Great. If that was their reason, they could explain that. But they didn't and that's my beef.

But since you seem to be tech savvy, you also already know why they don't explain which great features of react they want to use on this page. And we all already know it's not for the user's benefit. It's for money they receive from data mining every minute of our lives.

I hate how these kinds of messages never explain WHY. It's just "Do it. Do what we tell you." πŸ’€

Bad day for me - 573 points. Mostly my locations were way off. If anyone has tips which could apply to today's pics, I'd appreciate that.

spoilerI frequently guessed Spain when I should have guessed South America, for instance.

Maybe these were just tough ones to guess on?

Who has time to hate things like QR codes?

Yah there have to be other ways a mod could protest still.

I do it just by guessing. No time for researching all those pics. It's still fun for me.

I got 235 points and thought that was pretty good, but then they said some people got more than 350. Oh well.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Not any more. I destroyed it on advice from the internet.

Yah, I learned in this thread there is more than one kind of "doodle".

Cool so it's not just my area. Others here gave good reasons for them to be popular, unless you have any other thoughts?

 

Hey, something like 10 dogs walk past my home every day and I swear something like 6 of 10 are Bernedoodles. Unscientific, I know but my sister got one too. So, it seems too frequent to be a coincidence.

Does anyone here know why this breed is so popular in the last few years?

My guess: since I live in a conservative place (in the USA) someone famous got one, or said they're great dogs for "patriots" to own. (/smh)

But thanks for any ideas. I searched around but all I got were those BS filled, "What you should know about the Bernedoodle" pages, saying dumb stuff like, "Bernedoodles have quickly gained popularity due to their cuddly nature and lovable personalities". I bet there's something else going on here.

My fave parts (edited for brevity):

The adult mites are 0.3–0.4 mm (3⁄256–1⁄64 in) long. Each has a semitransparent, elongated body that consists of two fused parts. Eight short, segmented legs are attached to the first body segment. The body is covered with scales for anchoring itself in the hair follicle, and the mite has pin-like mouthparts for eating skin cells and oils that accumulate in the hair follicles.

... and ...

The mites are transferred between hosts through contact with hair, eyebrows, and the sebaceous glands of the face.

Ohhh good.

 

We pay to go to a live show. The crowd is excited to see the artist. You can feel it in the air. They appear on stage, plug in, start with a quiet but heartfelt acoustic number.

And 600 people keep their conversations going.

What. The. Hell. People?

Between songs, the artist makes polite but vague statements about how even with the PA, he can't compete with all that noise.

They keep talking.

Grrrrrrr...

 

I'm a fan of WFMU, a user-supported, ad-free radio station in New Jersey (USA) in general, but this specific program seems like a good fit for this community. It's not just about privacy but that's a really common topic.

It's described as:

Conversations with creators and thinkers who are charting the way forward in a tech-saturated society. In our shift to a digital future, we need alternatives to Big Tech. Homepage: techtonic.fm

They talk to authors of books, talk about big tech anti-trust trials and so on. Check it out. You can stream the last 7 years worth of shows for free from the provided link.

This was one of two for me. I was visiting near Winter Park, CO (USA) and got to explore the dirt roads. Not many people or cars. Peaceful and great scenery. Very fun and wonderful weather. Got to try out using my new SP Connect phone mount + OSMAnd for navigation. Can recommend for sure.

Let's see pics or hear stories from your rides, folks. Where did you ride? What amazing things did you see?
