  • This is something that has always helped me out: For future reference, if you’re not sure how an update will work for you (stability, etc.), you can:

    1. Backup your devices on the computer (via iTunes). I have photos, music, etc. on an EHD. I recently helped a friend rollback to iOS 18 – her exact saved state prior to iOS 26 – from her backup on iTunes. When she’s ready, she wants to do a fresh install instead of updating from the iOS’ current state.

    2. Fresh Install. After backing up necessary info (iCloud, etc.) and logging out of services, wipe your iOS device. When you get to your desired iOS state (iOS 16, 18, etc.), the first app you need to download is your password manager, followed by the rest. It’s quite easy after that.

    # 2 only sounds scary but it isn’t – I do it every several months. As long as you backup, you’re fine.

    In case you’re wondering why I chose to run my apps from an EHD it’s because of my experience with updating OS and purchasing new Mac – the transition was smooth and effortless. I can open my music on my old 2021 MBP (first M1 chip) and on the iMac at work or any MacOS. I figured that if I could do it on windows there must be a way to make it work on a Mac.

    iOS 26 may take some getting used to especially for some folks who only use one device and one OS. I’m still getting used to it, my work phone is on iOS 26 and my personal phone is still on iOS 18. My parents kept bugging me to update their phone and a few days later, they absolutely hate me for what I did to their phone, Lol.

    Pink lakes arise from a combination of factors, which include climate and hydrology of the continent beneath them, in particular the level of salinity. The orange/pink colour of salt lakes across the world has often been attributed to the green alga Dunaliella salina, but other work has shown that bacteria or archaea are also involved.[1]

    They look so lovely – in an unnatural way but lovely nonetheless.






  • United States v. Wheeler, 254 U.S. 281 (1920), was an 8-to-1 landmark decision of the US Supreme Court that held that the Constitution alone does not grant the federal government the power to prosecute kidnappers, even if moving abductees across state lines on federally-regulated railroads at the behest of local law enforcement officials, and only the states have the authority to punish a private citizen’s unlawful violation of another’s freedom of movement.[1] The case was a landmark interpretation of the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the Constitution,[2][3] and contains a classic legal statement of the right to travel which continues to undergird American jurisprudence.[4][5]

    Thanks for the reminder, OP.





  • Butterfish It is delicious but smells so bad that nobody in my family wants to cook it at their house so we would go to our grandparents’. The aroma lingers for more than a day if you don’t properly aerate the place. Febreeze, candles and other air fresheners do not work.

    Bagoóng It is a Filipino condiment made of shrimp paste. There are other variations but still stinky.

    Durian @[email protected] is right about the heavenly durian milkshakes! My siblings and I would eat them outside — we weren’t allowed to bring them inside the house.
