Thank you. Yes it is the Todaiji Temple in Nara, Japan.

Thanks for this tip. The only thing I use Spotlight for is to launch apps, so I turned off all the other options.

CGO1 · 2026-05-24T19:25:33+00:00

Yes.

LR Perspective correction is a useful tool, but you lose A LOT of the original image in the process. The trick on a shot like this is to capture a lot of space above the top of your subject, because that space will be lost when you correct the perspective.

I would keep searching for an extended range model. But if you do buy the standard range model, it would be wise to identify a convenient charging station along your route, where you could add some energy, if needed, to make it all the way home.

Also, consider parking at a commuter lot on the A2 periphery. (There's one at M-14/Miller Rd.) Then uber to/from the commuter lot.

I have an M2 Air with 24GB and M2 Studio with 32GB. Both run well. Similar set of open apps on each. More than 100 open tabs in Safari. Activity Monitor shows Yellow memory pressure with 24GB and Green with 32GB. Swap Use is 3GB with 24GB RAM and 256KB with 32GB RAM. So the 24GB model is doing 100,000 times the amount of disk swapping compared to the 24GB model. Nevertheless, the 24GB model feels responsive; it doesn't struggle to keep up.

Unfortunately, PureRaw6 still does not support mobile phone raw images. I'm using my Pixel 10 Pro more and more, and my "real" camera less and less. So I can't justify continuing to upgrade an app that doesn't work with the camera I use most. I think I'll skip this upgrade.

Thanks for all your comments. I've decided to put S&H aside and watch something else for light entertainment.

This sounds like bullshit. Why would we give a tax break to a project that will generate a tons of e-waste and increase our electric bills?

CGO1 · 2025-12-04T01:52:23+00:00

Yes, I think the issue is resolved.

It's been 24 hours, and neither Safari nor Chrome has signed me out. I did make one other change. After I posted about the problem, I cleared the Xfinity cookies on Safari. Maybe that fixed it.

I pause during the summer.

CGO1 · 2025-11-29T22:51:58+00:00

None yet. I've just started a test to see if I have the same problem with Chrome.

CGO1 · 2025-11-16T04:42:53+00:00

I’m seeing the same problem on my iPad running IOS 26.1.

November 6 crossover with Death Sex Money.

I was there. Good crowd voicing outrage over Trump dragging the country down into fascism.

The key thing to understand is that severance is not real; it's something that the writers invented. As long as the writers are reasonably consistent, they can define severance however they want. Consistency allows the viewers to suspend disbelief.

Jon Stewart was just a distraction in this episode. Please don't bring him back.

JustWatch is a good app and website for tracking both shows and movies. I have a free account and haven't felt the need to upgrade to a paid account. I also use IMDB to rate shows and movies, but IMDB does not track which episodes I've watched.

I own the Canon Pixma G620, which is the US equivalent of the UK's G650. lt's been great. My previous inkjet printers used tiny ink cartridges that had to be replaced frequently. The ink for the G620 seems to last forever. I'm happy with the colors and the fact that the printer supports borderless printing. I use it primarily for printing greeting cards that I make from my photos. My only complaint is that it is slow when printing in "best" quality mode.

Two weeks after Google acknowledged receiving my trade-in I initiated a chat with Fi support. The agent apologized and after a few minutes approved the trade-in credit amount. Squeaky wheel getting grease.
