IMHO no version of Tetris will ever top the OG green-n-gray Game Boy version, which was also over the top Russian kitschy. The music still loves rent free in my head, and the patterns in lieu of colors define the blocks for me.

The robot looks… determined.

My N810 was my single favorite piece of industrial design in a mobile device. Not perfect, and use cases moved on (to say nothing of the internals), but it was so unique and thoughtful and intricate without feeling overly fragile.

Well, if your dog is anything like mine, make sure you remember to pick up the clean and perfectly intact broccoli after they’re done.

I preferred Mepis. 😊

Great, but I don’t think that graph is showing any particular spike, just a nice and gentle upward trend in share. The article also overlooks that there is a certain element of Windows and MacOS computers being replaced by tablets and phones, while Linux is already an enthusiast choice on the desktop, meaning it will be insulated somewhat and gain market share through attrition.

On the plus side, Steam and Proton and maturing DEs/distros and enshittification of Windows certainly make Linux a much more viable “normie” option than it’s ever been. We’re a far cry from the CD-ROM of Red Hat that came with my “Intro to Linux” book in 1999 but couldn’t use my Winmodem or printer and really preferred to run XWindows in grayscale.

In the US, the AMA has always artificially limited the supply of MDs. Over the last century osteopathic medical schools basically adopted all the same philosophies of evidence based medicine as “regular” medical schools, maybe with a vestigial course or two on spinal alignment. Both have the same licensing requirements.

At this point, DOs in the US are basically just regular doctors with lower MCAT scores and undergraduate GPAs, and indeed, they basically fill the role of providing doctors to less lucrative specialties and regions.

You’re right, though the melodrama and swashbuckling of Space Opera definitely lend themselves more towards the soft sci-fi/sci-fantasy end of the spectrum. Sort of, “if the characters and plots don’t need to bear much relation to the real world, why should the setting?”

Also the only food whose squeak can give cheese curds or calamari a run for their auditory money.

In case you wanted to know, he’s a former executive for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans.

If they do, they’re called waders.

We lost our older guy a couple of weeks ago, and he hated them, as did our three other dogs over the last twenty years. The younger one and the new puppy didn’t seem to care that much, only getting a little jittery when we were outside and a particularly loud one went off.

3, but the pajamas erasure here is unfortunate.

Sorry, I’ve just seen this one often enough and seen the comments that I may have assumed too much. I’ll take my downvotes.

Yeah, yeah, stupid fat maga, whatever. Looks like they’ve both got a pretty big batch of laundry, and looking at the totality of the picture these are not likely to be wealthy people, and it being rural/suburban America, lord knows how far the laundromat is. This strikes me as unironically clever, and they’re both keeping that mower deck out of the landfill and travelling using electric power.

Looks like Teenjus to me.

Destiny Color Correction is all.

Oh, Peppa is a total asshat, but she’d generally have to eat shit in a way certain other kids’ animation asshats didn’t (coughcalilloucough). There was enough of old-school cartoon and comic strip tropes from Warner Brothers shorts and Peanuts that it wasn’t the worst show to endure.

Daddy Pig was pretty badass when the wolf family moved to town.
