Google, can we please get an “always in original language“ setting? I never want a channel I subscribe to translated.

I have no idea how I didn’t know this until yesterday. But, The Swiss Family Robinson is actually Swiss and originally written in German. 🤯

I’ve done a lot of unsubscribing today. My RSS feeds are broad, because I like reading across the political and ideological spectrum. However, I have no space for the celebration or justification of violence or death.

Is there a non-political alternative to the Verge out there? I just want consumer tech news and product reviews.

I’m still rocking an iPhone 15 Pro. Nothing I’ve seen in the iPhone 17 line-up seems like much of an upgrade. — The phones just keep getting bigger and heavier. I think I’ll wait another year.

Is there a meaning behind Bugs saying “no” that I’m not aware of? Just my wife sending a link to a taco shirt. I promise I’m not in an abusive relationship! 🌮 👕

I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. — I’m at the crappy stage where I feel great and strong, but still look fat. All things with time. This time next year, I’ll be where I should. 💪

We’re going to see Beethoven’s Fifth next month. — It’s silly, but I remember going to my first symphony when I was in college. I determined then I’d raise kids who went to symphonies. The dream is becoming reality. I’m proud of the family Jennifer and I are building!

Funny how the body works. I took a week off strength training because I had a cold. I was annoyed about having to stop only a few weeks in to my new plan. I went back at it today and… the rest must have been needed. Started the routine stronger than ever! 💪

If I owned a car magazine, blog, or media outlet I would not allow a review or coverage of a single electric car unless the manufacturer had a model available under $35k. I’d also forbid all coverage that made $60k+ EVs seem like affordable, reasonable, family vehicles.

This. This is what I’ve been dealing with at work. I get asked for my advice, but then argued with. So infuriating!

Trust at work is a funny thing. It is hard to earn and so easy to lose. — Leaders, it’s never about the isolated incident. Think through the impacts and how staff will perceive it! Once you’ve lost their trust, it’s near impossible to earn it back.

I’ve been really pleased with Babel. I appreciate how it actually explains grammar and conjugation. In my limited (two months) of doing Latin on Duolingo I was frustrated that conjugation was never taught.

This is why I’m so happy Babel lets you set a base language other than English. No you (formal) / you (informal) / you (plural) to worry with here!

I am finally doing the unthinkable. I am learning a language actually spoken in the Americas! — I started Spanish and I have to say it’s a fun little language. Already loving things like dropping pronouns, c & z having regional differences, and b & v being the same!
