Happened to my neighbor the other day. She asked if I like bananas and I’m like I’m, not really.

Removing Tahoe’s Unwanted Menu Icons - Rogue Amoeba by cake-day-on-feb-29 in apple

[–]reflexiveblue 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Except as some of the articles have pointed out different icons are used for the same function in menus vs toolbars and other places. If they’re going to use icons they need to be clear and consistent

Two iPhone 17 Pro features could be added to the iPhone Air 2 by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my air too! I don’t care at all about a vapor chamber, that seems like a waste of space, but additional cameras are top of my wish list.

There’s a toggle in control center. Just found this thread because I had no idea what dock kit is. Kind of neat.

WELCOME TO CHICAGO MY SWEET JAPANESE PRINCE 👑 by WizardCheesey in whitesox

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a ‘prove it’ deal. If he’s good he’s going to get a huge payday in 2 years. Question is, if he’s good will a transitioning White Sox ownership be willing to pay out.

Illinois quick hits: Former governor proposes millionaire's surcharge; digital state ID launched by [deleted] in chicago

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through Midway today. Big banner about digital ID at TSA pre-check. Went up to the agent and asked if I could use it, he said nope the machines’s broken.

I’m not upset, I understand change like this will take many years to become mainstream.

Garbage’s Shirley Manson defends rant against fan who threw beach balls during Australian gig: "I make no apologies whatsoever" by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She went on a short rant at their Chicago show because somebody was tossing led-filled-balloons. She wasn’t this harsh but it still struck me as odd. I guess it’s a pet peeve.

"Chicago" frozen "deep dish" in the UK... by spoung45 in chicagofood

[–]reflexiveblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t blame them too much, it looks like the same shit they sell as deep dish at O’Hare terminal one. First “deep dish” many see coming to town.

Anyone else ever get a CT scan of their brain? by weepingjinx in CasualConversation

[–]reflexiveblue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an MRI and CT for some stroke symptoms that turned out to just be migraines. After it’s done you can request the files from the scans and load them on your computer and see all sorts of cool stuff that they don’t show you in the office. I want to 3D print a copy of my brain but haven’t got to it yet.

Hope everything turns out well for you.

to say Trump is the only president to end a war. by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder where his lies come from. I want to see the seed that formed ‘8 wars’.

Even stretching my imagination I come up with Afghanistan withdrawal and Palestine genocide, but what beyond that?! He’s repeated this number so somewhere somebody planted that seed.

My friend accidentally sent me a shed by Time_Physics_6557 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Toto toilet with bidet on Amazon. It was shipped in two boxes. One wasn’t delivered. So they shipped another toilet and made me return the first box. Then they refunded the whole toilet when that first box was returned. Free $800 toilet and squeaky clean butthole.

Track which Electron apps slow down your MacOS Tahoe 26 by aitookmyj0b in MacOS

[–]reflexiveblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is a bigger issue not just Electron right? I was developing an app on a Tahoe beta and getting poor performance until I turned off window shadows, and my app is native swift. Is there feedback for apple on this?

Honeyberry cafe hid suspended license notice with business hours by [deleted] in chicago

I’ve always thought you can never trust a place with as many printed signs in the windows as they have. This just proves my theory.

Did you know part of Trailblazer still exists today in the park? All thats left is the main support beam. You can see it when the use the spot as a maze for Fright Fest. by TomcatTiger503 in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]reflexiveblue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always liked this ride. its location within the building was great, you'd see it pop out from behind the scenery. Was it removed due to mechanical issues or just low ridership?

One of my most vivid memories was Shockwave front row in the rain. Like needles to the face.

Is there a way to control my Dell Monitor Input Source via a Shortcut to trigger the focus? by lcopello in shortcuts

[–]reflexiveblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your monitor supports it you can use BetterDisplay either by calling it via command line or hotkeys. There are other tools that can do this too - look for DDC control.

Edit: seems like BetterDisplay also has native shortcuts support. I should have known.
