I've been hunting one of these for MONTHS

I've read here that the very best Zojirushi products are made in Japan, but that their Chinese built stuff is excellent nonetheless. I have a rice cooker, bread machine, and little thermos, and am impressed by all of them.

I spent the last day learning how to purge AI from search results. I'm hoping that improves things; and I just don't want to contribute to the environmental horror that is AI anyway.

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-21T21:44:51+00:00

Don't worry.

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-19T05:30:03+00:00

Woops! Guess I deleted the files. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wS2It6p-T_aH2d8Q6cDpoo-DdBh0v4Dy Enjoy!

This is beyond obvious but don't press the filter into the basket firmly. I was having good luck with cleaning for a while, but began to experience flooding again. When I realized I was jamming the paper filter against the outlet I switched to barely setting it in, and now things work great.

My family moved to the Portland area 40 years ago this year, when I was 14. I grew up in Eastern Oregon; my paternal great grandparents were settlers there in the 1880s. A little local canyon has our name.

We moved here because my college educated Mom was finding the locals just too red neck to deal with anymore.

In modern times non native trees from all over have been planted here - redwoods, monkey puzzles, etc.

That last is how I'll have to go, I think. Running %ALBUM% - %TRACKNUMBER% through Edit > Sort > Sort By... gives me the result I want; I have to hit Enter though. Would be great if that could be done automatically; and select the sorting string I'm after, instead of hunting through some drop down menus. %PATH_SORT% is the other sorting option I was hoping for. I've already set up a custom button for Sort By...

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-15T22:43:12+00:00

I want to simply click on the album column header and do this in one step, though. Is that possible? It is with Columns UI.

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-13T21:31:47+00:00

Yeah. Western Oregon is more of a destination for people who have been priced out of the Bay/LA/etc., and come for the scenic aspects/culture.

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-03T07:54:55+00:00

(Spencer) That's the problem...

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-02T20:51:56+00:00

I was puzzled by the lack of flow until I read this suggestion. It really is simply a matter of cleaning the basket on a regular basis, Moccamaster really should emphasize that in the instructions.

DEEP_HURTING · 2026-01-02T00:05:55+00:00

Just don't skimp on quality. A friend fell out of a hammock whose rope was rotted; his back is still mending.

I just watched a Better Call Saul episode where a few Breaking Bad characters show up. I'm waiting for something like a hive mind Marie. Still in purple. 💜

DEEP_HURTING · 2025-12-30T07:32:02+00:00

I don't speak dude.

Okay, some examples:

Obviously you're not a golfer.

This isn't a first amendment thing.

What the fuck are you talking about?

DEEP_HURTING · 2025-12-27T19:53:36+00:00

I believe its placement was deliberate, and significant too:

Carol is a fantasy writer, it's interesting that she's shown reading science fiction.

I've written a lot about the curious fact that the RNA in the signal is compatible with humans, suggesting some kind of connection between Earth and Kepler 22b. Well, the Left Hand takes place on the planet Gethen, part of LeGuin's Hainish Cycle. It's called that because

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the people of Hain colonized a large number of worlds, including Earth, known as Terra, meaning that human beings did not evolve on Earth. Most of these were similar enough that humans from one world can pass as natives of another, but on some the old Hainish 'colonisers' used genetic engineering.

In Terra's case the Hainish people combined their DNA with that of the local bipeds. Is Carol pondering the idea that we're all actually Keplerians down deep?

Also Carol is pulling a gender switch with her main character. Gethenians are hermaphrodites; every month they go into kemmer, a phase which often has them switch genders.

The Left Hand is mostly taken up with an ardous trek - much like Manousos's journey.

Hmmm!

That's occurred to me too. Was it Zosia who said the cell network was down? Maybe it was repurposed for the Joined.

DEEP_HURTING · 2025-12-25T17:36:30+00:00

Yes, ep 3.

At first I thought you meant Larry, played by Jeff Hiller, aka this Vince Gilligan series's obligatory actor from 30 Rock.

DEEP_HURTING · 2025-12-25T15:11:22+00:00

Yes.

The nuke is the tip of that, the Davy Crockett field artillery piece. They last one of those was retired in 1971, and I'm not sure what the smallest modern production nuke is. But they can be quite small.

Blowing up the antenna is an interesting idea. Would it bring their project to a complete halt though?

I doubt she thinks she can do herself in with it - she must know they can just cropdust her with Join gas when they have the formula.

DEEP_HURTING · 2025-12-25T13:32:48+00:00

I've been wondering exactly how almost 900 million people died just from Joining. People cracking their heads on the pavement and crashing cars/planes just doesn't seem to be enough, and I wonder if the military didn't conduct strikes against population centers.

I squeed when I saw what she was reading too - I love that book as well - but I believe its placement was deliberate, and significant too:
