  To anyone who thinks it is a good idea to set off high explosives in a residential area, try aiming a few at your own home to find out why this is a bad idea. Then, when you are done rebuilding your home, consider apologizing to all your neighbors that you've been bothering all these years. #Fireworks #July4 #4thOfJuly #IndependenceDay

  #SecureBoot isn't secure if you need to disable it to boot your computer. Key expiration isn't an inherently bad idea, but there needs to be an easy way for every, including non-technical folks, to add updated keys to their computer's firmware (including computers no longer supported by the manufacturer), and to verify the keys come from a trustworthy source and will allow their computer to continue booting as normal.

  @klizana Use heat (e.g. hair dryer set to low) to remove the ink sac. Be careful - if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your pen! Dish soap, a toothbrush, and warm water can remove the remaining adhesive. Apply a layer of shellac where the old sac attached, use a pair of tweezers to help you attach the new inc sac, then give it a gentle twist. "Dust" the sac (unscented talc or corn starch) before inserting it into the barrel. Wait about a day for the adhesi...

  @klizana P.S. You can order the sac and shellac online, and you can usually find what size sac you need by searching your pen online. If you can't find what size you need, you can get close by measuring across the spot it attaches to - if I remember right, the sizes are in 64th of an inch (though finding a ruler that can measure that precisely can be difficult).

  I have a request for #Google for their #Youtube app for the #NintendoSwitch : Instead of making the the UI worse, perhaps they could, at long last, focus on fixing bugs? I know software development is hard, but bug fixing is part of that, and has been since long before 2018...

  The Lamy Safari needs no review since seemingly everyone has one. I dislike the Safari's design and think of it as overrated, but this one looks kinda cool. (I may not like them, Minister, but I can't deny: this Safari's got style!) As for the ink, it is Diamine Forever Passion Flower and is a near-perfect match for the pen. It is the first ink outside the Noodler's line that I plan to keep in regular rotation. #FountainPen #FountainPens #HarryPotter #FountainPenI...

  When you create an account on #Uber , you might get banned due to "suspicious activity" that violates their terms of service. Shocking, I know. But apparently it is suspicious to create an account, add a debit card you own that has the same name as the one you put on your account, and add a cell phone number that they verify is yours by making you enter a six-digit code they "text" or call you.

  A request for my fellow #PotterHeads : Please stop making a big deal out of Papaa Essiedu being cast as Snape in a book-faithful adaptation. Snape is never explicity defined as white. I can certainly understand the concern for certain aspects of the story potentially coming off as racist, and there are some real discussions to be had there, but please stop pretending that Snape's skin color was ever explicitly defined in the books. #HarryPotter #HarryPotterHBO
