here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update
I need to check it out again. I had a couple levels that were just consistently un-beatable unless I had VERY overpowered power-ups. Only have ever gotten a second goblin in … many, many hours of play.

Hoping they re-weighted things or updated it.

(and I missed a period in there, too. I need to eat dinner, I think.)
As it is, poop photos are banned on all the (appropriately moderated) Crohn’s/IBD forums, can’t imagine the tech support/learning models for this - someone has to soft through literal shitloads of images to train any automated models for these things.

(2/2)
I am on the ostomy subreddit (I have one myself) & someone posted asking about the usefulness of something like this for ostomates (but then was hostile when people pushed back on the obvious privacy issues). 1/2
I would have bought it without knowing, too! It’s so pretty!

Such a novel bit of engineering, I really dislike clips (ambivalent on roll stops - depends on the implementation), so the ability to choose nub or no-nub is super ingenious! Best of both worlds! And it looks cool!
This was my thought too, but so disgusted with the language I can’t really form a coherent comment on it.
It’s PINK! Very cool! I saw the roll stop on IG and it’s brilliant!
Wait! You’re here (blue sky)!

How did I miss that?! Anyway, hi!

Posting a picture covered in text without taking the time to include alt-text means that I probably will not reskeet it.

Please do better.
I was THREE when it came out & my parents took me & my older sister to it. I *still* can’t watch it. I try again every few years when I have a free week to not sleep.

I know it’s beautiful, but I was WAY too young.
*referring to Twitter (not “from”, brain dead today)
I blocked them all individually (so I wouldn’t be beholden to a list) and most of them didn’t even bother to change the bios from quoting Twitter.

So stupid.
Amazing! Contamination OCD can be soooo limiting!

Also, how awesome to get fibre straight from the source?! “I love your fibre garment!”

“Thanks, it’s Francis!” (Or whatever the alpaca’s name was)

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.
I think calligraphy & nib/holder focus has shifted to more specialised shows & more established parts of shows with classes/workshops. John Neal has a lot of resources (great supplies, too!) & lists classes & more:

Classes | Events | Guilds - John Neal Books

They’re also from lots of different brands, which is the part I find extra cool!
Oh, there are lots of good places in your area, then! I’ve got a dentist appt coming up soon, but will look up places/events coming up for you to check into after I’m back home!

How was the Empire show? I’ve only been to the SF Pen show & at some point am planning LA (same people as Empire?)
No problem! If you are ok with sharing your general geographic area we can help give suggestions for pen shops/shows to check out.
You can also send it off if you can bear to be without it for a bit.

The best is to look up pen shops nearby and/or pen or stationery shows in your area (I saw that Wonder Pens in Toronto is hosting Matthew’s Nibworks in advance of the Scriptus event.)

It really really depends on the pen, nib, ink, & how long you’re storing them.

I tend to swipe the feed on a finger or a damp tissue to get pens without good cap seals to start. If you use pens with a converter, you can give it a tiny twist up to re-fill the feed.
(Adding fountain pen inks and inkvents for 2025 for the feed)
My favourite inkvent is Enigma Stationery’s that features hand-made samples & is always such a delight with the scratch off labels & stands.

They have a few pre-orders left to get in on the fun. They’re also a small family-owned LGBTQIA+ friendly shop, in California.
