  • I’ve avoided Microsoft for years, but recently I’ve been reducing my Google use. I’m still on Gmail, and Street View is special, but I’ve been slowly replacing Google utilization:

    • Search: Duck Duck Go
    • Maps: Open Street Map, OsmAnd
    • Drive: Extra Hard Drives
    • Chrome: Firefox
    • Home: Home Assistant (WIP)

    Upcoming projects include replacing my phone’s Google-built Android image and transitioning to ProtonMail.

    It’s not one big project, it’s lots of projects. It’s worthwhile, though. Along the way, I’ve reconnected with my love of good tech and I’ve gained new hobbies like privacy and contributing to OSM.







  • It’s worth trying. Lobster has a mild flavor and a smooth chewy texture. It tastes great with butter and lemon, though there are probably better ways to enjoy it. Crab is similar. One thing that takes some training and patience is removing the exoskeleton. But, that’s pretty fun, too. My kiddo likes to play with the claws afterward. When no one’s looking, I do too.



  • I can see this being an unpopular opinion. I regularly hear people complain about Arby’s. Also, at least once a year I’ll hear some rumor about maggots or the plastic wrapped, pre sliced roast beef resembling alien heads in formaldehyde.

    TBH, I try not to think of that. They make a good brisket sandwich. Curly fries, too. Those are great. And, like OP says, even their chicken is good.
