@williwaw Hah - I traveled SEA<->DEN frequently when I was visiting Space Force in Colorado Springs back in my startup times. I got sooo sick of that little guitar riff, but I grew to love the DEN suitcase gargoyle.

The Hollywood Bowl at sunset, as seen from the cheap seats
I can’t believe it is nearly August and I just hit this particular summer milestone. It was kind of a perfect night, and we were there with friends. 100% Recommended

A beautiful pair of homo sapiens, a woman and man in their 50s. Cheek to cheek, smiling at the camera, in bright sunshine in this vacation selfie.

Lhasa Tibet, the Summer Palace, I think it was called. Nice article with lots of images in AP News today.
The Potala Palace is reflected off a polished tile on a square in Lhasa in western China’s Tibet Autonomous Region on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, as seen during a government organized visit for foreign journalists. #photography #NgHanGuan for AP News

Strange women lying in cities distributing bicycles is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical velodromic ceremony.

my (far less impressive) "mac stack"
alt text
a vertical triptych of old macintosh ports. the first two photos depict a stack of macbooks from 2006, 2011, 2012, and 2024, along with two ipods for flavor, photographed from the left and right sides to show their ports. the third photo is the ports on the back of a white imac g4
inspired by the original post here:

i too can (at least kinda) demonstrate the march of port progress in my still-not-discarded mac laptops, from ~2006 to now, plus a special guest appearance.
that "stack" in the first two photos, from bottom to top, not quite oldest to newest for the sake of stability, with a left and right side view:
2006 macbok pro
2011 macbook pro
2012 macbook pro
2024 macbook air (current machine)
2011 macbook air
last-gen ipod classic (160GB)
ipod shuffle
missing in action: my 2008 white polycarbonate macbook, which was stolen in 2011, and my ipad air 4, which was sitting on the couch
and, just for shits and giggles, photo 3 is the ports on the back of my somehow-still-existing 800mhz imac G4, which i keep meaning to plug in again just to have some vibes in the spare bedroom

Alas, I’ve gotten rid of most of my previous gear, or my stack would have gone back to a power computing clone and Quadra (plus the same white MacBook, my first laptop)
@wjcstp hah, honestly not having the hoard of previous gear is far far healthier IMO! that said, nice, to this day i've never seen one of those mac clones IRL

r/mac - Ports of MacBooks 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2024
weirdly, this makes me miss my 2008 polycarbonate mac (top of the stack). that was the one i actually lost (was stolen out of my car)
I managed to skip the generations with only USB-C ports, I am glad Apple took to their senses again.
I’m glad they re-added the MagSafe port, even with the unnecessary design changes over the years it’s a genuinely great idea.
This is fine.

A color photograph of two beachgoers on beach chairs under a sun umbrella (red and blue with the number 51 on it), surrounded by their strewn belongings. They are facing away from the camera and looking out over the lake. In the middle distance a child wearing a white t-shirt is on the shore. Across the lake, an enormous torrent of flame spews black smoke blotting out most of the sky.

Who else is surprised this isn't an image from a SpaceX launch?

I’ve been on that beach many times. Stark naked. The view wasn’t this spectacular, the eye watering and lung splitting smoke wasn’t present. It was just nice, vacation.

Bowl of ramen
Clear pig back broth, with a tare of mixed animal fats, tamari, fermented garlic, and mirin. Topped with nori, bonito, salmon furikake, togarashi, roasted hatch chili and New York steak.
Art, I'm really considering just showing up some random lunchtime 🤤
@jer you got to give me warning to make two, or be prepared to fight me for it.
@artwells Homemade ramen AND a brawl? Sir, don't threaten me with a good time.

Reliability and simplicity made Minsk motorcycles a cult brand in Vietnam, which was the most extensive export market. Minsk motorcycles were among the Soviet motorcycles that were distributed by SATRA, UK, under the Minsk Saturn 125 and Cossack brand names from 1973 to 1979

So. Many. Dongles.

Five mac laptops stacked on top of one another and three ipads stacked on top of those. There are so many ports of various kinds facing the viewer.
Some of these are merely inherited. And some I already got rid of. I should maybe get rid of a few more.

hah, your title! i ALMOST put a few generations of dongles on top of my pile for shits 'n' giggles (including, yes, a firewire 400-to-800 for incredible timeliness)
I have two full bags of spaghetti, and more in a camera bag. Some isn't even bagged.
I worked in an Apple centric public school district that turned over most devices every three years. I left just shy of iPads going USB-C.
We had so. many. dongles.
It really was crazy. Then you add in Smartboards and Apple TVs etc and it was almost a joke how much stuff(cackles in VGA), that we went through.

a two-wheeled recumbent bicycle with equal sized wheels. It has derailleur drive to the front wheel, and the steering joint is somewhere in the middle. The handlebars are under the seat, and the riding position is extremely laid back
based on the Flevo Racer from the 1990s, these front-drive mid-steer recumbents can be pretty fast. They are, unfortunately, reputedly hard to ride, and falling off at speed is a distinct possibility.
Classy, though

Mid-steer, right under the center of gravity too.
Took a closer look and yeah, the center pivot has a dampener, always a sign that the thing will want to go in directions you don't.

Somewhat related, I don't travel as much as I used to (for work) but the different in-train announcement sounds (happy chime & the Cash-like guitar riff) for the stations at the Denver airport along with the "Hooooooold on please!" *still* appear regularly & happily in my dreams.
