@scribus I'm often stumped by the simple cross-section of a circle. Every time I saw off a thick branch or root I think that isn't that bad until I reach the middle, where it's suddenly harder to move material.

@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,

@scribus Sounds like a job in multiple turns. I don't think doing such a thing in one go with standard equipment is possible. One has to need to use a smoking chamber of a butcher.

@scribus The series takes place about 100 years before The Phantom Menace. This epoch is called The High Republic and the series is about at the end of this era. There are comics and books take place even 100 years earlier than that. Those books are very different in tone than The Acolyte where there is obviously a mental shift taking place within the Jedi Order. I totally get that Star Wars looks kinda same-y. The game The Knights of the Old Republic was a lot earlier and shows not much of a visual difference to 1000 years later. I totally agree with you that there is some kind of stagnation within that universe.

@scribus I have had a “background check” in progress for two and a half years at DoorDash because of an error on their backend that nobody has ever been able to help me with.

@scribus Hmmm... An underwater adventure about merfolk having a great fest with food and games, as well as a battle tournament. However the tournament is disrupted by a ghost crab and kills off or scares off combatants of the tournament to death.

@scribus Never watched Office Space. It's a thinly veiled horror show of work life. Season one is about the struggles of a changing industry and a new employee getting in the crossfire during that time, season two continues that but with a ton of self doubt.

@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.

@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 PC parts costs are really out of whack! I wanted to upgrade my PC 4 years ago and I'm still limping on with my 2017 old rust bucket. The same holds true with my deteriorating laptop. Even used prices aren't what they used to.

@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

@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.

@scribus Hmm.... Fatty fish. Eating fish skin is often icky, especially when they aren't cleaned very well from the scales. I for one like eating Soused Herring, also known here as "Matjes" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soused_herring). They are certainly always with skin. In my past I had carp with skin on Christmas and it was always a gamble if there was a scale or not. If I got one the eating experience gets 100 times worse when there is a hard and unexpected crunchy object slicing the tongue. I'm exaggerating a little bit but it ain't fun.

@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.

@scribus he declared *march 31st* to be the scary trans day every year going forward, it just happened to be that the first year it happened the 31st falls on Easter

@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.

@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 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.

@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.

@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.
