I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.
Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.
I love games, but even when I was playing a lot of multiplayer, it was never really a strong competitive thing for me. We hit our stride right after school because we were all spread out across the country, but nobody had too serious of a job or relationship to devote much time to. We would all lobby up, and just use the voice chat to bust chops and generally chat while the game was happening in the background.
Now, most of the people I played with don't really have games in their life anymore, so they're all at least 1 console generation behind. I'm married with 2 tiny children. I still play a bit, but it's not organized, scheduled time.. It's basically whenever I can squeeze in an hour or so (usually either after everybody goes to sleep, or before anybody else wakes up). For this reason, I usually play single-player games, or if I'm playing multiplayer, it's online with randos.
Now that you mention it I would REALLY like to get some of my friends playing Deep Rock. I've had nothing but good times playing with randos, but MAN it would be good to mess around with good friends.

I don't know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:
Ive never worked in Linux before
My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It's the first time I've ever not hated my printer
Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.
And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must've somehow preserved my printer settings.
Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the "dial-out" group and it worked like a charm.
I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, "turn right at the traffic light. There's corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you've gone too far."
This was my first time diving at Harvey's Lake. Vis was not great and the boat traffic FELT like it was too close, but it's not like I could actually see them. We did manage to recover a plastic ring and a small fan that must've fallen off of a boat at some point....
My process is unremarkable except I grind the night before. During the week it feels rude to run a grinder at 5:30 in the morning. On the weekends I still grind the night before because if I can wake up, quietly make coffee and enjoy a porch coffee or some video games before the rest of the family is up, that's a win.
I read the article expecting to find some mitigating circumstances, like maybe he was underage. Turns out he's 22 and that sentence includes the punishment for other swatting calls, and DDoS attacks against French government sites. This seems like a shockingly lenient sentence, but I have to acknowledge that almost everything seems shockingly lenient when you come from a place with the largest incarcerated population in the world.
3 years of community service and mandatory mental health care will probably help this dude a lot more than locking him up for 5 years with violent criminals.
As the title suggests, trying to find anything in someone else’s kitchen is almost always a frustrating experience. Everyone seems to have a different idea about where to put things.
The only reason I can't get behind gunner is having so few ziplines. I go between Engineer and Driller and when I see something out of reach I ask myself, "is this a 2 platform problem, or a 4 platform problem?" As a driller I just estimate the amount of drilling I'll get to do. I imagine as a gunner I would just be staring at all the things 8 feet up the wall and missing my other tools. That being said, I'm always so appreciative when somebody takes that burden to bring the shields and zip lines.

Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan.

Thanks! Yeah, I just meant it figuratively. We walked to the church bazaar and she's been gardening and trimming roses here and at her mom's. We have an almost 3 year old so even sedentary time is very active.
Might as well bring a wide-aperture LOK1, swarmer grenades, and gemini turrets so you don't even have to bother with using the aim-stick at all. You can just you one hand to shoot, and the other hand to eat sandwiches.

That's the thing I'm not sure of. Did they have CO2 scrubbers on board?or were they constantly flushing out the old air with fresh air? Cause if you have 200 hrs of time with the scrubbers, and 96 he's of air, you'll die of hypoxia. But if you have no scrubber and just constantly flush the air through, then when the air runs out it's much worse. My guess is they have CO2 scrubbers just cause it seems like a much easier way to carry enough breathing gas for that many people for that long. But I'm really guessing.

I've been talking to many people about the controversy with Reddit, why I left it and why I went onto Lemmy, Kbin and Mastadon instead. Some of my friends have commented that the control is still a problem as other platforms and it is all dependent on who owns the software, who owns the hardware, who are the admins, who are the...
But Lemmy and Kbin can't just "go corporate" because there is no Lemmy LLC with a CEO and shareholders. Lemmy is open source software that a whole bunch of people have been contributing to (although admittedly, I have no idea who's in charge of approving changes, or how that works). But one thing that MIGHT be true (I'm still figuring this out myself) is that if you and I are excellent coders and we know that lemmy 3.0 is nothing but a corporate cash grab, we can just go back to Lemmy 2.99, and Save As... call it Jemmy, and then anybody who follows us is part of our cool new anti-corporate club.
I think, maybe. I'm not actually sure at all.
The biggest corporatization risk I see is that if one instance, like lemmy.jrubal gets SO big and awesome and concentrated that it would be really painful to leave and start over, then whoever operates lemmy.jrubal would have the leverage they need to be greedy, until they make it painful enough that people leave.
I would normally test the crap out of these before posting since I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm on my phone and mostly busy at the moment. Sorry if it doesn't work.
I'm the problem. As feared I fudged it up as I was rushing to type it up on my phone. As @CoderKat mentioned, the problem with typing it out as /m instead of using @, is that you have to manually enter the visible text in [ ] and the hyperlink in ( ). I got the hyperlink correct and beefed it on the visible text.
