I make circuits for my day job and program (badly) in my (minimal) free time. Video games and board games are also my jam but I don't often have time to play.

whoever said on here that Nextdoor is basically a bunch of racist people saying someone "suspicious" walked past their front door was right

OK, how I am supposed to get over my Good Omens obsession when artists in the fandom keep doing such things ?! 😱 💕

Let's talk about a little relic that's hiding in your PC since ~1870.
The 'Bell' (BEL) character is a special character that makes your computer beep.
In DOS/Windows (yes even 10) you can type it using CTRL-G. Try it in your command prompt: echo ^G
On Linux/Mac it'll be: echo -e "\a"
The Bell command used to be used by teletype operators to get the attention of remote operators by making their unit ring an actual bell. This special character remains with us to this very day!

@thalon actually still better than Greyhound. If the bus breaks down you can count yourself lucky if another one even shows up to pick you up from the side of the highway. Driving or flying are the options because those industries have the most lobbying money

By removing all the redundant 1s and 0s and only storing each value once per file, our research team has achieved unprecedented file compression ratios.

In my mind this would prob end up being like a Wolfenstein movie which begs the question: How has there not been a Wolfenstein movie yet?

what if i made a 3d rendered mastodon interface. god this is such an awful idea that i might actually do it
@avi I hate getting my hair cut. Most barber shops have this super ramped up hyper masculine vibe that does not compute for me. And the part where you’re expected to make small talk basically makes it fully poison for me.

im not like anywhere near as wide reaching as contrapoints but i just want to reiterate that i think everyone is deserving of love and respect and even if your lived experience as a trans, gay, or otherwise gender nonconforming person doesn’t line up with the commonly spoken experiences of others you’re still valid and i love you and respect you all the same

in life you can start out with one of two things: a dick, an ass, or mystery choice
@garfiald ok fine, but only if it’s at least as good as dick or ass
@garfiald is the mystery choice either a dick or ass or can it be something else entirely? Like an assdick for example? I need to know
firearm, shitpost, body modding
@kimdanes@octodon.social I think there’s a movie about that

tales from taco bell 5/?
me: Hi what can I get for you today?
a high pitched voice from the passenger side: I'll have the chalupa craving's box and can I have the taco in that fresco style?
me: Sure, what to drink with that?
passenger: A diet please. [slightly lower volume] What are you getting?
driver, who sounds like male Commander Shepard: I'll get a chalupa craving's box. And a baja blast. Large.
passenger: --Chad, you don't need a large.
Chad, continuing: And can you make that taco a Doritos Locos?
me: Absolutely. Anything else?
Chad: Yeah. Can I get 4 Doritos Locos Tacos?
passenger, basically squeaking in the background: *CHAD!* You don't need *FIVE* TACOS!
me: Ok does everything on the screen look correct?
Chad: Actually, can I get 3 of those to be firey?
passenger: CHAD! YOU DON'T NEED THAT MUCH, CHAD!
me: Yeah. Does your screen look correct?
passenger: CHAD! That's TOO MUCH CHAD! *CHAD!*
Chad, with somber confidence: Yes.
