"if I wanna turn off one hob from the highest setting without turning off all hobs I have to plonk my finger down and wait for it to slowly cycle down from 9 to 0"
That's just bad design. Some guy who never cooked anything in his life did that.
Our stove top has touch controls. It's ridiculous. Ah yes, I will touch the glass top of my stove with my fingers while using it, thereby risking injury or at the very least having to put my finger on a greasy stove top. Because when people cook on a stove top, grease splatters out of hot pans all over. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? For the love of god just give me some fucking knobs
You know what knobs are also good for? Going instantly from any setting to any other setting. With this touch interface bullshit if I wanna turn off one hob from the highest setting without turning off all hobs I have to plonk my finger down and wait for it to slowly cycle down from 9 to 0, going through all full and half digits on the way
If this is what a "luxury cooking experience" feels like I don't fucking want it
@ScottSoCal Wait? There's an agenda? And nobody told me. π

Every time I create something new, I want to tell and show it to everyone. Apparently, each piece of jewelry has a piece of my soul, transmits energy.

Happy three year birthday to that time Trump retweeted a man screaming "white power" at the top of his lungs because that is a completely normal and patriotic thing for a United States President to do.
And in 2015, a movie was made about the riots that pushed aside all those troublesome drag queens and Black people, and put a white boy center stage as the hero, the way gawd intended.

The Stonewall Riots began on today's date, June 28, in 1969. That's why LGBTQ+ Pride Month is celebrated in June.
In 2011, PBS aired an excellent documentary about Stonewall, an uprising that helped expand and transform #LGBTQ activism.
Raw footage of 48 interviews conducted for the documentary are streamable through the website of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. https://americanarchive.org/special_collections/stonewall-uprising-interviews

Oh, you people, always pushing your Autistic Agenda.

It is not even 2pm yet and my day has been rather eventful:
1. Went grocery shopping.
2. Picked up a prescription from CVS.
3. Got another prescription moved.
4. Cut my hair.
5. Unclogged the bathroom sink. I had a notion that it was clogged but I had proof today after my haircut. (Yes, I cut my hair myself.)
6. Took a shower.
7. Cleaned the bathroom floor.
8. Profit?
Not sure what else is in store for me today.
Scifi Mastodon, please come to my aid!
I am trying to compile a list of vintage scifi stories that feature Andean Indians able to breath the rarefied atmosphere of the planet Mars.
This is of course impossible, but was a popular motif in scifi back around the 1950s. I seem to remember it appearing in an Arthur C. Clarke science fact book, then appearing in several stories by other authors. But I can't remember the titles or authors.
I think one was Crucifixus Etiam, by Walter Miller Jr.
Good morning, especially to small baby goats who joyfully fling themselves off hay bales and dare the other goats to follow
It did say all of them had voted for anti-trans bills.
But still brilliant compared to MTG statements. π
This statement in the article bothered me.
"Kansas Republican leaders have since said more than 100 state and legislative officials have received threatening letters filled with a suspicious powdery substance."
Republican leaders are making a statement, but its unclear if all the recipients are republican.
I would speculate that is the case since they chose a deceased transgender person for the return addressee.
I'm in Group 3 - people who didn't tweet, but started seeing all these articles about an extinct hairy elephant.
It occurred to me that there were two groups of people that came to Mastodon in November. The first thought Twitter was literally going to shut down and needed virtual methodone for their social media addiction. The second were users dissatisfied with what Twitter had become and jumped at an alternative. I believe it's the second group that have stuck around.
