So apparently Epic bought bandcamp just so they could wave it around in their lawsuits against other stores?

@anthracite do not eat hats while wearing the scarf or washing it?

@anthracite @Phorm "I have discovered truly remarkable boobs this margin is too small to contain.."

People make fun of LCARS from Star Trek TNG but it's just about as impenetrable as modern smartphones at this point..

Stupid physics thought of the evening

If a spacecraft aimed an IR laser at another at the *exact* frequency of it's normal thermal radiation... would the laser be noticable because it's coherent or invisible in the background?

Hmm. Games that are marked as "Unsupported" on the Steam Deck do sometimes still work! Apparently for Valve unsupported means "you have to fiddle with this at all".

A bit more strenuous than I was expecting.

WOBBLE THAT TOGGLE

the rather more important partially saved PDF I was working on, not so much

Apparently Windows 10 got slightly smarter when I wasn't looking. It did a forced update (boo) but then my unsaved text files were still there afterwards (yay?)

@Phorm masto squashed those down even farther is the thing :) It's a mite or tick of some sort, not sure what. Squash it and move on, you're fine. If you've been outside recently and are feeling paranoid maybe give yourself a once-over for hitchhikers. this one particular one if it's a tick hasn't fed, the abdomen is too short. IMO it's *probably* a mite? but that's as far as I can guess.

@Phorm definitely not one of those no! I did brain fart - ticks have ,8 legs- but I don't think it's one anyway

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm but it looks like it has 8 legs? so not a tick or anything likely to harm you.

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm let me just pop the roo and store in a corner..

anyway if you could throw the full size pics on Dropbox or something it'd help

@Phorm how big is it?

@makyo *leaves crate of hugs available*

it's never long enough but this one seems particularly unfair given the last year for you :/

@JulieSqveakaroo @anthracite If it's a known number you can whitelist it in most phone's Do Not Disturb setting so only that number will ring. If not...cue the monty python sketch :/

@JulieSqveakaroo your mistake there is not just hanging up on them very quickly. but yes I have my phone on silent a lot because so...much..spam..

Randomly reminded that during my last ER visit a nurse asked "so how're you doing today?" in the making-conversation since

it took less effort than I was expecting not to say "What do YOU think?!"
