His take on mid-century Major League Baseball is sort of equal parts adorable and unsettling. Other highlights of the issue: A Houston family is paid $75 to test a fallout shelter for 3 days, canned raw meat, and Chef Boy-R-Dee as mildly exotic party fare.

Also two non-list words and one that wasn’t on the word list.

I have that one now. It’s not as good as the one where #3 is conditioner instead of face.

Doesn’t seem like anyone necessarily asked at all. He just volunteered it. I doubt it’s true, for the record, but it is a very Utah answer.

Counting the service road is kind of cheating. In built up areas in Texas they’re de facto city streets that happen to exactly mirror the freeway. They have intersections, lights, businesses, etc.

Montblanc.

Farting cat finial.

You’re not wrong. Took me a second to realize what they intended it to be.

In the fine tradition of a certain bird poop European brand.

For anyone with a sewer system built for TP, this is an ideal workflow. Poops and poopers are not identical, and bidets are not magical. Trust but verify, friends.

peanut butter

This one absolutely turns on what kind of peanut butter you have. Jif/Skippy etc. shouldn’t go into the fridge. It was engineered, for better or worse, to be shelf stable and turns into silly putty if it’s cold. Most “Real” peanut butter separates like a mofo if it’s in the pantry, requiring frequent stirring, and many recipes will never quite be solid enough to spread well. In the fridge, they are much easier to deal with, though my latchkey Xennial ass still prefers the wondrous combination of peanut-inspired substances and mid-century food science.

I suppose there’s an element of preference as well. If !myinterest@instance exists and is limping along with 80 subscribers and a post once a month, is that less discouraging? Maybe 300 subs and a post every other day is adequate? At the risk of scope creep, maybe the answer lies in more data and options to account for the preferences of those new to the Fediverse. I concede I don’t have answers though, and I’m obviously putting less work into it than you are.

Fight the good fight, friend. I need more posts about old TV shows and niche hobbies, so we just need more decent people, however they arrive. :-)

I totaled it at 200k miles.

I hope the shopping cart that dinged your bumper was okay…

IMHO, the APIpocalypse resulted in too many communities that died on the vine and discouraged their creators and few visitors. Funneling that energy into fewer, more general communities to build up views and conversations strikes me as a a necessary forerunner to a massive “Cambrian Explosion” type of thing. Subreddits, for the most part, naturally evolved because there was already a critical mass of users interested in the topic, not because the sub existed first and attracted the users. What would you think about a different approach to collect various subreddits and file them under healthier lemmy communities that are not one-for-one, but still relevant?

Still Tuesday here, but I’ll jump in. Working on the CAD file for the 3D printed case of my next mechanical keyboard. For this one, I actually designed a super primitive PCB instead of hand-wiring all the keys, and it’s on its way from China. I’ll still need to wire the Raspberry Pi Pico myself, since I wanted to start by dipping my toe in to see if I could route the switches’ matrix and the mounting holes for the diodes I’ll need.

Certainly looks like it came out great. I loved the write-up, too. Extra points for figuring out what you actually needed to make an effective press.

Do you find you are able to emulate much that can make use of the analog sticks? The RG Arc-S and -D have similar internals and a nice screen, but they seem to have been consigned to the discount pile for lack of analog sticks (and maybe being late to the game for RK3566 models). As a Genesis kid, I always liked the Sega controllers of that era.

NGL, a lawnmower deck is a clever platform. I assume this is their trailer.

I’ve never been attacked by one, but I’ve been intimidated by them on several occasions. Canada Goose DGAF.

Thanks. This product category has matured nicely from the days of the GP2X and Pandora.
