 There was a point where having to prove I wasn't a robot seemed like SciFi. Something straight out of Blade Runner. Now I have to do it a dozen times a day. And it is more hassle and a let down of how mundane it is. 
 Another from the weekend. #sailing, #lakeontario, #rochester.

 Appreciate it. Have to get around to setting it up. 
 Just had a similar series of notices for privacy.com(virtual credit cards). By all means go ahead. They wouldn’t let me close the account when I wanted to. 
 Finally got Navionics to work on #grapheneos. Had to install Google Play, Login to Google, Download, Login to Navionics. Only then could I uninstall Google Play. Installing it from Aurora didn't work and gave me errors, even with Google Play services installed. Some weirdness for sure.

 Chart plotter software from Garmin. Basically mapping for boats. 
 I’m going to make a concerted effort to move from Mac to Linux. I ran Debian way back in the da... 
 No love for NixOS? :( I really like it, the ability to tweak and define actually working towards a repeatable build and being able to rollback if things go poorly. Great system IMHO and worth a look. 
 Worked Mark Set this weekend for Junior Olympics. Excellent wind both days got them plenty of races. 420s and Lasers. #sailing #rochester https://image.nostr.build/c1b93e284fe0b72167624c82e6deadf7e0884a9f1bd26a826d5ed08332456311.jpg  
 Finally starting to get proper wind up on Lake Ontario. Middle of summer can be so light. #sailing #rochester https://image.nostr.build/dd930e7da0c0057c3e977ec15370abe9397a9c14b2608ba4cf4ce81be0d52271.jpg  
 Symmetrical or Asymmetrical? New to the asymmetrical, but I have gone from rally dragging my feat flying a symmetrical to the asymmetrical being my favorite sail. Amazing what not fighting with a pole will do for ya.

In that awful waiting to here back about offer stage. #sailing #sailboat #rochester 
 Walking Highland Park when in full bloom is always a great experience in Rochester. 
 Cordless buffer, nc-17, must he boat season. Bit of work ahead, but looking to splash next Sunday. 
 Picked up a new to me, single season used, main sail for Potato(J/24). I love die hard racers that buy new sails each season. I'll be happy to have the 40% discount.
