Meeting a (semi-)famous person isn't how I expected it. In my case, I was a few feet away from them and was going to say something, but I just sort of realized that I didn't actually have anything to say to them other than "enjoyed the show" or whatever. They weren't performing then, so, like with any stranger, there was no connection, even though I'd listened to them for hours by that time. I even saw them walking on the street, a block away, a few minutes later, and almost called out, but stopped myself thinking to myself, "they don't know you." It was an odd experience.

here's a thing I was interested in lately for no reason in particular https://nuclearwarsimulator.com/screenshots/

@tsturm that's neat. what process makes that?

tried making "pretzel bagels". basically, modified the pretzel recipe I had done before, but just made hoops instead of the pretzel "knot"... apparently the way I made the hoops isn't typical: you're meant to poke a hole into a ball and then widen the hole, which makes more sense, honestly. The way I got the gluten stands to go more in the shape of the bagel is cool though

(no pics because they kinda look shit even if I'm still proud of em)

@freemo
yep, was getting several 500 errors just composing a toot, before posting, then it resolved in a few minutes. a separate time I saw the same 500 errors, then refreshed and saw a warning page, though I didn't note down what it said (sorry)

sometimes I forget that most of the people living today probably wouldn't be here if not for artificial fertilizer.

@lucifargundam oh, I first compiled a Linux kernel years ago. That's super simple though - they have menus and it's really well documented. I usually don't bother now since the only kernel features I f**k with are modular anyway.

I'm not especially good with my hands, so fiddling with those wires was genuinely challenging for me.

I somehow didn't realize this movie is only from 2000. I thought it was older since classic films translate to "old movie" in my head

been trying to find a copy of this dang song for hours since it got stuck in my head! basically the only song I remember from Pokemon other than the theme songs

I terminated a network cable for the first time! I feel like I just completed some kind of geeky rite of passage

@valleyforge why even

Happy #EarthDay2022!

@soup_reviews I'm pretty sure this is a metabolism... so, you just want to be fed?

I walked around my neighborhood and saw three toads, in three separate locations within the span of about five minutes, and I wasn't even looking for them, so I'm pretty chuffed just now.

How are you?

@worldsendless aye, there's the rub. I've often thought we could really improve traffic situations if students had more self-directed education with flexible start times rather than the factory-like scheduling we have now

@worldsendless depending on where you work, you can have a more relaxed start, traffic-wise even if not WFH. I played around with going to work earlier and later than the common herd just for this reason
