I just spent the last two hours debugging the Bluetooth stack *in anger* because for the last few weeks I've had to re-pair my mouse with my laptop. Every time. Remove mouse, re-pair.
Turns out I had two identical mice in my backpack and I've been switching between them.
It was me.

Gochujang, the fermented Korean chile paste, offers intrigue in this otherwise classic chewy sugar cookie A gentle amount of ground cinnamon lends snickerdoodle vibes, and the dough is raked through with ripples of clay-red gochujang โcaramel,โ in which brown sugar and butter mellow the chileโs heat Mixing this dough by hand is highly recommended for the most defined crinkles and the chewiest texture.

If Iโm Putin itโs not true, right now Iโd be having my propagandists pumping out 100 versions of trump enjoying hubba bubba a day and having a team of user researchers pass those edits by dozens of digital forensics professionals to see which will stick under scrutiny

Hello Fediverse -- let's have an #introduction and introduce ourselves :3
We're dotmeow, a queer-run community project to register the gTLD .meow. But not only for meows and giggles! The profits of this gTLD shall go to community causes, turning every domain into queer community support, especially focusing on trans issues.
While we've already passed the ICANN Application Support Program, we're just now launching our web & social media presence(s). So while there's not much to see here yet, follow us if you're interested in registering a .meow domain and potentially supporting us in the way -- crowdfunding TBA soon.
Outside of announcements we want to engage with the fediverse as regular fedizens and won't spam you with meaningless ads <3

Redid my website to be static instead of wordpress and I've uploaded PDFs for a couple previously offline only things: Open Submission Window Now Closed and Records from the Alabastion Federation Archives.
