Delving into smaller youtube channels. The sponsor segments are definitely weirder than the ones of the bigger and more established channels. It surely shows the desperation the creators have. A furniture modification/restoration channel that is sponsored by a LED beauty face mask? Questionable meets desperation.

@adiwan As someone who shaves maybe a fraction of their face, maybe once a week, I just laugh at the wasted sponsor money every time I see one
-
@scribus Me too. I shave once a month and wait until it gets itchy. I only have a simple safety razor and an electric shaver. It is sufficient but I like neither of those because my skin is easily irritable. I'd like to permanently remove my beard with lasers but I fear it'll destroy my skin.
-
@adiwan I go the easy route and trim with scissors, then correct with the razor. Should probably buy an electric shaver but eh

My dad was showing me something of an old guy from Maryland, where Dad's from. Dude had a wicked thick accent, but I could mostly follow him while he was talking with the interviewer. But once another local came up and they started talking, man, I swear it went from "dialect" to "whole new language" as far as I could hear

Working for a project in northern Germany. Every morning it begins with everyone greeting with "moin". It is not a abbreviation for "morning" but it is an old lower German word for "good" and "pleasant".
about 12 days ago from web-
@scribus Just to be clear: Lower German is not that common, however in casual conversation it has some foothold in everyday use, especially common expressions and traditional stuff like in food or handiwork or hunting. In comparison the Bavarian dialect is 20 times more common. It is not dead but there is definitely a dying trend. A local broadcaster has a one hour news block that uses lower German throughout.

7 hours into my 32th birthday I've already caused all sorts of romantic chaos, had my crush hint very overtly that she would like me to fight with her boyfriend over her (won't, she made her choice) and had a drunk gay friend confess to me in an absolutely obsessive, self-destructive and pathological way (which would have been really hot if it was a girl)
It's turning out to be a VERY eventful day and I'm very happy for it.
I joined this place when I was 18 and I'm glad I haven't mellowed out at all in that time. Here's hoping in another 14 years things will be just as crazy still.about a month ago from web-

@pandaexpress Around that long yeah, glad to hear it came around for you in the end.
I've been pretty well all around. 2017 was kind of a mess but other than that, there have been a lot more upsides than downsides. Some losses sure, but death is unavoidable, all that is within my control ticks under my rythm and that's all that matters to say life is good.
Made a lot of friends, got new certifications and a different job, dropped my ex and had a lot of fun these last 8 years. All I can possibly complain of right now is that the stock market is not as good as I'd wish lol.Emily likes this. -

@adiwan Have you built a roof or pseudo-greenhouse for them? usually just a transparent nylon cover to prevent rain damage is enough to keep them safe
-
@nerthos Not yet. I have to acquire free trampolines with side-netting for the sole purpose to get the metal tubes to build such a cover. I could buy it ready but due to my bucket solution of a raised bed I'd need 30-40 cm more than purchasable.

Well I'm trying to do a House-aligned playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, but I very really truly hate him and the terrible asshole things he says :-/
about 2 months ago from web-
@scribus Interesting, he's my favourite faction to side with on the grounds of pragmatism, he's the only one with a plan (and the actual capability to make it happen) to make humanity go anywhere other than "we'll just be hobos in perpetuity"
He might not be incredibly likable, but in a survival scenario that's irrelevant. -
@nerthos Yeah, I want to not hate him - I mean, a retro-future spaceVegas? Hell, yeah!! He's not even that unlikable, there's a wry sort of amusement to his bearing. But he's too egocentric; he's not preserving humanity, he's feeding his ego and seeking to create a thrallhood underclass to prop HIM up. Ultimately, I don't consider him sufficiently distinct from Caesar. Both cling to old-world ideals and play up some fantasy of the "inevitability" of "their" power. So, I kill him, take his city, and in my mind carry on with developing the space plans in a little more cooperative, ground-up fashion. (Though in all honesty a spacefaring future would be just as hellish as the vaults so iunno w/e i guess lol) Also I make The King governor or something :p
-
@scribus That all sounds good until you factor in the kind of human resource you're dealing with in Fallout. Ironically the tv show is the best illustration of this, with the main character trying to behave like a civilized person and consistently getting banana'd by everyone.
House's narcissistic approach is a necessity in the world he's operating, without the army of robots forcing the wastelanders to work at gunpoint nothing will get done (example: they're still living in shacks near 200 years after the war)
Plus, he has civilized some factions already, so it's not like he won't uplift the competent and decent wastelanders into better positions. He has to do that for any space settling plan to work, since good people are needed to populate those colonies.
Sometimes, a competent megalomaniac is the only option that can get the job done.

@zeldatra Yeah. I had to look up a few times. Thankfully Steam displayed the remaining hours until release. I had prealoaded it yesterday, however minutes after the official release it wasn't able to start because my Steam client wasn't aware of the release. A restart of the client fixed it.

Children should play a bootleg console at least once in their lives. A good 'ol famiclone. A NES on a chip or anything that promises 99999999 games in one but they are repeats or just start at a different level. This kind of disappointment and wonder is a unique brew of an experience that is both cheap and rich in questionable fun. A lie with an upside. Bonus points if they are actually rom hacks with the weirdest promises.
about 2 months ago from web-
@adiwan As a child I had an N64 controller that you would plug into a tv and it would load up 900 NES and arcade roms, probably less than a hundred of which were unique games. Kids today now can get handheld that do the same thing on Temu, everything is properly labeled, the emulators don’t run at half speed, sometimes they play like PS2 games and Fluffle Puff, you can load your own on an sd card… it just ain’t the same.
-
@zeldatra For some reason I stumble upon reviews of those emulation machines and even now they are not always delivering the proper performance to even run NES games at a smooth performance. PS2 games, even PS1 and Dreamcast are a joke. There are only few exceptions where they run well enough for an enjoyable experience. The famiclone I had in the 90s was a weird "handheld" one. It was a big black "Game Gear"-like case without a screen that plugged directly into a AC/DC adaptor and it needed to be connected with a RF coax cable to the TV. It really sucked as over time both power and TV plugs on it got loose.

Let’s say I have five million dollars, cash. Do I a) move into a house on stilts in the most expensive state in the country and declare bankruptcy in a year after being unable to pay property taxes, or b) just buy a bigger house in the DC suburb I already currently live in for one million and then still have four million to play with

@zeldatra Even at a 3% godawful return investment fund, you'd be getting 150k a year from 5 million.
Just invest it all in a low risk profile and pay a mortgage with the interest.
