Philadelphia will run free SEPTA trains home after all six World Cup games via an Airbnb partnership, bucking $150 ticket hikes in New Jersey. Unlike other host cities raising prices, Philadelphia will provide free train service home after every World Cup game starting June 14...
Oof, bit of a sinus headache, might nap to sleep it off.
Today started well enough, was planning on cleaning the gutters and checking the roof for damage considering the storms we've had this year, but roomy must have the big ladder at his place, I'll have to ask him to bring it home if'n the weather is good this weekend. Did get the lawn mown, hour or so's work to do front and back with trimming, mower isn't sounding good, so I suppose I need to finally fix the one I got for free or buy a new one, but not a Hart. Nothing wrong with Hart, its just that that's a failed WalMart experience and the brand will be going away from the looks of things.
Not sure what I'm going to do beyond that #today , got groceries and finances done yesterday, I do need to do some forgotten proofreading, but beyond that and getting ready for the flea market, not much on the docket. My to do list is fairly short at the moment, test out one of Vik's computers, a little tiny computer he set Linux up on, I doubt he encrypted it, so I'll be able to easily get into his files there. I really need some manner of small portable monitor for the other desk, that way I can use it for projects, testing and repairs, just hang a small monitor on the wall. Need to move the decorations over to this room too, but none of that has a deadline. Oh, and re-index the book collection to make it easier to sell the remaining books.
We might pick up a trackloader/mini-skidsteer, I think I might've posted about this before, but a Chinese made one runs around $5K, rental is like $300/day, $1200/wk for a better quality one, but still, buy one, use it as needed to do landscaping work here, then sell it for $2-$3K when I'm done, cheaper than renting.
Going to be a weak week when it comes to money, something that I could offset by working today, but meh, not feeling it, and its not like I can't afford it. Friday will be flea market prep day, Sat will be flea market dayโ if'n you're in the St Louis area, its in the Sunset Hills community center on Lindbergh, rain or shine, maybe I'll make money this time, it is supposed to rain last I checked after all, last month's was on the same day as like three other flea markets and nice out.
While I don't really recommend this product, I bought one from Ollie's for $5 like a year ago, I will say I'm rather gobsmacked at the shear number of them they have to get rid of, six months or so ago, Meh and ThatDailyDeal both had them offered at the same time, and Ollie's, where I got mine, is a discount retailer specializing in overstock and liquidations.
Late last month we noted how the Trump FCC under Brendan Carr announced a โnew banโ on all routers made overseas (which means pretty much all of them). At the time we also noted how thiโฆ
Amazon used to be my go to, 99ยข songs, and easy to sample everything on an album so I can decide between the song or two I've heard and the whole album. Problem is their new interface sucks, I can't easily do anything more than buy the song I've heard, listening to anything else isn't easy. iTunes isn't really an option as that's pretty much exclusive to the Apple ecosystem which I'm not part of.
Donald Trump has sparked fresh health fears as he shared a video of Frank Sinatra performing his hit song, My Way.
The president, 79, took to Truth Social on Saturday night, April 18, to share the clip of the musician performing the entirety of the song, beginning with the lyrics, "And now, the end is here / And so I face the final curtain."
Social media users went into overdrive as Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social of Frank Sinatra performing My Way, with some suggesting the post has a cryptic meaning
Do you enjoy reading books? There's a social reading platform on the Fediverse called BookWyrm, which is a free open alternative to Amazon Goodreads. Lots more info at:
Yes, it is. The lead developer confirmed they're still working on it and the BookWyrm Github page shows a steady stream of updates with the most recent being 5 days ago.
Does it support searching well enough? My sweetheart wanted to move off Goodreads so I looked into BookWyrm for her. She likes to be able to search/tag/sort her notes/books/TBR/etc to find things, but search has been an exceptionally weak point for ActivityPub-based so I hesitated to have her go that route and she ended up on LibraryThing instead. ๐
Not yet, but the website supports being installed as a web app which makes it behave like an app on your phone. More about how to do this at fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-aโฆ
I love @bookwyrm #BookWyrm It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and the community there is full of lovely people who are for the most part genuinely interested in sharing their love of #books and helping each other find something worthwhile to read.
The occasional communal gushing around especially excellent #books is also quite nice.
And it's one of the only social reading spaces where I feel like I can actually trust the #reviews, whether positive, negative, or neutral. For that matter, it's one of the few places online outside of dedicated book review blogs which actually contains a high proportion of thoughtful reviews.
Outrageous! The Department of Justice is delaying the effective date of the Title II web accessibility regulations. Blind and disabled Americans have waited long enough for equal access to government websites and apps. Civil rights delayed are civil rights denied. President Riccobono shares more of our concerns. We will be publishing a statement next week: youtube.com/shorts/cTuHxq49bJI
