I'm somewhat annoyed that anytime the number 69 is mentioned someone says "nice".

Yesterday i was at my favorite coiffeur because I couldn't stand the long hair anymore that constantly fell into my face and was heating up my back neck. Now my hair is short again such that I do not need my hair drier for a while because it dries quickly on its own. I also gave a bigger tip.

@adiwan Curious, do you have establishments that might be more of a "barber shop" situation? Like, in the USA, there's sort of a "barber for men, salon for women" thing going on. I kind of like the idea of just a neutral "haircut place."
-
@scribus Most places I know in Germany and Poland offer cutting hair both for men and women but they are sectioned off in a way, men front, women back (with or without a wall in between). Smaller places with less traffic do not have that.
There are only very few places that are highly specialized on either gender, like for men and offering more services for beard grooming.
My favorite place has men in the front and women in the back. It's a Turkish lead establishment that has some fancy services like pulling eye brow hair with string for both genders, often used by people with monobrow tendencies and the pulling of the hair creates a very clean look without stubbles.

Haha I didn't realize I was even buying a curved monitor, this is w e i r d
Tuesday, 28-Jul-20 05:00:21 UTC from web-
@scribus I saw a curved monitor at a store recently. I get why some people want them but I am on the side that who wants the screen flat, except for retro games (NES, SNES) the screen can bulge out a little bit.
-
@adiwan It's not especially pronounced. I've seen some that were gnarly, like you need peripheral engaged to see anything, but this isn't too bad. I think I'm more tripped out by how wide it is, coming off of the laptop life. :p
-
@scribus I can feel that. When I had my 50'' 4k TV in front of me it was slightly overwhelming. Before that my 24'' 1920x1200 PC display was huge when I upgraded from a 15'' CRT. On the laptop side I highly prefer the 13'' size.

Well, the line for my online order is so long that I may not be getting a new computer after all

@adiwan Eh, I wanted a hassle-free shopping experience, resulting in me owning a future-expandable desktop computer. Indifferent as to pre-built or DIY, except for reasons I need a Windows license so

Both series are tons better than Pony Life.

The swallows are flying like crazy these days as the flying ants and other bugs are very active right now. I cannot air my apartment without having some bugs in.

@adiwan I just had three little bats in my backyard. Like Addams Family meets Bob Marley... heheh
-
@scribus A long time ago there were a few bats. I don't know if there are any now. Even back then they were hard to spot flying in the twilight.
-
@adiwan Yeah, they're tiny and quick under bad lighting, lol. I didn't even bother to try a picture or video.

People keep telling me there’s actual logic behind The Simpsons’ production codes but I know they’re just as confused as I am. Only a maniac would label the first production season “7G”.

800 pages left and I have finished reading all of the Inu Yasha manga. Roundabout 10300 pages for the whole thing.

@adiwan Thank god Tolkien didn't live to work in the medium. Then again, maybe "The Hobbit" would justify three movies...
-
@scribus The Hobbit is a short book but it compresses time a lot and a lot and things are not very well told because they come somewhat out of nowhere. 3 movies is a bit much, I can agree that 2 would be very fine.
Reading Inu Yasha to the end was easier than Lord of the Rings. I HATE all those lengthy scenic descriptions in LOTR and my brain fades out too quickly to get past them. LOTR would work a lot better as a comic because those would be held to a brief instance and not minutes and multiple pages. To be frank: Inu Yasha has also big pacing issues. It could have been easily cut in half without losing too much of its substance. Towards the end it got DBZ-like when it comes to stretching the content and delay the inevitable.

watching all these 1930s Mickey Mouse shorts in HD feels wrong somehow
Wednesday, 24-Jun-20 08:10:40 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Pretend watching them in the cinema in the 1930s. The old film resolution is somewhat close to 2K resolution. You just need a film grain filter and bad speakers, and maybe an old-timey seat.

New Pokémon Snap? I'm gladly waiting for all the reviews. Especially I'm waiting for all the reviewers and people bashing it for being too repetitive, short, and unoriginal. The N64 game can be played through within a few hours, and even then there was barely any varying gameplay beyond gushing over 3-dimensional Pokémon jumping around and abusing them with throwables. I expect the new one being similar in scope feature-wise. The right evolution of the game has to be at least a semi-open world with day-and-night cycles and a focus on stealth and exploration, like a real animal and nature photographer.
Wednesday, 17-Jun-20 20:53:25 UTC from web-
@adiwan The largest amount of gameplay time came from trying to find a Blockbuster with one of those proprietary printing booths. They should integrate it with Pokemon Go, lol. (Hey, I wonder if that Last Blockbuster Standing has one of the printers...?)
-
@scribus I saw a video about the last Blockbuster end of last year and I haven't noticed any Pokémon Snap photo printing stations.

Started binge-watching Community. Before I have never watched more than a few episodes.
Thursday, 11-Jun-20 16:48:56 UTC from web-
@adiwan Community season 2 is one of my fave seasons of anything ever so I'd definitely take it that far at least. The rest ranges from okay to pretty good for me if you pretend the show ended with season 5
-
@tiff Finished Season 5 today and it was a stinker. I'm mid-season 6 and it ain't better.
-
@adiwan I got like 4 episodes into season 6 and gave up lmao, it is not the same show at all by that point

hope to god those Nvidia leaks are fake, those are some ugly motherbatcaveing graphics cards.
Monday, 15-Jun-20 19:49:24 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Who cares how they look like? As long as they perform and have good thermals for a reasonable price it's all nice and dandy. Also those leaks are nVidia's own design, and all other manufacturers can implement their own solution. Most of the time the card is in a PC case and in my case there is no window in my case, so looks are totally irrellevant.

@adiwan Hey, have you seen this alleged 6-foot Burger King crown? https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/2020-05-26-burger-king-germany-social-distancing-crowns-fast-food-24433428.html

@mrmattimation For decades a lot of countries have voting by mail. There are real world numbers how insignificant the frauds are. Also not giving people the opportunity to vote is soooo democratic.
-
@mrmattimation It's damn welcome, but I feel too little, too late.
-
@adiwan We’ve had states IN THE US that have been majority mail-in voting for YEARS before Covid. It’s just that they were all Republican states like Utah and Arizona. Wasn’t a problem before. Now that everyone else is doing it suddenly it’s an “invitation” for voter fraud. BS.

@adiwan Oh hey I was just squawking about this (in part) https://social.justinbremer.com/notice/9vCzvFyGmzfAo0YK8G
-
@scribus I'm a mostly hygienic reasonable person and already practiced most basic things like keeping distance and washing regularly my hands (going outside, coming home, before a meal...) and being highly aware of not touching the face upon touching others (shaking hands for example). Seeing others doing the same thing on a loosened quarantine is almost impossible. Whenever seeing public rest rooms somewhere else or at work... You lose faith. In my opinion it'll spread even faster because the mass of infected people is higher than at the beginning. 3 months in a tight lockdown would solve this problem, however most people gave up after a few weeks.

AMD, whyyyyyy doesn’t your Ryzen series have integrated graphics, not having a working GPU suuuuucks

@mrmattimation There are Ryzen CPUs with an integrated GPU, but they are on the low-end and have a G at the end of the model number.

Today I've killed about 30 ants that tried to invade my apartment. I live on the 3rd level of the building. I haven't expected so many of them this high off the ground. I'm glad they were only in the bathroom where they could be easily spotted in front of the white tiles.

@scribus I'm principally bothered that there are ants in my apartment in the first place.

Printing my face face mask http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875504
Wednesday, 29-Apr-20 13:23:33 UTC from web-
@scribus I'll put a filter behind later. This model doesn't have any fixtures for a filter. After printing I consider thinking about one, or even none. I also could just wear a normal mask under that.
-
@adiwan I was thinking about getting fleshtone spandex and trying to look like I was all eyes without a face, but that involved going out and holding up swaths of public fabric to my face and you can see why that'd be a bad idea even if the stores were open so... :p Anyway, good luck on it!
-
@scribus First of all the scale of my mask has to fit. Due to the scanning process and the myriad of 3d programs I had to use the scale is all out of whack when exporting. So I had to guess the right scale. I used some marker places and guesstimated the final thing.

Things that bother me: The phrase "<some fact> after all". For me it's always a groanworthy cheap way of exposition. The "after all" is the icing on the cake to make it more obvious.
