Seems it's been almost exactly 8 years since I first played Minecraft... I wonder if there will ever be another game that will give me so much fun for so long... and then become boring and kinda painful to think about after a few years.
Me: Gods, I miss Minecraft sometimes, wonder what's new since I last played.
Microsoft: We have Microtransactions now!
Me: Absolutely nothing!
I just had the idea that I should commission a banner for my (ever more firmly planned) #Zelda 
streams...
Like, many games are 480p (or 160 or 240, which scale up to 480), so I'd have 240 pixels left at the bottom if I stream in 720p. Perfect place for some custom #art, no?
Any suggestions for artists who have open #commissions?

Smh the media is bad portraying hacking, Boost to show people what real hacking looks like
I know it sounds weird, but today really smells like a Fall Sunday!
OMG (Oh my Gandalf), I almost missed #HobbitDay!
Happy Birthday, Bilbo & Frodo! 🎉
bros, gym, showers (not sexual. Like. AT ALL. SUPER NOT GAY!!!!)
Today I saw - and sadly heard - the gym shower equivalent to "Two bros chilling in a hot tub 5 feet apart".
These two bros - both still wearing their undies! - were showering on opposite ends of the shower room while having a shouted conversation over the sound of the ventilation and the showers.
I had to leave and wait for them to finish, because I couldn't hear the podcast I was listening to anymore over their shouting...

Good morning!
Don't forget to to kick ass, break down structural oppressions, do mutual aid, have pancakes, be queer, do crimes and punch fascists.
I've been trying more #vegetarian bread spreads, and there's this quite delicious red bean purée, it tastes like a very (VERY!) mild chili sin carne.
... and for some fucking reason it's called "Indianer Bohnen Aufstrich"? Literally "American Indian Bean Spread".
Like... why? It's made in Austria!
Finished #RecordOfASpacebornFew by Becky Chambers last night, a really GREAT BOOK!
Not as personal and intense as her last one, but larger in scope and again so VERY HUMAN!

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like "wow this is delicious and affordable" and I'm like "thank you for supporting my small independent business"
Has anyone ever forked #git? Like, gave it a sensible CLI?
Sadly that is literally impossible to search on the internet for :(
All I find are GUI clients...

humble bundle, region locking, irony
a bundle of banned books
banning one of the books in the bundle
Sorry for the repost, had to make a slight correction 😆
I really don't know what they thought when designed this doorbell/intercom/opener thingy...
It only lets me talk to the person at the door and/or OPEN the door when
a) they pressed the button long enough for the bell to complete it's "ring" melody
b) they didn't press another button afterwards!
So when the mail delivery person rings at more than one flat, only the last one rung can actually open the door, and only if they didn't let go of the button "too early"...
Very annoying!
science literacy, condoms, sex
And I failed here, myself, the ACTUAL number is 98%!
So only TWO couples out of a hundred would get pregnant!
science literacy, condoms, sex
I recently read a post somewhere that said "Condoms are only 95% effective, that means if you have sex 20 times you WILL get someone pregnant."
That doesn't sound right...
And it wasn't! The "95% effective" is measured over a YEAR, not for every single time one has sex!
Out of 100 couples who use condoms ALL THE TIME, 5 became pregnant OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR!
That's still not great, but far from the "might as well not use condoms" the original post implied.
