I'm glad I refused to use Facebook, Instagram, Oculus VR headsets, and WhatsApp

@scribus BTW: The first episode of season 5 of Rick & Morty is also there on the channel. I watched the episode elsewhere but it's neat that they put it on Youtube for the exposure. Rick & Morty doesn't need that but Tuca & Bertie needs that as its style can be off-putting very easily.
-
Cool! New Tuca & Bertie season and the first episode is on the official Adult Swim Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWIhZ0R2H7M

@scribus Shooting with a Game Boy Camera is super hard. Because of the 2 bit depth you need to exploit natural strong contrasts. Also the resolution is so bad that you need to have a recognizable big shape in the foreground. Anything in the distance gets fuzzy. In that picture the pond and the trees are unrecognizable.

I had some fun with my Game Boy Camera today. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875935

@scribus Yeah. I don't know how it has a nickname in Germany. I think it hasn't one. We just call it "Impfung" (vaccination).
-
I just took the shot.
-
Oh wow. I have my first vaccine appointment on Friday.

How much has my brain brainfarted that I thought the bike repair appointment was this week.... It's next month. Argh. I'm glad I checked the mail again.

Speaking of Star Wars: I was re-organizing the boxes and could grab one empty box in order to make a little more room in the others. And I managed to do the impossible and made all boxes full.

I need more comic short boxes. At least ten. Some of my boxes are about to burst as they cannot fit any more comics. My two Pony boxes are both full. Rick & Morty also bursting. Star Wars... It's a nightmare. The longer the series and the more spinoffs the worse it is to keep them together. At least most of the comics from Image have the courtesy to be comparatively short and not an ongoing madness.

@scribus Right at the beginning of the pandemic bike ownership spiked hugely here. I think that the long wait times are a result of the massive demand that roll over the available personnel. The more people using their (old) bikes the higher the probability something needs to be fixed, as in my case. I haven't used my bike for over 14 years because I had a car or I could use the bus and tram for "free" (paid with tuition costs for the uni).
-
I'm going to cycle 4km to a bike repair shop and walk back as the bike doesn't fit into my car. The gears don't work that well as the highest gears don't work at all. I had to wait for the appointment for 3 weeks. All the bicycle repair shops are flooded with repair requests. I asked around and the closest bike repair shop (1km) had a waiting time of almost 2 months.

29°C outside - 23°C inside. If I hadn't AC I surely had something at or above 30°C.

Having AC is a bliss.

Forstner bits are awesome. Drilling out a big hole has never been so easy and clean.

I binged "Sweet Tooth". It was an OK series. I'm not a fan of fiction that takes place in an apocalypse, less so when it is about a deadly virus. Some characters are very well played but the plot is a bit too thin for my liking at some crucial points as I feel the need to know character motivations. Towards the end of the season a few things cleared up but left me dissatisfied. Also Furries.

@scribus Don't they come here to read brainfarts from three blokes who watched a children's show?...
-
@scribus Sure! It'll save me a trip to the dentist. I was watching Adam Savage's Tool Tip and couldn't resist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWxCvMzvxlQ I wanted a vacuform for quite some time but I'm too lazy building one myself or it was too expensive. 130 Eurobucks I can spend for an all-in-one device that looks solidly built (better than I could do).
-
Dammit. I got weak and bought a dental vacuum forming machine. I mean I do not intent using it for dental work but I want to use it to vacuform small objects. With it I can copy flat-ish small objects, either as is or I can use that as a mold.

Amphibia Season 2 ended awesomely and The Owl House Season 2 starts also quite well.

The high PC component prices make me imagine that these parts may be so expensive that some eccentric rich people want to wear them as jewelry.
-
@scribus Yeah. I'm just imagining how a phone/portable musik player with XLR plugs would look like.
-
@scribus Oof. I guess opening the case in order to repair it will probably result in a catastrophy.
-
I think "true" wireless earbuds are a scam with some extra steps. They are expensive, their batteries cannot (easily) be replaced, and they are easily lost, and need a bulky case to charge the earbuds that also adds its failure points and inconveniences to the mix (easy to be lost, battery replacement, hinge, contacts for charging...). A cable isn't perfect either but there are some models with replaceable cables, that don't make it all unusable once it eventually breaks. Tangling of the cable is annoying but it is the less bad than all the wireless earbuds will inflict once they start to misbehave or become obsolete. 3.5mm audio jacks are so "dumb" and simple that it's hard for them to fail.

The Wii U had good games. Most of them got ports (or superior sequels) on the Switch or other systems. At this point there are only a handful of games exclusive to the Wii U like Zombi U, Starfox Zero and Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875925

I guess I waited for a PC upgrade so long that it's better to just wait for the next big thing, like when AMD releases a new CPU socket and supports DDR5.
