Trail though the woods that run along the Rio Grande. I often walk though here and enjoy these autumn blooming flowers. Didn't notice until later that the focus was less than ideal.

Wettertrend: Durchbruch der Frontalzone - Frühherbst nicht auszuschließen

Im September bleibt die Großwetterlage zunächst noch von einer blockierenden Konstellation geprägt. Zwischen einem atlantischen Tiefdrucksystem und einem osteuropäischen Hochdruckgebiet liegt Mitteleuropa zwischen den Fronten. Deutschland verharrt damit in einem Bereich, der abwechslungsreicher nicht sein könnte und zugleich eine Wetter- und Luftmassengrenze ermöglichen kann. Klar ist - geringfügige Veränderungen der Positionierung der Wettersysteme können zwischen Spätsommer und dem frühen Herbst entscheidend sein. Mit der Luftmassengrenze ist auch beides möglich. Spannender kann eine Wetterentwicklung kaum sein.

Damn I spend too much of my life trying to nurse crap tech back to life

My Brother MFC-J4510DW printer/scanner feels like it has been on its last legs for *years*, but every time I bring it back, somehow

Now *why the hell won't it scan*? 🤨
Or more precisely even connect to scan?

And yes, I know The Oatmeal Cartoon

And yes, this might be a Brother, but not *that* Brother printer!

Best printer 2023: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine

The best printer to buy is the one that works without you needing to think about it or subscribe to some nonsense ink refill thing. For most people, that’s the Brother HL-L2305W or something like the MFC-L2750DW that adds a scanner.

I'm experimenting with getting rid of Spotify for...several reasons, and trying out locally downloaded music instead. I bought a few of my favorite albums on Bandcamp and have a local player on my phone. So far so good, I just need to build out my library over time.

My question to folks who are doing similar, how do you discover new music? I'm trying to follow artists that I already like, but often that means I'm hearing about their new music (which is good) and not new artists.
