I miss the pandemic. Socially isolating meant I got to spend more time with my kids and extended family than I had in decades due to limited sports and other activities. And even work, while it didn’t stop (luckily), provided more valance - especialy more than now.

Whole ass-milk

On the Beach by Nevil Schute. Read it as a kid and didn’t realize what I was getting into. Kept waiting for the ending to have some kind of silver lining. Something. Then the last of humanity fucking dies and the last character commits suicide.

So…a new Dark Alliance game is up next?

So…you’re close to me. Here’s what you want to say - and it WILL vary from person to person regarding what you get so try to find someone you like and stay with them (or a few of them).

“Number two, sides and back. Blended in tight. Cut the top down so it just falls back - not spiked, just falling back.”

The “just falls back, close to spiked” is the key length thing for the top. Also, them thinning the side to blend in better is a good thing and will make it look better longer.

Huh. No one has said ground meat breaker/chopper.shen my wife got one, I said it was a waste, a spatula was fine, etc etc. Then I used it once…holy crap so much better and easier to get exactly the chunkiness you want from ground beef, turkey, etc. Love the the thing now.

Saw Lost Highway with two friends - only one couple was in the theater with us. Halfway through, we all started discussing what the fuck was going on in the movie we were so confused.

You can only use an Apple Watch with an iPhone. While you CAN use one without a phone, you need an iPhone to configure it the first time (or if you need to reset).

Thry are very locked in.

Well, that’s going to leave a mark.

Dating myself…but…AcidDraw was what I used back in the day. That was for ANSI stuff as well.

It’s SpaceX at the top again.

This place is way more fun than you might think.

I always have (stayed woth MP3s) but its harder and harder to even listen to them away from a phone. Major issue I have now is it’s a PITA to play a local library on networked speakers (Echo, specifically) w/out voice interaction being the sole means of use. I just want a tablet with a nice interface to allow me to play music on various Echo’s and speaker sets.

Bluetooth is an option, but it’s not really “home automation” setup friendly.

Gotta stop those guns made from kids. (Per the first image caption in the article).

A ghost gun is displayed before the start of an event about gun violence in the Rose Garden of the White House April 11, 2022 in Washington, DC. Biden announced a new firearm regulation aimed at reining in ghost guns, untraceable, unregulated weapons made from kids. Biden also announced Steve Dettelbach as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

Used Kodi for a long time (even had an XBMC) and switched when it became more of a chore keeping Kodi updated across multiple devices than it was worth - along with wanting to play easier across more devices.

It’s unfortunate, but just the UI customization that I loved Kodi for couldn’t keep me on it over the lack of reasonable server/client architecture, minimal headless scraper capability (you can do it, but it sucks), and the general attitude of the forums getting very…angry/pissy?

What if we figure out a way to safely transport people IN something like a missile, self propelled, and can be launched on a schedule. Then we wouldn’t need the train at all!

This. I think we got an atari 2600nduring the crash because it was cheaper and more affordable.

Oh fuck. Totally forgot about that! Think I blocked out how bad it was to connect in Win3.1…but those sweet mIRC windows were worth it.

You have to do the bidet dance with a fixed one, works just as well.

The kids version reactivates ada of your not in child mode, just fyi. Came up during the recent sales and Prime Day.
