Man poor guy

[serene tulip]

I'm pretty much willing to try anything that looks reasonably like food. worms and large insects/arachnids only if they're completely unrecognizable

[rugged perch]

fried dried meal worms are nice though

alright, now there is another thing
i have to find a tattoo artist who is good about certain style.. does somebody know how to google stuff like these?

i would say to look for tattoo artists in your area/an area you can go to and look at their portfolios

but i never got a tattoo

[serene tulip]

I kinda want to get the solar ash starseed symbol/logo thing https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/solarash-logo-colorbg-4800x2720-197557524.png

i've been following this tattoo place for years but i suspect they're out of my price range: https://www.meatshoptattoo.com/

[vocal yoke]

I want a beksinski painting

Under my ribs

but it's such a sensitive area

[rugged perch]

specifically an artist called Peter Blackhand @mild pelican so maybe you can try to search for his works and ask for recommendations

https://i.imgur.com/VogK42q.png

[serene tulip]

that's certainly.... something...

[rugged perch]

he does stuff like this

[vocal yoke]

I cant find the original painting for this WAAAAAAH

Cause Beksinski has so many crucifixion paintings

[sharp grail]

ive wanted a transistor tattoo since i was 15 but i still havent decided what and also the permanence scares me

i have some ideas tho

[rugged perch]

[serene tulip]

This but under my ribs and smaller

I know the actual painting too

but damn I cant commit to it

[serene tulip]

I found some great tattoos in the style requested but they're definitely not postable to this server

[vocal yoke]

Beksinski is my go to for edgy ass designs that look amazing

[serene tulip]

I have now reached out to a local artist, thanks for the peer pressure >.>

I want to get a riff on this: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/expanse/images/2/24/LW_Polish_Cover.png/revision/latest?cb=20180822171738

[blissful charm]

that's pretty cool

[serene tulip]

Its the polish cover art of Leviathan Wakes, book 1 of the Expanse

apropos of nothing: are folks here on the fediverse? If so, where?

[sharp grail]

that’s beautiful

I’m imagining it in a black outlines and then just the hair in red ink lol

[serene tulip]

I'm loving the thought of the head being just blank white ink, not even with the detail that's suggested in the pic

ok, maybe not

[fast marlin]

I’d love a transistor or hades tattoo tbh

[sharp grail]

ive been thinking about it for a long time

whats been rotating in my head for a while now is something from the pause menu frame

Oooh

[serene tulip]

I have briefly toyed with the idea of doing this for a tattoo https://www.reddit.com/r/transistor/comments/26cgfc/i_blended_the_camerata_and_cloud_bank_logo/

I've also been tempted for the city crest from bastion, but re-done with actual gear teeth and spacing.

Is Hades a colorblind-friendly game?

I have severe colorblindness

[sharp grail]

i think there is a mod specifically for colorblindness on hades nexusmods page but since i am not colorblind i really dont know

[serene tulip]

yeah, my google search seems to come up with it not being that colorblind friendly and fixed by third parties as well

[latent lodge]

I see

That's why I suck at dodging enemies attacks

[serene tulip]

its weird because jen zee's art seems, to me, to have so much contrast to it.

but so much of a game isn't just art

and sometimes I forget that

[rugged perch]

the attacks and effects can blend a lot if you're colourblind

we couldn't do much for Eid this time around, so my mom brought home cupcakes and insisted we each at least eat one right then and there

[muted smelt]

eid mubarak!

looking forward to feast

[fast marlin]

ive never heard of that until now (😔 i went and googled it) but that’s so cool! eid mubarak!

also i may be the most accident prone person just in general

do not let me around knives because i somehow knicked my hands 3 times in one day
you know i was cutting a bagel and kinda cut my thumb and went “oh no j should be cutting this correctly” so i went to do that and i THOUGHT i was but obviously i wasnt bc i cut the tip of my middle finger
put bandaids on it all was well

and then i was packing up boxes and i went to open one with a knife and somehow i sliced like the bottom of my thumb/index finger area

i dont have a funny pun or anything i just??? how did i do that????

[dusty rover]

Anyone in here on Mastodon? I need people to follow

[bronze lintel]

[fast marlin]

Nooo

also the grimace shake at McDonald’s isnt good i got it for the meme but it’s just

[serene tulip]

grimace shake meme is advertising because they know how bad it tastes but couldn't stop the production line

its the only way they could get you to drink it

[bronze lintel]

maybe the purpose of it is to get a grimace in your face!

[mossy trail]

It hurts my ears to wear headphones for too long, not because of sound but they just press my ears physically

[bronze lintel]

question, is yours over-ear or on-ear?

[rugged perch]

both can hurt if worn too long

[mossy trail]

I don't know either of those

What's the difference I looked them up I don't see any

[faint panther]

Lol..

my cat is uh

Free range to say the least

Maybe she was vaccinated before by the previous owner

[faint panther]

Goblin ears huh.

[faint panther]

Headphones or earbuds

on top ear muffs or inside your ear little buds that go into your ears

[mossy trail]

Wish I had long ears

[mossy trail]

I see

Earbuds start hurting even faster

[faint panther]

get thick padding on your headphones then

[mossy trail]

All kinds of headphones of all thickness of padding that I've tried start hurting after a couple hours

[dusty rover]

over ear headphones have larger pads which surround your ear instead of resting on it. as a result, they’re generally a bit more comfortable than on ear headphones

[bitter magnet]

over ear 👑

i start dying if i use in ears for more than 2 hrs

[serene tulip]

I sleep with in-ears in >.>

[rugged perch]

i wish i could

but after a while it becomes uncomfortable, since i lay on my side, so one ear gets painful with the plug in it

[tall owl]

electromagnetic waves frying my brain

[muted smelt]

"Denpa" literally means "electromagnetic wave", and the original sense of denpa-san was of someone who thought they were receiving voices, thoughts, or instructions directly to their mind via electromagnetic radiation.[3] It is often used as a term to describe a subgenre of horror fiction with psychological elements in anime, manga, Japanese visual novels

[bitter magnet]

[serene tulip]

I thought about climate change for a second and got mad. I humbly request something else to think about.

[bitter magnet]

think about the fact that the only reason cars which can run on water are not being developed solely because it would affect the profits of the oil and gas companies

[mossy trail]

I'd say that's still climate change related

[serene tulip]

That's precisely not what I wanted to think about, also "runs on water" is a terrible phrase, water is all but chemically inert.

Are you talking about burning hydrogen? Hydrogen fuel cells? Water wheels?

[mossy trail]

Think about grogu from star wars and how cool he is

[mossy trail]

Hell yeah water wheel cars

[serene tulip]

Every car is a big water tower.

[bitter magnet]

so what they're trying to do is seperate the hydrogen and oxygen from water and then use that hydrogen to produce energy

apparently there has already been prototypes

[mossy trail]

mfw we have dino powered cars

this is as much water as oil is dinosaur

[bitter magnet]

no but the guy who claimed that he made this said that the car is powered by water

there was this whole conspiracy around this

because the guy who made this concept died a very suspicious death

sometime in the 70s iirc

idk if its possible or not but its fun to think about conspiracies

[serene tulip]

Look, every perpetual motion and free energy weirdo has claimed there's been a conspiracy but their designs have literally never borne fruit. Someone saying they have a water powered car is crazy or a sheister. It's so much easier to separate the water someplace other than the car and use atmospheric oxygen or a fuel cell to convert it back

[mossy trail]

actual water powered car is 19th century technology in fact

steam engine go brr

[bitter magnet]

🗿

[serene tulip]

Splitting water requires external energy, it's a remarkably stable molecule.

[bitter magnet]

yes and that is why the idea was shunned

[serene tulip]

If you're putting the water in the car to split it would be more efficient to just use that external energy to drive a motor directly.

I've spent 2.35 terabytes of mobile data this month, truly getting the maximum out of unlimited data https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/827190621218668605/1124447127578349568/Screenshot_2023-06-30-23-38-00-296_com.google.android.youtube.jpg?width=316&height=702

maximum non unlimited data the provider I'm using is offering is 50 gb and it costs 57% cheaper but for 175% the cost I got 4710% more data so it's 2691% more cost efficient than not using unlimited data

btw last time I checked the provider offered 1000 gb of data limit so that's weird

The earth has cycles of defrost and freezing

The military using magic isn’t that far fetched

Militaries probably do

What does that mean

I heard macron was cracking down on social media because of the protests recently too

Turned off the light outside and got scared

Seriously spooky

I NEED IMAGE PERMS

[serene tulip]

in reverse order of pings: Randall Munroe, the writer of the webcomic. The military tried using magic Back in the Day™️ hence why they don't use it now, and "Everyone dies at some point, we just shot him with a gun I don't see why you're mad"

[faint panther]

No like

The average person isn’t doing anything meaningful towards climate change

Maybe plastic pollution

But climate change is mainly speared by private planes, military ventures and global shipping (tankers and big boats)

the average person benefits from these things yes but driving less or getting an EV is incomparable because even if all the cars on earth disappeared it wouldn’t make that significant of a dent to emissions

In the end the answer is always nuclear

[serene tulip]

I'm allowed to be angry at this injustice.

(when your economic system settles externalities by the judiciary, unpunished externalities are injustice)

[faint panther]

Cut military spending and get billionaires on those public planes

that’ll fix a lot of emissions without harming anyone in the process

[serene tulip]

The how isn't the problem

I mean, unless you count "convincing other folks to do it" as part of the how, but then you kinda left that unaddressed

Like Russian then

“Chai ya coffee?”

[faint panther]

This was always the case

It loaded the page up then said “sign in to view tweet”

[hexed hollow]

it wasn't always the case though

[faint panther]

It was though

I remember having that issue six months ago

[hexed hollow]

okay, one data point doesn't make a trend
embeds for twitter were working on discord 6 months ago (although they'd sometimes sporadically not work), and I know for myself I could very easily loook at twitter accounts, tweets etc withoout an account

also please don't ping me unless you really need my attention or want to show me a cool thing

[faint panther]

I was responding to your message so why wouldn’t I use the discord reply feature

And you’re unfortunately incorrect because last week I checked and it did the same thing

So you might’ve been signed in already

Or on PC

[hexed hollow]

you can turn off pings in replies

[faint panther]

because it’s always been like that on mobile

[hexed hollow]

the fact they're on by default is dumb though

[mossy trail]

It's really hard to see replies if the ping is not on on them

If they were off by default I would almost never see if anyone replies to me

There should be an option to turn off all pings in messages that people reply to you with and to turn on all pings in messages that people reply to you with

I am quite befuddled at people who wish not to be pinged in replies, I'm sure to things that a reason of some kind is present however I am not of knowledge what is the exact reason and I am greatly interested in what it is

[hexed hollow]

I don't like being pinged most the time because I have the "oh heck what's gone wrong (for servers I moderate)/who's trying to contact me
I also am terminally online to the point I'll very likely see the reply even when not pinged

seeing the notification popup is kinda like a mini jumpscare

[mossy trail]

I see

I only have this server and another one which is small that I check regularly but if there's a big lot of new messages I won't scroll up that far

So if somebody asks me anything in another server I don't see it without ping ever

[vocal yoke]

I agree

[hexed hollow]

I'm sorry, no. You can use an external image hosting service like imgur or a private discord server and copy and paste the link in the appropriate channel like everyone else
Asking several times will not change this

[faint panther]

thats such an unpleasant solution

oh well

[fathom coral]

twitter used to ask for login in for some tweets some of the time. I would hazard a guess this applied to accounts that restrict view access. now it is all content all the time. even accounts that are essentially marketing feeds can’t be viewed anonymously. apparently it is to reduce webpage scraping. of course the ultimate solution to scraping is to provide reasonably priced api access to tweet data. reasonably price meaning not much more than the servicing cost for api calls. after all tweet data is user data not x-corp’s proprietary and intellectual property.

there are things broken blender can do that intact ones cannot!

like

decorate your wall while you blend stuff

add some spice to the tired same old

I'm about 99% sure guarantee time went out long ago

The insides of it looked pretty old

Very dirty and rusty

very wabisabi

Morello:

• twitter was only login only as of yesterday. Archival sites like wayback cannot work if twitter is restricted. news outlets wouldn't be picking this up as news if the site had been restricted login only all this time, whatever your issue was was isolated
• this server doesnt do image perms. direct image uploads are disabled in all but two channels. I'm sorry you see this as unpleasant but this is what has worked for our server for years.

anyway in more twitter news https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fz-CtCWXoAEM0yk?format=png&name=large

imagine the site known for addictive scrolling being rate limited intentionally, he wants people to sign up for blue so bad and its not working

[serene tulip]

Theory is that it's not so much a sales tactic but because the login-to-see-content thing broke the website and essentially caused it to ddos itself.

[mossy trail]

600 posts is probably like 30 minutes of scrolling

Twitter doesn't allow a lot of text right so I think 3 seconds per post is sufficient if you're not engaging in comments or whatever is in twitter idk I don't use it

[tranquil bay]

choosing to believe this is true bc its hilariously pathetic https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fz-KzxvXgAMeYmB?format=jpg&name=large

it does make his rambling about google scrapping data from twitter make more sense

i mean he wasnt paying rent on twitter offices so this would just track for him

[tranquil bay]

not even that. a lot of people just opened the site and got rate limited immediately, ive seen it from large accounts that follow a lot of people, and it happened to my friend who only follows like 77 accounts lol

for the time being tweetdeck seems fine so im using that, but twitter wont load on the app for me at all

[mossy trail]

"Uh oh looks like you've exceeded your one frame view limit for today"

[fickle sentinel]

How hilariously pathetic that Elongated Muskrat is

Just a poor excuse for a person, businessman, father, everything

[grave sand]

wonder what counts as reading, cause I tried free wheel scrolling through my feed and I am currently on tweets from April 2022 and I'm still getting more tweets

granted I don't following many accounts but it definitely went through more than 600 tweets

[fast marlin]

by verified he measns twitter blue i assume?

[tranquil bay]

yes

[fast marlin]

pay me to use the fundamental feature of my social media

excellent marketing

[faint panther]

Lmao yeah

[fast marlin]

really makes me want to use twitter

[faint panther]

Tesla is mediocre as a car company and Twitter is just

It’s strange because everything about it is worse now but at least you don’t get banned for no reason now

[tranquil bay]

i dont see it last longer than a week (maybe not even longer than a few days as the backlash builds up) but we shall see

[faint panther]

Yeah, the product is YOU the USER

YOU STEAL MY DATA, and make me PAY for it?

[faint panther]

He’s done stuff like this before

We’ll see how he turns if he does or if he doesn’t

[fast marlin]

ive just been spending more time on tumblr tbh

[tranquil bay]

well hes already backpedaled a bit of the rate limits and said 8k/800/400 now

[dry stratus]

dskjhfksjdhkjhdshjkds

gotta say. all this social media tomfoolery gives me an excuse to use discord (and this server) more

i know discord has its issues but at least the issues aren't wilding out like twitter's

[fast marlin]

Yeahh

[bold terrace]

oh so that's why I was able to refresh and see like 3 more posts

[tranquil bay]

i got legacy tweetdeck loaded up on my phone bc my app is unusable and i'll be out at work shortly, and im assuming everyone is hitting rate limits bc this is the most dead my timeline has been on a saturday ever 😭

[sharp grail]

how is this real

[fickle sentinel]

Because the Muskrat is not very intelligent!

[tall owl]

damn i've been rate limited after looking only at a few gay fanarts 😔

[velvet fjord]

supposedly the actual reason is because he refuses to pay for google cloud lmao

[dry stratus]

Is mastodon still worth getting ??

[serene tulip]

no, but the problem is that as long as people asking that question respond to no with not getting mastodon, mastodon will never be worth getting.

social media criticality

but if you want to follow me I'm [e-mail]

I don't really put anything up there

I hate tumblr

I spend all of my time on it

im emotionally attached to my new vintage dress form

her name is myrtle

[gentle badge]

i like the disc golf hole asthetic

not making fun, but that was the first thing that came to mind 😛

[fast marlin]

Lmaoo

[gentle badge]

im so glad you didnt take that the wrong way, it made me laugh to myself about it 😛

[fast marlin]

I wonder how old it is tbh

From the google search i did it seems pretty expensive

Could never sell it though bc it actually is like pretty damn close to my measurements
My shoulders are broader and obviously my waist isnt that small but i can fix that pretty easily with more wire or just fabric over it

[gentle badge]

yeah just hold onto it if you're gunna keep using it

no need to sell if you're using it yaknow

[fast marlin]

Yeah no totally!

[muted smelt]

Didnt know that thing was called dress form! TIL

[fast marlin]

Yup!

I have some others

But theyre only half and dont have stands and dont fit my measurements

[muted smelt]

Do they talk

[fast marlin]

No

Maybe they do but very quietly

[fast marlin]

Speaking of, giving it my waist measurment rn but i ran out of wire 😔😔

I sadly do not have a 20 inch waist but i’m just wrapping my own wire around it to pad it out

[tranquil bay]

for some people it is, and some like it way better than twitter. i personally will never use it bc being in and interacting with other instances relies on the people running those instances not being. well. reddit moderators, i suppose. its not a replacement to twitter and never will be, and frankly was never meant to be

[fast marlin]

Honestly i dont know anything about it

[dry stratus]

It's interesting to see people think of it as a twitter alt; I think of it as just another social media platform

[dry stratus]

It has some techy people on there. I know that much

Technology is definitely interesting but it's not a major reason why I use social media

[tranquil bay]

well some people kept suggesting discord as a twitter alternative when twitter was first turning into a dumpsterfire. discord isnt a social media and not a replacement for social media, its a glorified chat room. and yet..

[fast marlin]

Important question

How do you combat boredom but not in the “i have nothing to do” way but in the “stupid body needs stupid rest but i have adhd and cannot just lie down for extended periods of time” way

Theres things i can do but i am so tired I need to rest but also i cant just lie down cause i am bored and honestly might fall asleep

[muted smelt]

read a book that makes your brain tired

[dry stratus]

I find that listening to videos on certain less simple matters helps?

Eg certain Vox videos, certain Adam Conover vids etc

[fast marlin]

Ooh good idea

I ended up drawing

I found my apple pencil for like an hour this morning and it went back to the void i will never understand this

[vocal yoke]

Im so proud to say that I curated my tik tok algorythm in such a way that it's only french snap videos which are some of the most insane videos ever that truly shine with that urban french chaos

[serene tulip]

Does anyone here tumblr and can perhaps answer a question that is bothering me about the "your tags" page? I can DM

[vocal yoke]

Oh boy Im pretty pissed I saw americans in comments unironically think that it's a crime for women to sunbathe without a top on like in europe

And the worst arguments are
"What about married men or kids"

We all got breastfed as kids...Why do they always try bringing kids into a simple argument, hell shouldnt even be an argument there shouldn't be any shame in this

Okay rant over just pretty amazed at the cognitive dissonance displayed in instagram comments lmao

[tranquil bay]

yeah this country is very prude and sees nudity as inherently sexual and will always pull out the "think of the kids!" line.

like im american and have lived here all my life but i was also born in europe and have visited family there multiple times in my life and saw things on billboards they'd never show here and it's not a big deal. a lot of conservatives view such things as like. a sort of moral corruption i suppose, literally just be a parent and teach your kids about nudity and when it's appropriate lol

[bronze lintel]

and then there's Indonesia, where spongebob was once regarded as satanic

yea... I hope I was joking as well

[muted smelt]

ah yes

some people were saying that about pokemon here

[muted smelt]

did kominfo ban spongebob then

[grave sand]

DnD is satanic in some hyper christian cultures as well

even parts of US

[fast marlin]

any warlock would agree!

[rugged perch]

it's easier to see DnD as satanic though, it has literal demon descriptions in it

but SpongeBob?

[grave sand]

I mean look at him

he looks possessed

[fast marlin]

ive had such an emotionally exhausting (and in general) day tbh

but actually i will FIGHT any morning showerers/bathers bc its so nice to take a nice shower snd then go to bed it iust relaxes me so much

will fight in the morning toop sleepy

[bronze lintel]

think they censor it by now

it's not kominfo tho, it's KPI. Which is another duncehead of an organization.

[bronze lintel]

I'll have you know, I'm a proud member of the haven't-watched-spongebob-in-years committee!

i haven't watched much either

My internet suddenly is very bad

[mild pelican]

something something main characters are representations of seven mortal sins something something

but yeah

well, in the country where anime is almost banned for propaganda of violence and lgbtq+, im not even surprised

[faint panther]

even winnie the pooh is banned from china.

it's insane.

[mild pelican]

at first i was like, why, he doesn't look like him at all

then i looked at photo again.. okay, he does

[faint panther]

yeah he is as american as it gets 🇺🇸

[mossy trail]

Isn't that flag like an alt right symbol or smth idk american culture

[serene tulip]

oh, the one in the PFP, kinda, yah

[faint panther]

just american not anything alt right related.

[serene tulip]

the confederate battle flag does pre-date the alt-right but to even more pathetic losers in the mid 90s who hated the civil rights act and the end of segregation

[faint panther]

thanks for the brief history lesson but I don't care maam.

I think it's still cool 🤷‍♂️

[serene tulip]

Why?

[faint panther]

because it's a breath of fresh air for the hero.

[serene tulip]

How?

[faint panther]

it's a different concept I haven't witnessed before in media.

[serene tulip]

and it doesn't bother you that its... distasteful, for lack of a more politick word?

[faint panther]

dude just 3 days ago everything came with a rainbow flag but it's the confederate flag where you'll draw the line?

let people like whatever they want it's as simple as it gets.

[sharp grail]

you might want to revisit rule 1 in #readme-first again - be accepting and respectful, avoid being inflammatory.

[mossy trail]

I wonder why

[faint panther]

because it's interesting and media doesn't do anything interesting anymore just rehash the same boring tom holands for the last 20 years.

[mossy trail]

America is pretty alt right related

[mild pelican]

heil hydra and all that

[faint panther]

I am accepting and I am respectful as is already.

[serene tulip]

Are you tho?

[faint panther]

pretty weird take.

[mild pelican]

colors of Miles' suit also open some... suggestions

im not taking it seriously

idk about others

[mossy trail]

Omw to make a slav spiderman have the kolovrat(it's a fresh underused look and a cool symbol)

[faint panther]

do it I'm all for it.

[mossy trail]

Clearly, I won't

[serene tulip]

OK, is it an actual marvel character or is it like, a Leeaboo spideysona?

[faint panther]

as far as I know it's a fanart.

[mild pelican]

or maybe soviet engineer Anton Starkov and his autosuit
..or wait, it already exist

[serene tulip]

As someone particularly familiar with the damage the lost cause movement has done to the US I'd be grateful if you changed you pfp and user name, but that's just me, I have no authority here

[mossy trail]

A lot of symbols look cool unfortunately some people that are bad people also thought they looked cool and now those symbols represent their ideology for a couple centuries

[faint panther]

then don't add it to your profile. I am not aware what the confederacy has done to us (I am not from us) and I won't remove the confederate spiderman from my profile.

[sharp grail]

even if its not your intention to be disrespectful - it comes off as such, comparing a flag very much associated with alt-right to the pride flag. so it seems inflammatory to me - refusing to listen to the people you make uncomfortable with such imagery and statements

[mossy trail]

So, we shouldn't use them, even if they look cool

[sharp grail]

especially if you are not american, you should be extra considerate of people who are and know this flag as a hate symbol

[faint panther]

no you refuse to listen, maybe just maybe you should look it up and talk to your therapist about the fact that you get inflammatory and triggered over a profile picture of a fanart.

just a suggestion though.

[serene tulip]

Arguing with mods is generally unwise, as just a "I want to keep talking in this server" move

[mossy trail]

Blud is showing them true colors 💀

[faint panther]

if mods say jump would you ask how high?

[serene tulip]

Alma, do you want me to jump and how high should I?

[sharp grail]

you should be nice regardless of who youre talking to, in any server

just a suggestion though

[faint panther]

I always was kind.

[serene tulip]

Alma, do you want me to jump and how high should I, this is important 😛

(I'll drop the jumping thing now, sorry if it put you in an awkward spot)

I joined because I'm confused about something relating to hades

can I talk about the game in this chat?

[mild pelican]

if i see some dude with white Z all over his pfp and name suggesting some actions with certain spice plant, i'll ignore them. in several minutes they'll absolutely certainly will tell something that will get them banned

[faint panther]

maybe he is a zoro fan.

wish i could see that with the network connection going 200 kb/s

ever since that thing a week ago internet works like scrap

there's not even something pithy written on the obscured parts of the box revealed at the end

its just a box

I want my 14 seconds back

i watched it twice

its great

Yes I love boxes

Also today my internet sometimes is freaking out

Idk why

Refuse to listen to what? All your talking points have been addressed, while you have ignored some arguments presented to you
Also calling someone too sensitive is not a thing that actually does anything or carries any argumental value

Nooo I spilled kvass 😔

Yeah and I cook more and like I used to eat mostly stuff like microwaved sausages macaroni bread with cheese etc not really food food if you know what I mean more like snacks and now I like, make food more

Also I crave sugar and desserts less

I mean all this could be a coincidence but still

[muted smelt]

[mossy trail]

organistation?

acticity

[blissful charm]

i recommend one with a lid but no door. the dome ones are good. cats like lids bc it gives them more privacy. but no door bc doors will trap the litter dust in the box while the cat is using it and can cause respiratory problems

also re: litter, i highly recommend corn-based litter bc it creates a lot less dust and tracks less litter everywhere but some cats don't like the texture so ymmv

Puppy!

[timid warren]

I have a question
Im in a condition where i have a WinRAR file that are 5gb. Obviously i want to delete it but i want to check the file first who knows it might be important, but the error pops up saying that the file is either an unknown format or damaged. Is it okay if i delete it to safe some space?

[mossy trail]

if there's an archive on my pc and I don't know what's in it and it doesn't open I'm deleting it, is there like any additional context though? like did the file just appear one day or what

[timid warren]

Oh no the file dated to last March and it has quite a size for an archive.

OG111141A-ASCR4BF is the name of the file

[frosty crystal]

hello

I just bought wizard of legend bc its on sale

[mild pelican]

i'd rather leave that file alone.. it could be important for data backups or something else.. it may also happen, system will not allow to delete or move it at all

maybe it's not even an archive, WinRAR can recognize some files beside .rar and .zip

[serene tulip]

counterpoint: back up the file to an external drive, see what breaks when you delete it from its current location and unmount the drive

[vocal yoke]

How big would the converse shoe fit on my foot if they recommend getting half a size smaller but I get my usual size instead.

Im genuinely curious cause I want a special one but they aint got a half size for me

[tall owl]

Can be anything. Shoe sizes are random, lots of shoes are usually too small anyway (and narrow kn the toe box, especially converse). Better bigger than smaller I guess, worst case is you‘d need to wear it with thick socks

[muted smelt]

stuff cotton balls in em!

[vocal yoke]

Ah damn it

Looks like Im blind buying these

They got this in 46

And I usually wear 46

Sooooo

At least the returns are free

[tall owl]

turbodorks!!!!

[vocal yoke]

Yes.

I love them

Plus they are on sale

Also I measured my foot it's 28cm length which is 11 inches which technically my foot corresponds to 11 US and therefore that exact size is out of stock and therefore 10 US aka 44 is supossedly the good size

[tall owl]

cm can mean anything, i got columbia boots once and they differed by like 1 cm

[vocal yoke]

Well I guess I can try some on at a random store to get an idea

[serene tulip]

ah, its the monthly noon of the first wednesday of the month blood pressure spike

[mossy trail]

Also is 5gb big for an archive? I've met way bigger file sizes with archives

I have never heard of anyone making broccoli smoothie so I am in a sense(in the sense that everything that we thought was never done before may have been done millions of years ago by faded civilizations or aliens billions of light years away) doing something that was never done before and am an innovator

[sharp grail]

they said it couldnt be done.... broccoli smoothie coming to theaters everywhere

my mom makes smoothies with spinach and kale but yeah i dont think i ever heard of broccoli smoothies. im also not certain on how good itll taste so report back

[mossy trail]

Reporting: tastes very similarly to zucchini smoothie except, while zucchini when blendered has particles the size of a very fine small powder, broccoli has way larger particles about the size of bread crumbs and vary in shape size and colour and usually stick together in flakes so it produces a rougher texture and more pulp to which I personally prefer the absolute creamy homogenousness of zucchini smoothie but some people may enjoy such qualities
It also has less water than zucchini so prior to adding milk it wasn't even particularly liquid and to the taste appeared exactly as boiled broccoli feels in your mouth after you chew it extensively which is quite an interesting sensation

[sharp grail]

zucchini smoothie?? i havent heard of it either

i eat zucchini cakes sometimes but that seems very different

i mostly make banana smoothies with some walnuts bc i like the texture they give

sometimes adding melon or even mango too

[mossy trail]

I eat it every other day, highly recommend, it's very very very tender

I make it with milk, though it's also tender without milk, without milk it tastes a bit like water tho

[sharp grail]

in zucchini cake the taste is not evident at all which i think is why i like it LMAO tastes like a regular cake with chocolate chips. my dad used to bring it to one of his coworkers who hated zucchini without telling him what was in it, you really cant taste it at all

[mossy trail]

Also beforehand I boil zucchini until it becomes a bit transparent so it's even more tender than zucchini usually and usually zucchini is already tender so it's like the culmination of tenderness

[mossy trail]

Yeah zucchini does not have a lot of taste to it ngl

Especially if you boil it, adding water instead of removing it as usually zucchini is cooked

Yeah, I've been embargoing Meta since the "We may or may not have done unethical psychological experiments on our users"

I mean, other folks do to, probably, they just don't get caught and don't have a bajillion market share

[fast marlin]

wait huh

[serene tulip]

basically they did some A/B studies on folks to see how they reacted to "good" or "bad" feeds and it turns out that they did! Quelle Surprise!

They just did it without following any particular rigor or ethical guidelines

and didn't tell anyone they were doing it

among other ethical lapses

yea, as much as I like high frequency monitors, having a TV just lying around gathering dush seems like a waste

So... good news, the TV is up and running. The latency for rhythm games is pretty good. Although because of low refresh rate, I'll still be using my lappy's screen

Bad news is... mom doesn't know where she put the remote

Thankfully when I turned it on, it is on HDMI screen

So I can use it

[muted smelt]

tv remotes have built in stealth technology

[mild pelican]

in similar case it's usually enough to ask mom, if she knows where you put the thing, and the thing just appears where it was supposed to be

but when mom losing something, then probably it's gone for good. vanished from this realm.

Fun fact meat is extremely protein per land inefficient to grow

Except fish

[fast marlin]

what does this sentence even say

[mossy trail]

Like how much land you need to grow the same amount of protein is larger with meat than other things

[mossy trail]

and shrimp

probably because they're small

[mild pelican]

maybe some people should rethink about insectivorousness

[mild pelican]

and because they use zero land to grow

[mossy trail]

they're grown in pools that are made in place of land, not in natural water uhh how's it called concentrations?

[muted smelt]

basically they grow on farms, just like cows

[mossy trail]

I've been to a trout farm it's basically a bunch of pools

[bronze lintel]

Just pools?

No trouts?

I think you got scammed

how do you get the bow

I assume you're talking hades?
You're best off asking that question in either #h1-discussion or #h1-for-new-players

[mossy trail]

[mild pelican]

assuming it was a question for the #off-topic-discussion, i suggest looking for local sport stores if you're interested in professional bows, or buying Nerf bow, if the goal is to get bow for entertainment purposes

back in the day we used to make working ones from flexible sticks and strings. people also used real sticks for arrows, which was not too safe

Bruh I just dreamed of 2 tattoo ideas lmao

[mossy trail]

I'm currently reading about the french railway shenanigans in republican china in yunnan and each article has several dozen references each of which has also several dozen references and so on

also I hate how articles are not free to access

well you know, unless you know where to access or search for where to access for some time

[mossy trail]

[vocal yoke]

i dunnoooo

[fast marlin]

Doesnt sound too bad though

Any meaning?

[vocal yoke]

nah i just think it's sick

i also want a chemical hazard crystal

same purpose as a ring really

[fast marlin]

Somehow ive ended up on tattoo-tube

Not suprising considering the conversations we have here

But it’s mildly fascinating

[vocal yoke]

okay im trying to find slouch socks in my country without resorting to Shein at all

it's hard cause idfk how they are called here

and i want them solely because they would go unbelievably hard with my ricks

[serene tulip]

If you have a character named Cecelia, how would you spell a nickname for her that's just the first syllable? Cec? Cees? Sees?

[bronze lintel]

Cel?

First thing comes to mind is Cil

[serene tulip]

No like, I know a friend named Cecelia who is sometimes called cec(pronounced sees... Ish)

But I'm unsure how best to spell that.

[bronze lintel]

ohhh

I'd go with Cees

Ces is funny tho

[earnest cargo]

Cece

The first syllable, repeated lol

[rugged perch]

kinda depends in what language you read that name also

e.g. if it's C in English which is probably pronounced like S in this case i imagine one set of names, if it's C in Czech for example (which is sth like the zz sound in pizza), i imagine another

Cece and Ceci come to mind

[muted smelt]

C sounds like K

therefore

[zenith olive]

hiii is anyone here knowledgeable in computers

[feral chasm]

No

[zenith olive]

Oh

thanks for being honest tho

i just need help with something

[rugged perch]

what do you need help with? i'm not knowledgeable in computers either but you're more likely to get an answer if you present a more specific question

[zenith olive]

ok so, i have a graphics laptop (specifically an hp zbook 14) that i use for gaming and i was doing something but got bored and closed my computer lid. few hours passed and i decide to continue, open it up and go to turn it on assuming its in sleep mode. it doesnt turn on and wont charge. the light on the power button + caps lock has remained turned on though and it has been like this for three days now

[rugged perch]

how do you know it's not charging? also i suppose you tried pressing the on button for a longer time?

[zenith olive]

I could try that

Another thing to note is that this computer is kinda messed up like it dies an hour after unplugging the charger at full charge

[rugged perch]

has it been plugged in this entire time?

[zenith olive]

was until yesterday, i unplugged the cord to plug in my fan

[mossy trail]

Try taking out the battery and putting it back in idk might help

Also try holding the power button down for like 30 seconds

[zenith olive]

I held the power button down for a minute just now, nothing

[rugged perch]

it didn't stop glowing?

[zenith olive]

Nope

[rugged perch]

peculiar. so can you take out the battery?

[zenith olive]

ill try if i can get the back open

[mossy trail]

Also I advise to clean the fan, not related but still useful maintenance

[zenith olive]

Yeah

[rugged perch]

both the one you unplugged the laptop for and the laptop fan

[zenith olive]

Ill probably have to clean the entire inside its really dusty which is odd

gotta clean that onw too i have time off

[rugged perch]

dust gets everywhere eventually, even in enclosed spaces, unless hermetically closed (which is not the case of the laptop)

[mossy trail]

Yeah they gather dust very well

[zenith olive]

i see,

[rugged perch]

static electricity + dust = BFF

[zenith olive]

this is like my first time ever rrally owning a laptop that was fully my own so its nice to to know these things

[mossy trail]

Unless it's a military waterproof dustproof temperatureproof tankproof laptop

[rugged perch]

well, they did mention the exact brand and model so... no, it isn't

[rugged perch]

lavaproof, nukeproof, foolproof...

[zenith olive]

time to figure out how to remove the battery

[rugged perch]

you might need a screwdriver

[zenith olive]

i think it has locks that lock it into place

[zenith olive]

I got the light to turn off!

lemme try charging it and ill see if it comes on

also yeah the battery locks into place i flipped ot over to clean my keyboard and it just slipped out

its working again i think

yup

my 9 year old laptop lives another day 🙏

thank you guys!
