  Steam's recommending me a dragon washing game, I'm all "OK I'll check out the store page at least," yup it's a dragon washing game where dragons show up at your dragon washing shop and you wash them, and if you're really good at washing them you can date them and do sex stuff with them 1. This is not a game for me 2. I am delighted that this game exists 3. Amazingly this first-person dragon-washing game where you use your hands a lot does not do VR mode??? 4. Theor...

  POLL: Fedi people, do you have a website or blog or personal wiki or some other kind of online Thing That You Control Yourself that other people can find you on that isn't paid for / maintained by someone else, meaning YOUR THING is at a web address like you.whatever, not at you.someonelse.whatever or someoneelse.whatever/you, I mean are you paying the tenner a year or however much for a whole-ass domain name all for yourself (or for you and a small group of IRL friends), and if not do you w...

  Kiddo's had an unfortunate level-corruption incident on one of her Minecraft worlds and is pretty beat up about it, and I wanna ensure it doesn't happen again. I could write a shell script to compress her whole .minecraft directory into a tarball, stick the date on the end, move that tarball to another directory where it'd get uploaded to my nextcloud server and copied to the downstairs pi box and then delete the oldest file, maybe even do summat like keep one tarball a day for a we...

  Imagine reading a blog post that goes on for five paragraphs and then just ends abruptly with the last paragraph saying like "Later on, that simple and reasonable assumption would lead to two ruined pairs of underpants and a fire extinguisher refill." And then it just ends. You'd go "Huh, that's a weird place to end a blog post," and the ten people who knew that there was more if you clicked the post date would never tell you hey click the post date

  Alright so ROBINSONS SQUASH We have this drink in the UK where it's a very very concentrated fruit juice and you put a teeny tiny little bit into a big glass of water and it makes the water fruity and nice, and you can choose how concentrated or dilute you want your drink to be for different situations This is what I drank in my childhood because it's delicious, it's incredibly cheap and it comes in many flavours, and I miss it terribly But now there's this new stuff, the incr...

  Me: 🦝 Expecting someone to know how to install an operating system or that Substack is a nazi bar is honestly really specialized information, the world is full of things and nobody knows more than a tiny fraction of it and that same tiny fraction is never the same between any two given people, expecting everyone to know the same things that you and your peers know is a recipe for a life full of confusion, frustration and disappointment Also me, watching Jeopardy just now, where a contestant was...

  Thing that's impossible to search for because the search engines have gone to shit and I need to ask Actual People; fruit fly traps to buy online, do they work as well as an old jam jar with little holes punched in the lid and apple cider vinegar with a bit of dishsoap to break the surface tension, have you tested, have you or someone you trust done a side-by-side comparison

  37 degrees today so of course I went out in the sun to do the Ugh Fine I Guess It's Air Conditioning Surrender Time job, yanking off the panels and pulling out four years' worth of spruce needles and spiders and leaf mold, spraying it down with the foamy gunk and the hose and getting those fins Sparkling because y'know what if I'm gonna turn on a machine that draws Literally Two Thousand Nine Hundred Watts to do what is honestly a pretty mediocre job of cooling hu...

  Tomorrow I plan to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this country by going downtown and paying my respects to the brave men and women and non-binary individuals willing to make the sacrifice of donning ten kilos of fur and parading around as gay neon foxes in 34 degree heat 🇺🇸🎆🎇🦊 #anthrocon

  Seriously considering stacking two box fans atop each other strapped with furring strips and duct tape to create a poor-man's Windsday Addams a la #thisOldClownHouse

  Anyone on the fence about those fans that look like headphones, you hang them around your neck and they blow up under your hair, don't be on the fence anymore, they're really great
