I expect his feet to be bare are hairy too.

Haha, that’s funny because we used it to pick up stations from the US!

My dad had the sports car VHS rewinder.

He also had a device that would turn the house antenna so that you could modify the reception you’re getting for the TV. I’ve never seen anyone else with a device that like that. The VHS rewinder just jogged my memory about it because they were next to each other.

Don’t worry about it. Everybody is just cautious about stories on the internet. Thanks for sharing!

Gnome tweaks:

I have a couple of Logitech Mx Master 3S mice I use. One really nice feature is that you can ‘unlock’ the mouse scroll wheel so that there’s no resistance. Just spin it fast and it’ll keep scrolling for quite a long time.

Actually this most recent version will do click scrolling when the wheel is spun at low speeds, but unlock and let the wheel fly when spun faster. Really great feature.

I know it’s also not what you were asking about, but I don’t know of that feature in Linux.

You’d be surprised how much food an urban homestead can produce. And no, one person isn’t going to feed everybody on food stamps but like many things, if enough people start doing it then it becomes part of the culture. Imagine if houses had a little homestead instead of a grass lawn, especially in the front. Whole changes in culture could occur. For example, one of the best things about Halloween in my opinion is that the whole neighbourhood comes alive with people out and about. If people spent more time in their front yards doing gardening (and not noisy polluting lawn mowing) there’s be more interactions between people and places would feel more alive and safer. </rant>

I honestly seek out audiobooks to fall asleep to. I will have portions of songs on repeat in my head otherwise and it used to take me an hour to fall asleep. Now I can tell how long it took me to fall asleep because of how far in the book I need to rewind before I can remember something happening. Lately it’s been tough to get through a book because I keep falling asleep within 5 minutes.

For long drives it’s definitely necessary to have a book you can really get into. I loved the Stormlight Archives done by GraphicAudio because there was music and background noises and each character had a unique actor (or at least an actor playing with different accents). Helped a couple of 11 hours drives pass by.

So a good audiobook to fall asleep to?

One line scripts are usually ok fir chatgpt to produce but I don’t use it for anything larger anymore. I tried using it for programming, but found I couldn’t expand or maintain what it produced very easily and would save time by just doing it myself in the first place. Sometimes it’ll give me library suggestions that I hadn’t known about. Overall it’s been a slightly positive influence once you learn what it’s capable of and don’t believe that it’s just magic.

He came to my small town and did a show there. Huge highlight of my childhood. My sister got an autograph for me, but I lost it somewhere. Such a great show.

No, I think his leg got blown off.

Stay away from the summoner!

N64 adventure games (except Mario). They were just janky messes with horrible frame rage camera issues, target hitting issues and weird looking environments. Looking at you Castlevania, but I can’t think of any others that I would want to play again either.

If you want some real nostalgia, there’s a great cover of the music by VomitroN. They cover the entire game but I’ve linked the end credits here.

Would you rather have cats or beans?

W-w-w-w-what do you want? Why do you keep touching me? 🎶

The secret audio track on the Warcraft 2 CD was amazing.

Contra and Mario were games I had mastered. Contra I could do reliably with 3 lives. When I was in grade 2 I remember starting up Super Mario 1 and selecting 2 players because my friend was over. Beat the game without giving him a chance. The game didn’t even switch to Luigi after saving the princess.

FISSION MAILED

And

I hear it’s amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

I still get a feeling of pride reading those words. Even more when I didn’t use the Konami code.
