Hotel clerk: Here’s your keycard! Have a great stay. And I’d like to invite you to our complimentary breakfast buffet with an Omelas station.

@artificialnix You'll be happy. It gets fussy with damp or really tall grass (we did no-mow May) so you have to go a little slow but otherwise it zips along. (My favorite Ego product is the snowblower which chomps through batteries but shoots snow 35 feet in the air.)

@artificialnix Excellent. I have a ton of their stuff, not the leafblower, but I really love the lawnmower which is a suprisingly good leaf and small stick mulcher and very pleasant overall.

@vgr Diana’s death was a moment where the web was suddenly vital. washingtonpost.com/... still exists for example. Elizabeth’s death was vast but utterly without novelty or surprise. The forms are rigid now. This version is done evolving.

My son is 11 and got an Apple Watch, but can never close his rings because he put his height in as 5’9” and thus the watch doesn’t believe he ever stands up. We can’t figure out how to change it. Genuine tragedy.

@capndesign It’s middle-class audio which is absolutely perfect for me tbh. The kids have them in their rooms. I also have two 5s in the living room and an Arc in the basement. Utter surrender. Pretty compatible with streaming family plans I.e. people can have their own music.
