Go look at my eportfolio, electrons sometimes do what I want them to

I assumed that there would be a function where one could export messages into a file and then import them on a different phone, but it seems there isn't really any software that will let an iphone do this

I'm currently taking the freezing cold plunge from android to apple. It's been a pretty big hassle so far, so I'll be documenting my troubles here. It actually reminds me a lot of moving from android 12 to 13, when everything became more sleek and abstracted

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

What got me riled up enough to post was discovering that apple's "move to ios" tool only works during inital setup, there's no way to use it after that. So since I've got my phone set up already, I can't transfer my text messages unless I wipe it and do everything over again

Telementry very pretty, and telemen flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor telemen is impossible to eat

Using the most dramatic indie music available to sell a boring piece of metal and glass that looks like all the other ones

I'm tired of device commercials, they're all so full of themselves

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

Picked up some SAE/Metric hardware assortments from Lowe's on clearance. The containers are awful for storing hardware, but they work great for tools

Finally have my very own scream extractor

Just buy stuff in the store, or buy from RockAuto, who appear to actually know what they're doing

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

I can't think of any online storefronts who are worse at shipping things than auto parts stores. I swear they would put a wrecking ball into the package if it would fit

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

Dang, I can only buy 100 air conditioners on sale, there go my hopes and dreams

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

Just finished up rebuilding these speakers and set them up with possibly the cheapest amp of all time on my PC. Does it sound great? No, but it sure is fun!

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

Good job Windows, searching Wikipedia for "sleep" makes much more sense than changing the sleep settings for my computer

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

I can't stand Walmart store pickup. Why do I need an app to check in? Why do I have to sit here in my car doing nothing when every other store lets you just walk in and get your stuff yourself?

Rotor screws are defeated

$10 Milwaukee drill bit got one and a grinding wheel, hammer, and chisel got the other

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

If this doesn't work I'm going to the mechanic to sheepishly ask them to remove two screws because my tools are just too wimpy

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

Honda brake rotor screw: 6
Impact wrench: 2
Impact screwdriver: 0
Torch: 0
Drill: 0

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

I've now purchased the fanciest drill bit I've ever used so I can try drilling out the screws again tomorrow

My new podcast for kids & families, Sound Detectives has captured the top spot in it’s category and is #23 overall… #bydhttmwfi

@ADI_News are there any stickers or shirts or anything from Linear? The logo is just so dang cool

[Fowler Askew @FowlerAskew]

I want LT merch so bad
