I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited earlier this year and I actually love what they’ve done with it. It looks so sleek to me, especially in black.

I didn’t care for previous iterations of the Elantra. Dont get me wrong - they weren’t ugly. They just looked like standard car. Not bad just kinda bland. The newer style has personality, stands out much more and in a good way in my opinion.

I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.

I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn’t catching the screw… a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn’t hardware…

He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach…

But this isn’t the end. Oh no.

When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.

A lot of friends.

Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.

We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.

Mushrooms, mushrooms everywhere!

We get a fair amount in our yard from time to time - I think due to the old stump that used to be there. It’s mostly gone now.

These have just been the biggest ones I’ve seen so far not to mention they were a decent way away from the stump so they stood out to me.

We just had a lot of rain yesterday so I’ll keep an eye out.

I’ll give that a try! I’ve never taken a spore print before.

Is there any way to preserve a spore print once you have one on paper? I feel like that could look pretty neat to make the spore print, write down the ID, date and location it was found for a neat sort of artwork/learning tool.

I know a lot of people say it’s learned but I know I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember and as a kid I initially never did it consciously.

I had adults get on me for ‘giving them a look’ when I was a kid but like… I wasn’t giving that look intentionally… it was just a natural reaction… I mean, usually when I thought something was stupid or it baffled/confused me in some way but I wasn’t intentionally giving ‘nasty looks’…

Kentucky also has the Hot Brown and Derby Pie.

Derby pie is delicious.

The wiki someone posted mentions blackberry as the state fruit, which I didn’t know but could definitely see. I have fond memories of picking blackberries outside so grandma could make blackberry cobbler.

As far as drinks go, we also have the Mint Julip and the Oaks Lily, which are basically signature drinks of the Kentucky Derby.

So my 2023 Limited trim Hyundai Elantra is the same way. (And correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure KIA and Hyundai are more or else ‘the same’ at this point? Made by the same people or something?)

I ended up getting one of these: AAWireless 2023 - Wireless Android Auto Dongle - https://a.co/d/hXeBrWT

It’s not ideal but at least it elimates some of the wire mess and my phone itself isn’t physically tethered any where.

Works pretty solid for me so far.

My solution is for Android but surely there’s something similar for iPhone out there too?

Shouldn’t have to jump through hoops for this, especially for higher end models but here we are…

Cincinnati style chili is the only chili I actually like.

So far my favorite is Blue Ash Chili - I like to go there sometimes when I go to Cinci.

They have really good desserts there too…

Hmm… and here I’ve been buying myself all these Lego sets… Have I been doing this wrong all this time?

That said, I’ve already pre-ordered the Ghost and am pretty hyped for it because I’ve been staring at the old Ghost set on ebay for a couple years longingly…

…And I still need to finish building my xwing…

…This isn’t supposed to happen until your 40s…?

[concern intensifies]

I have back problems so my dog can sleep comfortably.

He’s a very good boy so I’d definitely agree it is worth it.

Honestly my thought on that is they had a story they wanted to write but felt they needed to use a popular IP as a ‘wrapper’ to get attention.

They never wanted to tell the Witcher story. They just wanted the viewership from the fans.

They destroyed my girl Yenn. I will never forgive.
