Is a cooking method from the 70s really… futuristic?

Not saying it isn’t worth it, though.

Nice to see news from Thailand that isn’t about their shitty royals.

Most browsers have some sort of tab search function nowadays, changed my life.

In Firefox you can search them with the bar (I think % first will make it search tabs?) And in Chromium-based ones I think you can hit Ctrl+Shift+a. I prefer the chromium approach as it also puts anything playing audio at the top of the list.

Is a funny joke, but Yoda speaks in a consistent OSV as opposed to SVO used in English. 🤓

That’s because, considering the bosses you have to fight, every character is weighted down by their enormous balls.

Boiled?! I’m not made of money.

When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

For me, a bad gallstone. Pain enough to make me throw up twice and they had to give me two doses of morphine before it worked well enough.

Been trying to remember if there’s an episode of a podcast I listen to that dealt with this (the modern mann, named for the host, it’s not male-focused, there’s a segment where Alix Fox talks about sex-related questions), and I think there’s a couple that are related but not precisely.

Communication is definitely one of the things I know have been brought up as very important. Setting expectations and boundaries.

This may be one of those topics I think you might have to browse reddit to get a lot of experienced/detailed answers for - /r/EthicalNonMonogamy would be the place to search, probably.

Musk certainly is confounding.

A millennial, I think.

Wine is just brandy that isn’t finished yet.

When it comes to 3D games, if they tried for realism, they can’t, IMO. Stylized 3D can look pretty good even when fairly old, but old 3D that tried for realism just looks dated. Even a lot of 3D games now that try for a more realistic style (outside of the huge AAA studios) look kinda bad to me, but I’m very sensitive to the uncanny valley effect. I mean, even before they updated the models and world, WoW still looked pretty decent long after release.

Yeah, I just set up a catch-all and use individual emails for everything, like the gmail + trick but without sites rejecting + characters occasionally.

Of course, I have several domains and one is a .rodeo that some older sites refuse to believe is a TLD so there’s that problem…

I highly recommend Dankmus on YouTube for anyone. You can listen on other platforms but they also have accompanying videos.

I mean, I go on twitter daily, but only to follow artists, and, like… game devs for short form news updates.

Not whatever… most people apparently use it for.

I also use userscripts that prevent the ‘for you’ tab from ever showing up or being selected.

Yeah, I ended up getting a cheaper shittier one to test out if it would work out well but that’s pretty much the one I settled on upgrading to eventually. It’s a bit harder to get cheaply in Australia.

If I can’t run it with home assistant, I’m buying a dumb device instead.

Trying to buy an automated feeder for my cat was a nightmare. Why does everything have a camera and require an internet connection to China? Everything was on tuya! It’s fucking ridiculous. You don’t need cloud processing for this shit. Finding something that’s just a timer with a battery backup that wouldn’t fail to feed my cat if the power or internet briefly went out took way too much effort.
