• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Beans :(⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lesson here…

  If you’re not careful, the beans will blow out your bottom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty interesting when you really think about it.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This needs one of those bell curve memes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨circuits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how we end up in software my friend.

  All the senior HW engineers I’ve interacted with almost cried when I told them I’d read the data sheets and schematics before asking them about some register values that needed to be set on boot.

  Love those guys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨circuits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true. I’ve been replaced several times with a Thevenin Equivalent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Live reaction to ICC ruling⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ICC is Hamas. Obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Yeah girl, my bathroom lights come on automatically when you walk in. I’ve even set them to 30% brightness… After bedtime.”

  If only my wife truly appreciated me lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In case you haven't figured your Halloween costume yet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “per my last email” = you’ve critically failed your reading comprehension check and I’m real tired of holding your hand on this, which is why I’ve cc’d your supervisor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re semi-rural (multi acre lots often with houses set almost at the back of lots), this was my first Halloween out here, I was following the kids with a car cause it was cold and snowy. But apparently the other parents in the neighborhood all hang out and set up a flatbed trailer with a fire pit, lawn chairs, and beer just being hauled around by a UTV. I need to learn how to make friends as an adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fruit Flies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t even have to be actual booze. Apple cider vinegar + a drop of dawn dish soap works a treat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Travel agent saved my ass about 10 years ago when my connecting flight was delayed in air while I was on it. Middle of the night and she helped me switch everything over and rent a car to drive the rest of the way and even got me upgraded to a more fun one. This was when I was going to a job interview and flying in the night before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t even always add oil afterwards. I just wash it then stick it on the stove on low to dry it while I unload and reload the dishwasher or whatever.

  My wife does hate that I’m fine with my cast iron living in the stove though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help responding to his coworker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Neat.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PhD vs Marriage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always something at least a little off about anybody who earns a PhD.

  I’ve met a lot of them, and some of them are good at hiding it, but it’s always something…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Empires fall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be. I remember them being marketed as “no return rentals”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Empires fall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TigerDirect eventually acquired the rights for the Circuit City name, years after the stores closed. They were great for awhile, it was just weird that they tried to revive the brand.

  I bought my first PC parts at CompUSA, which… I don’t think I’ve seen for a very long time lol. Definitely used TigerDirect when I was in college though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Empires fall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unregulated capitalism destroys everything it touches, including itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Empires fall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that was wild too, those color changing DVDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Empires fall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TigerDirect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We have both Aldi here but they’re differently named. One is just Aldi, the other is Trader Joe’s.

  It’s our super low cost grocer, that has in recent years become more high quality. When I was a kid (80s-90s) it was like “never buy fresh anything there because it’s all crap” but these days it’s all pretty decent quality stuff. Not like farmstand good, but better than Walmart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are they hiding?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly witchcraft. Spells to make the kids gay. Definitely not a decorative method of adding texture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart's use of digital price tags signal the future of retail shopping, but consumers are worried⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve still got my old Anova, Bluetooth one. I don’t even use the app ever, I can set it up with the wheel and buttons. Still works great after like 5+ years. That said, I won’t be recommending them to anyone going forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Hear You Like Vans, Well Here's Van Morrison⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s nice, but it’s no Econoline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't embarrass us in front of the cephalopods⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen one flying around Lemmy since I’ve been here at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck that, we should be measuring everything in Stone.

  I’ll take a seventh stone of chicken please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When was the last time you made Jello?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone with a small flock, this is empirically accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cruciferae⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Salt, Olive Oil, pepper pepper pepper, then some time in the air fryer… It’s magic. My kids even like them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wow, this is so much faster⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only problem is you can’t eat a Hilux when the going gets a little too tough.
