  • If this was me, and I used to just keep a notebook of the wines I liked, there’s a couple ways to go about this.

    Edit: in the Fdroid store theres an app named Cavity (terrible name) or Wine cellar that might be what you want for your own wine tracking.

    Info on new wines is simply not going to come for free (or “free”) bundled in an app unless you make it yourself. But wines you try is a much easier thing to track. If you can just accept they need to be 2 different things, it an easier task.

    IMO, what you want is to create and self host a survey that let’s you easily and quickly enter year, location, attributes, photo of the label, notes, etc. Depending on how granular you get with flavors and tasting attributes, you could get in a groove and log a wine with dizzy thumbs and low light in a minute or two. Then you just decide where that data lives, and how to get it back into a spreadsheet or SQL db to search it.

    You could do most of this in a Google form/sheet, though you’ll simply get nagged and tracked later in more subtle ways.

    I’ll be real honest, I suggest you ask ChatGPT on options, and suggest things like you want to build a survey in HTML (it’ll do this for you) that lives on a device and is bookmarked for easy access, sends data to, let’s say a Dropbox file you access with an API, and you use another HTML page you save locally to search.

    For real, let us know how it goes, because I would all get some use from this.


  • Formally, it’s the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Mon Mothma is the Alliance’s Chancellor, which is a sort of association of rebel cells spread across the galaxy. So she’s sort of elected by the leadership of each rebel cell.

    Then on the starship side, it basically seems like anyone with a ship gets promoted to general and promised back pay once the Republic is restored. It’s sort of a gamble, but it beats smuggling spice and contraband.



  • 2018-2019 is when they officially turned the corner and decided to focus only on ad revenue. But the SEO abuse dove it into the ground by 2014ish. They were making money enough to expand by orders of magnitude into other areas, so they simply didn’t want to tweak their search or strategy and kill their golden goose that funded things like Good Drive and their shit social network and loon, etc.




  • Depends on the person. My spouse and I, along with 5 or 6 friends, use a variety of key words from a couple shared languages to talk about things when we don’t want other to understand. Mostly haggling or talking about sales stuff to discuss if we like something or think it’s too expensive when a human is hovering right there. So I can give body language of disappointment while saying “this is great.”



  • In practical terms, I threw a couple paychecks of USD into EUR when it was $1.11=€1 as a test case for if the Mar a Lago Accord ends up really happening. So late Jan, and ready to move more in 24ish hours if I these fools do more of what they do best. I made like $75 today alone just on the mid-market rate arbitrage.

    Y’all, were cooked, but I’ll bring beers to the cookout.
