@mergesort literally the only thing I use the Reminders app for is “when I get to X remind me Y”. Killer for e.g. restaurant recs in places I don’t often go.

@nwchapman I try hard not to assume everyone has the same knowledge base and priors that I do, but I really feel like what you’re saying should be clear to anyone with a casual awareness of city politics

Yesterday I installed a set of cabinets and a microwave above the stove, including putting a new GFCI outlet in the wall, also protecting the existing outlet below it. It was hard and painful but I feel really good about being able to do this kind of work in my home. (No one tell the inspector […]

Fresh spaghetti Sunday dinner! Dry farmed tomatoes, local basil, heirloom garlic(??!), a good way to usher out the weekend.
#vegan

A plate covered with seven little nests of fresh spaghetti.

The spaghetti plated. It’s sauced with a huge bunch of chopped basil, some fresh tomatoes, and a good amount of hot olive oil wilting the previous items.

Translate app is having a stroke

Screenshot of Apple’s translate app. It’s translated « quelque chose tapi » as “something sturking”, surprising since “sturking” isn’t a word.
