Tomato plant count raised from 38 to 41. My mother kept some of the stragglers (3 Black Krim) that didn't grow that well and finally decided to get a grow spurt in the last week. She had a few more (also Black Krim) but I told her to gift them away to some of her work colleagues. I put the new additions in some 5l buckets for the mean time as the planters were way too small. I gonna have to find a solution (and place!) for when they outgrow that.

In case anyone was in the market to buy a Ruger mini-14, be warned they beat themselves up to the point of buffer breakage in 1 000 rounds give or take.

I really vibe with the black + green trim of the Xbox Meta Quest but it’s a 3S with inferior lenses. Blah

HAHAHA. That is what I need right now. Another 3D printer failure. I had a 28 hour print and while I was sleeping it decided to crap out at 80%. The screen went blank, the print head was not moving and embedded in the object, the power supply made a high-pitched noise.
I am so fed up with my army of Ender 3. I just want to have something reliable that is just good. Not excellent. Just good. I just don't have the money to buy a new printer.about 3 days ago from web -
Yesterday I was using single use nitrile gloves to prune my tomato plants because the juices are very smelly and sticky. 30 minutes of use and they were full of water. I love summer.

Set up my new microphone today. Rode NT1 5th Gen, my first XLR (previously I had been using a ten year old Blue Yeti). Haven’t even fully treated the room yet but already I can hear a world of difference.

I could swear on my life 40 was spelled fourty and not forty. I have known English for the majority of my life and for some reason I Mandela-effected myself into believing that it was written with a *u*. It made more sense because of the *u* in fo*u*r. Without the *u* it looks like an adjective to the word "fort", like "Your forty house is well-secured against a horde of zombies."

@awl The way we spell "forty" is stupid. Like it's "Four" and "Fourteen" so it really should be "fourteen"
-
@elli It's really so common and obvious that we could probably stand to officially change it, I mean it's not like Webster's is making the rules, nothing but convention and mental inertia behind it
-
@elli no we don’t let foreigners dictate how we spell words. English is to never change ever.

Bad news: I am out of the project.
Good news: I have more time to prepare my D&D campaign.
Bad news: I have to look for a new project with my manager.
Good news: I am still being paid.about 6 days ago from web -
I only use Uber when I’m out of the country so my Uber Eats emails all list deals in pounds instead of dollars

Last week I was near a comic store and saw that Final Fantasy MTG boosters cost 7€ per pack. WTF! This is the cost of a ESP32 micro controller!

Gorramit I think I'm going to have to get a hold of the lost media Internet to find this old Metallica/Henry Rollins mashup because Google is vibrantly useless:c

Maybe I wasn't very observant in the past decades but I've seen this year a greenfinch for the first time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenfinch and it is visiting my garden often. Usually I get to see bluetits, blackbirds, house sparrows, red robins, the common crows and doves, magpies, sometimes geese on a flyover and swans at the lake, storks on the odd chimney.... What I want to say is: Most of the common birds I haven't seen. On this overview I have barely seen a fifth of birds in Germany https://www.nabu.de/tiere-und-pflanzen/voegel/portraets/

@zeldatra GEX 3D: Enter The Gecko was awesome. I had to guy a 3DFX Voodoo graphics card to get the game to work back in the day. It was the best Mario 64 replacement a PC gamer could have without owning a N64.

It's a shame that plastic explosives aren't called **blastic**.

just voted. Tactically, both of the men I supported are black, which removes the possibility of me having accidentally platformed a guy who did blackface… again…

I don't like what I was seeing the the Naked Gun trailer.

@adiwan I laughed exactly once at the OJ joke in the first trailer but I have been unimpressed otherwise.
-
@zeldatra I got a slight chuckle at max out of this. I feel like the stuff in the trailer was off-putting serious in tone while being off-putting outlandish in the next. I don't remember the originals being like that. Also I don't like that he is so trigger happy for a comedy film. I guess, according to the Youtube comments, it will be a moderate success, as I have seen a ton of positive comments. Cinema is dead, I guess.

Aw man... Rick & Morty... That's not how the Harz mountains look like... To be fair: Places in the show are always f-ed up.
Fun fact: A small village in the Harz mountains is called "Elend" which can be translated to misery.about 14 days ago from web
