88% humidity but 20°C and no sun. I’ll take it.

@gregatron5 they will sometimes show up on OpenADSB, though I haven’t used it in a while to say how often “sometimes” is these days

I tested the improved recording quality of AirPods 4 with the recently released beta firmware.

It's MUCH better than before. I'm impressed!

Audio clips in the story, plus details on file sizes, and how my voice recordings can now integrate with Apple Intelligence.

Went to La’ Shukran for the first time last night and both the cocktails (especially with arak) and the food were fantastic.

A pink hued cocktail on a brass colored bar with a bunch of mint. The cocktail has arak and tequila and sumac. Very refreshing. A cocktail in a low goblet. The cocktail is golden in color and has blended scotch whisky and arak, a combo which was amazing. A plate of escargot on a bed of hummus. The snails are covered in a green herb and garlic sauce. I can’t stop thinking about how good this was. Leg of lamb kibbeh nayeh. Traditionally this is made with lamb and burgul and spices, but here it takes on a more traditional tartare style with mustard seeds and an egg yolk. The plate is covered with a crispy bread.

It’s not good outside, but it isn’t as terrible as yesterday? Especially in the shade

Þristapar in Northwest Iceland is the site of the last execution in Iceland, which took place on January 12,1830. Friðrik Sigurðsson and Agnes Magnúsdóttir were sentenced to death by beheading for the murder of Natan Ketilsson and Pétur Jónsson. The site is now a memorial that tells the story behind and of the execution as well as promotes the abolishment of death penalty all over.

The weather suit the mood of the place the day of our visit. All the photos were taken at the site except for the grave. They excavated Friðrik's and Agnès' bones 104 years after the execution and had them interned at a churchyard in Vatnsnes, which we visited the next day.

@elithebearded @typingmonkey oh, those are usually new (current to last few years). But most libraries also have access to some older archives in other databases

Do any of you guys work at any companies that could use some design services for a project? Like, needing an app icon, a new logo, an advertisement, a website? Big or small is fine - @Iconfactory has some of the best designers around sitting idle and waiting for something to do! They can get started on new stuff basically right away if you email.

(Please help spread the word! Maybe someone you know needs it? We can do whatever! Get in touch. iconfactory.com/services)

@fedward that’s me. I will intentionally not start an exercise if I am just going for a walk, or it will turn into a “I can just go a touch faster” thing

Today is the first day of the Old Icelandic month of Sólmánuður. Literally Sun Month, this occurs right around the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.

We made an ICS file for your calendar app with all these days.

@montef I’ll be honest, wrapping the leaves is a pain in the ass.
