- Comment on Survey for curiosity: How many readers are in a library network that holds video games? 1 week ago:
Yeah some of the libraries near me have a selection of video games on the shelves. At least one even has board games.
I love libraries.

Those caps are meant to affect the way you read it.
In this post, the capital letters (plus the “How To”) suggest a title, like a book or something.

To be fair, that song is well over a decade old.
What’s a reasonable minimum age for playing on an oldies station, do you reckon?

Equinox… equine ox… a horse-like cow.

Locksmith called you? That is mysterious.
FYI it looks like you posted this on yesterday’s daily thread instead of today’s.

How did that go for the cockroach?
- Comment on New community request - Amber Electric Users 2 months ago:
I don’t see it, sorry.
I’d prefer communities be more about concepts or places than specific brands or companies.
But even if the proposal were about a community for electricity or energy generally instead of a particular company… It’s still a no from me. I don’t really see either of those as topics that would attract much daily/weekly discussion.

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it’s in.
Also there’s an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn’t involve any extra ingredients.
- Comment on Two Brisbanes? 4 months ago:
I see the same results as Baku using a different third-party client (Voyager).
-
Searching for communities matching “brisbane” shows one !brisbane@aussie.zone and two others (Brisbane trains, and also a community on a different instance).
-
When I view the Brisbane community sorted by new, I see two separate posts about water showing up next to each other, not nested the way that cross-posts usually show.

RHCP = Rocky Horror Chilli Peppers?

My hot water bottle betrayed me!
Woke up this morning feeling a bit damp but didn’t connect the dots until the water had soaked through a couple of layers all the way to the mattress. Bum.
I guess I didn’t seal the lid properly or something.

The German TV show “Dark” featured a (nostalgic?) dish called Toast Hawaii. I think it’s just ham and cheese on toast plus a pineapple ring.

Now that I check, Wikipedia says it also had a cherry on top. Wild.

Is “Bea Wolf” on your radar?
It’s an illustrated children’s book about a children’s party in a treehouse.
But apparently somehow it’s an adaptation of the ancient epic?
