  1. "Dolemite is my name" is great.

  2. @drinkingpony To be honest: I'd be willing to pay for it just for the convenience sake but that limitation of access makes it very hard.

  3. Disney+ is starting end of March next year in Germany. Gonna put on my eye patch and put a fake accent. Arrrrr.

  4. @drinkingpony I don't see anything wrong there. This is a beaaaautiful rendition.

  5. @drinkingpony Aye comrade!

  6. It seems like that anything that remotely benefits the general populous in the USA is seen as socialist or communist by somebody in power with financial (self-)interest.

  7. @drinkingpony I sometimes eat mo(u)ld cheese like Brie or Camembert. I eat spread cheese more likely at the morning because I have sometimes problems swallowing chunkier stuff on the bread.

  8. @drinkingpony It was a spread cheese (with herbs) that was half hard and half liquid and it tasted/smelled like a blue cheese. Totally not it's supposed to be.

  9. I hate when food goes bad before the expiration date.

  10. @scribus Oh yeah Gargoyles. I haven't seen that in ages. I wonder how good it still holds up. All I can remember is that it was damn good at its time with a good emphasis on continuity and lore and tragedy.

  11. @drinkingpony It's not the greatest animated show (Amazing World of Gumball is) but it contains some entertainment that is not downright horrible. She-Ra is alright. 6/10. 3 out of 5 stars. It has definitely improved since its start. The characters are complex enough to appreciate the writing.

  12. The great thing about having vacation is that you can binge a new season when it is getting dropped. I watched all of She-Ra Season 4 today. Would I binge it if I had a normal work day: yes.

  13. Bought jasmin tea. It's not my cup of tea.

  14. @drinkingpony The customs office will send it back. I'd like to know what this random person from Donguang China has sent me. Lying and commit a fraud is not worth my time and the risk.

  15. @drinkingpony I'd like to but without knowing the *exact* contents and a PayPal or Bank receipt (or similar) the customs office employee refused to hand it over. I don't want to commit a crime for cheap electronics and faking a receipt. Also I have to give the exact content description prior to opening the package and I cannot do that.

  16. Regarding the mysterious packet that I didn't order and is at the customs office: I cannot get it because I lack a confirmation of purchase. So I will never know what exactly was in there. It'll haunt me until death.

  17. @drinkingpony It needs a lot of self-hate to buy a sports game and doing it repeatedly.

  18. Today at the flea market was frustrating. Everywhere I looked FIFA games. One seller had all FIFA games from 2006 onwards to 2015. I don't understand the dedication for this.

  19. @drinkingpony I have a soft spot for the film. I cannot help myself. Probably you have some films that are not very excelling but you like them nonetheless.

  20. @drinkingpony Solo was good. It just had the misfortune to be released so close to The Last Jedi and had its reviews affect Solo. Solo had issues but it was fun and I enjoyed it.

  21. @drinkingpony It was an Amazon Marketplace item and only shipped by Amazon. So I had to contact the seller first and the seller had two days to reply. I waited a few days longer and contacted Amazon and they solved it immediately.

  22. Aaaaand my CNC is dead. It coughed up magic smoke. A resistor blew up while trying to troubleshoot the problem of the non-moving and squealing Z Axis. It turned out to be a coil that squealed. The motor was conveniently behind the mainboard so I misinterpreted that as a faulty motor. I bought stepper motors for nothing. I can reuse them for something else. Like making a 3D printer from scratch but it won't be anytime soon.
    I contacted Amazon support and they offer a refund. So I bought a new one. The marketplace seller was uncooperative and didn't answered after a week of silence.
    I just ordered a replacement that is slightly cheaper from another seller.

  23. @drinkingpony Haha. No death ray. The most perplexing fact is that it was sent on October 30th. A few days ago, from China via express shipment. I looked at my bank account and nothing was out of the expected. The last thing I ordered from China were 3D printer board (that I've received) and a plushie for a relative's birthday (that I've also received). The customs office letter says that I have to bring a bill, purchase contract, or something that verifies its value and transaction. If I do nothing until the end of next week it'll be sent back. My curiosity is big enough to go to the customs office and see what it is.

  24. Just got mail from the customs office for an item I can't remember. I tried to cross reference with my emails with the given shipper information but I cannot find what it is exactly. In the content description are only vague notes like "PCB" or "Development Board" but so far I got everything I ordered.

  25. @scribus BUT URBAN DICTIONARY SAYS:" YOU ARE ALL OLD AND OUTDATED!"

  26. Tried watching "Hazbin Hotel" but I turned off the video after 8 minutes. As much as I appreciate the hard work it does not resonate with me. Up to that time it was as "hyperactive" as the internet and that turned me off. There was always something happening without any second to take a breath.

  27. Because of a man vandalizing a church door a long time ago I have today a holiday, which conveniently extends my vacation by one day.

  28. The popcorn I bough is the worst. About 1/5th of all kernels don't pop. It was even more expensive than the popcorn I usually bought.

  29. @drinkingpony I'm staying at home and play with my toys (CNC router, 3D printers, videogames) and do some recreational programming.

  30. Luckily I did not forget turning off my alarm clock. I'd be not very pleasant waking up at 5AM on vacation.
