From a certain angle it could be a compliment. “I know how good you are, so I can’t undersell you”

Use that angle when someone calls you out on this insult.

I second this, but only for work from home folks.

Is it the 40 pound box of cake mix that kills? Or is the person hucking the 40 pound box of cake mix?

If all you want is HA, green is the right answer.

I got a mini PC the beginning of this year and I have a bunch of stuff running on it now, in Proxmox. It’s been a lot of complicated learning, but I’ve had fun.

It would either be Golden Axe or Space Cadet Pinball.

I also watched Pokemon and DBZ when I was young, not even knowing about anime.

In highschool I thought “What is anime? Let’s give it a shot”. I opened up Hulu and somehow picked out Non Non Biyori. Looking back, it was a banger choice.

I can appreciate that.

But does that mean if you phone it off, the physical switch is unable to do anything? Or does the switch just get inverted?

Default state is a hard left, flooring it is a hard right, precisely 50% is straight.

I love the Moon+ Reader app. Tons of features. I like that it has a dark mode and you can set the brightness very very low (on OLED) so reading in the dark at night is comfortable.

In addition to all the automation everyone has talked about, some of us are also data nerds.

I enjoy knowing the temp, air quality, etc. in every room. How does this change throughout the day/season? Did leaving this door open or this fan on improve anything? What can I automate at what threshold to improve things?

You can also get a lot of data about energy usage too. And if you have solar and battery, it’s neat seeing how much it affects and how much you save.

Automation is useful, but in the end it’s just a hobby like many other things. It’s fine to be into it or not into it.

I stumbled upon this regex crossword puzzle a while back. I was never good enough to get it, but it seems like it could be fun.

I had a really good laugh today when I remembered that the area 51 raid happened. And the Naruto runner.

Do you digitize it yourself? That seems like a lot of work, even using ocr. And then making it pretty with formatting and all the stuff to make a good epub.

I haven’t seen that much Gundam, but I think most/all Gundam have wheels in addition to legs. I guess it’s the best of both worlds. Wheels are best for even terrain, and legs enable traversal of uneven terrain and jumping. In fiction of course. In real life, we can’t build anything that complicated.

Let this be a lesson to everyone: Don’t sign up for beta testing brain chips like this guy. It’s subsidized by subconscious advertisements.

All the Kings Horses - Two Steps from Hell

I’ve always liked how the banjo kazooie games did it. Rather than being a hub world, they had a lot of stuff to do that it makes the “worlds” into sub-worlds

I know this, but I’m peeved that when I shut my computer off with Firefox open, I have a 50/50 chance of it automatically bringing all my tabs back on the next launch.

Oh god, maybe they’ll start calling actual child labor “open source”

I remember making a mirror/disco ball back in the day with all AOL and other trash disks that would come in the mail or cereal boxes.
