Every time I look at the hive guards after killing them, I think how delicious they look.

I want to eat the hive guards. For democracy.

Having read a few “retired hero” things recently, home ownership and retirement would be nice.

Well, in homeopathy, like cures like, so probably more shit.

Yeah, always gotta check price history. Especially on Aliexpress.

Was looking at buying a particular retro game emulator handheld. Black friday pricing was the same as non-black-friday pricing, but it was “discounted” from $300, which it has never actually been sold at. Still bit the bullet and bought it because it did end up decently cheaper using one of their “spend $x and get $y off” coupons.

Is a cooking method from the 70s really… futuristic?

Not saying it isn’t worth it, though.

I have one.

I have only ever used the Samsung store to install a single official customisation app that I used once and never again.

As far as I’m concerned it only exists to occasionally annoy me with notifications about apps with updates that I installed from other stores.

Nice to see news from Thailand that isn’t about their shitty royals.

Is a funny joke, but Yoda speaks in a consistent OSV as opposed to SVO used in English. 🤓

I run Linux on an old gaming PC that I use as a file server / jellyfin server / homeassistant / probably a bunch more I’m forgetting, and that one rarely goes above 50W, lol. Haven’t tested it under full load, though.

Can’t speak for the most modern ones which I know are worse, but I was pretty surprised when I recently got a smart plug with power monitoring recently to find that my system with a 3080 (though, undervolted slightly), 16-core cpu, way too many peripherals, eight various drives, several small screens and dual monitors, only pulls 600-650W under full load.

I got the plugs to help me choose an appropriate UPS, and I don’t need one as powerful as I’d thought I would.

Boiled?! I’m not made of money.

When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

For me, a bad gallstone. Pain enough to make me throw up twice and they had to give me two doses of morphine before it worked well enough.

Been trying to remember if there’s an episode of a podcast I listen to that dealt with this (the modern mann, named for the host, it’s not male-focused, there’s a segment where Alix Fox talks about sex-related questions), and I think there’s a couple that are related but not precisely.

Communication is definitely one of the things I know have been brought up as very important. Setting expectations and boundaries.

This may be one of those topics I think you might have to browse reddit to get a lot of experienced/detailed answers for - /r/EthicalNonMonogamy would be the place to search, probably.

I was going to make a comment about the 1998 battlezone game, but I looked it up and it’s actually soviet moonbases, which makes more sense, really.

Musk certainly is confounding.

Yeah, I just set up a catch-all and use individual emails for everything, like the gmail + trick but without sites rejecting + characters occasionally.

Of course, I have several domains and one is a .rodeo that some older sites refuse to believe is a TLD so there’s that problem…

I highly recommend Dankmus on YouTube for anyone. You can listen on other platforms but they also have accompanying videos.

No wonder it took so long, must’ve been a nightmare to get every different app neutral, what with their differing weights.
