Definitely prefer the way Podcast Addict includes the text when you share an episode. Helpful for when the web preview stuff doesn't download and people aren't left looking at a note that contains nothing but a Fountain URL.

Maybe one day we'll be able to get AI to pre-scan a podcast episode to determine whether it's even worth trying to listen to the audio-only version. "Check this out", "As you can see here", "Let me put this up on my screen" 🤬

When is Trump gonna fix this crap anyway? It takes $600 worth of those Berkefield ceramic elements to filter the same amount of water as one pair of Black Berkeys. image

No EV marketing to date has been as persuasive as having to stop twice in a 100-mile trip on one of the hottest days of the year to top-up the fluid in the hoopty carrying a disabled elderly person. Thank God for Lucas Oil transmission syrup.

Is it up to the Android device OEM to determine the internal storage location where downloaded podcast episodes get stored? I could almost swear that podcast apps on Android used to let the user choose a custom downloads folder.

Sunday morning PSA: DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A LOWE'S MY REWARDS ACCOUNT TO GET A DISCOUNT ON YOUR PURCHASE. IT'S NOT WORTH THE SCARCE TIME YOU'LL HAVE TO SACRIFICE TO SET UP ACCOUNTS, PAYMENT METHODS, ETC. I LITERALLY COULD HAVE MADE MORE MONEY WORKING OT AT MY JOB IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT ON THIS CRAP, AND WOULDN'T HAVE TWO NEW ONLINE ACCOUNTS TO WORRY ABOUT.

One thing that annoys me about Americans is that we can't seem to understand the functional purpose of a sandwich. I don't know if we started this trend but it sounds like the kind of thing we'd contribute to humanity. A sandwich is supposed to be an efficient mechanism for delivering a meat entree to a mouth without the need for silverware or a hazmat suit. At some point, we decided it was perfectly acceptable to pour a ladel of beef stew onto a bun, slap another bun atop it, wrap the whole thing in foil-backed paper, then act like the customer is the unreasonable one for requesting a plate and silverware.

For a brief moment, forgot I was running the Opportunity Cost extension and thought the regional news outlet got orange-pilled 🤣 "I-81 could see $17 million | 144 BTC in funding for improvements"

Using @PayPerQ is like back before your company went all corporate and your IT coworker friend was allowed to try to fix your problem instead of acting like a nervous hostage and telling you to submit a ticket to the helpdesk.
