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.

@scribus do you know if SKS rifles are OK? I imagine not because of the bayonet, and I know Yugoslav modells aren’t because of the grenade launcher apparatus
-
@awl Grenade launcher model is a very definite no-no, but I'm not finding anything about the bayonet; it's actually looking like a "maybe" that hinges on whether or not the magazine is detachable

Horror of the day: two dozens of flies in the kitchen. Over the night I had my window open in the kitchen to get cool air into the house but that opportunity was taken by those little buggers.

I got myself spiky and hollow cones made out of terracotta with open pores (no glazing) for watering my tomato plants. Due to the open surface of the terracotta it can release water slowly into the soil. In addition to that I put a bottle of water into the opening of the cone upside-down as a bigger water reservoir. This week will be extremely hot and I don't want my plants die due to too much evaporation.

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.

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 4 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 7 days ago from web -

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.

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…
