That sounds fun. Now I want one, too.

Why do you need a Geiger counter? It looks like a cool device, but why is it EDC?

The food culture of Mexico is amazing, and if you’re eating at the right places there is usually no option but to speak Spanish! I’ve had to request “más picante” before, though generally that is at restaurants used to serving gringos. At tianguis or taco guys on the street there’s usually no problem getting the spice.

One of my proudest moments as a white dude who likes spicy stuff was when a buddy and I were hanging out with some local guys while on a trip to Mexico. I was just chowing down on some super hot salsa and one of the Mexican guys gets real excited and starts calling me “the blond Mexican”. I’m sure my wife is tired of that story, but I will continue to tell it to her for the rest of my days.

nice, gonna have to try that

Headless Steam? I didn’t know this was a thing. Gonna look into that!

edit: Does playing games put a significant load on the server? Wondering if my N100 may not be up to the task.

Are you me? I SSH into a VM on my home server from my phone via tailscale while I’m out and about. Just because I can. I love the internet! The stuff it enables not always, but the thing itself is amazing and so fun to play with.

Very accurate. The other day my partner walks in.

her - What are you doing?

me - reading about how to prepare acorns for cooking

her - huh, ok *walks away *

I think it went something like : See tree > acorns! > can you eat acorns? > look up acorns > spend 30 minutes reading about preparing and cooking acorns > Forget original thing I was going to do

The answer is yes they can be eaten but you have to soak them to remove the tannins. Then grind into a flour. Use for various recipes.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I’ll definitely look into these.

The youtube version is less insidious than the Flash version which would loop infinitely.

Today I learned that badger badger badger is 22 years old. This has been stuck in my head for over two decades!

A friend told me that I was the most stoned person he’d ever met that doesn’t smoke weed.

Thanks for the recc. I’ve used syncthing for syncing my phone with my PC and it works great. Though sync is not quite what I want since any file deletions on the PC get propagated to the folder on the server. Though maybe there is a way to change this behavior in syncthing?

Never heard of of Kopia. Will check it out.

This why I dominate pub trivia night!

I fell in love just reading that. Tell me more about the coelacanth!
