I recently saw somewhere that gasoline can help. Might be total bullshit, or depend on the exact material. Might be worth trying on a very small area of the rubber surface. Outside in the shade. Gas fumes are bad.

Giving my pets scritches.

Love is fleeting. Doors are forever.

Some of my friends are into anime and live play TTRPG shows like Critical Role. I have no idea what they're talking about when they discuss those.

Outrageous lie back in the 80s.

Unfortunately true today with the internet and the surveillance state.

For me it's probably Minnesota, because of MST3K.

There are apps that do this, or try to. But I think they need root, and success varies a lot by phone manufacturer and country of origin.

For one example, there's an old Android app called Telman real answering machine. I doubt it works on modern phones. Might work on an older model.

It's a sobering article. Predicting the economic future is always going to depend on numerous variables. Hopefully it won't be this bad.
