It rained today. The cold air mass that triggered this brought temperatures down from the 90s to the mid-70s. While humid, it was nonetheless pleasant outside. I took advantage of this to go for a run. In the afternoon. At 3:30pm. In July. In Texas. IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Maybe I should try to get her a Mac Mini to replace one or both laptops. One brother went Apple ... I should ask him about it.

@lnxw48a1 Is the company whose speciality is vendor lock-in the answer?

@thndrbvr @dorkbird Did you ever try #I2P? I found the app in #F-droid, so I installed it, but it took years before it actually worked on any of my devices. Then, once I finally got it working, I found a directory in which most of the links were dead ... there was no longer a site there.

“Beavis and Butt-head” is returning for two seasons. https://www.indiewire.com/2020/07/beavis-and-butt-head-coming-back-with-two-new-seasons-1234571017/ [www indiewire com]
Used to be #sonOne’s favorite show. I really didn’t watch it or even see more than a few minutes, but I was subjected to my son imitating everything they said. (Highly irritating.)

Speaking of Helen Reddy, I remember when she was touring the country, trying to build up momentum behind her song “I Am Woman”. I saw an interview about it on a local TV station (ISTR she had been touring with the song a couple of years at that point, but my memory could be inaccurate) ... a few months later, I heard it on the radio, and the song became a hit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wE1sKKZqos Yvonne Eliman and Helen Reddy ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOCwE5D9Ghk ) both released this song around the same time. From what I’ve read, both were top-40 hits. But I only remember hearing YE’s version.

if filehandle ~= nil then
return filehandle
end
return false
This has been working okay, but I think
if filehandle ~= nil then
return filehandle, true
else
return nil, false
end
will more directly say what I mean. I need to read a little more to figure out which is more "idiomatic" for the language. (Or maybe ask @amic, who has used the language more than I have.)
