The film Click always makes me cry. You know, the comedy where Adam Sandler has a magic tv remote? I’m not gonna go into too much detail on which scene; spoiler tags don’t seem to work on my Lemmy reader, so I won’t know if I’m doing it right. I’m just going to say it’s the scene where he has an important message to deliver to his son. Gets me every time.

My wife and I have discussed contingency plans for what to do if there’s an afterlife. If one of us ends up in a good place and the other in a bad place, we’re both determined to do whatever is necessary to meet in ideally a middle place or whichever place will take both of us otherwise. If we become spirits that walk the earth unseen by mortals, we’ll meet in the desert where we had our wedding. If we are forced to reincarnate, we will attempt to bargain to reincarnate as the same species within a small enough geographical distance that we can likely meet again.

Smokeless tobacco placed under the lip for the nicotine to be absorbed by the gums. If you’re familiar with dipping tobacco (“dip”), it’s the same concept, but the tobacco is processed differently and is usually in little teabag-like pouches for convenience.

Care to elaborate?

The current trailer shows a much wider variety of flora, fauna, and landscape in the planetary scenes, and much higher graphical fidelity throughout. The only way I could see someone describe the first as “better,” is if they prefer the cartoony aesthetic that the game has slowly been leaning away from.

For something that old, you should try Q4OS. It’s a Debian-based distro like Mint, but it’s designed for stability while using the absolute minimum resources.

I recently installed it on a gateway laptop that’s at least 20 years old. I didn’t try streaming video or anything, but just opening the browser and looking at wikis was a perfectly normal experience. I dare say that laptop is working better now than when it had Windows XP.

It’s not for copyright infringement, it’s for patent infringement. Apparently when they made Legends Arceus, Nintendo patented the idea of pointing the camera at a monster and throwing stuff at it.

When I got my first Rubik’s cube, I never thought I’d ever be able to solve it in under a minute. I still can’t, because it turns like garbage, but I got a 30 second solve on my MoYu cube recently.

My understanding is that admins already have access to see who votes. This feature is to make then visible to everyone.

Yeah, but the LGBTQ people in those areas probably wouldn’t buy that stuff either for fear of being outed and ostracized.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but on PS5 you’ll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app.

That’s the way on PS4. PS5 automatically sends all photo and video captures to the PS app on your phone. They disappear after 14 days, so if you don’t save them within two weeks, then you have to get them with chat posts like PS4.

Technically, it didn’t print part of the instructions, it printed all of them.

They’re still around. They did a really good Karl Marx vs Henry Ford rap a couple of months ago.

Depending on what he did in the military, becoming a cop might have been the only decently paying job he was qualified for.

I prefer wired for almost all cases. The reasons are threefold:

1. It seems like the only Bluetooth headphones being sold lately are either tiny individual ear buds that are easy to lose or big bulky over-the-ear headphones. Right now, my preferred wireless ear buds are connected by wires to an around-the-neck device, and I’m worried I won’t be able to replace them easily when they finish falling apart.

2. Wireless ear buds are one more thing I have to charge. I already have to charge my phone, watch, game accessories, and vape. I don’t need one more battery to manage.

3. Latency makes it obnoxious to watch video with wireless audio.

Right now, the only use case for my wireless ear buds is when I’m walking the dog and don’t want to worry about the wire bouncing around and getting caught on my clothes when I’ve already got the leash in one hand. The only reason I use Bluetooth in my car is because my old car had annoying feedback when I listened on the aux cable while the phone was charging. I’m considering trying aux again in the new car because the latency on the car’s Bluetooth is even worse and I’ve found myself watching videos in my parked car while on break from work.

At this point, I could honestly see a library being better for fact-checking.

Sid Meier’s Pirates

I have dozens of thousands of hours logged in that game, all because it’s so easy to get in to and so hard to get out of. Just turn it on, do some pirate shit, then realize it’s been hours and you probably should have eaten or slept at some point.

I saw all the announcements for Sync, and remembered that Sync for Reddit was my main app a long time ago. Couldn’t recall why I switched to Infinity.

Downloaded Sync for Lemmy today, scrolled past about 4 posts before a box showed up that said “sponsored content.” Now I remember why I switched.

ymfah is a mad genius, and everyone should check out his other videos.

The point of the dual boot is that you still have everything from before. When you turn on the computer, it’ll ask if you want your old Windows or your new Linux.

I started a clean Windows install a few weeks ago. Upon first boot, I immediately deleted the program files folder for Edge in an act of defiance to Microsoft. I then realized I had no browser. Had to ask my son to put a Firefox installer on a flash drive for me.

3 days later, I found out that winget exists.
