I hope not. We already have a serious mouse problem as it is.

Of course. He headbutts everything though so it’s nothing special

He LOVED the box.

Don’t you know? About the bird?

Man, that’s hella unfortunate.

I came back from vacation in January this year to find my meter box full of water. The half century old PVC line supplying the house from the meter finally gave in. Needless to say the city couldn’t do anything about it since it was on my side of the meter. Five grand later, and now I’ve got a new PEX line. Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again in my lifetime and it’ll be the next guy’s problem in ~40-60 years.

The city was aware of the leak, and even though I never sent them proof that the leak was fixed they gave me credits for December and January that made it so I didn’t have a water bill in March and April came in at around 30 bucks. Doesn’t really offset the cost of repair that much, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.

Jesus, and last month, my wife smelled gas by the back porch. I leaned over to the pipe running from the ground into the house and smelled it. Then I saw where the years of water pooling in the flower bed rusted the cast iron line through. Called the gas company, but they were happy to move the meter from the back side of the property up the the back porch for free. So hopefully THAT’S good for another several decades too.

This after having to have two very big and very dead oaks cut down over the last couple years.

Still beats having a landlord by about a thousand miles.

I gave my brother my Sandy Bridge laptop that got me through college. New battery and charger and it’s all set. The 1366x768 resolution doesn’t render pages very nicely anymore, though.

Jellyfish Jam of course.

What song is that?

My wife’s 2019 16" MPB is running pretty great. Probably got another 5 years of life left in it. She uses it to watch YouTube and play Sims 4.

My 2016 Acer Aspire V3-372T is hanging in there running Debian. 60 FPS YouTube videos are getting to be too much for it anymore. I may have to put the old girl to rest one of these days.

But hey, it does play Minetest pretty flawlessly.

This reminds me of when RTGame played Cities Skylines using a world map mod and made the island of Great Britain the landfill.

I have one that takes AAA’s. I power it with good old nickel rechargeable batteries.

We need to normalize things taking standard cell batteries again. When these bespoke batteries fail and nobody manufactures them anymore, the whole device is e-waste unless you can rig something up.

I’ve got a “portable” CD player from 1991 that takes six AA batteries. It also accepts a 9 volt barrel plug. And I still use it to play my CDs sometimes.

I remember this from a high school science class. There was a girl in my class who was absolutely disgusted and mortified with the idea that grasshopper parts could be in bread. Maybe I’m wrong, but I reckon there’s probably a difference between cooked prepackaged foods and fresh raw foods.

The idea of bug parts in food doesn’t bother me much. Just a little protein. When I was a teenager during harvest, I’d climb on the trucks and stick a handful of wheat germ in my mouth when we were finished harvesting a field. I love the flavor and texture of wheat germ. Naturally, my favorite breakfast cereal is bran flakes.

Side note: if you do this, make sure they’re golden brown, not pink. The pink ones are covered in poison.

The journey to the center is pretty intense. She loses her wings on the way in and dies after laying her eggs.

iirc, the figs sold commercially were selectively bred to self pollinate. I think the FDA or USDA would have a major problem with dead animals in fruit, even if they’re supposed to be there naturally.

Don’t start shit you can’t finish, spider.

I hate to be the good time ruiner, but unlike -40, it’s not on the nose.

Still, really cool that it’s as close a conversion as it is.

This was more of a one-off. My wife wanted the projector for other projects, but she was testing it out here. We usually throw these vids up on the TV, which is just out of reach for the both of them. But the TV is only 65". The projection was probably close to 12’ diagonally.

Anyway, to answer your question directly, none.

Still rocking my Nintendo Wii! I mostly play GameCube games on it, but I do have Brawl, Mario Kart, Skyward Sword, and Galaxy 1 & 2. For GameCube, I have Sunshine, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, NFS Underground 1 & 2, Double Dash, Thousand Year Door, Melee, Luigi’s Mansion, Animal Crossing, and Burnout.

It’s also got Homebrew so I play SNES on it too. Been running Earthbound lately. I loved Undertale, but all this time, I’ve never played Earthbound, despite knowing about it for the last 20 years. I even snagged NES Monopoly, which is the only way I could get my wife to play Monopoly with me lol

Anyway, I needed batteries for my keyboard and it takes some 8 hours to charge them (good old nickel batteries, hey?) so I robbed the batteries out of my Wiimote. I need to put them back already.

Help me out. What’s the tune? Because I can’t figure it out lol

Words like comeuppance and conniption? Bunghole? Squeegee? Hoedown? Poppycock?

English has words I’m sure English speakers find funny/ridiculous.
