This is a minor point, but I really love USB audio devices that announce themselves correctly:

RESTAURANTS Starbucks will exit Russia after 15 years, closing 130 licensed cafes. I can't wait to see the new Russian knock-off.

w00t. After my first order getting utterly messed up, the OWC Thunderbolt 4 cable I bought off BozosPenisRocketsAndBridgeDemolition.com arrived today. Careful readers will note I bought a TB3 dock and not a TB4 one, but I still elected to get a TB4 cable. I did this for a couple reasons: First as Grawk mentioned in Jacob's Jacobless Jacobing, The TS3+ and TB docks in general are picky AF about wires. Secondly, I might end up with some TB4 devices in the future. The utter lack of drama in connecting the TS3+ dock was lowkey impressive. *boop* Power connected. External monitor comes to life. Turning off WiFi and the gigabit ethernet does what it says on the tin. I have not tested the optical digital output yet, largely because I cannot be arsed to dig up a cable of sufficient length and run it behind my desk. TL;DR: If you're going to make use of a Thunderbold dock, do not skimp on the cable. The OWC branded one I bought was about $60 shipped, and was much better reviewed than the sea of Chinesium ones that ranged from $15 to $40.

Oh boy. So Sports Illustrated featured a plus sized model named Yumi Nu on the cover of their swimsuit issue. Everyone's favorite Kermit Thee Frog sounding Canadian self-help grifted Doctor Jordan B. Peterson had to open his big yapper about it: Things did not go well for him. I have not seen a public evisceration like this in a while. Ragequit!

Yeow. RIP to Vangelis, a man in need of exactly zero introduction. There's no way I could even begin to sum up his career, impact (or, ahem, collection of synthesizers) so I'm just gonna say this: When I did my Saturnine mix 2009, I included his song Ask The Mountain with Stina Nordenstam ‎on vocals:

I forget who said it, but someone in here mentioned they drive by the SmugMug HQ (the people who own Flickr) and that the bulding is a dump. Went on Google Maps and, uh, can confirm: https://goo.gl/maps/sYgVyvq8SHxQTSFH7
