Yeah, Reddit results on Google seem to include posts pulled from other threads sometimes. Something with Google’s crawler, I’m sure.

There are some odd ones on that page. The chicken one describes the chicken running off the…[Read more]

Never got into hot sauce myself, even though I like spicy food. The sauce always tasted off to me compared to simply cooking the dish with hot peppers. My jambalaya recipe calls for jalapeno peppers but I may opt for something a little stronger as they’re a…[Read more]

Been enjoying it. Don’t know why but it’s hard for me to connect emotionally with other stuff. Can’t even connect to old stuff even if I do enjoy watching it.

Going to plan to watch Code Geass again soon. It’s always a good one, essentially a social commentary…[Read more]

I’d recommend Leap for the VM. While I love Tumbleweed, it is a rolling release so it tends to change more often. That can be a bit of a drawback if you’re not using it regularly as you may need to…[Read more]

A few years back, I dug out about a hundred pounds of ginger roots as they reproduce like crazy and they’re already coming back! Clearly I missed some roots. 😛

They’re actually making some progress on turning thoughts into images and text in the lab. Currently, the image generation is very fuzzy and lacks resolution but should improve as the lookup tables get fleshed out based on brain…[Read more]

First up, we have what was once a chaotic Minecraft server: https://2b2t.place/1million

Don’t download the world: it’s over 15 TB!

And the program that gave birth to Comic Sans is now open source: https://opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/07/16/microsoft-comic-chat-is-now-open-source/

They also used a lot of classical music.

Did they ever do a holiday episode? I honestly can’t remember.

Yeah, the article…[Read more]

Not up to tracking down the original source but the gist of it is that your espresso machines are likely using more pressure than needed, with the rest being wasted

Need some ideas for a new hobby, too. 😛

Ouch. Definitely want to be careful with handling them.

Scientists are still talking about traveling to Titan. Not a bad idea at all but current propulsion technology would make for a long trip.

I love British films and shows and find them of much better quality than the drivel we’ve been churning out since the 70s (granted, some of our older sitcoms are pretty good). The problem? Not even BBC America shows them! Will definitely need to check out BritBox when I can

1. I’m not allowed to play with the cards upside down
2. I’m not allowed to make designs out of everything that’s in play
3. The playmat does not count as a card
4. I’m not allowed to blow everything up by turn four (even if it’s funny as hell)
5. I’m not allowed to balance dice…[Read more]

142. “Calvin-Ball” is not authorized PT.

Nothing wrong with Calvin Ball! It’s good exercise and the rules change constantly!

Lots of good stuff in all three lists! Makes for a fun browse when there’s not much else to do 🙂

Really miss the…[Read more]

And then there’s also Skippy’s List

Yep. Venus flytraps are cool!

Tried growing them at one point and they didn’t survive even though I followed the instructions.…[Read more]

xkcd recently did a piece on Messi as well: https://xkcd.com/3260/

This American Life does sound like a fun listen, will need to give it a whirl 🙂

There’s also the dung beetle!

In some districts, it’s actually illegal to leave your pets’ waste lying around even though the local critters do it all the time. And they don’t want it flushed or in the landfill. So…where do we put it?

Ugh. I have some very old accounts that are simply inaccessible due to the email domains being…[Read more]

Hasn’t been updated in thirteen years, though, but the forums are still pretty active. It’s actually where I’ve gotten ideas for what to watch over the last fifteen years or so

O Brother, Where Art Thou has come up from time to time over here, just haven’t gotten in the mood for it. It always looked a bit silly for me 😛

Been watching TCM a lot more recently and I’ve really…[Read more]

As for storage medium, digital isn’t a good option as not only does it break down faster than analog…[Read more]

However, there is a trade-off:

The flash is not standard QLC. Girard says endurance is lower, at around 0.1 drive writes per day, compared with around 0.5 DWPD for current QLC drives.

Progressing at a fairly good clip, all things considered. 🙂

Some of the UI quirks may be due to how they’re using Qt. Could be worth sending them a feature request 🙂

Yay! Been playing some minesweeper off and on lately myself. Of course, when you get to the end game, it…[Read more]

🙁 Good choice on site. I like to keep my dogs’ ashes in the living room so that they’re always nearby 🙂

We’re getting some rain as expected, finally. Not a whole lot but it is better than nothing.

Got to thinking recently, we need a knowledge…[Read more]

The readme is kind of light on details, though. Definitely needs more fleshing out.

There have been some curation come up on Hacker News but I haven’t been making much note of the threads. There was one project that let you scroll through them like a roll of film 😛

Could be a lot of fun making dishes from a thousand years ago. May need to try some of them!

Still have no intention of getting one but could be a lot of fun!

Yep, we also had Mothers’ Day yesterday. 🙂

Finally getting some rain over here, which is nice. Hopefully it continues to rain off and on for a while. We’ve got several bodies of…[Read more]

I suspect winuser.h needs to go before afxwin.h but I need to take some time to study the logs some more.

Haven’t used either one myself but I do see them recommended in the OSS circles. 🙂

Yep, will make a note of it for if I get over there! 🙂
