This is the sad be-coned face of Lord Butterscotch, who nonetheless has nibbled and pooped under his own power and is coming home in about an hour

@kusuriya There's a cynical part of me who tends to think preppers will prepare rich resource caches for harvesting by the folks who actually band together to rebuild.

@annika just another day in paradise

I've been idly considering getting a pair of Crocs as house shoes. It just occurred to me that I could 3D print gewgaws and charms for them. This is a troublesome realization

After a couple of weeks of puttering with these little tamagotchis, I think I can receive but no one's getting what I send.

Likely because I'm just using the stubby antennas that came with the boards and having one in an upstairs window in my house isn't good enough. 🤷‍♂️

Considering whether I want to fall down the Big Antenna rabbit hole

What I really kinda want to see in a style network is like QWK packets from ye olde BBS days. Connect up, download a compressed message bundle, peruse offline, reconnect to upload responses

@socketwench wait a minnit, i think i see what you did there

I have incurred a minor injury from a yo-yo

Booted up my old Dell laptop with Windows and its fans sound like waves at the beach. I have no idea what it's doing

I'm tempted to pave over Windows with a Linux on this machine. But, it's the last Windows machine in the house and I'm trying to keep it running in case of Windows emergency

@j12t Those two things often end up being nearly the same 😅

@bitprophet Yeah, I've had more than one occasion where some random bit of hardware or firmware flasher would only really work on Windows :(

Sorry bluesky is down guys, it was me, I decentralized too hard
