My take is that you only need one page of apps on your home screen. Get rid of all the other pages, just search for whatever apps you need.

@today my day was RUINED because I learned that you can put FOLDERS in your app dock, what kind of PSYCOHPATH puts FOLDERS in their DOCK

"hello yes I want to put folders in the place where I put apps I want to access quickly so I can access them less quickly and make my dock look like shit"

California has checkpoints where they search your cars (for agricultural pests) before entering the state. How is this a thing??

Cool find

it has come to my attention that the includeHasMedia search parameter for the users endpoint is undocumented, so here is the psa that you can use api.wasteof.money/users/jeffalo?includeHasMedia in order to include whether or not the user has set an avatar/banner in the result

“Many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Mark 10:31

Many of those who are homeless today will one day be the most important leaders. Shouldn’t we begin serving them as their position deserves?

Trip to Pisgah National Forest. Turns out running and hiking on this multiple times a day leaves you pretty sore!

Another hot take: Switch the time of year for Cross-country and Track and field. Track times matter more, so doing the last, peak races of the season in winter would let you get the best possible times. Time is less important in XC, it’s more about place, so you can do late-season races in the beginning of summer without worrying about your PRs.

This would also have the advantage of letting you build mileage during the winter and work more on speed during the summer, which is a lot better than doing the reverse.

Hot take: I think America the Beautiful or This Land is Your Land would be a better national anthem. The tunes were actually composed by Americans.

Pro tip: If you’re going to bike anywhere in North Carolina, it’s always beautiful. But do it in the winter if you want to enjoy it.

Happy July 4! 🇺🇸

My hot take is I think 120hz is more important on a phone than a monitor. I notice it a lot more when it’s off on my phone than on my laptop.
