I like to go bottom up. If chocolate and coffee are off the menu, I’m not sure this life is worth continuing.

we’ve had luck using kaolin clay

Neat, thanks! I just learned about kaolin clay.

One for the mouse, One for the crow, One to rot, And one to grow.

I like the old rhyme, but do they actually let you have one? I like your sacrificial dill. We did that one year, but with fennel instead (just because we have more luck with that). Ultimately, it was Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) which worked the best.

I suppose it has more to do with the opportunity for a significant breach. The healthcare provider’s email system is a big target full of exploits. Fax is also HIPPAHIPAA compliant, email is not.

Need a simple end to end encrypted email solution, and for regular users to understand that solution isn’t Gmail for fax to die. The health and financial sectors are keeping fax alive, and it isn’t completely their fault.

An interesting application feature idea; filter profiles? Where filters, blocks, subscriptions, etc. are a set/group that can be toggled. You could make a separate account, I suppose. But there’s also some likely overhead to consider.

Reminds me of Matt Berry as Lazlo in What we do in the Shadows.

The last time I went to an oil change place, I wanted it done because I was leaving town the next day. I usually have my regular mechanic (who is excellent and honest; a rare breed) do it, or I do it myself.

The ten minute oil change took an hour and change. They tried to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit and gave me stink eye when I politely told them I just need a conventional oil change, thanks.

They overfilled it by about .75 of a quart. I had to take care of that myself before the aforementioned road trip. The car only holds about four quarts in total.

They charged twice as much as my mechanic who knows what he’s doing and gives a shit. Never again.

Is your stand-up the rare exception that lasts 10-15 minutes and actually accomplishes something?
