nice, gonna have to try that

Headless Steam? I didn’t know this was a thing. Gonna look into that!

edit: Does playing games put a significant load on the server? Wondering if my N100 may not be up to the task.

Are you me? I SSH into a VM on my home server from my phone via tailscale while I’m out and about. Just because I can. I love the internet! The stuff it enables not always, but the thing itself is amazing and so fun to play with.

Very accurate. The other day my partner walks in.

her - What are you doing?

me - reading about how to prepare acorns for cooking

her - huh, ok *walks away *

I think it went something like : See tree > acorns! > can you eat acorns? > look up acorns > spend 30 minutes reading about preparing and cooking acorns > Forget original thing I was going to do

The answer is yes they can be eaten but you have to soak them to remove the tannins. Then grind into a flour. Use for various recipes.

Check out youtube. I found a bunch of good videos about guitar setup. Having your guitar properly set up goes a long way in making learning and playing much more enjoyable.

I was mainly joking, I’m definitely over it.

Maybe. I’ve wondered if I’m on the spectrum. Either way that teacher was definitely wrong.

mutters to self don’t take the bait

When I was in third grade I had an argument with my teacher who told me that insects were not animals. I was really into nature documentaries and books at the time and I knew that insects were in the animal kingdom. I remember going home and being really mad about it. That really soured me on school for the rest of my life. I’m still bitter about it!

I was terrified for years that I might get transgendered! Thank you Mr Trump for saving us! 🙏🙏

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I’ll definitely look into these.

The youtube version is less insidious than the Flash version which would loop infinitely.

Today I learned that badger badger badger is 22 years old. This has been stuck in my head for over two decades!

A friend told me that I was the most stoned person he’d ever met that doesn’t smoke weed.

Thanks for the recc. I’ve used syncthing for syncing my phone with my PC and it works great. Though sync is not quite what I want since any file deletions on the PC get propagated to the folder on the server. Though maybe there is a way to change this behavior in syncthing?

Never heard of of Kopia. Will check it out.

This why I dominate pub trivia night!

I fell in love just reading that. Tell me more about the coelacanth!

“Maybe we should describe bacteria by their individual features and give that group a name”

We already do that. The function and genes of bacteria are what defines a bacterial species (or genus, family, or order). I do agree that the Wikipedia definition of “species” doesn’t strictly apply to bacteria due to asexual reproduction and HGT. But it is still a useful tool for classifying bacteria.

Giving it a name makes talking about the organism easier. If I know that a person is infected with Staphylococcus aureus I know that the characteristics and treatment are going to be very different than if they were infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Giving it a species name is a lot easier than saying they are infected with a coagulase positive, gram positive coccus.

My girlfriend and I followed the stinkymeat and stinkyfeet projects eagerly anticipating each update. The feet one was especially horrifying. I’m surprised he didn’t end up in the hospital.

I also feel old
