Well, we ended up making an offer on a flat. It’s a duplex on the top floors of an 18 story building, with a parking spot, the main bedroom and bathroom on the top floor, 2 more rooms on the bottom floor, and a nice big sundeck with an amazing view.
In the end, we’d rather have a really cool flat than a « meh » house! It’s on the higher range of our budget, but by the end of the week, we should have confirmation it’s ours, meaning you might see a new studio in 4 months or so!
@mrpablington for our shared game the BF and I are continuing #KirbyAndTheForgottenLand - since I beat the the original #legendofzelda im not sure what my next solo game should be. If I continue with Zelda I might skip Link's Adventure. If I'm being smart, I'd pick up where I left off in #soma but I'm also tempted to dig my backlog hole a bit deeper and order #supermariowonder
@mrpablington@Azurakumo the Legend Of Zelda - which I plan on beating this weekend for the first time in my life, so be on the lookout for a #OffTheBacklog post soon!
@thelinuxEXP thanks for making the video. It’s encouraging to see that this is possible despite zero help from apple, but it’s also discouraging to think that we are still so limited in choices for desktop arm outside of Mac OS. I have a Samsung Galaxy Go & Linux is even less of an option there than on my arm Macs. Windows is so disappointing on Arm that I’d say arm chromebooks are the second best to Mac OS. In my Galaxy Book chrome or even android would be so much more usable.
Doh! I grew up in #Utah and somebody just pointed out to me (today) that "Deseret" means "honeybee" (from the Book of Mormon -- the religious book, not the Broadway play). #beekeeping#bees#honeybee 🤷
@ai6yr Utah has its share of reused names from New York (boy did ppl like naming places after places), a city or two named to gain favor in DC (see Utah’s struggle for statehood) and TONS of conlang stuff like Deseret, Kolob etc. Sometimes it feels like living in a sparsely populated religious theme park.
So, I just made some fudge from a recipe that says to chill it once poured into a greased pan.
Given feedback on the fridge video... do y'all just never ever do that in Europe? Because, yeah, the little red fridge would not handle that well at all but I got a lot of folks being like "well, duh, you just don't put warm things in the fridge, everybody knows that" in the comments.
We don't know that because - get this - our fridges can usually just handle it!
@TechConnectify I put warm things in my fridge frequently and without any really obvious problems. From my food handlers permit I recall ice baths as the step before putting warm things like soup in the fridge to minimize their time in the “danger zone”. Perhaps an ice bath would be a good idea for a fridge that can’t handle a large warm item?
Leaving for a long overdue #vacation early tomorrow so any posting will likely be images over 9 days in southern #Utah.
We’ve been married for nearly 15 years but never took a honeymoon, so this is sorta it now that we’re empty nesters. The schedule is relatively fluid, taking it day by day, with St. George as our “base camp”. The entire trip is inspired by this amazing video as we enjoy hiking & haven’t been to Utah yet.
@kevinctofel I’ve made this drive about 14 times so far this year. I always appreciate the beauty and can say it’s worth revisiting since each season, each type of weather and each time of day shows it in very different ways. I’m told the drive to St George “the back way” north of Mesquite is also very beautiful and I look forward to trying that out soon.
If nothing else, Mastodon seems to be pretty convincing evidence that an edit button can work. I'm not seeing many cases of it being abused the way many worried it would be.
Bad actors are the problem, not the tools. Get rid of the bad faith people, and we can have nice things.
@mattblaze and edit feature with git style history / diff seems pretty low risk to me. Especially if masto clients made it very clear when a post has been edited
