Took daughter to paddle boats today. Guy at the stand tells me “you need to leave a deposit”. I’m confused so I’m like I’m sorry but we gotta switch to English.

“You need to leave something here so we know you’ll return the boat. Like your house keys”. These are giant plastic paddle boats. I’m not sure how I would steal it even if I wanted to.

“Look man I’m gonna be real with you. I’m gonna forget you have these keys in five minutes.” He’s like no way man, we got a system. We have your phone number so we’ll call you if you leave them. Also I’m going to hand them back to you when you dock.

Go on the water, have a great time, forgot keys. Nobody calls me. End up at train station in Odense 30 minutes before train leaves. Grabs daughter and taxis across town, savoring the opportunity to say “leave the meter running” as I run out to grab keys.

Absolutely hilarious reaction from the kid when he sees me. “Oh no it happened didn’t it” as he sighs and sits down. Made me laugh so hard, this 19 year old being like “damn he called it”.

I think something very annoying about #mastodon is there isn’t a universal rich text format. I have better control of the look of text in #iMessage

I guess it isn’t an easy thing to fix. Even declaring a bunch of html tags are ok would run into other limitations like post sizes being limit to 500 characters. It’s an endless onion of things that would need to get tweaked so I can make something <b>bold</b>?

Paid and submitted renewal stuff online for Global Entry late last night. Tonight I got an approval without need for interview. I can only imagine somewhere deep in a datacenter (aws us-east-1) an AI approved me:

The #Apple Mac Studio Ultra at 96GB is not available in a reasonable timeframe. If ordered today in June…will not get until October. The demand is still unreal. Very irritating.
The DGX Spark is tempting… this memory crunch is peak annoying.

Beautiful job the #reddit folks did with their toolbar on #iOS 27 beta. 😂

I’ve not seen this happen on any other app in the beta. (probably not their fault but I find it amusing)

seems #gotosocial 0.22.0-rc3 is working really well with relays. one thing I'm seeing is restarting my server and being down for 30-60 seconds will cause some relays to put you in a 'stale' state. a new finicky thing to deal with I guess.

Just had an upper endoscopy. Dr says it all looks fine. Just normal levels of inflammation. They took tissue samples (biopsies) to check for cancers etc. overall was pretty quick and painless procedure. Nothing to worry about if your doctor wants you to do.

@SolSoCoG Question about https://rel.re: I'd like to get dusty.ninja to subscribe for more traffic, is there some special account or something needed to do on my part? When I subscribe with the new 0.22.0-rc2 I get "not yet" approved status.

Installed 0.22.0-rc2 of #GotoSocial and added like 8 relays that are supposedly open. So far just one has accepted my connection. 😕 I wonder how many I should subscribe to so my server feels less isolated.
