Needles make me faint. They don’t hurt too much, but… If I see one going in, the next thing I generally see is people crowded around trying to revive me. Hell, I just started to see stars! I’m lying down, for eff sake! It’s not blood either, I’ve been first on the scene a few times now and given first aid to some pretty messed up injuries. I had a headache injection once, and the doctor mixed the drug with a giant needle as a stir stick, and he didn’t even get the real needle out before I was face down on the floor.

The magic eye thing is my superpower. Takes me less than a second. If it helps, many of them are so terribly done it still takes me a second to figure out what they were trying to draw.

(It wasn’t a sailboat.)

The A&W veggie burger is just as good. It’s funny to order it with bacon, (not a vegetarian, just like to moderate beef.) I’ve had a Beyond Meat burger, but it was from a cafeteria that clearly didn’t know how to cook.

Lemmy IS the sub-community! I suspect that you and I would have at least a few disagreements then! Hah!

I liked the variety and sheer volume of content on the other one, but I have had a lot less of those horrible interactions on Lemmy. I kind of like it being small town.

Matt & Steve’s spicy pickled beans. So good! Whole jar down the hatch, one sitting.

I’m not frugal, just a cheapskate. I have an i5 NUC that I got for 225$ Canadian, so like 16$ USD… (I exaggerate.) I got an old 1080p projector from an Electronics Recycling in town for 125$ CAD, and a receiver at an auction. No remote and the HDMI in was busted, 40$. So I used a USB sound card with optical out. (Another 40$.) Speakers from goodwill. The wall I project to is already white. I have an Ikea Kallax with the receiver and the projector right behind my couch. Speaker wire is scrap cat5 cable from work. The subwoofer has an annoying buzz at the moment, but it was 20$ from Goodwill, so… Otherwise, it’s big, bright, loud. I cobbled it together over a few months, but it’s a great setup and very cheap.

I just did three nodes this evening from 8.4.1 to 9, no issues other than a bit of farting around with my sources.list files.

Not noticing anything significant, but I haven’t tried the mobile interface yet.

Not stupid at all. I think I read that Disney has something like that for charging communications equipment at the parks. (I could be remembering wrong, I am internet brain-addled.) You know the crazies would hate it, though. Smart money says that there’s an entirely port-free iPhone in the next five years.

I like the infinite playlist on Lemmy. Lots of good stuff there!

This guy. He’s right.

A good taco. Actually, I think the enchilada guy was right. What he said.

Be in Siberia, Alaska, NWT, maybe inside a meat locker. Then head in her direction. Then leave her alone!

Would’ve: fine. Would have: fine. Would of: me go mental! Why do people do this?! Argh!

What’s the most niche Lemmy community you subscribe to? (Mine is https://lemmy.world/c/compactphones )

That Pac Man isn’t eating pellets, he’s eating burritos, but because if you look at a burrito face on, it kinda looks round, and the graphics at the time were so limited… Pac Man is secretly shilling Mucho Burrito (or whatever your local Mexican fast food joint of choice is.)

Cantook used to be called Aldiko, and it was literally the first ebook Reader I ever got for Android. I don’t know if it’s the best, but it opens epubs and lets me set dark mode and use the volume buttons as page turn, and doesn’t gum up e-ink with animations, so it’s ideal for the Hisense. I don’t know why it only has 2/5.

Climbed a tree, tried to jump to the next tree. Failed. Fortunately, I snagged a wasp nest on the way down. Nothing broken, anaphylaxis. Not breathing sucks. (I lived.)

I always wanted to try catfish, and there was a restaurant I really like that does everything else really well, so I tried it and… Nah. Tasted like fishy dirt meat. I’ve had bad duck, too.

I have a Hisense A5 that’s a crap phone, but Cantook side loaded and it’s the best e-reader I’ve ever owned, bar none. I can use it for podcasts too, although I usually just use my regular phone for that these days.
