The morons of the world will make me into a godrotten eugenicist yet, I fear

Garden birthday parties in mid May are weird. Barely warm enough to be outside during the day but it gets cold very fast. I had to bail out at 21:00 because I was freezing. I even had two pairs of socks on for the extra insulation for the feet and yet they hurt from the cold. To be fair: I was there for 6 hours (day temperature 15°C, current 8°C at 22:00).

So I've just suffered the epiphany that, in "The Prisoner," Number Six drives a Lotus Seven :-/

@thelastgherkin A friend of mine is a teacher at a school. She is very much annoyed of the originality and repetitiveness to the point that she is actively avoiding these digits and trying hard not to sigh in exasperation (especially in light of the poor performance of her pupils). She told me once that any time it happens the children of one class practically flip out. Not even Pavlov could predict this kind of reflex.

@adiwan It gives me yet another reason to be pleased that I'm not another three inches taller

The animated Stranger Things series is awfully flat. The writing is annoyingly referential and uninspired, and the knowledge that it doesn't fit into the main series makes it disappointing at best. I don't mind the animation style. The characters act also very out of place. It's an odd piece that is hard to take it as a stand-alone thing.

I also stuck my hand into a ceiling fan running on high but that's entirely unrelated

@scribus I walked multiple times into the low-hanging ceiling lamp from the previous owner in my current home. I cannot fathom having anything than low profile ceiling lamps. A ceiling fan is for me a death sentence that would lead to my decapitation or to severe brain damage.

I'm shocked that those cash registers run on Windows and get a horrible touch UI slapped onto them. I feel pity that the cashier's most crucial tool is stuck in the past. The UI has a block of function keys that are never changing and have the flair of a classic 80's cash register with hardware keys. The touch screen and PC can offer a so much better experience with context/state sensitive controls.

I'm going to do IT support for the cash register system of a drug store for the next three months. Not the work I'm hired for but it's a customer retention opportunity for my company. I will process the incoming tickets and restart the cash register PCs for most of the time. Of course there are various problems but it boils down to restarting everything as the first problem fixing step. Handheld barcode scanner isn't scanning: restart the PC. The monitor isn't displaying: restart the PC.

I wonder if fighting in the Grid counts as having exercised when you go back to meatspace?

If I had my druthers, I would TRON in to my computer and give Windows the MCP treatment, only to reinstall the next day and do it all again

that Arthur meme—“You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?”—has a glaring, how-did-nobody-notice-this animation error when the camera cuts wide; Buster goes from sitting at his computer to sitting next to his suddenly very long desk with his computer nowhere near him. It has bugged me every single time I’ve seen it for years.

yeah well you might have a celebrity or football player in your town but do you have the former lieutenant governor of Virginia who shot his wife and then himself???? I didn’t think so

Watched "Hoppers". A criminally under-advertised film. It's good but it lays a little bit heavy on the preachy side but it's fine. Fun movie. If "Turning Red" is your jam it'll probably too.

@adiwan All I saw for advertising on that one was one (frankly creepy looking) poster with no exposition, and then an Honest Trailers short on YouTube that actually made it look pretty enjoyable
-
@scribus I watched the trailer afterwards on Youtube and it was quite the opposite reaction. I was more leaning towards that the trailer was doing a misfavor to the movie.

Definitely under-advertised; though, I do kind of avoid them by and large

being a Hispanic guy in the south is kinda like being a German guy in the 50s cause I gotta clarify that I didn’t condone what the other ones did a couple of years ago

@zeldatra There was an informal document for that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persilschein People gave other a signature to vouch that they didn't commit any crimes or weren't part of the Nazi regime. It was not perfect but it was a part of building trust in that broken society.

The grass doesn't grow very well. My neighbor has replaced his with artificial plastic grass. I seeded some clovers where the grass refuses to get a hold. I prepared the soil with extra potent "cannabis soil", added some fertilizer, and tried to mix it as well as I could. After spreading the clover seed I watered everything thoroughly. I hope the rain the next days will be enough that I don't have to pay for the water keeping the soil wet.

@adiwan Clover does a pretty decent job of filling in some of the patches in our backyard, should have a good chance to help
-
@scribus Yeah. The soil is pretty compacted due to walking on it and quite clay-y. I spent 10 euro bucks for a bag of this seed. If it won't work due to my own incompetency forgetting to water it in the next weeks it'll be not a huge loss.

Today I planted everything I planned for, 20 gherkin plants and 26 beanstalk plants. I have a few backup plants on my windowsill but they'll go soon to my neighbor. Also I have 8 cayenne chili and two unknown chili plants from the super market. I have also 6 salads but this time I'll be extreme cautious not growing them too old. The carrots I started look so pathetic that I will not continue growing them. However the two dozen radishes I grow look fine and are surviving better this year than the ones I grew last year. I bought seeds for broccoli and kohlrabi and a few other things but I think I'm done. Maybe next year. I maximized the current available space.
