Never seen that in the USwith dogs, but I have seen it with cats. Sometimes an area will just have a cat that will bop around the neighborhood begging for food. A bar I frequented in my 20s had an outdoor seating area and I always enjoyed when the neighborhood cat swung by for a visit.
This old Korean MMO called Nexus TK. I think it was Nexon’s first game (Arc Raiders). Picked it up in like… 1997? I played it very heavily for a few years on and off. When I say heavily I mean like 4-5 hours a day. It got bad at some points. Got off of it at times but always went back. I still pop on every now and then just to say hi to the hundred or so people who still play.
Yeah this is one of those ones like:
She’s not wrong, but also, she can get bent.
It does however set a precedent for other celebrities and people going forward so I’m kinda with her on this one. If there’s one person who can make a stink about this and have it matter, it’s probably her.
It would have been better if it was one of the likeable celebrities. Like Keanu Reeves.
But I guess you take what you can get.
You know when you see an advertisement for a casino, and they have a picture of a guy winning money? That’s false advertising, because that happens the least. That’s like if you’re advertising a hamburger, they could show a guy choking. “This is what happened once.”

There was something I read once upon a time that was like:
F is how hot/cold people are C is how hot/cold water is K is how hot/cold matter is
I feel like that’s pretty accurate.
Where my Smart Launcher crew at? Usually you guys show up when it’s time to shit on Nova.
Anyway, if you like the features an ease-of-use of Nova, and you are looking for an alternative, Smart Launcher all day. A played with so many of the other launchers mentioned in this thread before I found SL, and it really feels like the best to me. But that’s just like, my opinion, man.
My wife and I were in the market for a new car and she faught me pretty hard on the Minivan. We wanted to go with a Honda and we needed something with a 3rd row because of kids and family. So we were between the Pilot and the Odyssey. We went to the dealer and climbed around inside of each car and pressed all the buttons to get an idea of what they are like. As we were leaving she was like “God Damnit… I love the Odyssey”
And that’s how we became Minivan people.
Fellow Ody driver here. Image means nothing to me. My car is a utility to get my family from spot A to spot B. The Odyseey does that in the best possible way. It’s comfortable, roomy, I can slide seats around, put up or down the 3rd row. I can fit suitcases and bikes in the trunk at the same time. It gets pretty good milage, and it’s a Honda so it should easily get well over 200k miles with basic maintenence.
I got a really good deal on a one year old model with the Sport trim at the dealership that they couldn’t get rid of because it wasn’t “new” and therefore the interest was higher. I just got the loan through my wife’s union and that problem was solved.
It’s “Sonic Gray” with the black rims and details. I threw some big magnetic flame decals on the back quarter panels just to let people know how serious I am about appearances.
Sometimes when we are in a rush to get somewhere, I flip down my sunglasses and say “I’m engaging sport mode” and turn on the sport mode and use the paddle shifters.
I fuckin love this thing.
I work for an org with ~1700 Surface Laptop 7 ARM deployed. They are actually really nice. Managing them with Intune is a breeze (including BIOS management), and Windows ARM is actually getting 3rd party app support now (Thanks, Apple!)
Yes, yes. Microslop, I know. But we are talking end user computing here.
“Onions make me sad, a lot of people don’t realize that. When I’m cutting onions, I’m sad. Because the plight of onions, it’s sad. But people don’t realize I’m actually crying - they think I’m just reacting.”

Joints look good! I would maybe look into cleaning the contact pads on the bottom of the cartridge though. It may work fine now, but those things can corrode and it looks like yours may have already started. A liitle preventative maintenance could extend the life by quite a bit.
Side note on soldering - isn’t it crazy how easy people make it look in YouTube videos and what not? Like, they always just heat up and flow so perfectly and so quickly on the first try every time. I guess it comes with experience. It took me a long time to get the hang of it, and I still can’t do what those folks do. Anyway, your solder looks great. Proud of you, too.
I’m doing my part!

It really whips the llama’s ass
It’s called Black Emperor and it’s awesome. It’s an “Indie Arcade Game” which is a thing that is starting to pop up, and I am here for them. I hated the direction that arcades were going in - which has been shitty phone games on gigantic touch screens.
Black Emperor is a game where you are a dude on a motorcycle, there is a throttle button, and the wheel to go up and down. The challenge is that the screen is moving along and you need to stay on it. Too fast, you die, too slow, you die. But you have to also stay on the path or you slow down. There are also dirt strips you need to boost through. It’s almost like a modern Excite Bike, but super challenging and awesome.
Oh, also the top front of the arcade cabinet has some big ass fans, and when you pick up speed they blow in your face. It’s sick.
The front fell off.
Putting your shopping cart up on the curb/grass at Costco.
Look. I know about the shopping cart return litmus test for humanity. And in my experience, at the average supermarket or shopping center or whatever, it’s usually not too bad. There are a couple of shit stains out there that leave their cart in a parking spot or anywhere else not returned.
But Costco? What the fuck is going on there? It’s like the wild-fucking-west. It’s lawless. I have seen people add to trains of carts stacked together in a parking spot. The curbs just have dozens of carts pushed up on them. It’s like some kind of broken window theory parking lot where normally decent people see the state of it and go “No order exists here, and I will treat it as such”
Return your fucking cart. It takes like 40 seconds max.
There was a post here somewhere about how younger generations are just using phones to make large purchases and it is baffling to us old folk. I felt so seen.
Like… If I am booking a flight, or a hotel, or buying an appliance, or electronic etc. That’s a computer purchase. I need multiple windows, tabs, and monitors. I need to be weighing options and doing research with side-by-side comparisons. I can’t do that on a phone. These younglings are doing stuff like that from a phone, and I can’t wrap my head around it.

Find your local tournament, get accepted by them. They will teach you new tech, be super friendly and accept you as one of their own. Then one of the TO’s will sexually harass and/or attempt to rape you. If it’s not a TO, it’s another member of the community.
Really weird and consistent shit.
