Ooo, I’ll have to check this out. Thank you
Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

Same here for the most part. Every now and then I’ll see something recommended that may be on the edge but I’m not clicking it to find out.
I should note that I’m not talking about shorts so I guess I’m off topic here. They wouldn’t stop nagging me so installed a plugin to permanently hide it :)
I don’t know if “scuttlefish” was intentional but I love it.
It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!
O, and tell Derek I said hey.
Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.
You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?
: D
I think they just fixed it
Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.
You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?
I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said “it’s a blue Honda Accord”
The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.
At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.
The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :
Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )
Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.
Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.
There was a big headline recently about a tech company accidentally hiring a North Korean “hacker” (I’m just going off the headline) so that might be fresh in memory with regards to your laptop farm reference.
It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.
You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.
I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.
Ah yeah, that makes sense. There’s a big difference between a 7cm folding pocket knife and a 20cm fixed blade rambo-esque hunting knife… And I can’t think of any reason to carry the latter around in a city : )
I’ve carried a knife in my pocket everyday for the past 35 years or so. It’s a useful tool both for actual work and mundane tasks like opening boxes/etc.
A few weeks ago I was hiking near a lake and found a bird entangled in fishing line. It would’ve been very difficult to free it without some type of blade. Hell, it took almost 15 minutes even with the knife because it was so wrapped up and distressed.
Is it addictive? Like, physically addictive or “that was nice, I’d like to do it again” addictive? I’ve known people who used it daily for months and quit with no reported problems, side effects, withdrawals, etc. Of course, my sample size is 3 so this is anecdotal.
When it got banned in my area the “expert” witness supporting the ban was someone who owned a pain management clinic that primarily prescribed pills.
… No conflict there, no siree.
So now can we call them “pole hangers”? “Pole grabbers”? “Pole holders”? If they’re listening to music and swaying in time, perhaps “pole dancers”?
I’m sure there are better terms but I’m not very creative.
