My wife knows I like (love) Cheez-Its. It's my favorite mass-market cracker. I get excited whenever she brings a box home for me.

We had a box open in the kitchen, and then we had house guests, who ate most of the Cheez-Its. Now listen, I'm absolutely not the kind of person that is possessive, especially over food. But after they left, I couldn't deny the little tinge of sadness I felt, because I had no more Cheez-Its.

I'm fully aware at how ridiculous that sounds.

I didn't bring it up or anything. Why would I? Hours later, my wife comes into the room with something behind her back. She said "do you love me?" Yes, of course.

She presented A NEW GIANT BOX OF CHEEZ ITs!!

She said "I knew [house guest] was coming so I got extra.

I married the correct person.

I just discovered that my Caramel Baritone Ukulele's neck is cracked at the headstock. I'm so incredibly sad. I have no idea when it happened or how.

So I ordered some Titebond wood glue and some bungee cables. I have never done anything like this before.

Wish me luck.

oh. Any tips?

I don't know if you can see where the crack is in these pictures. Right at the neck/headstock line, kind of angled down.

I have absolutely no idea how to use this thing yet.

Hi.

I just got some leather picks, to play with on my bass and baritone ukulele. Just because I was curious. It's... Different. I like the warm sound it produces, I think. I haven't decided about how it feels yet.

What do you guys think of them?

Hello all you fantastic people and kitties.

I have several cats. It didn't start off that way, but life happened and so we accumulated more and more over time. There's currently 7 cats living with us.

I started with 2 litter boxes, then 3, then 4, etc.

The very last box I installed is in a very central location, smack dab in the middle of the house.

My problem is, most of the cats STRONGLY prefer that one box, and very rarely visit the others. I scoop daily, and the centrally located box is used so much, that it's disgusting and I have to top it off with half a bag of litter... every day. While at the same time, the other boxes barely get used, in comparison. One of the boxes is ignored to the point where I don't have to add litter for a week. So the centrally located box gets WAY over-used. It's not like the cats don't know others exist, because they were all there beforehand, and some of them use the others sometimes.

How would you guys suggest I balance things out? How do I encourage these poop machines to spread the love?

I have seen him live plenty of times, but I've never seen him do Albuquerque live. I found this from a few years ago. Particularly interesting is his apology around the 4 minute mark, and the highly extended list of stuff the donut shop doesn't have. Enjoy!

Hello all you wonderful people. Not the sucky people, just the wonderful ones.

I am curious what sorts of hobbies we're all into. More specifically, I was curious if you all, and how you all approach hobbies that are NOT blind-friendly. Such as, PC Gaming... only a relatively few games are blind accessible. The rest, we use our tools like magnifier and TTS / OCR to play them. I also like lock picking, because it's nearly all about tactile feedback and not about vision. There are some aspects of lockpicking that require sight, but again, we have technology that makes those parts easier to deal with.

I was thinking about getting into lapidary (rock tumbling). I imagine it being about feel more than rely on eyeballs, but I don't know.

What hobbies do you guys have, and how do you overcome the sight requirements of them?

I am bothered by the math in Trapped in the Drive Through.

They order a cheeseburger, a chicken sandwich, curly fries and a root beer.

...and it comes to $5.82. In 2006.

They were a dollar short, so they skipped the chicken sandwich.

So could a person get a chicken sandwich for a dollar back then?

Well, I finally got the Shingles Vaccine. I'm officially old.

Just a fair warning: Don't plan on doing anything else the day you get your shot. It knocked me out for a few hours.

Apparently it's more powerful than regular vaccinations. I dunno. It hit hard though.

Increasingly, I see posts where it's a wall of text without any sort of punctuation. It just appears as a long, run-on stream of consciousness. How are we supposed to follow along, if we can't parse out what you're trying to tell us?

If you want us to read and understand you, make it legible.

Please and thank you.

Hi all, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

What are we using to edit videos? I have heard that Capcut is very much NOT accessible to screen readers. Are there any other free or low cost video editors that are accessible?

I have OBS but I'm talking about the editing part where you can chop them up and add narration and all that fancy stuff.

Dark Mode should be the ONLY mode. Won't somebody please think of the eyeballs?

I keep reading stories of Gemini switching to the user's voice in the middle of a conversation, and it was just a curiosity.... Until it happened to me, today.

Right in the middle of a Gemini Live (android, while sharing camera) conversation, she switched from her normal voice to something approximating MY voice. It was very jarring, to be honest. Like oh you creep.

Does anyone know why this keeps happening to people? Surely Google is aware of this happening by now. I'm a nerd and would really appreciate an explanation.

I just did my very first video, guys! Plese forgive my noob-ness. Anyway, this is all of the preset drum patterns on my new Medeli MR 101S

Mods: Please forgive me if this is not allowed. I'm not affiliated with the company or anything, I just thought it was cool and wanted to try my hand at uploading YT videos.

I am a recovering alcoholic. I was drunk from around 1990 to 2016, with only brief boughts of sobriety in between. I had tried to quit drinking in 2003, that lasted maybe a year. I again tried to quit in 2013, and that lasted a few months, maybe.

It wasn't until I moved into my current house, with my wife and kids. I made a commitment to them then, and stuck to it. The accountability was the key, I'm sure. It helped a lot knowing that my sobriety wasn't just for me.

So... If you think you just can't do it.... you can. If I can, YOU can.
