The Pixel 10 Fold looks pretty cool, but it takes me back to, geez, late '80s / early '90s?, when Casio came out with a folding "B.O.S.S" data bank, a precursor of the PDA. I still have it floating around somewhere, and I'd have used it for much longer, except the ribbon cable between the screen half, and the keyboard half split, at some point, from the frequent flexing. How do you feel the Pixel's gonna hold up?

A tablet would be better... but if I'm going to lug a tablet around, my Macbook is better yet, since it's not that much bigger than a tablet and has a keyboard.

I did exactly this for a while as an on-call admin, and found the iPad to be a better fit. It was slimmer and easier to pack, if only by degrees, and if I couldn't use a keyboard because of the location - like literally standing in the foyer of a Broadway play house fixing a problem before heading in to see the show - I could at least peck at the on-screen keys with my thumbs while holding the iPad. Of course, ymmv, but for remote work, the iPad was the better option for me.

We already have *so much* fucking space in this country that it appears largely empty, if you get out of the cities. Drive on I-90 or I-80 west of the Mississippi, and you'll wonder why white people had to have all of that land, instead of leaving it to the Natives. We're not doing shit with it. Nobody's there. There's no reason we couldn't leave the Natives to hunt buffalo, as they had for generations, short of outright racism. Fk off with your "lebensraum," you deluded Nazi.

The Haudenosaunee - formerly known as Iroquois, but that was a pejorative term given to them by their enemies, the Algonquin - call themselves Ong-we-honek-weh, or The People. The Haudenosaunee is comprised of six separate nations - from east to west: Mohawks, Oneida, Onondaga, Cuyuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora - and the Senecas do, in fact, call themselves the Seneca Nation of Indians on their official documents. The Senecas I know typically don't make a big fuss over "Indian"; it's such a small factor in their day-to-day existence. If I'm referring to them, collectively, I use Natives, and they seem Ok with that, too.

It's hit and miss with the hallucinations. I use Meta's AI (Llama 4), and it gives me some answers that are just, "WTF?," and I call it out and it improves. Some other answers are truly surprising in their usefulness. For giggles, I asked for a hypothetical, "How would I do $this," and it gave me an answer that I hadn't been able to find elsewhere, and was, "Holy shit! Nice!" And sometimes, it just echoes what I asked. So it's like a box of chocolates: you never know what you'll get. But it certainly isn't all hallucinations.

My first Saturday in Prata di Pordenone, I woke up late and went out for a long-ish run through the nearby community, and got back to the hotel famished. Took a shower and headed out to find a spot to eat, only to learn that everything was closed until about 3:00pm. I would've eaten cardboard, if I'd found some. After that, I took to packing snacks in my backpack, just in case. It used to be PowerBars, but they don't make those anymore.

Way back in high school wrestling, we used to do stairs, and it might've been 18 or 20 steps, actually - basement to first floor - so we did them over and over. And over and over. Ugh. 40 years on, I still take the stairs instead of escalators, if I can; to the annoyance of my wife, but she gets over it.

You're being intentionally obtuse, and you know it. If you called up the president of Deutsche Bank and asked for an appointment for lunch, tomorrow, do you think he'd take your call? Likewise, if you called either senator, or your congressperson, do you think you'd actually get to speak to them? "The rich" is a club, with additional perks, and the vast majority of us ain't in it.
