As someone with 20 years horseback riding in the wilderness, I’ve come to enjoy a joint while out there. While I don’t recommend it by any means,I think it’s very much entirely possible to be buzzed on cannabis and still be safe. 1 joint is like 1 beer with a meal for me.
I think it’s crucial…
I unironically love cooking with my steel chopsticks.
reporting in from Pima County, AZ:
We’re generally just shy here in Pima County of a 60/40 democratic lean. On the ground it feels like more and more people from Cali are moving in and voting blue all the way down ballot. Biden himself isn’t very popular, but the Democratic policies are however very popular. I’m in my 30s, and nearly 60% of the people I know are voting blue, with people in Phoenix seemingly trending more blue since 2020. A down ballot abortion issue (it looks like it’ll make the ballot in November) will absolutely cause a surge that will push the election over the edge as I know how pro-abortion most people are here. The Democratic Party here is running canvassing and getting people involved; I feel cautiously optimistic about us going blue again this cycle.

Didn’t drive at all until I was 25; got a Toyota Prius C, brand new in 2016 as my first car after working a few years and saving money. Best thing about it is that I’m still driving it; I haven’t done anything but routine maintenance on it and get ~53MPG.
My personal theory is that if he publicly appeals to right wing ideology more people overall will buy his cars lol. The Twitter shit is just piece of that.

So this SOC benchmarks on par with AMD’s best integrated GPU? On par with the M3, but not the M3 Pro/Max. If I’m going to switch to Windows, I’m not going to buy a less powerful PC that’s less capable than an AMD unit with a discreet GPU lmao. Call me when these are on par with 4080/4090 lol.
just be prepared that the “default” YouTube recommendations are all clickbait + Mr. Beast + whatever fad is going around. The default recommendations are really really bad.
there’s really no such thing
In all reality, you can put Mac applications anywhere. There’s even a dedicated applications folder in your home folder. It’s just a really old legacy thing.
Literally the reason why I use apple products is because their UI is the only one which is consistent, looks the best, and performs the best. MacOS/iOS pings the GPU to draw animations with a higher priority than other tasks which makes it a smoother experience overall.
I strongly believe that the flat and dull UI design of windows and Android looks cheap, tacky, and out of place on the highest end devices. Glassy UI design is the pinnacle of UI design because it looks the best, gives a sense of layering that’s lost with an opaque UI, and puts the powerful GPUs in modern devices to work which ties into a sense of value for money when you buy the higher end devices.
If Apple rebranded themselves to be a flat UI like Windows did from 7 to 8, I’d literally sell my apple ecosystem on the spot. I however don’t see that happening because my bet is that they converge with VisionOS in which glassy design is a critical UI design choice that enables VR and AR to be as seamless as it can be.
I have kept an eye on the android ecosystem and think I’ll switch over eventually if Samsung adopts a glassy UI that permeates ALL of the UI and not just the notification shade/homescreen icon drawer/edge panels. However though, since Samsung doesn’t have Linux software, you have to use Windows’s myphone app alongside Dex applications on windows to get the continuity features I get in the apple ecosystem. As a sidebar, the removal of Samsung notes as a universal windows app (Only Samsung laptops can officially run Samsung notes) left a particularly bad taste in my mouth for android because I feel like that sort of thing could happen with anything I rely on within the ecosystem.
As a note about the windows ecosystem: it’s incredibly slow, android apps are being removed from Windows in 2025 (which would make me rely on Dex for any continuity at all). Windows applications are generally coded poorly, are not uniform because there’s a lack of CoreUI frameworks to build an application off of, and it just looks awful with the mix of XP settings icons and Windows 11 icons all smudged together for legacy reasons. Windows 12 needs to completely overhaul its UI and android continuity for me to even consider using it. As it stands now, I would switch to Linux because I could have a glassy desktop theme, but the continuity features just aren’t there on Linux with android.
Affinity Photo is also really really good. I’d imagine it’s high profile and will have good support in wine.
Disturbed’s cover of the sound of silence is profoundly better than the original; I highly suggest you check it out

I switched to Bitwarden after 1Password moved to electron and booted selfhosters off the app and into their sub model. Jesus Christ is the current Bitwarden UI bad. It’s easily the worst looking application on my phone that isn’t a banking app; I’ve had zero issues with the functionality though.
Hey hey hey, you can get to the popup abortion clinic in Blythe from downtown in 2h18 👍🏽
