@FiXato Ugh…yeah email’s a pain because there’s always a backlog. With notices it’s easy to just wipe everything and start from zero, but with email there’s always the possibility that something important is in there that you shouldn’t just delete without checking first.

I find it utterly bizarre that someone can build an article around the idea that Mastodon is “apolitical.”

On Wandering.shop

@FiXato Yeah, but there’s a difference between “This rival thing is worthless trash and I’m going to prove it by shredding it” and “Look, I can afford to smash something expensive to bits!”

Hmm, maybe that’s it: showing that you’re well-enough off to waste something that most people wouldn’t dare to.

I just don’t get the YouTube genre of “let’s destroy this super expensive thing.”

@OldBrushNewPaper Yeah… Fortunately I don’t seem to have added anything new since I was around 25, but there were a few years where I had to add a lot of foods to the avoid list.

@OldBrushNewPaper Aha: The JAMA article does go into those numbers:

Of those who had a convincing allergy:
48% developed at least one allergy as an adult
26.9% developed allergies only as an adult.
53.8% developed allergies only before turning 18

@OldBrushNewPaper I think a key question is how many people *first* developed allergies as adults vs. *added* them.

I’ve been allergic to peanuts since I was maybe 2, and started developing allergies to tree nuts and legumes in my late teens/early 20s, but you can look at that as an expansion of the original allergy.

Whether there’s a different mechanism or trigger (other than meat allergy) for cases like that vs. cases like yours where it comes out of nowhere, would probably reveal a lot.

@sohkamyung Hah! I still have trouble with white balance on sunsets and late afternoons.

My first digital camera was an Olympus, though I don’t remember the exact model. I lost it somewhere in my old apartment, right before Comic Con. Never did find it again. None of the Olympus models on this sight look quite right for what I remember.

I’m searching for a battery replacement for a *specific model* of tablet. I don’t see how it benefits *anyone* to show me sponsored listings of batteries that fit other devices than the one I’m looking for.

Me to 8YO: “The deal was based on you not fighting getting ready for bed.”

8YO, who has brushed teeth & changed into pajamas without a fuss, but has started to rail against climbing into bed: “I’m *not* fighting getting *ready.* It’s getting *in*.”

Ugh. Seriously, who combines infinite scroll with a footer? On what planet does that make sense?

Sometimes I’m reminded how very weird it is that “blob” became a jargon term, and that some of the biggest companies in the world can sell something called “blob storage.”

@janellecshane I’m looking at that sideways trying to figure out just what Tumblr sees in that silicon wafer.

🤷‍♂️ To each their own, I suppose.

(Commenting on a post about LineageOS)

I’m still embedded in the Google ecosystem on other devices, but I’ve used LineageOS (and its predecessor CyanogenMod) to resurrect my old Galaxy S4 – twice! It’s now functioning quite well as a backup phone with a kid’s profile for camera, games, etc.

I’d like to use it on a 2015 vintage Galaxy Tab A, but there don’t seem to be official images, which means I may need to figure out how to build it on my own.
