I ran a routine service today; nothing unusual about it. The elderly respondent was home. She was friendly and attentive and apparently in good health. My client was pleased I was able to get the job done in one attempt. Here is where things get interesting. He told me I was the second server he had hired for the job. The first one, who had been unsuccessful, worked for ABC Legal. This server claimed he had not been able to complete service because the respondent was in a long term care facility and not expected to recover. This was only two weeks ago. The respondent obviously had a miraculous recovery. 🤣 Or could it be the first server is a 🤥???

This post is in appreciation of those recipients whose life is an open book on social media. 🤣

I'm running the latest version of Brave - Brave 1.92.139 - and tab groups cannot be relied upon to sync across computers. Tabs randomly disappear from groups, reappear and then vanish again with no consistency across machines. I have deleted and recreated the same groups over a dozen times only to have the same issue. Thinking there might something amiss with Sync I deleted my sync chain and started a new one. The problem persists.

I would like to use the search I'm paying for in ANY browser and not just Brave. Granted, I use Brave 90 percent of the time but there's still that 10 percent of surf time where I'm using another browser...

A useful trick during a heat wave is to fill an empty 1 liter soda bottle with water, freeze it.... And then use it to pummel anyone irritating you.

When you spend more time "curating" your feed than you do actually reading your feed, something is horribly wrong. And curating is what you end up doing most of the time on Facebook.... Hiding ads, hiding posts you have no interest in, only to face the same onslaught of junk the next time you look.

My 2 story brick house was built in 1910. There is no central air or mini split. In summer I have always used window AC units to keep things cool, which keeps the electric bill high. This year I resolved to run the AC as little as possible, at least downstairs. Now that it's warming up outside, I keep most windows closed during the day, except for two on each floor. I put large fans in the ones on the cool side of the house to bring air in, and in the windows on the opposite side to suck air out. I closed off rooms seldom used. This gives me a great air flow and even when it's 78 downstairs it doesn't feel like it. Upstairs gets pretty warm during the day but I'm never up there unless going to bed. At night I set all fans to bring in the cool outside air. I'll probably end up running a unit in my bedroom at some point when summer is at its hottest but for now my setup seems to be working.

Facebook is showing me posts from people I have absolutely no connection to, talking about things I have absolutely no interest in. 🙄

I need a lightweight, private browser for blah blah blah blah blah blah blah platform that has the features of some other browser

Come on - this is standard with just about every email app. Then again, the "app" is just a wrapper around the webmail interface.... so they should at least fix it there, or give us a bona-fide email application.

I not only bought Origin, I opted in to Brave paid search. Bring on the trolls and flames.🤣
