Yeah, Puerto Rico and DC first.

So Canada can be the 53rd state?

(/s, we shouldn’t be annexing anyone for any reason)

It’s not just the baked products either!

I just bought some lemon pepper seasoning.

Now you’d t think that the top ingredient would be either lemon, pepper, or salt right?

Well uh, no. It’s sugar for some reason.

No wildlife, unless you mean the swarm of spiders that were living in the piles of yard debris in my back yard.

Nearly 100 yard bags later, an enormous pile of branches that’s like 8ft tall and 10ft long, and endless hours (seriously, easily 40 hours this week) and such later, my yard is no longer buried under 5 years of neglect and tree byproducts.

Now to make the raised planter beds, firepit, and outdoor seating I’ve wanted since I’ve moved in but haven’t dont.

Misskey is basically fine, but it’s very oriented to it’s creator’s home country.

If you can use it cool, but if you can’t they’re not going to fix it for you.

Perfectly sane response, IMO.

The other forks you mention are because Firefish’s devleoper decided to destroy his project, and vanish. And, of course, since that’s not enough, he then dumped maintenance on someone who didn’t really want maintenance responsibilities, and they completely killed the project.

So, those two are the “western” forks of Misskey, basically.

Finally found time to take the AR-15 to the range and work with the instructor I’ve been using for the handguns.

Aaaaand while handguns are nice and all, this thing is the most fun I’ve had in a LONG time.

Of course I now have to scramble and decide how much ammo to buy before tariffs screw that up making this super costly (most of the cheap but not shit ammo is from SK, BR, and CZ, and even US-based stuff is made with materials from not-here).

But on the bright side, I finally got myself properly medicated, and holy shit is that fucking amazing. I’ve known I’ve had ADHD my whole life, but due the lovely bonus of also being bipolar and having a really really awful reaction to any sort of stimulant (even something mild like caffiene) it’s always just kinda not been treated and ignored.

Yeah well, current pdoc wrote a script for guanfacine and it’s like my whole brain suddenly just decided to make sense and behave itself. Stopped shit like leg twitches, and biting my nails, and running through crowds dodging people instead of walking a normal pace.

Also started finishing projects, being able to go to the store without a list and not forgetting a bunch of stuff, and generally just being a normal person.

…so I can get all the Pussy in Bio in one place now?

I have an endless amount of respect for ANYONE that’s willing to swallow their pride and do shit like this when it’s in the interests of other people, their country, or whatever.

Takes an actual good human to go ‘fuck it, this guy is a complete piece of shit but I’m going to make nice because it’s what I need to do for others’.

Can’t imagine Musk or Trump or JD doing that, ever.

“I don’t like cold war relics!” declares man currently sucking on Vladimir Putin’s dick.

The WaPo was establishment propaganda even before JeffyB bought them, so really all that’s happening now is that he’s saying the quiet part out loud.

The implication seems like, “we all talk to each other and if you lie to me you lose all of your accounts”.

Well uh, yes, in some cases, that’s exactly the correct interpretation.

A lot of tracker admins DO talk to each other, because this is a fairly small world, and yeah, nobody wants a shithead around so they’ll definitely let other people know who their shitheads are so they can be handled before they become a problem.

Nothing inherently wrong with that, imo.

I’m curious: how are they ending up in Canada?

The article clearly kinda half-speculates that it’s because anyone can walk to a store and buy a gun if they pass the NICS check, which is effectively true, but then… US citizens are smuggling them? Canadian citizens are taking possession as it was a straw purchase? They’re growing wings and migrating north?

Mismatch is trying to kill her brothers, who are tolerating it much like any brother anywhere tolerates their little sister being a pain.

Uh, question: how could a sensor on a wind turbine track submarines?

I’m not entirely sure but aren’t wind turbines generally up in the air, and submarines deep under water?

It’s a slightly more performant GPU with a worse CPU than a Z1. (Zen3 vs Zen4, 680M vs 740M)

But we’re talking very slightly better GPU performance, so calling it essentially equivalent for gaming is probably perfectly reasonable.

Except, of course, you can find the Z1 Ally for $250 at BestBuy damn near any day of the week, soooooo uh, yeah that pricing huh.

I’ve had a very, very American week.

It’s been shockingly cold (15-ish, but in Texas so that’s a life-threatening emergency), but all the money I’ve put into repairs and replacements of house stuff has kept me from completely freezing, just a little frostbitten.

…At least, until tomorrow, when everything should thaw and I find out how many plumbing repairs are going to be required due to burst pipes/broken faucets/etc.

And my LGS got all of my new guns in as a single shipment which they didn’t expect, so that happened a few weeks earlier than expected. Now to spend an infinite amount of money on ammo, accessories, and sundries.

I’ve also got all the chicken coop and planter beds lumber and assorted other hardware sitting in the back yard waiting for a time wherein I won’t freeze to death to build them. Should be big enough for 4 hens, which means I fully expect to be a millionaire by July.

I need to get some potato and carrot and onion seeds (yes I know, potato seeds aren’t really seeds) for the raised beds. I’ve decided I’m going to scale way back and just do some basic root vegetables instead of my more ambition leafy vegetables and fruits and herbs plan, because I just plain don’t think I have room to grow enough of that to matter.

And I have my MSF course scheduled in two weeks, so assuming I don’t completely flop, I’ll be legally allowed to smear my entrails across the highway via an oopsie on a motorcycle.

Oh good, just what I always wanted: some techbros able to SSH into my bed and tell how horrible my sleep is.

Do love the exposed AWS creds though. That’s some premium high-quality software engineering.

No joke.

I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t really play anything anymore because of it.

You go ‘boy I’d like to see what new games are coming soon’ and you immediately land in a cesspool of people throwing a fit that there’s a black guy, or a trans girl, or a white chick that doesn’t make their little peepee hard, as well as any other awful sexist, racist, ableist swill you can possibly imagine all over every inch of anything that remotely looks like gaming media or discussion forums.

I just kind of have quit looking, and just playing old games for the 2nd or 3rd time, despite the fact I would happily have bought anything that seems remotely fun a couple of years ago because I don’t want to subject myself to those morons, end up playing games with them, or like, having anyone confuse me as being one of them as you said.
