I think it is just called Gallery from f-droid. Its got folder support and you can hide stuff you don't use. Its basic but has a decent editor and is not network connected.

I just finished Firewatch for the first time. Other than the clunky movement controls and lack of jumping. I enjoyed it.

Another example of why automatic updates are terrible. If it is my device, I should have the ability to opt out of it changing on its own.

Fair point, I can only speak directly about my local experience. Maybe I am too idealistic in thinking that you can partially teach or learn this kind of stuff away.

Realistically, the standard of living has been falling for a while. I work the same type of job my parents did but in real money terms, I bring home less than they did at my age. People look for someone to blame for that kind of stuff and will listen when someone validates their feelings then points a finger and says "they fucked you but I'll help" even if they are problimatic.

Imo, a big part of what I am seeing now stems from a lack of proper history and or civics education. I went to school in Texas, my whole education up to college we were taught that the U.S. was this beacon of good and positive things, there was an intentional effort to misrepresent Texas and U.S. history in a way that minimized slavery, racisim, and the genocide of the native population of the U.S. In short, it was a bullshit whitewashed fantasy novel. We should be saying:

"The United States did some really horrifying shit in the distant past, the recent past, and is still doing it today, those are the facts. We should try to do better than we are doing, and part of that is recognizing where we as a country came from, good and bad, so we can do better. You students are not bad people by default for living or being born here but you need to realize that fetishizing this country as the greatest country in the world and intrinsically linking YOUR identity to that of a false vision of a flawed nation, is hugely problimatic, especially when you base that identiy on the ideals of manifest destiny or other weird and/or rascist ideals."

When you separate the current individual from the history, and say this was/is the U.S. but it doesn't have to be YOU or the U.S. of the future, people are more receptive of hearing the bad. That is not to say we should minimize the awful things in our past and current, just that if a young kid is shamed, intentionally or unintentionally, they are more likely to fall into fringe and radical ideas and seek validation for them.

That doesn't help the brainwashed/backwards people who want to revert the country to the good ole days though.

The other thing that was really fundamental for me from good history teachers and professors was the way that they linked historical events with current events. That has been explicitly outlawed in Florida iirc and likely Texas too, this state does so much backwards shit though, I can't keep up with all of it.

We probably also need to remind people that facts don't care about their feelings, there isn't a such thing as alternative history, and that's just the end of it, there is no room for denying the horrors of slavery, the Holocaust, or any of the other numerous fucked up things in history. They happened, we have to remember that to prevent it from happening again.

I have always loved ther verbiage about Giraffes on the Wikipedia page below.

Yeahhhhhh, I used to recommend his channel to young engineers and techs because of how thorough he was at explaining the how and why of mechanisms. I don't anymore which is a shame because he was knowledgeable.

Every election for the rest of our lives is the most important election of our lives. Don't ever forget what has been done. Vote like your life and the world depend on it because frankly, they do. If you want another generation to grow up even close to the same quality of life we've had, it is critical to recognize that one party has been actively rolling back protective legislation over and over again against the better interest of the people of thos country and the world. Its absolutely disgusting.

Ahh yes, the contiguous block of states formed by Texas, Alaska, California, Lousiana, New Hampshire, and Florida. A successful basis for a new country...

The pikes peak international hillclimb is on the 23rd.

Just to add on, I am using an Xperia 5V on tmo us with no issues either.

Yeah, these bigger butts take as long or longer than a big brisket. Mine could have gone on an hour or so earlier too but I just sliced it up and used the more tender stuff for pulled pork and saved the still tender but not pullable stuff like ternderloin medallions. It still ate just as good.

Practice heat control in your grill. Learn how to create different zones with it for direct and indirect cooking. Experiement with dry brining your food. Get a good instant read meat thermometer and a good leave in thermometer with a couple of probes. Cooking on a grill is essentially the same as cooking with anything else once you know how to get your grill setup.

Its a lovely butt. You should be proud

Yep, just through the fat cap. Bonus points, it crisps up and basically pops off for some kickass burnt-end style crunchies. They were probably my favorite part.
