My Pixel 3a came with the little USB-C to USB-A adapter, so I gave it a try. I could pull up the keypad to log in, but my clicks on the numbers didn’t work. I tried another mouse, same result. I could feel the vibration, the phone knew I was doing something, but no little white dots to show I was entering anything.…

I have tried several lower cost webcams we purchased for our faculty, they all have a much wider field of view than the gold standard 78 degree Logitech.

My apologies if I gave the impression that SF doesn’t have fast food, I have a KFC/Taco Bell 3 blocks from my home, a walk up only. I wanted to mention that SF isn’t a drive thru kinda town. I should have made the point clearer. I checked the websites of each company and could not locate drive thrus in the city. …

Fun fact: San Francisco has none of the top 10 on the list within city limits. Not talking drive thru, we do not have the actual restaurants. (Starbucks is the exception, but the closest drive thru is in Mill Valley.) There are seven McDonald’s with drive thru, because this is America.

Fluid Dynamics! If they had taught high school science like this, I would have paid a lot more attention.

This recipe calls for a substantial amount of olive oil, not an inexpensive kitchen staple.

All great humorists acknowledge that the core of their work is truth. And sometimes pain. My sympathy knows no bounds. My funny bone thanks you.

Talk about timing-I had a video appointment with my doctor this morning, our first contact in over a year. After answering my question she wouldn’t let me go until she went over my immunizations. She explained all the safety protocols Kaiser has in place. I have an appointment next Friday for a blood draw, flu,…

A stellar solution to the frozen blintz’s fatal flaw: freezer burn. Well done.

Amen, brother. (Makes the ganglia twitch!)

The tuna called for “One 5-ounce (140 g) tin of tuna (preferred pole & line caught and MSC certified) in olive oil, drained” is the expensive stuff, miles different than the Chicken of the Starkist Bumblebee variety. I’ve tried it, but no matter what I make, it’s just disappointing.

When I was in grad school in San Francisco, I was poor. Like peanut butter and bread for a week until the financial aid check came poor. Sizzler was the only place I could afford a steak, and it came with all-you-can-eat shrimp. My friend Jim and I would save up and drive down to the Sizzler in Daly City. My fondest…

And The X-Files. An alien Super Soldier.

No matter how big this dumpster fire of a year gets, we can always, always, always count on Claire to brighten our days and embiggen our lives.

I reeeeeeally want to see this, and I reeeeeeally want to help in Wisconsin but I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally don’t want them to have my contact information.

Anyone done a nutritional number crunch on this? I’m really curious to compare it to traditional full fat dairy ice cream. My nutritional database doesn’t have some of the ingredients listed.

As my department struggles to keep up with supporting 25,000 students and faculty now teaching completely online, I’m wondering how many teachers and students who are trying to navigate Zoom and their school’s learning management system are even aware of any of this.

I work at a university, providing accessories to faculty. We’re scrambling to find USB headsets and webcams. All of the name brands are back ordered.

I installed Ricky Romero’s Shut Up: Comment Blocker on my iPad ages ago and haven’t regretted it. I can whitelist websites, but the silence on all other sites is bliss. He also makes plug-ins for desktop browsers. Make sure you search for the full title.

How about sprinkling French’s fried onions on that bad boy? Easy open can, check. No extra cooking, check. Crispy, salty goodness, check.
