This could work. I was going to posit some fan casting, then I realized that literally every actor I was coming up with for the local Mulder was in their 50s or 60s.
I like Memmy well enough when I'm determined to use an app. Still holding out hope that a kbin one materializes.
Doom scrolling works fine, and discoverability is okayish. The search function mostly seems to bring up communities, so that's kind of what you'd need.
After taking that pic, I got done cleaning the CBM. The entire Body, Board and keys all look a lot better now and im glad to say that after all of that, it turned on no problem as well! (Before and after)...
And for the final thing I’ll definetly wanna fix with no clue how, is that the Monitor is oddly Zoomed out. The text is all further back then it should be making for a weird look. Old Burn-in from when this thing was actively used also assures me of that. No clue how one can fix that, any suggestions?
Most CRT displays have potentiometers, adjustable by screw or knob, to control horizontal and vertical size. As always, be careful with flyback transformers, etc., so as not to die.
Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I'm including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he'd be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he'd be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.
This happened last month. On January 6, Ingenuity flew 40 feet (12 meters) skyward but then made an unplanned early landing after just 35 seconds. Twelve days later, operators intended to troubleshoot the vehicle with a quick up-and-down test. Data from the vehicle indicated that it ascended to 40 feet again during this test, but then communications were ominously lost at the end of the flight.
I have a leap v1 I got about 5 or 6 years ago that was reupholstered by a local used office furniture place. I keep using cheap cylinders, so I've changed that out a couple of times, and I changed out the original armests about two years ago (bought from Crandall for that). All in, including the original purchase, I'm at maybe $350 over the entire time I've owned it, and the structural parts and new upholstery are holding up perfectly. The tag on the bottom says it is 22 years old.
The other side of my home office has a HM Mirra v1 I got for free when they shut down my employer's local office, and my wife uses a Steelcase Gesture in the "study," which is to say the nice home office that doesn't have two 3D printers, a soldering station, half a dozen keyboards, a dog crate, and an elderly cockatiel. My 10yo uses a godawful "gaming chair," but it's pink and she's ten, so ergonomics are barely a blip on her radar. She has a standing offer to take the Mirra.
So it's expensive, wears quickly, has QA issues, and they slow play warranty claims? Glad you ended up with a chair you like, but this is not inspiring confidence. :-)
I don't hate it, but 50% or more of the average article's value is in the headline. They could go to lorem ipsum text and have minimal reduction in quality.
Moving this out of the contrext of the onion pushes it from “haha, WTF?” to just “WTF?”.
Completely agree with this. If you don't follow the specific artist, and I don't, it just looks like a right-winger cartoonist clumsily satirizing "wokeness" with a bad pastiche of an R. Crumb or Charles Burns "comix" style. Maybe the joke's on me for not going another layer deep and seeing how vapid the "satire" is and realizing it's meta, but the creatives on the American right are not known for their subtlety.
That's what I'm saying. I ate it too, or at least took a bite and started chewing before trying to figure out what was off here.
EDIT: LOL, now I have no idea whether I misread, or if @MajorHavoc edited their post to change "hate" to "ate". Probably the former, though I stand by my opinion that The Onion's best gags are always the headlines. 🤣
I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that’s the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.
I can't really imagine the appeal unless it was a standalone device. The tactility and self-contained nature is the only thing that would make it feel like something "real enough" to bother with.
cultural things that similar-sized other towns don’t have
Exactly. Similar sized. College towns punch above their weight when compared to their population peers, but that only goes so far. I have no doubt Pullman, Washington is cooler and more cosmopolitan than Walla Walla (despite the presence of two very small colleges), but it's no Seattle, for good or for ill, depending on your perspective.
Is "college town" agreed to be a denigration? I'd take it as a fairly complex descriptor that could be good or bad depending on your situation. I loved living in college towns. I'm not desperate to move back to one, but I could easily see myself retiring in one, and if you want a small town with more cultural and sporting options and a better educated populace than its peers, then putting up with some rowdy undergrads and a quirky mix of available businesses could be a perfectly sensible tradeoff.
I am a left-leaning suburbanite dog-loving dad who fancies himself a versatile and practical can-do type who prefers function to form, but also has a little disposable income and sometimes thinks jeeps look fun. Subaru marketing execs were damn near salivating.
There are so many things being tracked all the time in the game for puzzles and the power arm. Yet despites literally tracking sunshadows for some puzzle completion for example it runs almost smoothly with (in my 170h) no crashes. On a 6 yo portable console??...
Okay, my ten year old loves these two games and has occasionally mentioned people playing them on emulators. She has no complaints (possibly because she's ten), and TBH when watching her play on the living room tv they look... fine? What is so terrible about the way they run natively? Legitimately curious.
The Marvels is not bad at all. Better than Iron Man 2 or 3, Thor 2 or 4, Ant-Man 3, Black Panther 2, the Ultron movie, or any standalone Hulk movie (not entirely fair, I know), and equivalent to the "good" Ant-Man movies or GotG 2. It's also better than Captain Marvel, and Brie Larson is finally making the character her own. Good chemistry among the leads, the switching dynamic is visually interesting, and the entire cast brought in from Ms. Marvel remains endlessly enjoyable. The "need" to have watched everything is there but dramatically overstated in complaints I've seen.
Now, to be fair, the plot is too episodic and disjointed, and the villain is once again an underdeveloped cipher with tantalizingly nuanced motives that aren't explored, and the movie certainly is more cohesive if you've kept up with your homework. Honestly, though, if you watched Captain Marvel and caught the trailer for Ms. Marvel you'd be fine, though again, you'd be missing one of the more delightful (if still a bit uneven) recent Marvel projects.
The Office (US) could have ended with the proposal in the rain.
It probably should have ended with the wedding in Niagara.
It definitely should have ended when Michael left. Don't give me your Robert California bullshit either. The series was already on fumes and the last two seasons were garbage.
Before I begin- Again, please no medical advice or suggestions. I am going to the Mayo Clinic in March and I will get their advice and I am just going to ignore any medical advice posted, sorry.

I mean, it's unironically worth a try if you can try it risk-free. The munchies are a real thing, and many people find marijuana helps with nausea, though some find the opposite. Personally, though, smoking made me paranoid (I'm still VERY sure those two guys in Amsterdam were laughing at me, but wife is convinced otherwise), and edibles made me sleepy, not that edibles would be much of an option for you.
All that said, the only real medical advice is to keep getting medical advice. You're clearly not dealing with something normal, so keep an eye on it for your and your family's sake, but if it's not killing you, then maybe you just ride this thing out. I'm of a similar age, and while I don't have anything nearly as dramatic, dealing with the lifestyle changes forced by aging is just sort of our lot in life now.
Hang in there, FlyingSquid@lemmy.world. Rooting for you.
I'm 45, and I agree with both of you. There seems to be a bimodal thing with lots of folks who are still young enough to think that screaming THE TRUTH(tm) to everyone they encounter will be what fixes the world, but a very large chunk of active posters who actually want to communicate seem to be a bit older. My personal theory is that the API exodus left year gathered in a lot of people who had seen previous social media sites (e.g. Digg) blow themselves up, and that by definition will skew older.
Other than having mastodon integration and no app, kbin's end user experience is almost identical to lemmy, to the point where there's no real benefit in differentiating in a nontechnical discussion.
I have a lemmy.world account for kbin outages and app use, but there's no real need as long as federation is working.
Just finished up this one. No-stabilizers, handwired custom 98% layout. 3D printed case and feet, plate laser cut from 3.2mm Masonite, blank XDA laser dye-subbed in a Josefin Sans Medium font. Not exactly professional fit and finish, but it types nice with Box Jades, and ZERO STAB RATTLE! ZERO!!!
Thanks. I am overall very pleased with how it came out, especially on a budget. In particular, the layout is quite usable and versatile. Visually though, I've had to convince my brain that my hands are in the right spot. The left hand modifiers aren't actually too small or anything, but your hands are set up much closer to the left edge, even compared to a typical 1800 layout, so it's a mental adjustment.
I may or may not extend the keymapping out to include four spacebars and move some other bottom row stuff around, but that could just be that I got used to that layout on this one's immediate ancestor. I don't hit the wrong spot so much as forget that the spot I'm aiming for is now an Alt key.

Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?
To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)
