@scribus Are you sure it's not Daft Punk emailing you because they're bored in their retirement?
-
@scribus Yeah. I would need a big CNC router and/or a medium-size laser cutter to cut down in labor time and to provide decent and repeatable quality. It could be done without those but it would be not economical.
-
@scribus i dunno but personally i think making fun of gluten allergies is much, much lower on the list of things i'd object to than, say, paying a random generic black guy to pretend to be Barack Obama, which disney channel also loved doing at the time.

@scribus Interesting. The dimensions of that crate is about the shape of two cubes stuck together. The shape doesn't lend that much for comics. I can imagine having 3 rows of comics in that box that are side-by-side that would approximately fill the crate's shape without major alterations. However I think that it might be too much. I think that producing these crates would be expensive as it needs a lot of manual labor. Also I have not the tools to make the crates efficiently and with quality that justifies the costs.

@scribus Little bit the heat but mostly my neighbours. In the last two weeks they have woken me up 10 times in the night (about 2-3 AM) thus I could not go to sleep again. My body is so f-ed up that I can only go to sleep between 10 and 11 PM.

@scribus I'll use a piece of black cardboard as a backing material like in the attached picture. I did the same with all my framed comics. The picture I want to frame is still being flattened. It has been shipped rolled up, so it'll take some time to straighten. I could make a passepartout but I don't like them as they need to overlap with the picture. I could buy a custom made frame but it costs 2.5 times as much as the closest off-the-shelf model. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875948

@scribus I think too, however this comes from China where manual labour is cheap. So who knows

@scribus I clean my brush thoroughly after brushing my teeth so it lasts quite a while. I change the brush when the bristles are bent enough that they impact the cleaning performance. A tooth brush lasts about 2 to 3 months. Is it too long? I don't know but it seems reasonable.

@scribus Yeah I didn’t even buy beer for my friends in college after I turned 21 as like a purely moral thing, don’t plan to do it here either
-
@scribus I had the same with ICQ. At some point they have changed the protocol again and my multi-messenger stopped working. Most of the contacts were "dead" and I talked to a few anyway. So I axed it with all the other instant messengers.
-
@scribus Well now I feel bad about having felt bad (and also upgrading my swears) so that's fun
-
@scribus BTW: The first episode of season 5 of Rick & Morty is also there on the channel. I watched the episode elsewhere but it's neat that they put it on Youtube for the exposure. Rick & Morty doesn't need that but Tuca & Bertie needs that as its style can be off-putting very easily.

@scribus Shooting with a Game Boy Camera is super hard. Because of the 2 bit depth you need to exploit natural strong contrasts. Also the resolution is so bad that you need to have a recognizable big shape in the foreground. Anything in the distance gets fuzzy. In that picture the pond and the trees are unrecognizable.
-
@scribus Yeah. I don't know how it has a nickname in Germany. I think it hasn't one. We just call it "Impfung" (vaccination).
-
@scribus imagine if every disaster movie or something had the President just living in a nondescript mansion between two skyscrapers with a statue of Bill Clinton instead of the Washington Monument, that's what the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is asking me to do.
-
@scribus Right at the beginning of the pandemic bike ownership spiked hugely here. I think that the long wait times are a result of the massive demand that roll over the available personnel. The more people using their (old) bikes the higher the probability something needs to be fixed, as in my case. I haven't used my bike for over 14 years because I had a car or I could use the bus and tram for "free" (paid with tuition costs for the uni).

@scribus I’ve always excelled at workplace leadership, which is strange considering how incompetent I am at producing, but some days I really wish I was still sitting at a seafood counter.

@scribus We live in a liberal area compared to the rest of Virginia outside of Richmond and Newport News, but like, that’s like saying Georgia is liberal compared to the rest of the Deep South if you know what I mean. So she talks about how she voted foe Biden to customers then gets upset with me when they yell at her. I tell her to stop talking politics at work then, and tells me she has a right to free speech. And I tell her “yes you do, but so do they” and she just… can’t grasp that. Then she complains to corporate because I “discriminated” against her over her politics. She’s genuinely incomprehensible.

@scribus i don’t work at this store anymore, I just fill in on the weekends because my replacement “fell” (I think she took a dive because when I worked with her she was always annoyed at having to do any work that I would normally do - now she’s always doing it) so I’ve been thinking about really gaying it up because of how many homophobes I apparently used to work with. Would like to see how they react to their “cool” manager being, like, a bigass gayzilla.
