should have worked, though! I love oatmeal. Have you tried #bobsRedMill? Much better than quaker oats. Actually has taste! I was surprised how much tastier it was.

  5. @zceline I switched from Evernote to Bear and have been very happy. Doesn't check all your boxes but maybe worth a look? #bearApp

    #markdown was the clincher for me (although tbh their editor is so good I don't drop into markdown as often as I expected to)

    And I do pay for the pro version for OCR and sync. But it's been completely worth it for me.

  6. @LikeItOrLumpIt Yeah, there's something about the way this park is situated (it's a human-made hill on top of an old garbage dump and landfill excavated from #boston's #bigDig ). Always windy.

  7. -whew- when I originally planned my Boston trip, I would have been flying back today. Glad I came back earlier.

    But I'd be happy if ALL the air traffic controllers called in sick and air travel shut down completely. That's what should actually happen. This farce is ridiculous.

  8. CW: USPol

    Well, I just signed up for GoTV phone banking for later today with Field Team 6. (I guess we'll be doing Georgia).

    No idea which org it made sense to work with, but I figured as long as I start somewhere!

    And do the down-ballot races need more help than presidential? I dunno... sort of feels like if we don't get the WH we're fucked.

  9. @sgtgary Being a caregiver to a partner is one of the hardest things. My partner has young-onset Parkinson's disease and her primary symptom is dementia. Yeah, the holidays can be particularly hard. 💔

  10. La Guerre (II)
    E. E. Cummings

    O sweet spontaneous
    earth how often have
    the
    doting

    fingers of
    prurient philosophers pinched
    and
    poked

    thee
    ,has the naughty thumb
    of science prodded
    thy

    beauty how
    often have religions taken
    thee upon their scraggy knees
    squeezing and

    buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
    gods
    (but
    true

    to the incomparable
    couch of death thy
    rhythmic
    lover

    thou answerest

    them only with

    spring)

  11. Wasn't familiar with Denis Johnson before I started the audiobook of his short stories Largesse of the Sea Maiden. Really enjoying it. And then I can move on to his more well-known work!

  12. I wonder if I need to be better about date-stamping my leftovers in the fridge. I've eaten a couple of things recently that *smelled* fine but seem to have really done a number on me, gut-wise. Dunno.

    (Yes, I have a marker by the fridge but I probably need to have some masking tape there too for labelling tupperware)

  13. @dancinyogi I'm on the fence. I have some spinach tortellini leftovers but I had them for dinner 2 nights ago and then yesterday my stomach was a *mess*, but I don't know whether to blame them (or the sauce I had with them).

    So I guess I'm trying to decide whether to conduct another lab experiment on myself.

    If not, I dunno... pita and hummus? TJ's fried rice? An apple and peanut butter?

    (now you've made me realize I am hungry, which makes sense, since it is 12:30 here)

  14. Anybody used U-Haul U-Boxes for a move? (I'm going cross-country this summer). A friend in the industry (who I trust) recommended this as the best way to go.

    I've done a fairly good estimate (I think!) on what I have, and I think 2 boxes is sufficient and still gives me enough headroom. But I'm wondering if I'm not accounting enough for packing materials etc. They do say on the web site you only pay for the ones you use, so maybe I should book 3 just to be safe and hopefully only use 2.

    I'm going to be hiring a crew to pack & load, I'm done with my move-it-all-myself years! (although I'll pre-pack as much as I can).

    Any comments, suggestions are more than welcome...

  15. Looking forward to reading both of these! A good haul in my library request pickup tonight.

    Chris Stamey - A Spy in the House of Loud
    Maynard Solomon - Beethoven

  16. In my dream last night (while opening up a very strange cardboard carton that my coffee was in) I overhead the young person next to me say something about Lotus Notes and I asked "wow, you're still running Lotus Notes?" and they said absolutely!

  17. And when the new year’s sunshine blazed awake
    They shouted, reveling.
    Through all the frosty ages you can hear them
    Echoing behind us—listen!
    All the long echoes, sing the same delight,
    This Shortest Day,
    As promise wakens in the sleeping land:
    They carol, feast, give thanks,
    And dearly love their friends,
    And hope for peace.
    And now so do we, here, now,
    This year and every year.

    Welcome, Yule!

  18. @bodhipaksa oh, I was going to look and see if Swiftkey was still available! That's what I used to use years ago (on Android). I had assumed Google bought them when they added swiping, but now I see... I guess Microsoft bought them?

    It is in the app store but ugh, it seems to now be loaded up with AI crap?

  19. Okay, two excellent performances of the Beethoven 9th and Brahms Shicksalslied this weekend, last night and this afternoon.

    I think I slightly preferred last night's, but both were very, very good.

    I don't feel like I need to sing the Beethoven for another decade or so (it's been that long since I last did it) but it was very fulfilling.

  20. Is it wrong that I've been having a lot of fun learning the bass part to the Monkees "The Door into Summer"?

    I've always loved this song (and the album too... well except for one or two cuts)

  21. Wow. There's nothing quite like seeing one's own life situation captured so precisely in words. I'm only a chapter or so in, but wow.

    (and a little encouraging, since I seem to be handling things in the recommended ways, for what it's worth🤞🏼💔)
