Windows 11 ended support for vertical taskbars and the default setting is along the bottom with the tasks centered. You can change the “taskbar alignment” setting to “left” but that just aligns the tasks to the left side of the bar. There apparently was a registry hack that allowed you to move the taskbar, but that got patched out by the time my work updated my workstation
Hey Windows, set my taskbar to run vertically along the left side of my screen. 🖕
The FDA requires that irradiated foods bear… the statement “Treated with radiation”…
“Day one” I think it was
Boring everyday stuff like reading notifications without pulling out your phone, watching videos on public transit, watching a tutorial while working on a project, reading a recipe while cooking, navigation, watching whatever people watch when they get high, text magnification for folks who need it…
Those seas in particular? Because they are bounded by narrow straights.
A gulf has a more specific definition. A sea has a very broad one.
A gulf is mostly enveloped (engulfed) by land, but fairly open to its parent waters relative to its size on one side. Like a reverse peninsula.
A sea can be just about any large, salty, body of water that is between bits of land. They can have very finite bounds such as narrow straights and rivers mouths, more porous bounds like an archipelago, or broadly open to the ocean / other seas between islands or other land masses.
The question for me is “why is the Persian Gulf not a sea, but the Adriatic Sea is not a gulf?”
I guess part of it is that language changes over time, these things got named by different people over the millennia before they were well mapped. Some are translations from other languages, some are political decisions.
The idiom “a lemon in the hand is worth the boat you rode in on” conveys a similar meaning to the idiom “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”. It emphasizes that it’s better to appreciate what you have and avoid unnecessary risks or changes, as a loss of a current advantage may not be compensated by a potential future gain. The “lemon” represents something undesirable or less valuable, but the “boat” represents something that could potentially be better but is not guaranteed.
In Japan, they are selling a Japanese language only model that is cheaper than the international version. Any Americans that don’t understand that and try to get around the tariffs are likely to be disappointed.
I’m going to set aside my dislike for pod machines and coffee in general to point out that warm moist environments encourage microbial growth. It is best to open and empty the machine so it can breathe between uses; especially overnight or over the weekend.
Old house. Mice are seasonal for us. We get one or two in the fall when they start looking for shelter for the winter, and again in the spring when they start exploring/multiplying. We used traps, Now that we have cats though, they mostly stay away or get caught.
Fun fact! Pizza is already plural. The singular is a piz, which is where we get the English word “piece”, because pizza come pre-portioned. The word “peace” also comes from the same derivation, because it is impossible to go to war while enjoying a piz of pizza.

What if the singular of Kleenex was a Kleenek.
There is something similar but not quite. Masa is made from nixtamalized corn, but the process to make fresh masa means pulverizing the moist kernels into a dough. Then, to store for later use, the dough can be dried and ground into a flour: masa harina (literally “dough flour”).
I’ve been waiting years for 8bitdo the make a fully functional clone and they haven’t yet.
The closest they’ve come is a retrofit electronics kit for the OG shell last year.
Honestly, it would be hilarious if they did a goofy, “coming out tomorrow,” April Fools day announcement, and Nintendo snapped back the next day with “no, really, available now!”
We open the windows when the temperature dips, especially at night. If the wind is low or dead, we will use a fan to push the hot air out of one window so cool air gets pulled in though the rest of them.
We have a portable AC in the main room and a window AC in the bedroom for when it gets too hot during the day, or doesn’t dip at night.
If you live in a dry climate, a swamp cooler could work.
Yes, though it does not affect the nutritive content or prevent subsequent cultures from taking root, so you can still inoculate irradiated foodstuffs with live ginger bug, yeast, scoby, mother, etc. or open air ferment.
