Akismet claims it's catching spam comments, but there's never anything in the Spam folder despite my having "Always put spam in the Spam folder for review." set. Is it lying to me about this?

A couple of years ago, I built the (now-discontinued) Foreplay tube preamp from Bottlehead. I'm finally getting around to building a power amp to go with it and I'm looking for suggestions. Bottlehead has gone mostly to integrated amps (besides being really expensive) so that's feeling like it isn't an option.

Nap time is nap time, no matter where he is.

I've got a couple of files (empty directories) in the Trash I can't delete. I own them, the mode is 777 and whether I use Empty Trash or use rm from the command line (with sudo or running as root) I get "Permission denied". I tried booting into recovery mode and setting csrutil to disabled but that did nothing. Any ideas? It's not the end of the world but every time I empty the trash I have to deal with the dialog box about not being able to delete them.

i have a format for note-taking in meetings that I currently copy/paste to use in new notes. I would like to be able to create a new, empty, note based on that format so I can skip the copy/paste step. I have Templater but it seems far more complex than what I need. Any suggestions?

Absolute JS newbie here. I am able to use fetch() to get JSON from a URL but I can't figure out how to do anything with that JSON outside of the fetch itself.

Here's my code (API key and GPS redacted):

fetch('https://www.airnowapi.org/aq/forecast/latLong/?format=application/json&latitude=X&longitude=X&distance=50&API_KEY=X')
        .then(result => result.json())
        .then((out2) => {     
            console.log('Fetch Output: ', out2);
        }).catch(err => console.error(err)); 

Any code that references out2 other than console.log() call gives an error that out2 is undefined. How do I get access to out2 anywhere else?
