Not sure what sort of length on play you're looking for but wingspan and terraforming Mars are both really good board games that have good-to-quite-good mobile versions.

I have found synching to be very useful for making copies of files across devices. I have it setup to mirror photos from my phone, photos from my wife's phone, and various other things (to-do lists for todo.txt, notes and shopping lists for obsidian... stuff like that) back to my desktop and my NAS. You can set it to do one-way sync (which is more like a backup) or two way sync (where changes anywhere are propagated to everywhere else).

As others have said, it's not really a true backup solution, but handy to have immediately accessible copies of what's on your phone in case of phone loss or damage.

For photo viewing and sharing, I am more or less pointing the photo sharing app on my NAS to the photos I sync from phone. They all get dropped into an "inbox" when first synced and then can be organized from there.

You may also want an actual backup solution. There are quite a few and that's a different topic. The reason I bring it up, though, is that simply mirroring what's currently on device is not considered a real backup by most people, and for good reason.

I will always recommend baratza. If you can spring for Encore ESP it will future proof you in case you want to go down the path of espresso. Otherwise the Encore will def serve you well.

A short hike

Yeah its the PR machine in action.

Use milk, not creamer. Even better, half and half.

Brew it really strong (espresso of you have a machine) and pour over ice cream.

Iced coffee with milk.

Regarding the flavor oils in the grinder, using something like "grindz" might help, as well as some sacrificial unflavored coffee.

Less than 2 years since the last update here.

The phone I currently use is more than 2 years old.

I'm gonna go with more than mildly infuriating.

Right of course. But I doubt they developed and published their app in-house is my point. If they contracted some developer, who knows if the ACLU themselves or some formerly contracted developer gets notified that the app is "old" (if anyone at all is notified).

Edit: I was right. This is the app developer for the ACLU app you screenshotted - https://www.quadrant2.us/

Just ran into this as well with a different app.

I wonder if the organizations the old apps are associated with even know.

I imagine whoever did the app dev and publishing knows, but I bet a lot of them are contracted developers (and who knows if they're even still around)

I hope this is AI generated.

Nothing. I bet it tasted great.

Let’s see the poorly generated art, the “self driving” failures, and THE HANDS!

This was from around 3 weeks ago. I pretty religiously (pun intended) blocked and reported ads from the "hegetsus" fundie christian bs group for probably 6-8 months. Naively I thought it actually started making a difference.

Then I just get served an ad from them with a little note that this was "Posted from a blocked account".

"Blocked"... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

I really like nearly all of Wes Anderson's work. I heard someone say this was like Wes Anderson trying to make a Wes Anderson movie... and I agree. Not that that's a bad thing, but things can often come across a little cheesy when someone knowingly "turns it up to 11" so to speak.

Also, it felt like this was (perhaps arguably) Anderson's most "meta" film. Again, not terrible, but also very on the nose and not very subtle.

All said, I do feel like I would like to watch it a few more times before really cementing where I put it among Anderson's other work. Right now it's probably mid-tier for me.

Love to hear other people's thoughts.

I know that guy who supposedly popularized the term wouldn't necessarily agree with Steely Dan as Dad Rock, but to me it fits the bill.

Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.

Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.
