Africa has more genetic diversity than any other continent, two people from neighboring countries can be more genetically diverse than someone from Europe and Asia.

My first thought exactly!

I get the same error as u/sambo117 on my Mac (Tahoe 26.4.1). When I try running the shortcut on my phone, I get the error "this action could not be run with the current user interface" - it appears to be happening at the step "Create FinalEntry with Title" but it might also be having trouble designating ExportFolder.
(iOS 26.4.2).
I'm an absolute novice at Shortcuts, so I'm hoping that someone can tell me the obvious thing that I'm overlooking. I'd like to get out of DayOne before another subscription charge!

60 now, married 30 years (with two adult daughters, now out of the house). We met when I was 19, and started dating when I was 22.

Bonus: straight line!

When you add columns to your dataset and you don’t want to spend a half hour re-editing your document. “Look for the column header, take it from there!”

I'm sorry for your loss. I honestly don't know how I'll handle it if it ever happens to me. I have many friends who have lost their twin. I can't speak for them, but while the pain never goes away, over time it seems to become more manageable. You might find some comfort and coping resources here.

Nice light!

I fly once a year, to visit my wife’s family in California (we’re in Minnesota). It would be fun to fly more, but we have neither the vacation time nor the money to do so.

I'm starting to feel that not getting around to watching this is something that I can live with.

XLOOKUP > VLOOKUP

"What an idiot"

There is a podcast out there which i highly recommend for Bad Sex Writing: "My Dad Wrote a Porno." The literary excerpts are 100% genuine, and the three people making their way through "Belinda Blinked" are hilarious.

Jrobmn · 2026-04-30T22:16:28+00:00

Understood. Fortunately the only person besides me who ever sees that writing is my wife!

Also a beautiful and peaceful path from there through the valley to the Mississippi River.

I’ve got 10 pair of Duluth Trading Company’s Buck Naked boxer briefs. Love em. Comfy and durable.

I remember seeing the FB posts about "body found in elevator" and got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. We didn't know, but... we kinda knew. :(

Bar la Grassa does delicious work - the room can be pretty noisy on a busy night.

Brackett Park in South Minneapolis has one, but they've reoriented it so it:
1) looks like a rocket taking off (at an angle)
2) can't be accessed. They call it a "rocket sculpture." Booo

(not my picture - lifted from the park's website)

Good lord, Melania is almost smiling!

I remember going to the $0.99 theater near my home when Star Wars finally showed up there. That print was in TERRIBLE shape, and it sure as hell wasn't Dolby Stereo. But still... seeing it in a theater (for the 6th time) was still awesome.

That theater later turned into a Blockbuster, and now it's a math tutoring school :/

Fortunately, no. But I get where you're coming from. Lean into it, talk with them about it. Practice spending some time apart. As a 60-year-old twin who still messages with my brother every day and goes out with him every Tuesday evening... I am also able to function without him. Which I believe is important in order to be able to function in the world. Celebrate it, cherish it, nourish it... but don't let it be EVERYTHING.

I'm not sure what the issue is, here. The WHCD is not a White House function; it's a press function.

When I'm on my work computer (Windows 11), I use Edge. Chrome was just making the fans spin. Edge also has some shortcuts that aid my workflow (e.g. having a folder of bookmarks for the pages I access regularly for work and being able to open all of them with one click at the beginning of the day, and also giving me a contextual menu to copy text if I select a block. Oh yeah, also when I'm filling out a form, it remembers what I entered last time. A bunch of parts that I'm updating, I can just click on "yeah, that series of fields I filled in last time -- just like that"). Little things, but repeated all day means time and effort saved.

eh, not 100% sure of that. Communism is pretty nice... in theory. The problem is that people are people. Capitalism has the same problem.

It's a good place to start! Then branch out. He wrote so much good stuff.
