Under the Sea / Flyers Drive

If I must listen to Under the Sea every night during bath time, let it be the @corywong.bsky.social the funky version!

I quite love that my 50 year old vinyl Doobie Brothers album must necessarily be knocked out of a skip loop to keep going.

Just needs a little pat. You can do it!

I do still hate stealing the music from our speaker when I leave the house and use car or headphone audio.

Yeah it’s great! We have a handful of aging Sonos speakers and an AV receiver that we use with it. It’s like comically better than the Sonos or HEOS apps.

It looks like you can airplay to multiple speakers now so I’d probably just do that if i had newer gear.

Spotify connect is weirdly the killer feature for me. Need to see how tidal does this. I like that it doesn’t have podcasts and books (that I see anyway)

Now I’m trying Tidal. Are you my dougfluencer?

Verge subscribers, here’s how to set up ad-free podcasts Ad-free Decoder, Version History, and The Vergecast! Here’s how to get them.

SO many people have asked @reckless.bsky.social and me when we were going to launch ad-free podcasts. The answer is today! Right now! We just launched them! Ad-free podcasts are here! www.theverge.com/bulletin/795...

I can’t wait for the new Pokémon game where Grimer gets a new AI slop evolution path.

Holidate - Wikipedia

I was thinking of calling this holidates but i have been informed this is a Netflix hallmark movie.

IDK. Seems like a point in its favor.

There does not seem to be a home assistant package for holiday seasons, like for showing spooky lights during the weeks before halloween.

I wonder if I should make this but what if I get issues like “Christmas ends on new years day! Not new years eve!”

Maybe someone has already figured this out.

Claude has become a lot more cursey lately! It said that it fucked up the other day when I kept telling it not to change spacing in some code.

Trying to set up Windows for a low tech family member and just disgraceful how many trials you have to skip on top of this account business. So many things they assume you have to buy because it’s suggested.

“Are you sure this is Janet Jackson? Sounds like Tears for Fears”

“Oh, set the RPMs to 45”

Who’s house has this glowing rock. Let’s go down the list!

But we don’t have a break room because we’re full remote. This is where the dream turns into a nightmare.

Polish Jazz record with bubblegum pink and electric teal disks.

Picked up this Polish jazz album in a market stall in Krakow. Dang, what a find!

Self driving cars are such a cool technology, but I just was driven past by a certain electric car in a crosswalk intersection where the driver was watching a TikTok leaned back pretty far.

Maybe it was totally fine. I’m just not ready for this at all.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

On paper, I love that iOS auto complete and voice to text is more private. But changing my sentences last minute to a totally nonsensical result makes me stop caring for a second.

I miss the days when I could slap away swipes on Google Keyboard, and it would just figure everything out perfectly.

Vinyl copies of The Yes Album, Rubber Soul, The Jungle Book, Aja, Fly Like an Eagle, and Environments

Absolute jackpot vinyl run with @mbhunzaker.bsky.social today.

Every time it snows I think of this photo of Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh.

I can't bring myself to uninstall Disco Elysium but if I accidentally open it one more time instead of Discord...

All of the DND alignments can be witnessed at a four-way stop with right of way.

Grocery store aisle sign that includes “natural chips”

I gotta say I’m really only here for the denatured chips.

Breaking: Our request for a temporary restraining order for the federal funding freeze was just granted.

The freeze is now paused.

Our case continues, and the restraining order is in effect until further notice.

It’s pretty cool that books don’t run out of batteries.

For the sake of brunch, can we vaccinate our chickens?

Once I finish reading the stormlight archive series, what will I do for a good arm workout?

Is that a brain or thousands of babies curled up?
