Try running this from the CLI (you'd need to install gifsicle first):

I just picked up the first gen AirPods Max on sale (~$469). I didn't think I would appreciate the noise cancelling as much as I do. Really helpful for focusing and tuning out the world around me.

I currently use an archive.is bookmarklet to grab the latest copy of a page — or initiate an archive if one doesn't exist

ProtonMail. @protonmail.com accounts are free, upgrading your account to a paid plan will let you utilize your own domain(s)

I'm a happy camper with their service
