Phat.

That has morphed into thicc.

Don’t click this link. I’m warning you, you’ll be sorry in ways that I can’t begin to describe.

So I’m not particularly proud of this, but the emergency broadcasting tests used to scare the bejebus out of me when I was a little kid. Like run into another room and hide scared. I don’t even really know what they were or were for, but they just seemed scary.

I keep my phone mounted on the air vent right in front of me, and I can say, “Siri, message my wife blah blah blah” she’ll read it back, and I’ll tell her to send it. It’s not 100% safe, but it’s way safer than holding the phone and typing it out. Nothing in a car is 100% safe, people take their eyes off the road to adjust the heat & a/c controls or turn the radio. My point is that text-to-speech is multitudes safer than holding the phone. And trust me, my job has me on the road all day. I pass plenty of people on the interstate with their heads down into their laps for stretches at 80 mph.

Hey hey, why is text-to-speech catching a stray?? I can speak way faster than I can type, even if I do occasionally have to fix a couple of typos. It beats the heck out of typing on the iOS keyboard. And text-to-speech while driving is way safer.

I spent a good bit of time curating my follows on Lemmy/PieFed, so I see things that interest me here and don’t need to go back to Reddit. I still do occasionally for some niche stuff that’s not really available here, but I spend the bulk of my time here.

A Buffalo chicken pizzoli from Marcos. First time I’ve had one, and it was actually really good!

I see what you did there…

The Swingin’ Medallions have had a rotating group for most of their career, but Wikipedia does say that the drummer, Joe Morris, has been consistently with them since ’62. So I guess they’ve only had one. And they were still performing last year.
