Epsa sour cherry is phenomenal. If you like cherries, give this a try.
I found it at Greco, a Boston area greek chain.

Found this small sauce pan that's the perfect size for a can of soup. #cooking #food

I like Japanese BBQ but it's also always a little intense. They bring the meats out so quick and your table gets so crowded. I have to strategize else I end up like Lucille Ball trying to keep up with the conveyor belt. #food #restaurants #bbq

Saw a NeXT cube and some sort of Commodore at the #MIT Flea. #retrocomputing #retro

Picked up a #ps2 (SCPH-39001) at the #MIT flea market for $80. I know very little about ps2s but a quick web search tells me that this ps2 model is regarded as the most reliable.
Purchase includes a network adapter, power and video cables, controller, and a memory card. #retrogaming

Went to three local #Boston area video game resellers today. This is what I came home with. #retrogaming

@npub1j46…3gm7 Stage manager. I’ve been using it everyday instead since launch, although it still feels half-baked sometimes. I wish it were easier to swap windows between different stages.

Call me old-fashioned but I don't think Nazis should feel welcome anywhere.

I wonder if all this AI nonsense is going to age as well as the microwave. In the 70s there were microwave recipe books claiming you could make gourmet meals in minutes. The oven is dead! Now the microwave is just relegated to leftovers, popcorn, and frozen burritos. #AI #tech

@npub1h8s…cvp3 MacRumors’ buyers guide says there might be an update in 2024 or 25.
“According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, there are no major changes planned for the AirPods line in 2023, which could mean the AirPods Max will not be refreshed until 2024. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that new AirPods Max will launch in the second half of 2024 at the earliest.”

It’s been ten years since the premiere of Barbie. The public has endured a steady onslaught of movies about major brands.
Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård is starring in a movie. He’s playing the man in the IKEA manuals.
Critics say it could be Oscar worthy. It might even outperform last year’s hit psychological thriller ‘Mr. Peanut’ starring Joaquin Phoenix. #movies #barbie

When did we as a society decide that it’s ok for our dishwashers and ovens to chirp little tunes like they’re an old Nokia phone from 2003??

Thought: a burger restaurant that provides only Heinz’s mustard and French’s ketchup just to fuck with people’s heads.

@npub1mdk…aptk oh, that might not be a feature of the client I use (Ivory)? It’s not behaving how I described with filters.

@npub1mdk…aptk True, but in certain cases an automatic content warning might be better if you want to be aware the post exists and choose on a case by case basis if you want to read it…verses filtering it out entirely.

Are there any #Mastodon apps that can apply content warnings to toots that don’t have them based on the presence of user defined keywords or tags?

@npub1mdk…aptk In my experience anxiety prevents me from doing stuff. It’s somewhat of a paradox. Maybe it’s because my anxiety stems more from a fear of making mistakes?

I remember this short lived Twitter clone around 2008. It was basically Twitter but your timeline ran horizontally. You had to scroll left and right. I think the posts also looked liked they were floating? They weren’t all in a single row iirc. Very weird.

iOS notifications needs a spam filter. It’s bullshit that in order to receive important notifications from apps I have to also be bombarded with junk messages from the same apps. #apple #ios
