If anyone wanted one of those pingGPS portable ads-b receivers (traffic but no gps or weather, $275) but they were sold out, you can get them again. I had been searching for a used one off and on for months and discovered that they are back in stock.

The criteria for my list is that they are taken from real life misspellings, mostly from facebook or youtube comments but also from news media. I have noticed that a lot of people don't bother to consider the proper spelling of words but rather they just spell a word however it sounds to them. So apparently some people pronounce these words the same. Feel free to make your own list of multinyms that fit your own criteria.

I made the mistake of connecting my bose noise cancelling earbuds to the phone app so I could disable autoplay. They updated without any warning and now they won't charge properly and the noise cancelling sucks. It used to be amazing. Never connect anything and never take updates unless you need a specific fix.

I wrote userscripts to speed up annoying MS and okta logins, like the ones where you have to click to send a 2FA text or click a stupid checkbox to stay logged in. I also wrote one to show what I call "spending cash available" (cash minus credit card balances) on personalcapital. Plus I found one that turns youtube shorts into normal videos. Fun stuff.

The calendar has been broken for a while now. It is impossible to close reminder popups, neither button does anything. It doesn't sync properly anymore either. I wish there was undo when you accidentally click the subject header and it sorts by subject. It is really hard to get back to sort by date then unread.

Amazon pharmacy is the best. No hassle, no line, no stupid questions, no "closed for lunch", nobody coughing on you. And the price is so low you don't have to deal with idiotic insurance limits, I just skip insurance altogether. I get 90 days supply in about 2 days. Never going back to regular dumb pharmacies. Why is that a joke to you?

Very nice site. The northwest Sacramento, CA page has Natomas Field where I used to hang out all the time and fly amazing planes from. The flying club had a Decathlon for acrobatics, a Piper Cub for cruising low and slow, and a Bonanza for taking trips, plus many other aircraft. So much fun. It was so sad when the houses were built there and they closed the airport around 2000.

Skydiving. Nice hobby, lots of people to hang out with, go eat together after. Plenty of time to talk between loads. After a while you end up having friends all over the world, and you are welcome at a dropzone anywhere. There are quite a few different disciplines within the sport, from high speed to low speed both in freefall and under canopy. There's always something new to learn or practice and people to do it with. There are events organized all over the place, often around holidays, where people gather to jump.
