Furious, I storm into the men's bathroom where an asshole wrote "call for a good time" & my number. What an utter bastard I mutter, as I take out my pen to scribble out "call" and replace it with "text"

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.
Me (right) and my BFF/it's-complicated since high school, yesterday, Peaks Island, ME.
Wuv. Twu wuv.
@MackReed the twuest.
Happiest of birthdays!
Or… anniversaries?
@BennyTheIcepick thanks! this summer marks 41 years of our relationship. We were 15.
Aww!

Lhasa Tibet, the Summer Palace, I think it was called. Nice article with lots of images in AP News today.

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.

A painting showing a machine-gun-and-machete wielding orc in heavy armor on a chunky and somewhat abstracted jagged set of rocks. Behind it are pants in red, yellow, and green, twisted metal, and some sort of twisted landscape.

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
FireWire!
@patd i had legit forgotten that there were TWO on the back of that imac!
(also, hah, i had a firewire audio interface that i just KEPT trying to hold onto, hence me hoarding multiple machines that still had firewire 800 ports for way too long)

I had that bottom one. First MacBook, but still in the enclosure of a PowerBook. So many ports, and it had a removable battery, a great innovation that Steve didn’t like. (I kept it alive until 2020, with some new batteries —I always had two—and a SDD replacing the superdrive.)

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.
I miss my 2012, it was still upgradeable :(
My 2019 is still barely holding on but the fan screams all the time, and the usb only is a pain.
I just bought an M3 back from IT at my last job and getting set it up this week!

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.

photograph of a handmade sketchbook bound with purple cord and a moose pattern (gold and red) on the front and back covers.
been doing some bookbinding lately. i made this sketchbook for a friend's upcoming birthday, it has partial mixed media paper and partial watercolour paper in it. i'd really like to make more! coptic stitch books are nice to make because the pages lie flat.
this is the tutorial that i followed:

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

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.

The newest computer in my house is from 2015. A MacBook with the nice keyboard, but the screen is broken so it’s my media station.
My ‘work’ computer is a Mac mini from 2012. I use it maybe an hour a week, but it’s useful to run a good spam filter, so my iPad gets less spam.
A few nights ago I almost bought a M5 MacBook Air, but I don’t need it, so I removed it. I love being a semi-Luddite.

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.
Something something Sweet Jumps
I'll pass
Maybe a comfy seat.
Recumbents can be very fast as long as you’re on pretty flat roads. Add in almost any climb and they suuuuuck. My dad had one that I borrowed a couple of times while visiting, I did 40 miles on it once which was probably his lifetime total. Climbing a hill is just a series of single leg leg presses.
"...it's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good. I'd give it to you if I could but I borrowed it."

Lovely design but dangerous.
@ardgedee curiously, a whole bunch of Dutch roadsters also have steering damper, and you can ride those no hands (with or without damper) forever.
But the steering geometry on that thing looks like nope

#RIP Glen
He passed away this morning from a motorcycle accident. I have never been so moved by someone's music the way Glen's music has moved me.
We have tickets to see a local production of Once in Saturday. I know I'm going to be an absolute mess.
Thank you Glen for making this world a little brighter.

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.
