Because Normal Is Overrated
Article: Grandson of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup inventor accuses Hershey of “quietly replacing” ingredients
I’ve been telling my wife for awhile now that I swear Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups don’t taste as good as they once did. This confirms it. Makes me sad too because it is my favorite candy, but I haven’t been enjoying it as much as I used to.
The world is a crazy place. Make sure to take time for yourself.
This is good news. I love seeing more companies accept Linux as the next major step for PC gaming.
Stop believing the Linux rumors: 5 myths that are keeping you stuck on Windows
I think the only “myth” in the group of five this article discusses that I’ve actually heard people say in the past is there isn’t a good amount of software for Linux. The rest are things I’ve never heard people say, and I’m referring to people that don’t use Linux.
Kristi Noem says people should be prepared to prove US citizenship
It would be nice if those in positions of power in the United States of America actually understood the constitution that I’m pretty sure they have to swear they will uphold when they take a Federal position.
My wife went to bed, and I’m still working on my computer. I find something amusing and send it to her phone figuring she would see it in the morning since I can hear her softly snoring. After about 30 minutes, I hear the snoring stop, I hear her say “that’s funny,” then I receive a notification that she liked the message. Almost immediately after, I hear her soft snores again coming from the bedroom. Guess she had the sudden urge to check her phone while sleeping. 🤣
Earlier this year, I started purchasing physical copies of movies again. I was big on streaming when it started becoming a thing, and I own quite a few digital movies, but I started wondering what would happen should I lose access to my digital movie collection. One of the providers I used for many years was Vudu. They were purchased by Walmart about 8 years ago and then Walmart sold Vudu off to Fandango a few years ago. I think it was earlier this year or late last year when I had to go through the process of merging my Vudu and Fandango accounts together.
I think that was the moment when I realized that I’ve been lucky so far, but I really don’t have a guarantee that my digital movie collection will be there 10 years from now. It made me rethink the idea of digital ownership. That was when I decided it was time to go back to buying something physical. The best part is, every movie I have purchased so far has a digital code that I can also use allowing me to enjoy having an actual copy and still being able to enjoy the convenience of streaming.
I realize that in 10 years time, the format I am buying my movies in may change. I think that was one of the reasons I started liking digital copies because I didn’t have to worry about some physical media format being killed off. However, I’m not as worried as I used to be. I have DVDs that I purchased 20 years ago that I can still watch. I guess it is just nice to know that I can actually hold what I purchased.
I just discovered the city I live in offers free WiFi at all the city parks. I never would have thought to look for a WiFi connection at a park, but I noticed it today when my phone indicated there was a good WiFi connection. This fascinates me. I am now curious how common this is.
