My wife has enlisted friends to help me sell her yarn stash if she dies before me. There’s probably 10 large worth of high value dye lots sitting in bins around me. Her work includes a $200/month yarn shop stipend, and has for many years now.

If you want to have a tiny chance to see a perfectly good car get towed for no reason add “I have the part that fell out.”

I feel like I need OregonNukeSailor’s backstory. More for the name than the taxonomic viewpoints.

I really wanted to farm aces in the last patch and this thwarted me at nearly every turn

The van stereo is blaring “She Hates Me” by Puddle of Mudd

Are we coworkers?

I refer to the people here as Motorheads

I heard once that in the early days of printing (and literacy) most of Europe’s reading material was made for or by the church. And one of the things that was very popular at various points in the 16th century were books of hymns, many of which contained old latin hymns turned Christmas carols. It doesn’t explain the lack of New Years songs, but it may be why we continue to have so many Christmas songs compared to every other holiday.

Its bad enough that humans are already stealing all the gator’s aid to fuel spectator sports, don’t juice out the little they still get.

It’s 2 short of “nice”

That explains why they were so nonchalant about about their easy-anticheat escalation breaking fan made VR a few months back.

I always wanted to be a fly on the wall when they named the colony (later state) of Virginia.

“We should name this place after Queen Elizabeth.”
“Excellent idea, Elizabethia it is!”
“No, no. Virginia. 'Cause she’s never… you know. Wink wink, nudge nudge.”

I’ve decided all flash fads on Lemmy are beans. So, like botanists consider tomatoes to be a fruit, I say corn is a bean.

Can I just nap?

Backend provider for Realtors. New listing alerts and updates on properties that potential buyers were tracking.

I stopped hosting my own email servers many years ago, even when I was being paid for it. Any time anyone mentions DKIM or yahoo throttling or anything of that nature I get a thousand yard stare and and start to hyperventilate. I’m sure it easier when you aren’t sending 5 million messages a month, but who needs the headache.

I was asked to evaluate the last version of Gemini for work. I set up the agent, gave it a robust gemini.md file, and asked it about a bug I was seeing. It told me the bug was because I had spelled “Arrange” with 3 Rs. Except:

1. I hadn’t
2. Doing so would not have caused the bug I was seeing
3. 3 consecutive letter R’s didn’t exist anywhere in the code base

Gemini 3 really had no where to go but up.

Guillotines work way better than hanging. And when I’m in charge, the only crime that will get you sent to one is having 3+ commas in your net worth.

I swear we need an Alec signal, like the Bat signal, that we can shine when topics like this come up.

Here is a playlist is all of Technology Connections videos about the format wars. Alec does a great job explaining the history and showing things off.

TL;DW tape length and price are the main reasons. Arguably if you want to hang the win on a single reason, sports is probably the best answer. Betamax wasn’t long enough to tape a full game and Selectavision (which was doomed anyway) couldn’t record at all.

Nice. I assumed the RAM would be deal breaker.

As a Linux user myself I am really grateful for all the work LUG does. And I appreciate that CIG is willing to work with them.
