I used to be mad that HTML would automatically convert two spaces to one, and would literally type “.  ” to make sure my second space stayed. Gave up on that one a while ago, but I will still hit the spacebar twice.

I don’t know... I used to pick up breakfast on the way to work and then go to lunch somewhere nearby, every workday. But when we switched to work-from-home instead, I realized I was saving so much freaking money... ever since going back to the office, I’ve just been bringing microwavable frozen dinners for lunch, and…

Some shaving cream works, some not so well.  I use shampoo for my shaving mirror since it works much better.

The original Mad Max movies were not great film, just somewhat weird, often stupid popcorn movies. I don’t have much nostalgia about them, except maybe Tina Turner as Auntie Entity, and Master Blaster and the “two men enter one man leaves” meme thing. Eh.

Fury Road is a different flavor of weird, also often pretty…

Definitely a cost of living thing.

My XBone controller’s RB button died within the first few weeks. Everything else has been fine.

I pretty much only use it for Art of Rally on the PC, so it hasn’t been a big deal. Kind of torn whether to get another XBox controller or something else though.

Before that I had a Steam controller that lasted fine for years.

At first glance I thought “Guile looks more or less right, but that is not Cammy’s face at all.”

I had to look longer to realize Guile was off. Aside from his (always ridiculous anyway) hair looking more like Frybo from Steven Universe.

I’m convinced that the state government (usually very heavily Republican) hates St. Louis because it leans Democratic, and because it’s where most of the Black people live.

It’s not like St Louis and its dozens of little suburban fiefdoms are entirely a progressive paradise, but goddamn it’s still about 80 years ahead…

As long as the frame rate doesn’t drop to something like 10, or stutter obviously, I don’t ever find myself caring about it.

I also run games at 2560 x 1080. My eyesight kind of sucks anyway so it’s not like higher resolution is going to do anything for me other than make performance worse.

I think it was formerly just illusion and maybe teleportation (or fake teleportation by using illusions?)

I think during the series he levelled up, taught by Sylvie or learning from her example. He seemed to have a “wait, did I really just do that?” look when he caught the falling building.

I never use the messaging stuff. The last thing I want to do is share “private” communication with a social media company.

What I want is kind of the opposite of Threads. Just the feed from accounts that I follow, with no “Suggested For You”, no ads, no highlighted comments, no continuous scroll of accounts that it…

I saw an article similar to this about ten years ago and a lot of things about my life clicked into place. My usual anxiety does tend to get worse in the summer. Restlessness and agitation for sure, like I need to escape whatever situation I’m in. Not violent behavior as such, but a kind of angry frustration that…

Also sounds like it won’t work if you have aphantasia. It’s pretty rare that I picture things in my mind visually.

Diablo II is probably in the top 5 games I’ve spent the most hours in. Pretty sure I’ll be picking this up.

200GB, good grief. That is the size of my entire Steam folder...

Is it just a coincidence that this article comes right after “How To Safely Dispose of Old Gasoline?”

There’s less danger, there’s not no danger.

I’m very happy to be fully vaccinated. I’m also diabetic and my wife is immunocompromised thanks to meds she has to take. Community transmission in my neighborhood is about what it was this time last year. And there are chuckleheads going maskless who haven’t been vaccinated…

I’ve been thinking about either dumping my minifigs in storage or even selling them, instead of acting as dust collectors when I need the shelf space for other things.  But damn if I don’t really want that punk pirate mermaid.

This does have the effect of getting hot water out faster. It also has the side effect of making your cold water tap warm for several seconds when you first turn it on, which may be an issue if you drink tap water.

The main benefit of a recirculation pump is to prevent both the warm and cold water lines from freezing…

When I was a kid, for some reason I always saw the 1970 USPS eagle logo as a silhouette of a guy in a cap. I really can’t see it now, but I do see Lenin on that Bug.
