When you're wondering why your nerve endings are giving you pins-and-needles but it's a cat kneading your arse.

Just spent 3 hours searching for an app solution for my mother being able to easily let my mobile phone ring/talk to me (so I can get up in the night when she needs to get to the toilet) and - in case anyone is interested - I think this might work:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slide2talk.android.app

It has a big button for her to push and my phone doesn't have to be running the whole night for it to work (like baby monitor apps). She'll have to talk to wake me up, it doesn't ring, just bloop, and I hope she can remember that.

My first solution was the speed dial on the regular phone but she somehow doesn't manage to hold the key long enough, it doesn't work.

Other solutions work via SMS which would require a second phone card (she has a tablet).

"Find my phone" would work great but the "let it ring" command is a written line between others, no button, and she wouldn't be able to understand what she needs to press.

If anyone wants an idea for an app to program that apparently doesn't exist like that: Nothing but a huge button on the screen, sending a ringtone to another device, not using cell phone funktions, only wifi/same network/bluetooth.

(There's a "find my device" app on F-Droid but it requires me to "host my own server, easy-peasy, just do that" gods I hate those GitHub people. I'm aware I'm talking to them right now but I pretend you're better than that.)

🪻Oh, it's the 25th of May🪻

This shady ass account ridicules the alt-text function for just repeating their headline instead of describing the picture (which would be "six fingered AI slop of what you doofuses will believe is an old-timey beekeeper").

It's the same picture.

Hu? Wasn't Grok a YouTuber once - now it's some AI bot? I feel pleasantly left behind.

I got powdered toenail into my eye.

I guess I need safety goggles for when I wield the pedicure set (but it's the first time this has happened). (I already wear a mask, yes.)

Caturday video with Krümel.
I'm dropping the data load on Tumblr's servers instead of uploading it here:

[Fry take my money meme]

They omitted one letter and instead of "sweat proof" it's saying "shit proof" (or hard as shit).

If I wanted to reactivate my overgrown ear piercings, could I do that by getting scurvy? 🤔

I'm always delighted when automatic profiling clearly doesn't work (let's not talk about the murder gear suggestions).

Amazon is now telling me "we think you like Star Wars" and with that they're so far off I can rest assured they have zilch reliable info on me.

Ok, I made a book list, too - with large series I put up only the first novel, also for lots of authors I have simply read everything they wrote or what I found in libraries (I took a deep dive including lots of stuff I read in my teens.)

I'd say go ahead and do a clicky if you've read a different book by any of the authors because I have, too!

When I wrote above post it was still funny.
Yesterday evening I cut myself into my left thumb so bad I didn't even "haha another one" about it because it left me rattled; just short of "do I need to go to the ER with that" level.

How DO you wield really sharp knives without constantly cutting yourself?! (I think I got a solution for it that seems to work on the frozen fish I cut every day: I can hold down the thing I'm cutting using a "stamp" that came with my grater. Time will show.)

#FishFingers

I can't handle my very sharp knives. New evening, new cut. It's very much like in this video:

Amazon says people who bought the stuff I'm buying also buy zip ties and rubber gloves. 🤔

I just asked a Chinese fan friend who is NOT into danmei about papapa and gave her a laugh-stroke with that :)))

(She says papa sounds too much like oldfashioned "father"/papa to her, and also suggests it needs the three pas.)

For those who haven't read it: Arseclown was raised by scientology royalty and apparently trained well in how to be a two-faced monster - the article never uses that to excuse his actions though, btw.

Something I read but can't check because of the paywall:

Apparently Scientology made Vulture redact all the sect related information from the published article while the free version on the archive is still the original. I think this needs to make some rounds.

Sorry, I don't know how I would cw this - I started but then you'll have "scientology" and "Vulture" in the cw anyway and I'm not describing anything here.

Adding the hashtag for those who mute it:
