Well, I’m buying a house in this hellscape market, so this will likely be the last personal trip for a while outside of anything for work. 😅

I’m trying to get a trip to India done, though, for work, but Romania and Dubai may also be work options.

This was only my second international trip. I travel on average about once a year for work though and occasionally see family in New York and Atlanta areas.

I am in love with jollof rice!! I feel like that’s all I ever want to eat for the rest of my life! Haha!

About 20 years ago, my grandmother built a house in Ghana near Cape Coast as a sort of legacy for her children, grands, and great-grands. It’s been on the list to visit while she was still here and also while my dad was still here, so this has been a very emotional journey. My grandmother used to spend about 9 months out of the year in travelling particularly in Africa because she always felt that it was our “true” home.

My aunt goes every other year, and I finally had the time and the means to go. It was a very fulfilling trip because this was our family home, and I was with some of my cousins, too. A week is a short time, but there is so much to see and to do, that even 3 months wouldn’t be enough time. I got a wealth of experiences though even in this short time, and now I can plan better for the next time I come here. ☺️

I’m sitting in the airport lounge in Accra after spending a week here in Ghana.

I’ve taken so many pictures and I think this has been a life-changing journey. Before this, I used to write daily, but whether from aging or just fading desires, I’d all but stopped writing anything in the last few years. This trip has renewed my fervor for writing again, so I’m just excited to pursue my lifelong hobby writing just because I can once again.

If you’ve got nothing else better to do, I made some daily posts in an old-fashioned blog I’ve kept for a while: https://kaitco.wordpress.com/ (Maybe skip the post where I wallow in depression from Tuesday… 😅).

What’s that idea where if the title to a news article is a question, the answer to the question is always “No.”? 🤔

Brah…she’s got guns! 🤦‍♀️

Walz is a regular hunter.

No one is coming for the guns. Oy…

That’s the key. Your coworker isn’t an illegal. They arrived the legit way (in theory). So, it’s those other dirty people who are ruining the country. Not the “immigrants”, but the illegals.

So, of course Trump wouldn’t deport them, right? The GOP fully appreciates the difference between a Guatemalan who came here and has a valid Green Card versus a Mexican who crossed a river, right? The people who refer to all of Latin America as “Mexican countries” wouldn’t just round up anyone too brown and revoke their status?

My Jellyfin just quivered…

Seriously, though. “Christians” includes anyone within the net of the Abrahamic religions? This is the widest cast of people possible makes everything said after the title insignificant.

What might be significant, though, is the Muslim population that is disappointed in Harris for not taking a harder stance against Israel, and has threatened not to vote at all.

Personally, I think it’s asinine to avoid a vote because the options are between someone who is not taking a hard line against Israel, and another who is on the record saying that Israel should “finish the job”, but then… I’m not a single-issue voter, so these things affect me differently.

This is such a loss!

I’ve loved her work for practically my entire life! I think I’ll watch Clash of the Titans tonight.

Not entirely. All cans currently made (at least for the US) have a super thin plastic liner to help the drink avoid taking on too much of a metallic taste.

There are multiple YouTubes out there that will show you what happens when you dissolve an aluminum can; the dissolution process removes the aluminum and leaves the plastic liner.

Good.

He does this thing where he tries to intimidate people by unexpectedly pulling them during a handshake. She was ready for him, to the point that he had to add in another hand to avoid her pulling him instead.

Watch Biden’s face following the handshake (it’s right at the beginning of this link).

She also stepped up when he tried to do that bullying handshake thing. He couldn’t even bully her subtly on the side, so he definitely doesn’t want to face her again.

Why are people commenting on porn sites?? Is there some major discussion going on?

I’m from Ohio, and confirm that I’ve witnessed this!

I can’t recall offhand. What I will say, though, is that your PS4 is not designed to be a streaming device. It can utilize streaming apps, but that is not its purpose or focus. The apps available on its platform will always be a step behind those for dedicated streaming devices such as Firestick, Roku, Chromecast, AppleTV, or specific streaming apps on a smart TV.

If you are concerned about data harvesting, you should migrate away from Plex and onto something open source like Jellyfin overall. Once Plex closed their code and pushed towards monetization, they began harvesting data just like any other streaming service. That said, there is no Jellyfin app on PS4, but it is fully accessible through the PS4. Again, however, your PS4 is not really meant to be your all-encompassing streaming platform. A Roku or Firestick is very cheap, it is designed to only stream apps, both of Jellyfin, and Plex if you need to continue on that path, and will provide a far better viewing experience than a PS4.

That face has been modeled after at least a dozen botched surgeries and Botox sessions.

Dude…what’s your CashApp? A Firestick costs like $20.
