A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

any kind of push toy (like this) is a good bet.

That's adorable, too!

Anything that comes in a good-sized cardboard box.

Our wings are not tired.

Any journey that ends up with you in Italy isn't a total loss, at least by my (vague and loose) standards.

Same! I hope your luggage happens soon.

A good reason to use Firefox.

It affects Chromium as well which means all Chromium-based browsers like Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave.

Hey. New board.

> Arrived to find out that OF COURSE our luggage didn't make the connecting flight.

A lot of credit cards will give you some money in this situation if you bought the ticket on the card, for essentials while you wait. Worth looking into especially if it takes longer than tonight.

How is it only 1:15 pm? I feel like I've gotten a lot done and I'm ready to go home.

Hey. New board.

Brave

Brave has ad blocking built in at a level below extensions; that is essentially their whole model. It should still work I think.

I've been using Brave for a while and quite like it. Only have to whip out Chrome on like 1 out of 100 sites when JavaScript does something weird.

I don't know Brave very well, but if they aren't using that API for their ad-blocking, then it sure seems like their ad-blocking wouldn't be affected.

Kinda makes me want to give Pi-Hole a try.

Sounds like a stressful start to your trip, Dana. At least Italy seems like a promising place to find a new pair of shoes if you want a second pair.

That present is amazeballs, Gud!

I'm feeling much closer to well today. There's a chance of thunderstorms this evening, which may blow away any remaining cobwebs.
