@zeldatra Similar to Berlin that is so broke that any official paperwork and permit takes an eternity and there is a high likelihood that offices are closed without any good reason, and most places are a cherryhole. I was only a few times there and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

HELP. I bought more tomato seeds for next year. I bought "Ananas Noire", "Purple Sunrise", "Osu Blue" and some other. They look visually appealing. "Purple Sunrise" is dark pruple on top and yellow on the bottom. Wanna taste the sunrise.

Ananas-lime lemonade is not good. I like them both individually but combined it tastes very off.

@adiwan I am broke and donating plasma for occasional money, but the last time I ended up bruised so I can't donate. Truck needs an oil change, we just passed Father's Day, my birthday is in about a week, and they were offering bonuses this month so it all sounded great. But it isn't.

No matter how much earth I buy it gets used up faster than imagined. The earth of my raised beds settled and I wanted to top off.
about 10 months ago from web-
@scribus It's worse because when spreading out the earth it gets uncompressed and gains volume, giving the false impression it might be enough. The sacks I bought last time contained very coarse compost and over time everything sank down. This time This time I bought finer grained earth, special for tomatoes,

I guess people like to complain. I watched all the "The Acolyte" episodes and I thought it was not bad. The show is about slowly revealing the truth of a story from different perspectives with misdirections that are confusing without more information. Some people are stuck in a narrow mindset of what they expect from Star Wars that cannot be achieved. I get it that mystery plots can be very frustrating but I think it's not warranted yet to completely lose one's papaya. So far "Book of Boba Fett" has done more wrong in three episodes than this.

Adam Corolla's new series "Mr. Birchum" is the worst Family Guy clone not because of its right-wing politics, but because despite advertising itself as "the show the LEFT doesn't want you to see!!!!", and "too OFFENSIVE and ANTI-WOKE for mainstream television", the show itself is so tame and inoffensive that I'm left wondering if it was a retooled daytime Cartoon Network pitch that didn't get picked up or something
about a year ago from web-
@zeldatra Can it really be worse than Paradise PD on Netflix? I was instantly disgusted by Paradise PD. Also I never heard or Mr. Birchum. Just the name of the show sounds like a show about a family in a box standard suburb and Mr Birchum is the mostly clueless but well-meaning man with emotional and communication problems towards his family.
-
@adiwan I laughed at like one joke in Paradise PD which is more than the zero in the two episodes of Mr. Birchum that you can currently watch (on Ben Shapiro’s website, which I TOTALLY paid for and DIDN’T find it somewhere else illegally). It’s about a wood shop teacher (apparently it’s a character Adam Corolla played in his standup sets back in the 90s?) who’s upset about “kids these days” and is constantly antagonized by a caricature of a 2012 Tumblr SJW. He’s a lot like Hank Hill, except that unlike Hank he doesn’t grow at the end of the episode because the show portrays his “kids these days” mindset as the correct mindset. The first episode has him conscripting his students to do unpaid labor in his house and the SJW character is portrayed as being in the wrong for trying to get him fired over it.

Got a flyer from the extreme right wing political party Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) (Alternative for Germany). It's disgusting what they demand like harsh deportations. There are many points that even contradict. "We want to strengthen the EU" and then "We want to get back to national currencies and weaken the EU parliament to the point it's even less effective than a paperweight made out of one sheet of paper.". Getting rid of the elements that bind the Union together is quite the opposite. Also they want to get rid of taxes. Between the lines they believe in trickle down economics. What a bunch of racist clowns.
about a year ago from web-
@adiwan The flyer was in my mailbox because of the EU parliament election. Also I got my election papers informing me where I have to vote or how to get the by-mail-voting arranged. The voting booth is in another Elementary School than I'm used to, although not living that far away. Gonna have to find out where it's located and such.
-
@adiwan I got one of these from my Republican neighbor who was running for local office but was refusing to state his political affiliation because my district was like Biden+20 or something like that. He encouraged me to contact him so I sent him an email about his frankly horrific and cartoonishly evil platform. I never received a response and now I get dirty looks when he sees me walk down the street.
-
@zeldatra It's sad that US politics is so extremely polarized for so long that only two parties are "viable" for voting. I don't know but maybe he was leaning towards Republican because of some topics that were OK but was ignoring the horrible other stuff and rationalized them away.

@scribus The only sane way to enjoy games is to wait until it's on sale. Up to that point most bugs have been squashed and cheap enough to buy two or more games for the price of one new game. I just bought myself Return To Monkey Island. I'm hesitating on buying Metal Wolf Chaos XD. I tried the original on my hacked XBox (copied to the HDD) but the cutscenes stuttered horribly.
-
@scribus I waited years for the release of the sequel of my most favorite game, Simon The Sorcerer 2, which was Simon The Sorcerer 3D. When it eventually released it was a MESS. Everything that could be wrong was wrong, from the graphics, the controls, the performance, story, bugs at every corner... I was heartbroken when I was reading the reviews in the magazines. It took years until I was brave enough to face it, when I got the full version with the add-in CD from a PC gaming magazine. Even patched it was still a sewer system worth of kiwi. The 4th and 5th installment of Simon The Sorcerer were better but were soulless imitations of the first two.

With Lost Judgment (finally) beaten, that is every single mainline Yakuza game under my belt. I started Yakuza Kiwami around this time in 2023, so I’ve been at it for about a year. …what do I do now?

@zeldatra I'm also inflicted with the same life question. I'm suffering for any new RGG game while contemplating if other things in life can fill out the void but never can. You can play Ishin. If you're adventurous you may play Kenzan (the other that plays in old Japan) or Kurohyou 1 and 2 (the PSP games).

@scribus unironically the dumbest person in The Big Lebowski probably was better educated than any single person in Ijincho is since according to Lost Judgment nobody at this high school actually attends any classes ever. They’re attending dance club, or reading mystery novels in a boiler room, or painting themselves to look like body models and hiding in classrooms for days at a time to steal test answers, or plotting murders, or getting beat up by me on the streets miles away from the school, but nobody’s learning, I guarantee you that

@adiwan Ever had a baked potato that turned out to have grown around a nice rock? Likewise an unpleasant crunch surprise.
-
@scribus Ooooof.... That is a very nasty surprise. I had something similarly unpleasant: My mother uses a casserole dish made out of glass and one day there were glass chunks in the food. It turned out that due to wear the inner edge of the lid and the dish got so damaged that they eventually broke off. Only in hindsight it was obvious what happened. I got some of the glass pieces but luckily I noticed it very quickly in my mouth and nothing happened to anyone. We threw out both the casserole dish and the food.

I'm using a faux leather case with a cover flap for my Blackberry KeyOne and today it broke after 6 years of use. The plastic part that holds the phone separated from the faux leather cover. Luckily a little bit of strong and flexible glue fixed it. I only had to scrub off the old and hardened glue beforehand. It's a sign that I need to look for a new smartphone, alongside the rather poor and aging battery.
about a year ago from web-
@adiwan My not-leather KeyOne case is mostly still together, but I've had to glue 2 or 3 keys back onto the phone, and my battery is probably no better than yours. Anything with a real keyboard available in Europe still?
-
@scribus Sadly no. I'm occasionally looking for keyboard smartphones but they are an extinct breed. More extinct than phones with a headphone jack and with no stupid front camera notches or punch holes. I had a OnePlus Nord N30 on my radar until I saw the stupid punch hole and no OS feature updates (only 2 years of security updates). Also finding a decent-ish phone under 400€ AND that is satisfying my requirements is practically impossible for me.
