Ok maybe it doesn't neutralize acid but it still makes me feel better lol
I thought milk made stomach acid worse
I don't drinktn dew anymore since it gives me heartburn
I always had a craving for milk after have a stomach bug
probably not the best thing to drink
Down like 10 mentos and a whole bottle of diet coke. Should completely empty out your entire stomach
Can't have heartburn if your stomach is empty
O_O
Milk always makes it easier for me so it might just be me lol
There might be some other details
it explodes in both directions
Even better
Oh good
Clean out the ol exhaust pipe
That should fix constipation
If u know what I mean

...
would you like to swim in icing given the chance?
YES
i want infinite amounts of jello
That sounds difficult
DID SOMEONE SAY INFINITE?!? HALO INFINITE?!?
Like swimming in water, except only the stuff around your hands and feet move
HALO INFINITE??
So you arent actually going anywhere
halo infinite jello edition
I want to swim in a lot of things tbh
I'd like to swim through land
i wanna swim through a non-euclidean geometry pool
I want to swim in a whales arteries
oh
I miss streaming :(
I miss ur streams :(
seems there is a simple solution that satisfies everyone
what's ssstreaming
i think about streams and remember talking to a void is silly
talking to a void is silly
I would stream but I don't have time anymore :(
😔
balls.
With my new job I'm working 13+ hours/day
stream your job
i wonder how quickly a stream can be copyright claimed if you played overlapping podcasts
That sucks Bee. I'm guessing that's normal with the position you're at? Or is it just a weird company thing?
Oh it's completely by choice
How many days a week?
My actual job is only 8 hours so pretty normal but I started an apprenticeship that adds several hours to my day
6/7
Ahh I see. So you're hours will go down once you're out of the apprenticeship?
Fair then
Its more or less work and entertainment
Ive been situations like that. Enjoyed the heck out of it, no regrets
is it a paid apprenticeship? that's some cake and eat it too if so
Yep it's all passion. Not paid yet but will be after a bit of time
So yeah I'm working my ass off by choice but I absolutely love it. I'm pretty much working from 9am-10pm 6 days of the week
I take Sundays off so I don't lose my mind
that's a good move, lol
Once I start getting paid I'll probably start doing it full time
Assuming it pays well enough
working too many long shifts can easily drive one batty
Exactly
still need to find some passion gig myself tbh
Can't recommend it enough
Goes from "work" to just plain fun
Never thought I'd have fun scrubbing dirt off the floor of something
But I love it
gross, i refeuse to do work to make others profit without me getting some of that profit
I mean I'm still profiting from it. I'm gaining a ton of experience and knowledge as I go
i can pay you with exposure
yea it is my hatred of 'internships', which is just free labor. i'm happy a lot of places now are required to pay for interns even if it isn't a full salary
can't pay the phone bills with love or experience, lol
honestly paying sucks tbh
yea its why i've got everything on auto pay
that way i don't have to think about how we're all getting screwed, lol
supplier shipped us the wrong part 3 times
here's hoping #4 turns up before I just give up and go live as a mountain man
making burgers
give him a pineapple
That belly looks so soft omg
it's always tempting to rub the belly even though you'll likely get clawed doing so 😄
my cats shockingly allow you to pet their bellies
ours does for a bit, depends on his mood
my Mum had a cat that would bear hug your arm if you went near its belly
my cats are so chill about being pet
well, actually one shies away after being pet for a second
My cat used to love tummy rubs
very trusting
He was da best
...are there any modern producers of CRTs? 
If there are consumers, then probably
man, thinking about it, Vectrexes are probably the worst console to try to work on
one of the early all-in-one kinda systems, so the CRT display was built-in
If that failed...No idea how you'd go about repairing the thing 😬
crts aren't made anymore cause they're super expensive to produce and the extremely niche user base doesn't sustain that
ye, that's what i was thinking, but seeing as cassettes are apparently still being produced, couldn't help but wonder
obvs the costs of production between those two are likely vastly different but 🤷
yeah there are a lot of pretty insane materials required for CRTs, plus shipping costs due to how massive and heavy they are relative to newer display types
(relative to size)
Why would any modern manufacturer even bother with CRTS?
They're heavy, more involved, more expensive to manufacture and have lower fidelity..
I don't see the upside.
For a niche audience that likes them, same as vinyl
there is a community of people that prefer them for old school games and actually for some modern games, but its def not a large enough market to compel anyone to take on the massive risk
So is this an interest in a new CRT or someone fixing old CRT?
thing is the niche audience likely would still rather use old ones rather than pay the premium that the company would charge to justify the costs and lack of demand
young bee
There's some that argue the refresh rates are better, but I've never dug into the details to verify that.
The one part that is true, however, is that some games were made to display on CRT with old cables that just don't display as nicely on current monitors
vinyl is pretty simple to mass produce compared to CRTs tho, most things are actually lol
super expensive and dangerous
tbh i'd definitely be interested in seeing better CRT filters created or something vs. an actual CRT
tor eplicate a crt look just take a 4:3 LCD montior and get one of those plastic concurve pieces of clear acrylic
but apparently producing CRT filters is about as hard as producing a CRT or something 😂
and put it on top of the screen
that will usually add the slight distortion and seeing of pixels to create a simlar CRT look
lol
some game emulators have filters to add scanlines and such as well
i use the mode7 snes so that the graphics are HD and then add the filter to them to make them feel almost like the real thing
Yeah but a lot of those filters really aren't all that good, or take further calibration to get even sorta close
ah the ones that came with the bsnes and mode7 are like pretty much perfect
honestly wonder if there is some sort of software filter for this
just have to go through them all to find the one that fits what tvs one personally had growing up
aside from just "increase bloom and downscale + scanlines"
there are a multitude of filter attempts, for sure
since not all tvs were the same
i use the CRT-Simple in bsnes
pretty much creates what i had growing up minus the slight curvature distortion
i was trying a PS1 CRT filter the other day and it was kinda funny, didn't really do the whole increase bloom thing, so I had to manually adjust it so it wasn't overly dark
oh apparently the nes classic and the switch online virt console stuff have CRT filter options
wonder how those look
i love having af ew drinks, booting up on marios and realize i'm so not as efficient as i was ones
i die way more times now
lol
ngl ol' mario doesn't really hold up imo
I think ya have to go to that rather than the Bros
the Bros are kinda rough these days, lol
honestly feel that way about a lot of classic games, mechanics-wise. if it's a series there's almost always a game a little further along that does itbetter
and a lot of the time reboots do so much nice QOL
for sure
I think for me it was more the aesthetics, lol
like i'd love to have a proper remaster of OOT
though link to the past is still better than link between worlds imo, even tho it's more of a soft remake
or mario64 but without that sepcific controller the mechanics are not quite right
I'd probably enjoy SMW more than original original SMB
but as you can see that image above si so damn pretty
i'm just not sure where to get the acrylic lens that needs to be put ontop of the lcd screen to make it perfect
i need to dig up a PS2 crt filter, the hardcoded ones are...Oof
why is this hardcoded 💀
i'd like a Mega Man Legends remake/remaster more than Ocarina of Time personally 🤐
...i should try making that look sharper via an emulator tbh
battle network remake/reboot/port when
def. expecting them to announce a collection of those at some point tbh
would love it on switch
such good games
they'd probably capitalize on it and release them in packs or some shit tho
along with the cybeast sequel type things
i could see them bundling the first few but later entries seeing a separate collection, particularly the star force thing or whathaveya
Me
But not addicted to alcohol
So...
Not me
I just confused TF outta myself
yea its one of those things hwere, just put down the damn drink but one can get to the point to hwere the body starts freakout out if not having any, seen it enough times across the years in customer service
what
i watched people degrade and die back when iw as doing customer service
no way i do that too
Ew gross
i only do it on weekends
Oh good
I'm not a pig
pog
It's ok, I'm still addicted to Mount and Blade 💀
I'm also addicted to air. I cannot stop inhaling it omg
frick i'm inhaling right now
NO STOP
don't inhale too much you might blow up
guys how do i get rid of this air
put your head in water
ok what's step 2
grow some gills
too late
i did it
Sward
Why did the ooo disappear?
ooo

It sounds so fuunnnn
Become a crackhead and get superpowers
That's what I'm saying yo
I'll have cool abilities such as: yelling at the air, sleeping on the ground, fighting invisible ninjas... And so much more!
I hate how they nerfed hulk
they nerfed most of the MCU because the comic marvel are just so insanely powerful
lol
I want the 2008 hulk back
B r o w n .
what i want is daisy/coulson/may in the MCU
rumors is that fitzsimmons is coming ot the MCU proper so there is hope
Marvel is way overrated imo
we're long overdue for a red hulk
sometimes when you say this stuff i have no idea if you’re kidding
Hahaha

Tacos be Tacos. selectively forgetting they weren't just warned for infamous blue moly. 
don't think i've ever had a taco
whaaaa?
you haven't Stef?
Excuse me Stef
not that popular here in the UK
Me too
Address please
Hex never had a burrito till I met him
Otw
Y'all are crazyheads
that. is. in.f'n.sane.
had something similar to a burrito in the form of a wrap i suppose
👗
Well not that popular in my country
Your country has failed you
wraps are more common here
-_-
now i want a burrito
Nailed it
Duuuudee I had a carnitas burrito the other day ohmyheavens it was so good
a burrito does look good
oh. it. IS. good. nom nom nom nom!
bbq pulled pork sounds like a good filling for one
Y'all never had shawarma
Carnitas is basically fried pulled pork and it is heavenly
I'm checking out north korean yahoo
You're making me hungry with all this food talk
I just ate dinner and now I'm hungry for some Mexican food
Man these north korean sites are interesting
They be making new terms lol
So apparently they call kim il sung and kim jong il great sages
Did i kill the chat?
yes u killed chat
Ohmygod I am so bored
The fuck did i find?
I'm debating if I wanna play any games yet
Some north korean cartoons
Superfire you should play halo
I don't own Halo
Yw
Well if you ever decide to get Halo I 100% recommend it. They are amazeballs
Man they have the supreme leaders activity page
Are you hacking into the mainframe
I'm on tails too so they can't find me
Tails?
If the Master Collection goes on sale, I'll look into it
Sometimes it goes half off 👌🏻👌🏻
Every page has the supreme leaders activities
I saw your Shawarma comment earlier job
Absolutely love the stuff
❤️
Used to eat it a lot in the philippines
Seems to be something you can get from eastren europe west to asia. Though stateside, man its hit or miss
Local Shawarma
Mfs have like 50 golden medals
Leabonese greek restraunt
Price?
Not to bad, 6 dollars for a average plate with tea
Here thats about the cost of a burger
Although the pricier fair is like 13.
Nothing extreme
so glad lunch break is coming up soon 😄
I've scrolled through 7 pages of the north korean sports page and everything is a win
What i miss is lunch on Oahu.
Hahaha
Go down to the little sushi joint in the back quarter of the main stretch
Two rolls, 5 bucks
LOT of food
Not here, average sushi roll that size is 10
And a drink 0.70$
haha, yeah, different price ranges.
i could eat a Sausage egg muffin right now from Maccies
Is that local currency or usd ?
Local currency converted to usd
Ok
Yeah, reminds me of philippines. I could get a egg, bowl of rice, coffee, pancit bread for 58 pesos
so maybe.. 60 cents usd
wow
Thats why people retire there
that would be like 40p for us
In my country you could get a wine bottle for like 0.60$
You can live for well lets see, 120 for rent, 30 for electricity and internet, water is hit or miss maybe 10 bucks, food 100 per month to eat well.
So 270 a month
So a average retired american can live off social secuirty
if you actually have money, say 50k saves, youd set
Although, a lot of retired americans build farms or local businesses.
How does a jagermeister cost for yall?
hrmmm
Thats hit or mess, 4 dollar big bottle
beers maybe 7 for a good 6 packs
9 for really good
Of course bad beer is even cheaper
The fuck , 4$!?
Well thats like a half gallon
Bruh it costs 16$
hehe, local brew
not imported
We have a huge microbrew community in southern oregon
Ah
Ask bee
Oregon loves its local booze
Now imported, 750ml, maybe 19?
About the same as there.
A beer here costs like 0.70$
About the same
hehe
Its funny
Our prices are so different
yet some things are about the same
Priorities i suppose and local supplies
important difference
The national value got fucked ;_;
Le spring runoff has arrived 😌
Man, that's way too much spring
You should limit the amount of spring you collect so it doesn't runoff

My struggles lately
Oof
That's a drop of superglue I've been working at gently and slowly for a week
Next to the orange thingy?
I made a serious lapse in judgment at 3AM trying to put this together
Yeah, bottom right corner
That's the button contact strip
Man that looks like a xbox and a ps controller at the same time
The issue is that the mid ribbon normally clips to the faceplate with the original ribbon, but hooking it up to the touchpad button requires soldering it to the board... but it only has a safe solder spot on that one side
So you've done goofed yourself
A tad
Did you fucken burn a hole through it?
They're taking pity on me and sent a replacement ribbon, lol
No, it was stuck to the board by the aforementioned superglue
Ah
story of my life
never try to work with electronics when late & likely tired 💀
Heh
or right after a shot of caffeine
It's safer than working during the day when little fingers tend to suddenly appear
true enough, lol
He understands hot tools, but it doesn't stop him from poking circuit boards or running away with my spudgers to use on lego
It's a pretty slick kit, though.
Feels like good quality, and saves money with DiY and reusing an OEM controller's mobo
speaking of electronics, i'm researching system-wide CRT filters for the heck of it, and in an old thread someone recommended this thing, lmao:
http://arcadeforge.net/SLG3000/Scanline-Generator-SLG3000-v2::12.html?language=en
I like how the chat died once i was talking about the north korean websites
What's with them back buttons?
"elite" controller
Heh
Can rebind any face buttons except share/menu
Huhu
Hoho
But LR3 require soldering and Touch Button requires the thing I'm struggling with
The LR3 but was easy
Huh, how do those switches on the back work?
Not the buttons, mind
They shorten the trigger range of motion
Aah
I'm gonna go commit a temporary void trip
I like the thought these folks put nto the kit
The soldering bits are completely optional
And it has a full color english manual
How rare is this sort of thing these days
Anyway, yeah. Elite controller upgrade for $40. Definitely enough discount to be worth some frustration.
Besides it'll mean more when it's done.
And it's prime for further shenanigans using a mouse, extra buttons, and micro breadboards
Tons of internal space and it already had buttons conveniently good to go
this is pretty interesting:
https://piratehearts.itch.io/supercrt
the source is available, so it makes me wonder how difficult it would be to fork into a full-screen version 
hopefully my items get delivered today and not become 'undeliverable' again
Fedex?
from Amazon, i'm guessing it was the glass bottles of cola that likely had smashed
Fedex is the king of ding dong ditch
they didn't say why it was undeliverable
but it wouldn't surprise when you see these drivers tossing parcels about like it's a rugby ball
and in the comments someone posted a picture of their bottles in bits
doesn't help that they're rushed af by their bosses
well no
hate that bosses expect speed and quality, smh
especially now as more and more people order online
There's an Amazon employee in the Oddworld Discord, god damn that dude fucking hates his job
makes you wanna punch'em hard a couple times and say, "See, a couple good hard punches are better than a few quick weak jabs ya jerk"
heard too many times how shit it is to work for them
at least here they have to by law give you a break
it's sad hearing how folks became smokers just to get a 15 min break
Get one of those fake gummy cigarettes
When our chain was bought out that was a huge surprise to the dumb person who was the regional overseer. I set up the break schedule for the day and she got all pissed off and I was like it is the law.
So they forced everyone to either sign away their 30min lunch or clock out
wow disgraceful
@formal wasp less of that, thank you
ok, so there's pain in the back left side of my tongue, that becomes extremely painful when I move my tongues to the right side of my mouth. How do I make this stop?
talk to a doctor, not a gaming community probably
that's not an option
talk to someone with medical expertise
not an option
Keep it on the left side
Cut your tongue off
Ice it
Or that
y'know what
if something is extremely painful seek out medical attention
you said extremely painful here sorry
DamnB
I though #off-topic-bond-james-bond was a good place to post links? also I read the rules and there wasn't anything against link other than clickbate and other discords, also I got a message saying that was my second violation when I only ever did one thing? if it was against the rules ill stop but i just wasn't exactly sure what I did.
That's a weird request but I would like someone to explain me a thing about an english word. So, I discovered this word "iffy" yesterday but I'm not sure when to use it. When can I use it? (if you have some examples, that would be great!)
Iffy is like when something is not right
Like if I put something together and it's not built right it could be iffy
Kinda
It's hard to explaing
Explain*
Like: "I went into that old house. something was iffy..."?
Yes exactly
It's only for situation or it's for anything?
Like if you walk into a run down house that has boards hanging from the ceiling that would be iffy
Are you familiar with the term sketchy?
Not at all, I've never seen this word before
Ah okay. Sketchy is kinda the same thing, can mean an uncomfortable situation if that makes sense
Do you have an example?
If you walk into a torn down house it can be iffy or sketchy
So iffy can also mean that something is uncomfortable? More a situation than a object, it doesn't work with: "this sofa is iffy"?
Pleasing Eve time to all of the hwonderful peeps of the interweb online-ness. How goes it?
Yes exactly.
And sketchy would kinda be a more intense version of that. Something like if you're walking down the street and someone asks you to get in their white van, that would be sketchy.
wall of text with link to fitnessgrampacertest was your second yesterday. you can meme #memes🤡 where that type of post would belong, once you reach Familiar (Level 5) role. See #roles-information. You can check your .xp in #bot-spam.
sooo...i fell a little iffy...
Sorry but I have an other question about these. So, "sketchy" is the stronger version of "iffy" but are "weird", "strange" and "funny" the same things? I believe these three mean that something is not right. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
sketchy is more like, fishy...
like something doesn't smell right...
like someone's up to no bueno...
Weird, strange, and funny will mean different things in different contexts, but can mean similar things in a certain context, e.g.
"They were acting strange"
could also be, "They were acting weird" or "They were acting funny"
However, funny is typically more distinct from weird or strange, as it relates to humor or things being amusing.
New royal blood is so close now. Less than 24 hours!
I talk about it way too much lol
But I'm so hyped
iffy is more like "questionable." sketchy is a bit is more like "sus" lol
why are these words so hard to explain, Leon????
jeez!
Iffy and sketchy are similar, but I'd say sketchy has a more negative meaning compared to iffy, which is more uncertain/ambiguous, leaning neither negative nor positive, e.g.
"The schedule details were rather iffy"
iffy and sketchy feel different but i'm having a hard time explaining.
exactly! what Leon said.
The guy on the corner selling watches from his coat is sketchy
iffy no negative connotation. it's like, i can't decide if to do this, or if to do that, so i feel iffy.
sketchy, is when someone's up to no good, acting sketchy for instance.
The alley with unusual sounds coming from it was super sketchy
The wheel on my bike wobbling. Is iffy
But it can have negative connotations depending on context
For sure!
The guy randomly offering to fix it is sketchy
Iffy is like the non humourous version of funny
English is so difficult cause so much of it depends on context
Like, i have a funny stomach
you have a funny stomach???? whaaaa?
Iffy can be like funny, when funny is used like strange/weird
you're all a bit iffy, especially that Redhot one
is it funny feeling? or funny looking? the stomach i mean
Ay up me duck
Yes
lol facts!
Today was a bit iffy
Funny means way too much lol
really? iffy can be funny? i've never used it that way lol
really does
You can say that again
Iffy not in the sense of humorous, but in the sense of strange/weird
because for some silly reason we sometimes use funny to mean strange/weird
man if only there was real funny milk, makin' u laugh
love that scene
depends if they're laughing at you or with you
but then your nose would become a milk hose
yuck milk never tastes funny to me tbh lol
any milk tasting weird is just gross
unfunny
couldn't disagree with you there
imagine if drinking bad milk felt like hitting your "funny" bone
Thanks everybody! I think I understand it now! 😄
Happy to help!
yay! 
i love language
yo amo las lenguas 
Ugh I still wanna learn Russian so bad
I'm learning Russian, and it's quite heard
It is!! I have a really hard time with the alphabet
what's your native tongue, Bill Brooks?
Did I ever say about the mandarin teacher at my school
nooo
She wasn't fluent in anything
ha!
Like, she'd been away from China long enough to be really rusty with it, but she was bad at English too
Idk how that works but yeah
French
oooh funnn. i love French more since i visited France.
Omg I can't wait to work on the plane tonight
love a good French female accent
omg i've totally met ppl like that. i find it a bit...funny.
I feel attacked
Many teachers (in middle school and high school) are really bad and don't have any accent (the English teacher I got at least)
Ghost. it's okay. you're helping the economy.
What kind of accent should an English teacher have?
English is such a fucky language
all languages are fucky lol
Actually you could say it's "iffy"
English is possibly the most "live" living language
def iffy, i concur, Bee
a French one. It was like a butcher doing his job with a barby knife
in England there's probably a different accent every 15 - 20 miles, maybe less
This is probably the most cliche thing to ponder, but what language does someone think in if that happens?
It was absolutely awful
right? i do wonder...
I would prefer a Bristish accent
@grand marsh since French is your native language, do you think in French?
i normally think in English. dream in English. but when i switch to Spanish, i do think in Spanish.
it's like a switch that sometimes my brain loses track of. and funny things occur when the brain derps.
Sometimes, but right know I'm thinking in English.
Huh that's cool
the brain just switches
That's so trippy!
When I'm writing in English, I'm thinking in English (most of the time) but I also think in English in my everyday life
especially when the brain derps and assumes it's talking in a language it's not.
My friend has a mental illness that causes him to think in basque and he has to translate thoughts in his head to English before he can speak
So he speaks English natively, but can't think in english
you for realz, Bee?
Yep!
was he born that way?
fascinating in a way
or after head trauma?
Sometimes, I have a word in English but my brain is not capable of reminding it in French
omg!!! same!!! it gets stuck lmao
i'm so happy you said it
Don't think so. He has pretty severe schizophrenia
i wonder if people born deaf have a inner voice
cuz it's frustrating as fudge when it happens
wow
great question and the answer is, likely not
Does he speak basque ?
I guess
I'd rather a teacher not have an accent with very specific inflections and terms 
My bad, that's a stupid question XD
the reason why i assume that Stef is because of a podcast i listened to called Words by Radiolab, which i highly recommend btw
they discuss what the brain is like when language isn't even there, what goes on in someone's brain. it's a really fascinating topic. amazing interviews too.
ah interesting
I'll take a look at it
Oh ok
here's the link: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/91725-words
Maybe he doesn't have a sufficient level in English?
Thanks!
WOOOHOOO AIRPLANE TIME
fly safe!

hope it doesn't start flapping its wings like that one, could be in for a bumpy ride
lol
Imagine being at the end of the plane. It moves so much (the gif)
Bumping your head during the whole fly
don't think you'd last the flight tbh
The movie "boston accent" is native to a specific neighborhood, lol
Beatles in shambles 💀
Miiiiilk! you went today?
Yuppers! The snow is FINALLY gone on that trail 👍 👍 👍
Water is definitely ripping down now, nothing beats spring time for waterfalls
When I think of milk, I'm reminded of that Canadian supply management Nine Inch Nails song, Closer.
"Milk me, only within reason. Milk me, supply and demand."
Imma pretend I know what that means 😎
Holy fuck hot salsa in a cut does not feel good
huh, TIL there's a decentralized version of Reddit, and no, not some grifter version for folks banned from there, lol
kinda cool tbh, even seems to run smoother for me
i found a twitter-like alternative that lets you react to posts like we do here on discord, lmao
It seems like it may be more popular in Japan going by the example shots
ah...Yeah, even the page to join an instance is in Japanese
how did u even manage to get hot salsa in a cut?
I was holding the burrito and it dropped out onto my thumb
oh, that's fair
i wonder if it might help it heal faster
So you got a burrito after the earlier conversation
nice
oh no... i just watched a political video on YouTube... I fear my recommended section may suffer from this
@lucid granite's recommended destroyed with FACTS and LOGIC!!!! (part 3)
Aw hekk, here we go again
oof
i destroyed my recommendations with games
there's no recovering it
it's all games
i would never want to recover from the games
and retro tech, but mainly games
one of the servers I'm in has the icon as YGOPRO and it cracks me up a little. i don't even really know why I'm still in it since i don't play what it's related to really
i like to imagine it's a server telling folks it's cool to not go pro
enjoy the torrent of prager ads
aaaah
Astronomy pic of the day
Explanation: Our fair planet sports a curved, sunlit crescent against the black backdrop of space in this stunning photograph. From the unfamiliar perspective, the Earth is small and, like a telescopic image of a distant planet, the entire horizon is completely within the field of view. Enjoyed by crews on board the International Space Station, only much closer views of the planet are possible from low Earth orbit. Orbiting the planet once every 90 minutes, a spectacle of clouds, oceans, and continents scrolls beneath them with the partial arc of the planet's edge in the distance. But this digitally restored image presents a view so far only achieved by 24 humans, Apollo astronauts who traveled to the Moon and back again between 1968 and 1972. The original photograph, AS17-152-23420, was taken by the homeward bound crew of Apollo 17, on December 17, 1972. For now it's the last picture of Earth from this planetary perspective taken by human hands.
wtf, that's beyond abuse, they tried to murder the poor fellow!
i'm guessing the abusers may never have been caught too? 😔
Damn thats just terrible
wow, Moon. that's so sad.
i'm glad he's doing better now. 
this is...weird. I'm browsing about checking out Element (another chat app), and you can just...See lists of banned folks from some of the chatrooms
Which also means you can see some of the fun reasons
Lmao wtf
E.g.
Reason: you've been warned too many times and idk how you're still here
I should clarify that you can only see them if you dig into the settings stuff, but it's still just...Surprising
i mean, it doesn't take that many clicks to find, lol
Why do I spend literally every waking hour that I'm not working, eating or hiking looking/planning for new hikes
Why am I like this

same reason some of us look for new games despite a backlog...None of us knows wtf to do with ourselves, lmao
Well that and we all have a interface with the world that works well
Hiking is deeply connective
i mean hey it could be worse, you could be spending those other hours thinking about doing more work
I have a old friend who hiked since he was 8, still does at 84
Turned into a life changing activitiy once he started to produce hiking guide books
Mite be something you could look into doing Milk
hiking guide book:
-don't eat unfamiliar plants
-stay hydrated
-keep a physical map with you
-know how to read a map
Ummm cause hiking is fucking awesome?!?
I mean, yeah absolutely
But I have such a massive backlog now lol
Actually lemme count all the hikes I wanna do one sec
48
T h a t s a l o t
Not enough 😤
tbh I don't think i know what hiking is
my crude thonk of it is just sorta walking nature trails??
I mean pretty much yeah
Hiking is sorta a spectrum
It can be anything from flat evenly graded trails to increasingly steep rocky routes up mountain spines
With the latter being the transition into scrambling, which is kinda hiking+hands then beyond that you enter rock climbing
But generally the common theme is yeah, you're in nature. Or at least not walking around an urban concrete hell
Yeah I'm just not much of a city person tbh
Cities make me feel claustrophobic in a way
I'm in a more rural area but i can get that
cities and flatlands are fuckin' weird to me
Yeah whenever I visit the prairies I get hit with mega environmental depression
It's so f l a t
I need mountains to distract me from the utter pain and misery that is life
😌
i just need some sort of bumps or breaks in the void, forests, hills, something
Yeah that'll do
it's like if you were to look into the night sky and see no stars 😬
Pretty much lul
Once the pandemic is over I really wanna visit the Appalachians for hiking and sight seeing
I'm so used to the rockies so I want to see something different
Also to see what my mountains will look like in a few hundred million years time 💀
which where are those again?
Wait maybe my dumb doo doo brain isn't working but for some reason I don't understand your question

nah I'm phrasing the question where are the Appalachians in a silly way is all
Ah I see
😳
But yeah it's pretty wild to think that the apps used to be as tall and rugged as the Rockies and Himalayas way back in the day
But erosion had to come in and crash the party smh

u know if u squish the plates together again u might undo that
just uhh rub those giant rocky plates together

Oh shit it's almost 1am
And I gotta be up in 6 hours
Aight time to commit not conscious
😴

Time to make a new Zealand Spotify
So I'm thinking of getting a capture card to stream console games, anyone used one before or no?
Doesn't matter whether internal/external?
If external, I have an Elgato that's pretty easy to use
Probably external would be easier. My of already gets toasty. Don't want to clog it with internal cards
So are capture cards the I ky way to use a pc to stream console stuff?
Unless the consoles have built-in support for it, which is only PS4/Xbox One onwards, p. much so far as I'm aware
At the very least it's probably the most straightforward way, since other ways might involve like homebrew & some weird stuff
(but i'm not aware of any homebrew apps that enable any sort of alternative recording/streaming)
Ah alright. But yeah I planned on getting a ps4 and streaming god of war and a few other games I've never played
When we get out extra taxes back and college refund
I have a 205 credit at a store like gamestop
Crappy thing is though that a used ps4 pro is 379. New is like 299.
bleh
Yeah if you're just wanting to stream PS4 stuff, it has built-in support for it ya could use & save some money
I think the only reason you might want a capture card regardless would be to store a recording on PC of the stream, and to try subverting some stream-blocks some games use for certain cutscenes
Ah, so like a ps4 can stream right to twitch?
Yep!
Nifty
The only caveats are like mentioned, but I don't think they're dealbreakers for many folks
I assume I just have to basically log in and use my stream key
I believe so yeah
I haven't messed with it in forever, but can't imagine it's changed too much
Oh, yeah, we might be heading into that weird transitional phase I guess
I've been putting off thinking about next gen so much due to unavailability it hadn't hit me yet that they're gonna gradually trim down stock of the old hardware
Huh I guess I can buy direct from sony
Welo when I get my refund I will be doing that
Save like 200 by doing so
North Koreans actually have really well animated 3d series
Kim likes his cartoons
@safe path other benefit for using a capture card is you can offload the work of streaming to a PC rather than having the PS4 do both. Will probably get a better quality stream as well as better framerates while playing
What is this, a pokemon?
Peacocking PRO
Doesn't that mean it is super saiyen (sp?) now?

If you ever see a scene like this on a tv show
It's a crock of shit
Data centres are hot, noisy, and the air is dry
I feel like a piece of beef jerky
Looks like a goldcrest
It also reminds me of Mrs Gasket in Robots (the movie)
It's apparently a Ruby Crowned Kinglet
Most depictions of jobs on tv are garbage
Ok, kung Fury is a straight up farce, so no way am I complaining there
i literally just watched this episode of Mr Robot last night
@night bobcat the radiation is moving forward
Watch out Gleam!

That sounds wonderful
Too late I saw that
i still need to play it again so i can giggle at the rad levels 
hmm i haven't but im always logged in

coffee is gud
i think tea makes me more tired instead of more awake
never found any interest in those games
yeah, ones without caffeine
He had a drinking problem zug

they've basically reinvented
what was it called
Lite-Brite is a toy that was originally marketed in 1967. It consists of a light box with small colored plastic pegs that fit into a panel and illuminate to create a lit picture, by either using one of the included templates or creating a "freeform" image on a blank sheet of black paper. There are eight peg colors: red, blue, orange, white (clea...
