@matigo on the flip side that 99% conviction rate depends on prosecutors being very selective and they were clearly on a fishing expedition that took advantage of your non-native background and lack of in country support network.
Took the day off from work today for a really fun, surprise 80th birthday party for my mother-in-law. We hosted and all of the grandkids and both of my wife's siblings made it over from the west side of the state just in time for the party!
@matigo Now that the Studio is here I suspect that there won't be any iMacs with a pro chip going forward.

@larand I'm old enough to remember when pre-Tim-Cook Apple regularly had pretty bad product delivery delays, but this seems quite a bit worse. I doubt we're going to get back to anything close to the efficiency we saw over the last decade for a long time to come.

@matigo I've been exploring the tildeverse [tildeverse.org] and gemini protocol [gemini.circumlunar.space] sites in particular over the last month or so. The minimalist aesthetic and smaller communities appeal to me and Lagrange [github.com] is an impressive cross platform gemini client.

@matigo Kind of annoyed with myself for not noticing for 12 hours.🙄 But very relieved and glad you're back home.
🧙♂ Expressive Iteration and Winota just got banned in Pioneer and by extension Explorer. Not really a fan of Wizard's approach to "improving" these formats at all so far.
@phoneboy They were actually looking to trade in an almost new Subaru Impreza that has improbably high market value right now, but not great city driving gas mileage. Interesting times.

@phoneboy On a related note one of my coworkers was looking into getting a Toyota hybrid and as of last weekend Toyota USA basically said nothing before Feburary 2023.

🧙♂ Picked up two Lightning Bolts and two Deadly Disputes at the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate prerelease draft. Prices are coming down now that the set has arrived, but a few weeks back those cards were going for $5 each! I actually passed on a third lightning bolt and kind of regret it.
