1 tripod = 12 oxen
1 cauldron = 4 oxen
1 woman skilled at weaving = 4 oxen
2 bars gold < 1 cauldron
1 ox = 1 ox
Apple Watch has a built-in workout type for “Cross Country Skiing.” Great.
It doesn’t use GPS and doesn’t record distance. 🤦‍♂️.
Apparently one of my neighbors got a new (unsecured) TV for Christmas and now I just have to live with this?
Just as soon as my blog started working smoothly for the first time in years, I’m completely unable to reply to other Micro.blog posts. I don’t know what could be going on here, but I’ve sent email (since I can’t reply to @help).
My web hosting service severely rate-limits requests to xmlrpc.php… which has made using MarsEdit effectively impossible for me for that past five or so years… which practically killed my sites. I went back and forth with their support on multiple occasions during that time, but the problem was never resolved to my satisfaction. Then yesterday—out of nowhere—it occurred to me they were filtering based on the file name xmlrpc.php so I renamed the file (well, first duplicated, then later symbolically linked) and now MarsEdit has no problem connecting to my site(s).
