  From the department of strange-shit-happening-to-my-tinnitus.... I was in a day-long virtual Zen meditation retreat yesterday. During walking meditation between sitting periods yesterday morning, I experienced roughly 15 minutes without tinnitus. (The breaks between sitting rounds last 15 minutes.) I don't know why it went away. My tinnitus does not go away just like that, on its own. The last time I experienced life without tinnitus (briefly) was when I consumed kava. I hypothesized tha...

  Yay! I fixed a speaker problem with Music Assistant (the music player I've installed on Home Assistant). Every time I asked to play music in a room other than the default player, it was crapping and playing on the default player. I realized that Music Assistant creates duplicate players, and those duplicates were NOT assigned a room. Oops... I've also discovered that Music Assistant now supports creating a playlist that contains a radio station. (I'm sure I checked before, and it...

  So, I checked a recipe, and it calls for "Granny Smith apples." Why do I have to buy my apples from the Granny Smith company? (Okay, I'll see myself out now...) #recipe #apples #GrannySmith #nonsense

  I find all the alternatives to Google Maps to be unsatisfactory. Most of them don't have traffic information. That's a big deal for me. And a good deal of them manage to shit the bed, irrespective of whether they have traffic information. My latest try was with OsmAnd last weekend. It worked fine going to where I was going, but it borked completely on the way back. I mostly knew my way around so I did not end up being lost, but this would have been disastrous if I did not know...

  Is there a way to ban a channel from an autogenerated playlist on YouTube? Soundeo keeps coming up. It's not AI (too old), but it might as well be. I know how to tell YT to not suggest a channel, but this is not quite the same, I think... #YouTube #ban

  TIL that one of my students has ADHD. I thought maybe it was the case... but I'm not in the business of diagnosing folks. I revealed that I'm autistic. #tutoring #ADHD #ActuallyAutistic

  I might as well make the announcement that my ex-boyfriend and I are on a break from one another. The decision was a joint one, and amicable.

  I'd like to say that my upcoming move (two weeks from now) is going to be a poor individual's move. But I can't. Oh, I ain't rich, but I blew this notion when I bought boxes. 😱 I tried to get boxes for free, but those that I could find were in jurisdictions where I don't want to go, too far, too messy, etc. The clock was ticking, and so I bought boxes so that I could start packing. Maybe we can call it a reasonable individual's move. After all,...

  I'm no car enthusiast. I have a car to get me from point A to point B. That's it. So it is not like I'm following the car market with great excitement. I barely knew what BYD is about before I saw the following video. Now, however, I can confidently say that Elon Musk is sucking his own dick while BYD is eating his lunch. #cars #Tesla #BYD #EVs https://youtu.be/V8sXTB3hm2Q

  The Indie Beat Television has an ad that says "be kind, please rewind." Of course, I always rewind the streams that I watch. Even better, I watch them in reverse once I'm done watching them forward. That way, I don't have to rewind. :meow_beret_coffee: #BeKindRewind #TheIndieBeatTelevision #nonsense

  I had the opportunity to talk with Xfinity (Comcast) support this morning. I was treated to an upsell. Sure, it costs nothing for the first year, but then what does it cost? It is an upsell pure and simple. She said "you can cancel any time." I replied "You can cancel it now." :derpface: I was also treated to technical nonsense. The problem (which I still cannot say has been fixed) has to do with bridging and port forwarding. She asked for the name of my Wi...

  Does anyone know of a translation tool less liable to obliterate the author's voice than DeepL? If I do an English to Spanish and then a Spanish to English translation, I start with: "What are your reasons for learning Spanish?" I end up with: "Why do you want to learn Spanish?" This is too much meddling with what I wrote. This is just an example I have ready. I can get much worse. I don't have money to spend on this. Suggesting paying se...

  I find that the mainstream media has been fucking quiet about No Kings 3. The biggest protest in US history, and they don't give it the space it deserves? That's some lame shit. 👎 This is for the mainstream media: 🖕 #USPol #USNews #NoKings #NoKings3 #news #MainstreamMedia
