Planted tomato and jalapeño seeds into some planters I bought today. 12 tomato, 8 jalapeño. I bet not everything will survive but I will see who will win the battle royale, not the Fortnite kind, the Beat Takeshi kind.

@scribus It probably will. These species are of the generic and common kind. I think that they will survive and give me headaches when they outgrow their pots and spots where they are currently standing. If they all grow it'll be fine, even when they die I won't be sad. I see it as my dry run if I'm capable of taking care of them. My plan was to have a green house next year and plant a bunch of old and uncommon tomato species: yellow pear-shaped, deep purple, some with tiger stripes, some elongated egg-shaped, and other weird ones.
-
@scribus Duly noted. The reports look promising so far when it comes to being an uncomplicated and tasty tomato. The plant grows up to 180cm and has super heavy fruits. The infrastructure to keep them up has to be built first for this mammoth. Up to 350g per tomato is crazy.

I was doing some garden work today. Within an hour or two I managed to fill up the trash can for all the biodegradable garbage. I have to wait two weeks in order to continue cutting down the bushes. The weather will be bad anyway in the coming days, so I wouldn't do gardening anyway. If I am at the same point next time I'll probably have to ask a neighbor for using their trash can capacity.

@adiwan Any way to get issued another one? Especially if you'll need to be doing a lot of work often.
-
@scribus I could get a bigger one but the monthly costs are way higher. 120L (the one I have) costs 15€ a month and the next size up would be two of them for double the price. In average I overpay for the size I use. In Winter I barely used 1/5th of the capacity. From May to November the pickup frequency increases from once every two weeks to once a week. That will do basically the same without paying more. In this regard I have to wait a month. Being patient.

There is a ton of talk from boomers that millenials and genz are social garbage. Yesterday I saw a pair of self-entitled 70-80 year olds (man and wife) packing out their shopping cart at a closed checkout line while the super market was clearly understaffed AND were demanding another checkout line to be opened and then saying (more to themselves) that they will go without paying.

20 minutes later it is fixed. I fixed it temporarily with a zip tie and went to the hardware store to get the right screws and nuts. Obviously I bought more than I actually needed to fix that. What I learned is that I don't have enough screws and nuts.
about a year ago from web-
@scribus I bought a locking nut that has a ring of nylon in the threads. I hope it will hold. I don't want to use Loctite as I fear it'll make problems in the future with maintenance. I have enough replacements right now. Whenever it will happen again I'll definitely try using Loctite.

Hello, old-timer just checking in saying hello. I have given up on IT since the pandemic hit and now work in a warehouse. Much nicer, higher pay and don't have to talk to anyone. Also been doing animation work with clipstudio paint. Hope you all are doing well, and a early happy birthday to the RDN!

@cabal The messiah has returned!.... Haven't thought that an IT job could be out-waged by a warehouse job. Good that you are more content with both the better pay and the kind of job you have now. I don't like to talk to people and yet I need to more often than I like. I bought myself a house and thus improved my sleep by getting away from noisy neighbours and I also got myself doing some creative things and low-key reviving my personal tumblr page.

My favorite mug that I own for about 25 years has finally cracked. The handle broke on its own from the handling and the temperature changes. The crack was relatively clean. I "fixed" it with super glue but I have little confidence that it'll hold more than a year and I think it'll show other crack in that time.
about a year ago from web-
@scribus The thought did occur to me. The break was quite clean. Also I got the thought after the glue has already set. I also imagined if the handle breaks completely off that I get myself a good chunk of hard wood and make a wooden mug handle and glue it to the mug with an epoxy glue. The wooden handle wouldn't be dishwasher safe however it will transfer less heat.

@zeldatra If I were in the US I'd be called a filthy communist. I'm all for universal healthcare. In Germany you can opt-out and be privately health-insured. I'm against that as rich people dodge paying into the general health care fund, making the poorer pay more. I'm also for free public transport (bus, tram, trains) as they are a key part for poorer people to participate in society and make it easier for them to get or maintain a job (also environmental benefits). I think most of the political landscape would burn me like a witch, except is a giant BBQ with a US flag paint job.

@scribus Haha. For this one-off it took me about 8 hours. As a fresh owner of a house there is much to do to fix up this old clunker. I also got this same suggestion from my friends to make this as a side hustle. But to be honest: I rather invest the time to make something for my friends than for complete strangers.

Had to get a new phone number due to many frustrating circumstances that caused me to lose access to the old one, but then I got the old one back, so now I have two phone numbers like some kind of drug dealer. My new number belonged to some old lady that gave her number out to literally everyone and everything so the new number’s gotta go. I’ve been getting spam calls and texts nonstop all day.

@zeldatra I got landline phone numbers with my Internet contract and once in a while I receive calls from random people thinking it belongs to a garage shop. It happens only a couple times a year.

I bought a tool for splicing 3d printer filament. It's difficult as hell. I bought it so I can use up all those "too much to throw away but too short to print anything usable" spools. The main problem is that I end up having a splice that is way too thick to fit through the PTFE tube that will definitely end up as a print failure. At this point I think it is a operator failure than a failure of the tool. I give it more tries until I throw it into the corner.
Monday, 05-Feb-24 10:06:47 UTC from web-
@scribus I think too. Also I have the suspicion that the tool I bought is kind of flawed in both handling and execution https://i.imgur.com/rWLHU0z.jpeg It is made such that you put one end into the area with the Teflon sleeve and the other end to the metal hole. Both ends are then heated by a flame (candle, lighter) for a couple seconds and then pulled into the Teflon area and there the ends are pushed together while the plastic is hot. After it has cooled down the screws are loosened and the tool can be removed. The hole in the Teflon area is about 2mm in diameter while the plastic filament is 1.75mm. Ideally the hole should be the same or close in size. Either way pushing the filament into the hole while it's melted is hard as the filament itself tends to naturally curl because it has been wound up on a spool before and hand-straightening is not really easy or effective enough. I need to shave off the extra bulge back to 1.75mm in order to prevent clogs. Wasn't expensive tough.

“Kiryu has contracted schizophrenia from repeated exposure to Kasuga” is not a tutorial I thought I would read in this game

@adiwan I dunno, maybe I’m just misremembering Nanba’s voice because I’m currently used to hearing him as Yagami’s, but Greg Chun constantly sounds like he’s about to lose his voice in Infinite Wealth. That and his audio mixing is like noticeably worse than everyone else’s, so he might actually just have done everything from home with no voice direction and the audio engineer didn’t fix anything. Mega jarring because the rest of the English voice dub is shockingly good.
-
@zeldatra I'm playing with the Japanese audio. I don't know how good the English voice cast is but I'm very much used to listening to the Japanese voices. On the other hand the English of some characters is the epitome of bad. I cringe extremely hard hearing speaking English. If I were the director I'd rather have a voice-alike for the English. Maybe it was out of budget or time but it undermines his character in my opinion.
-
@adiwan it’s mad unfortunate in some cases, they face scanned Daniel Dae Kim for the triad boss but when he talks it’s not Daniel Dae Kim’s voice and Daniel Dae Kim is Ebina instead???

Did Ichiban and Kiryu have an off-screen adventure together between Ryu 7 and Infinite Wealth or something? Ichiban keeps saying papaya like “everything Kiryu did for me” but to my knowledge all Kiryu did was show up, beat Ichiban up, exposit at him, then leave without even telling him his name.
Sunday, 04-Feb-24 16:28:21 UTC from web-
@zeldatra You are right. It was really odd that they were both very good buddies from his perspective. I would guess that Ichiban got his name from Songhee or Joon-gi (the Geomijul in general) and he probably meant with "everything Kiryu did for me" was just the little bit of Kiryu helping his cause in 7.

A group of dudes stole $2000 in merchandise in a single night at my store, and my dumbass hothead of a cart pusher threw hands. They came in again last night and brought mace. Now I kind of wanna wear goggles tonight in case they come in again but at this rate if they discover I’m immune to mace they’ll bring a gun tomorrow.

@scribus my current plan is to stand around door and watch it so I can at least say I did something when they review cameras, ain’t getting close to these psychos though. My hero complex doesn’t run THAT strong.
-
@zeldatra Isn't it the point to call the police? Or when you see them again to call for help (police/security...).
-
@adiwan I do that too, but the cops in this county are mega slow. You call, they take 45 minutes to show up.

@scribus It would be more if I didn't had the tax guy and did it by myself but it's a piece of mind worth the loss. Cannot tell how much time it saves me. It took me half an hour getting through all my papers, optimize some little things, berating me not having enough expenses as I didn't reach a threshold for a bigger tax payback, and getting it ready to send to the tax office.

In chapter 2, Kasuga is being arrested at gunpoint by American police who have no idea what he’s saying and vice versa, then later on he’s communicating with a different police officer perfectly fine with no language barrier.
Monday, 29-Jan-24 15:03:38 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I'm in chapter 5. Language is very loosey-goosey handled beyond in every aspect of the game. At this point I just accept that they have some kind of universal translator that occasionally malfunctions. There is also the possibility that Kiryu translates everything but for he sake of drama and brevity it is not shown. In Yakuza 3 those English books from the scam must have some effect.

@scribus At this point it has become a footnote in history and lost any kind of cultural significance beyond furry porn. There were a few films in the cinema but they were purely driven by nostalgia. I haven't seen any child wearing any kind of Digimon T-shirt or alike in a very very very long while. Also the name only pops up in conjunction with: "Do you remember Digimon?". Digimon can be considered functionally dead from my point of view. My interest in Digimon died somewhere in the first third of the Digimon Tamers TV Series and it was not big before.

So. I was in a very bad car crash a a few months ago. Hit from two sides. Highway speed. Now insurance and law are sniffing at me with hunger no doubt, and medical is listing me with a hundred and one reasons why I can't be a functional adult, but my lack of injuries and lack of symptoms are making it worse, since I can't safely get any kind of long term income cause im not injured but the medical file bars me from working or driving. My only hope is loopholes in laws and maybe some good graces of those that dont care to sign off on me for the odd thing. But I bananaed off a higher power.

@firestormdangerdash That's insane. Hopefully it will get better.
-
@adiwan Thank you. I never cared about life direction. But I knew how to handle my life. Now I was scared for a long time since I had rights and independence medically stripped from me on doctors orders. My future feels dead. My career probably is too. There is a slow path that might get my some rights back. But is that enough to be free? Idk. And easily undone if a doctor comes up with a new condition to give me. My only breaking point is just ignoring the medical and thus law to rebuild my life. Worst case I will lose what I already lost. Freedom.

I bought myself very cheap and simple black leather bracers (~15€), the type that tie only with a string. I intent to wear them next time the roads are slippery in order to prevent scratches on my arm, as my jacket didn't do anything to prevent that. These bracers slide constantly up and down as it is really difficult to put tension on the string and it is easy to overdo it for a comfortable and tight fit.
Monday, 15-Jan-24 19:28:33 UTC from web-
@adiwan Research I should have done earlier say that is normal that they slide and don't fit right away. Either they have to be worn long enough that they mold to the arm shape and create more friction area, or some cloth or else is worn under the bracers, or the bracers are tied/sewn to the worn shirt.
-
@adiwan I got a pair of leather bracers for LARP, they definitely have seemed to fit better over time. I usually have the sleeves of my puffy shirt tucked into them, so that probably helps, too, but I also mostly only do it that way because the inner side of the eyehole brass thingies that you run the lace through are irritating directly on my arm
-
@scribus As a 100 % T-shirt wearer I feel that what you mean. Right now it's the rough side of the leather that feels a little scratchy as well as the stitching.

Gonna assemble myself a first-aid box. I have the feeling that all the ready-to-go purchasable ones are lacking in material and actually useful bandages. Also the ones with any number of pieces in the title are even more scummy as they count every single safety pin and other useless small piece. I want middle to big band-aids. Furthermore I don't need a hard plastic case or yet another nylon zip bag. For my car I need one of those ready-to-go ones that are mandated but that is a different thing.
Thursday, 11-Jan-24 20:36:49 UTC from web-
@scribus second this, I switched to them a while ago. I haven't really gotten a chance to use them aside from a few small cuts here and there (which is a positive I suppose) but my experience with them has been positive.

It's weird when acronyms have overlapping meaning. For example POS. I read it as Point Of Sales but the Internet abbreviates Piece Of Fluffle Puff that way. When the cashier is an asshole both can be applied.

For a birthday gift for a friend, and a small pokemaniac, I crafted a Mew stone carving (from the first Pokemon movie) out of polymer clay. I used Adobe Illustrator to trace a screenshot and 3D-printed a cookie cutter and stamped it into the polymer clay and added additional stone texture with a ball of aluminium foil. After baking it at 130°C (266°F) for 40 minutes I used the crappiest acrylic paint I own. It did the job but the paint is darkening so much when dry that they turn almost black. With a liberal amount of white and other brighter paint (yellow, orange, red) I got to the end eventually. https://i.imgur.com/D7Nsjy5.jpg
