I use Debian btw
My monitors are over a decade old and are still perfectly fine. I’ll upgrade to 1440p/144 Hz when I start seeing dead pixels or some other failure.
They have DVI ports and all my stuff is too new for DVI so I’m on the adapter diet lol
When I was in the sixth grade, I went to a school that required you to have a badge. I had bad untreated ADHD (pretty sure I still do, just saw a psychologist about it about a week ago) and so it was normal for me to lose or forget my badge. If you didn’t have your badge, you had to get a temporary from the front office, and if you showed up to lunch with one, you got one cold uncrustable for lunch. That’s it. Everyone else was served a full hot lunch.
So I have bad memories of being lunch shamed centered around these things. Besides, I love my extra crunchy Jif.
As a BeamNG.drive player: absolutely I would.
I’m a ceep
I’m a shitten
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
Hate to break it to you, but nostalgia will probably make them cool. Nostalgia is the rosiest of tints.
Duolingo is the only exception.

Got it. Full of holes. Uhh…what caliber, sir?
Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It’s not that they’re the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they’re so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you’re not in contact with the ground, you’re slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.
And if that wasn’t enough, they meow and purr, too.
I think today marks the anniversary of a coup led by Augusto Pinochet to overthrow the democratically elected Chilean government led by Salvador Allende, who was the first Marxist to be elected president in a Latin American democracy. The CIA investigated itself using declassified documents and determined no wrongdoing. Just that it “appeared to condone” the coup, but found “no evidence” of any participation, which means the United States definitely participated to some extent in the rise to power of a ruthless autocrat who disappeared or executed thousands of people and interred and tortured tens of thousands more over nearly two decades.
Or something like that.
iirc, PlayStations in Japan flip the functions of X and Circle around. Circle is generally an “accept” button while X is generally a “back/cancel” button. Now I heard this many years ago so it may not be true anymore.
I think it makes sense when you consider where A and B are on the SNES controller. And it also makes sense for them to have moved back to the right face button (in the US) when you consider the Xbox 360 released a year prior to the PS3 and was kind of a runaway success.
Undertale made me ugly cry, thanks Toby.
Hell yeah animation is ok, and Gavity Falls is a solid 10/10 choice.
Between my brother, a mutual friend, and myself, we have over 1,800 collective hours in Borderlands 2. That was probably my favorite game for about 5 years. It’s fun enough on your own, but the game gets a million times between with co-op.
I thought the Pre-Sequel was pretty good. The low grav mechanic was a fun addition, and the moon being populated by Aussies was a nice touch. Borderlands 3 was kinda meh. We all had high hopes for it. It’s a pretty good game, but its greatest weakness is that Borderlands 2 exists.
Maybe the real Hidden Valley was the subdermal implants we made along the way.
Help! My flesh has fallen off, and I can’t pick it up!
Quit squaking, flesh wad. Nobody’s forcing you to buy anything.
My first job out of college was in a hospital. When you see doctors outside of their own setting, you quickly realize that >90% of them are pretty stupid at literally everything else. I was an accountant processing travel reimbursements for business-related professional expenses (mostly vacations disguised as conferences and workshops for CMEs) and many of them just could NOT understand why they weren’t allowed to claim alcohol on their travel reimbursements. Literally, the IRS will not allow it. And even if it did, state law forbids it, too. Sometimes, I got angry emails because they couldn’t claim miles for taking a detour to visit a relative before going to their destination after I adjusted it as if they drove directly from work to the airport. Shit like that. I was good friends with the IT guy there and he had many similar gripes. Most of his job was arriving on-site to plug machines in because they swore up and down on the phone that the machine was plugged in.
I’m convinced the majority of doctors are just average intelligence people who spent a decade practicing and mastering a skill. That’s it. Anyone can be a doctor if they can be allowed into med school and sink the time and effort into becoming one.
Amongst my siblings, none of us is shorter than 5’10. My sister is dating a man who is 5’6. They’re so cute together, but I felt so bad when I first met the guy because I wasn’t expecting him to be that short. So I opened the door and looked right over the poor fella.
Hahaha I wish I had friends who loved me this much.
I use Flat Circle. It’s not free, though.
Living in tornado alley, having a TV antenna and a weather radio is almost a requirement. If the Internet gets knocked out, OTA still works. Also, my Internet is shit so I wouldn’t rely on it if a tornado is bearing down on my location, but I do also love watching 9½ hours of nonstop tornado coverage when nasty storms might come my way.
Outside of that, I know to tune in at about :15 past the hour during newscasts to catch the weather report, which gets uploaded to their website later anyway. If the football game is on, I might catch that if I care to watch. I don’t really watch OTA otherwise.
But I’m 32 lol
