@astraluma yeah I enjoyed it and I like how instead of being the brainless non-stop action flick I expected, it was a thoughtful treatise on colonialism, moral ambiguity, and race relations

I'm baffled by people who completely missed the point to John Walker though, like they complained about how the new Captain America seemed like a bad guy and... yes? that's entirely the point?

(I do feel like they tried too hard to redeem him in the end though)

@metapianycist yeah there's the remains-into-synthetic-gemstones folks too, and also the remains-into-nutrient-pellets-for-plants folks

when I die I want to become a germanium

maintenant? more like mainte-not, am i right

Modern life is: trying to figure out what weird random thing is connected to a specific wifi access point, turns out it's my fucking water heater

Werner, on the other hand, did way better, and he even enjoyed being introduced to one of my neighbors and didn't freak out at all! He's gotten really mellow in his old age.

@djsundog How many people think The Monkees and The Partridge Family are actual bands?

And, going a bit further, Josie and the Pussycats

@zorinlynx Microcenter is still doing pretty well, at least, but yeah, the death of Fry's was a pretty big deal too

The tragedy of the billionaire Frenchman allergic to eggs: he can never have un oeuf

footage of the incident

So for a couple of years, Werner’s been having issues with the litter box; namely he’ll get into the box and then pee, then he thinks he’s done and starts to leave, then the poop starts coming out, leaving a trail from the litter box to wherever he’s going. Depending on how constipated he is the radius of impact can vary quite widely; sometimes he makes it all the way into my living room before it comes out.

In the new house I have a clear line of sight to the litter box from my desk and fairly often I can see when he’s doing this. When the poop starts to actually come out he pauses and clenches (quite comically) and if I see him do this while leaving the box I can rush over and either try to hold him in the box, or hold the litter scoop under his butt until he finishes, at which point he relaxes and runs on his happy little way.

Unfortunately, lately he’s gotten wise to this utter indignity, and he’ll make a token effort to push out a turd or two while I’m trying to keep him in place, then he relaxes and runs off... under a couch or my bed, where he finishes pooping.

@zorinlynx every few years someone reinvents the swamp cooler

Fiona's been especially frustrating about wanting to go outside despite having been an indoor cat for the last 9 years, so today I finally found her leash and harness and put it on her. She was so excited to go outside! Then she took two steps out the door, then a car drove by and she was NNNOOOOOOPE.

Mmm, my favorite flavor

The main difference between this and all the other firmware I could find is that configuring the key mapping is really easy, and its debouncing actually works.

It does require something with built-in USB host support like a Leonardo or a LilyPad. And since I'm using actual C++ flow control it does need a little more EEPROM space than most firmwares, but I mean, as long as it fits, right? You're not gonna be running an OS on this thing.

I was really annoyed at all of the Arduino-based DDR pad firmware out there so I ended up writing my own using modern C++ and what feels like reasonable software engineering practices. As a bonus it actually feels really precise. Check it out if you're at all interested. https://git.beesbuzz.biz/fluffy/DDRuino/
