@adiwan I'm just gonna pretend that this is why my joints all pop, not because I've been falling apart for 3 decades, but out of courtesy for people I may accidentally sneak up on otherwise

@adiwan dang that's brutal

@adiwan I thought the B-vitamins were plentiful in plants

@adiwan that’s almost as expensive a diet as going vegan. Almost.

@adiwan Oh I'm sure there's more to it than that, what with the fundamental interconnectedness of all things

@adiwan I tried telling them that middle-endian was never going to work out!!

@adiwan I'm almost excited to watch the sequel either fizzle or flop, but not willing to commit in case people's tastes are as bad as I fear

@adiwan And how it looks on my desk http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/876123

@adiwan I've tried messing with a few scammers/spammers in the past, but I seem to be no good at it. They never reply to my responses, I must be too obvious.

Matt adiwan

@adiwan It’s to be expected, honestly. The US outlawed slavery long before most modern American companies got their start, and the ones that do go back that long are from New England which was less reliant on slave labor than other places, I’m sure if like Coca Cola existed in 1830 I’d be able to point at them and go “hey this company owned slaves”

@adiwan That's why I save my bacon fat

@adiwan I live in a town with a super substantial population of middle-aged immigrants so most of them have no idea what Venmo is, they’ve been doing Western Union since the 90s so there’s no going back now

@adiwan Oh yeah, that would be a more French pronunciation, wouldn't it?

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan Nah, that sounds too much like talking crap on poutine

Matt adiwan

@adiwan He offered me one million rubles… which I here is worth about $4 USD these days

@adiwan Putin my balls in his [Russian President Vladimir Putin’s] mouth.

@adiwan Yeah, failing a better solution I've side-eyed a KeyTWO, new-old-stock. Sliding horizontal keyboard is probably still my favorite, I had an old LG (Ally?) that did that.

@adiwan I've been eyeballing a Pinephone https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_(Pro)_Keyboard because I seem to thrive in self-induced misery lol

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan I was afraid of this, when OnwardMobility (finally) announced "We'll totally have a Keyboard Smartphone in 2022" and half the comments were "What brand lol"

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan Yeah, I had bought it for "selfie-ing" I guess, lol. But I've had some success using it for stationary photography (like birds on the bird feeder) where it lets me see much better to begin with and lets me be sure of the shot before I hit the remote switch.

@adiwan I've got a 7" monitor I've tried dual-ing with. It's a lot nicer than the 3" built-in screen on my camera, but really insufficient for modern desktop use lol

@adiwan e n v y O__O

Matt adiwan

@adiwan same :/

@adiwan My poor bike got so rusted and sun-destroyed over the pandemic, but I also just can't ride the damn thing anywhere. Super jealous, lol

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan There may be a Canadian or two to pop back in every couple of months, but I don't know if any of them were from/around Montreal

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan I've heard it was pretty aggressively "meh," I'm kind of over most of the Marvel movie scene right now.

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan Maybe the South is on to something by just dropping it down to "all'a'y'all"

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan Probably for the best, then.

Scribus adiwan

@adiwan Have you tried Gin? It's like a pinecone soaked in cheap perfume!

@adiwan Whatever it takes for the covid phantom to quit menacing us
