Failures

It's no secret that ALL cloud storage services data mine the crap out of every file, every photo, every document to extract as much personal information as possible to build a consumer profile so detailed and intimate that most consumers would have a heart attack if they saw it... and sell that information to whoever will pay for it to create "a more personalized online experience". That's why most of our data is now self-hosted on our NAS.

What's the weather like where you are?

It was the not knowing and the forecasts were never accurate that kept a fun mystery about the weather... especially the winter weather. I was old enough to drive when my mother asked me to go to the dry cleaners to pick up some clothes she had there. The cleaners was only a few blocks from our home. It was snowing when I left and by the time I got the clothes it was a white out. There was a little burger place next to the cleaners and a guy ran out and asked me to take him home. I said yes and had to wait on him to shut off his cookers and lock up the place. By the time I dropped him off at his home It was nearly impossible to traverse the deep snow. I managed to get back to my addition but got stuck. I walked home and got a shovel and walked back to my car. Long story short, it took all day to dig and drive to get back home. It dumped almost two feet of snow in short time with a light to moderate snowfall prediction. Back in the good ol days when weather was any man's guess.

Is there any way to prevent spam calls from ringing on a Pixel 8?

I do not answer calls from a number not in my directory. I haven't answered an unknown number in over a decade. I don't cut the call short, I just let it ring. I'll give a voice mail a look but rarely is any left. I get maybe two unknown calls a week.
I rarely ever get any calls from outside my contacts list. After the Boss Lady had her surgeries I'd get calls from the doctor, hospital, etc, and they'd come through. My call filter blocks known spam calls automatically.

Brain Fart of the Day

Ah my brain fart of the day lately was,I forgot to check in with mom about my wifi service and she said it was about 95% used up, so no more streaming or anything, she does not knew I just factory reset my device oh only yesterday ... OOOPS, but I am glad I was able to back up my main apps and everything else, went super quick, so there was no waiting until it was riden over.. No wonder the wifi was spotty on my cell latey.

E-Bikes

I went riding when it got into the high forties. They had the windy right but it managed to warm a few degrees above the forecast. I rode around in town until I got bored. I put on my balaclava and did one loop to the town South. I logged 26 miles before I put the bike up. It felt good to be riding but my nose has been running ever since my return. I was the only fool out riding this afternoon.
