Someone from the merchant called me back. Looks pretty certain that my most recent credit card compromise was because they were hacked with transaction capturing malware. I'm not the only one.
Fyi I'm going to start shifting over to @feorlen, but I won't be abandoning this account just yet. Given my usual, it will take a while.

I wish I could get everything at business Costco, it's so... civilized. I can also go in the morning and still start work at a rational hour. I'm going to try to work out something with the new job, where everyone is WFH two days a week.

Today was because I wanted help hauling a month's worth of not going to Costco. I tried home delivery once, their website is awful. I have one more week of Weekday Costco and then it's back to chaos.

Weekend Costco is the worst Costco.

ug that is super irritating. Good luck with the treatment plan!
@SifakaMon I hope Apple figures out that not everybody wants to carry around a huge phone. How am I supposed to use all their spiffy features if I can't safely take it out of my bag when I'm in public?

Spouse came home from the Halted going out of business extravaganza with a bunch of stuff.

Lots of nice tools, including many hundreds of dollars worth of PanaVise accessories.

And we now have approximately 6000 more resistors than we had yesterday. The packages weren't all labeled.

Sad to see the old silicon valley continue to vanish. Maybe they will be able to sell the business, or maybe rent increases will make it no longer viable.

I saw posters that the pope was going to visit Palermo, did not know it was going to be near where I was staying. I left literally just in time.

I wonder if the event was at the big traffic circle that has a huge anti-mafia remembrance sculpture. It's right next to the park where the homeless people were sleeping. The port area is grungy, but the memorial is a nice green patch.

Pope tells Sicily's mafia 'You cannot believe in God and be mafiosi'

Pontiff visited Palermo to commemorate Pino Puglisi, a priest murdered in 1993

T-mo marketing spam that I should pre-order something with "the largest display ever on an iPhone."

Yup, I bought a phone online today. A refurbished SE.
