Back in 2020 after I had leg surgery, I designed a 3D printable model for a cell phone holder that clips on to a crutch. I shared it on Thingiverse. Every now and again somebody likes it and I get a warm feeling knowing I just solved somebody's problem.

Alaska Airlines flights resume after being grounded over aircraft system issue An issue with the system that calculates weight and balance of Alaska Airlines planes, causing all of its flights to be halted on Wednesday morning, has been resolved and the U.S. Federal Aviation Adm...

If it's a safety related decision, requesting a ground stop means the company's airplanes will not be allowed to take off even if the pilot didn't get the message or whatever. It's not uncommon for an airline to request one. Recent example: www.reuters.com/business/aer...

I'm going to second Kagi. I've been using it for a year or so. Love it. Not a cult. Ignore rumors to the contrary.

That's just LinkedIn brain. I swear some LinkedIn people would sell their grandmother for a dollar and post about it.

Screenshot of the robot vacuum app. Human Elliott is at 65% battery and is charging. It's made a floorplan of the house, and I find it funny how you can see the outlines of the chairs

Everybody be proud of my very powerful robot vacuum son, Human Elliott, for mopping the floors at the new place.

"Attorneys general" too. It's "nouns adjective". "Google meet" doesn't follow that pattern

Sabrina is mildly annoyed that I named the robot vacuum cleaner "Human Elliott", but it makes me chuckle every time I see it.

A covered litter box. A fluffy kitten sits inside, facing out, her little front paws resting on the bottom edge of the entrance opening. She looks a little concerned.

This pic for a litter box looks like the kitten is working at a beachside snack shack and it's her first day and in her head, as she says, "Welcome to Herring House, how may I help you today?" she's silently thinking, "Please just want oyster crackers," because she ate all the herring.

In the case of monolingual English speakers, it probably boils down to "some European countries do it like that, and so it looks fancy. There's an exhaustive table of who does what here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotati...

I used to work at a Caribou Coffee that was open until 2am. I can't think of any 24hr (or even open-absurdly-late) coffee shops any more.
