I got a picture of the snowplow Minnesota named in her honor in St Paul last year.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 days ago:
I daily drive Bazzite and I’m not fully in agreement. If you’re doing non-Steam games or emulation, or desktop stuff, on AMD hardware Bazzite is the winner IMO because it ‘ships’ with that stuff preconfigured in a way steam os doesn’t and Bazzite has something very similar to big picture mode for AMD. Hardware compatibility is probably still better out of the box with Bazzite too.
If you’re only playing Steam games on the TV Steam OS is arguably better.

As someone who thinks the world would be a better place without little shits chucking cans of green beans at people’s heads I’m shaking my head, but my inner former retail worker is cheering for the (possibly made up for a joke) little shit with the impressive aim.

So how nasty are these things to humans? They seem like body horror nightmare fuel.
(I think I live far enough north to not have to worry about them but thinking about them still makes me a bit queasy.)

Oh hey it’s me crossing the road on my bike today as a bus comes barreling around the blind corner twenty feet away.

The US.
There’s a bill fresh out of committee that would put (most of) us on permanent DST. It’s got some bipartisan support and the Angry Orange has said he’s in favor of it.

There’s a metal cover of that song. I don’t know anything beyond it existing because I heard it in passing while biking to work last week but it made me laugh when I realized what it was.

Oh so you’re the reason HCMC is bankrupt.

Knew a guy in high school who got expelled for not clearing out his car after a weekend fishing trip…
- Comment on Story of my life 1 month ago:
I didn’t, but that’s because I remembered the other thread where TSH claimed to be the other woman in an affair. People were outraged.
- Comment on Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds 1 month ago:
Generally a good suggestion but having your mental health depend on a controlled substance is a fresh kind of hell. Anyone know how Spain’s health care system is for trans folks on testosterone? I can get citizenship in an EU country and a couple of people I know moved to Madrid last year and I think this situation has convinced me to move even if I’ve forgotten most of the Spanish I once knew.
I did pitch a fit and managed to get it filled today but I never want to deal with this shit again, it’s been life-alteringly awful previous times.

I’m currently stuck in prior authorization hell and used the last dose of my med yesterday. Ugh. I hate this fucking country.

Ugh I have astigmatism and I was reading Lemmy without my glasses, that meme is headache inducing.

- Comment on Cleverly titled 2 months ago:
I’ve heard to skip the first novel of the Culture series, I read it and kinda bounced off of it from a prose standpoint because it’s very 80s sci fi, so the rest of the series probably isn’t for me.
- Comment on No like really bro I’m just here for the silly shoes 2 months ago:
Bowling shoes no, but I remember saddle shoes having a resurgence with hipsters and I think the stereotypical bowling shoes are a type of saddle shoe.
- Comment on In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to be discerning and to make sure to get your info from a reliable source. 2 months ago:
Quite a few of my local Chinese places still use the clamshell takeout ones. It’s the worst. The plastic and the stereotypical one both work really well. The Styrofoam is good at leaking all the sauce out the sides.
- Comment on I'm literally just vibing 2 months ago:
Wait, the Netherlands has legal magic mushrooms? That surprises me given that I’ve heard their weed isn’t quite as freely legal as their reputation makes it seem.
- Comment on What the Hell is this Bull shit ? 2 months ago:
In the US, your state’s department of weights and measures might care. They’re the ones who verify grocery store scales, taxi cab fare meters, gas pumps… they exist to make sure you’re not getting ripped off. If you’re in a blue state they care, in a red state ymmv.

I was just thinking red bean cheesecake would probably be pretty tasty.

- Comment on WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR? 2 months ago:
IDK but I’ve seen pics of 911 operator setups with some absurd number of screens and I bet there’s a lot of stuff that would be useful for them to have open.
- Comment on Me with my first edition harry potter 2 months ago:
I like Clive Cussler novels and I still agree with you, lol. They’re stupid fun, a cross between James Bond and Indiana Jones but not quite as good as either.
- Comment on Bean virus 3 months ago:
So what’s stopping me, a random guy who doesn’t work for uber eats, from walking in, pretending to scan a reciept, and walking out with free random food? What happens when the real driver shows up? Does McDonalds hold their line that they already made and packaged that order? Or does Ubereats insist they never picked it up?
Not a whole lot, actually. It happens on occasion, but less than you’d think - and in places where it happens frequently they hand out the orders rather than doing the shelf thing. If the person ordering has tipped well (yeah the drivers can see the tips) sometimes they’ll get the restaurant to remake it and you’ll actually get hot food, or some of the nicer delivery folks will let the restaurant know the order got snatched before unassigning from your order. And the restaurant has some incentive to remake your food because if you don’t get your food they don’t get paid - support is not good but it’s usually pretty obvious when some kind of screw up has happened. The whole system relies on people being decent, and thankfully people are - at least poor people in cities generally are.
The local places are generally good at using a heat lamp, at least the places near me that allow you to order through their website, for pickup - which I’m usually picking up my own order because, like you said, those delivery apps are stupidly expensive even if you’re ordering from somewhere actually worth ordering from.

Where did you get it? I’ve got a roommate who loves pigeons and I ran across this on AliExpress a few months ago but the listings I found were expensive and the reviews said they were cheaply made and didn’t work well.

- Comment on God bless the Midwest 3 months ago:
This is the right call. They’ve got a “harvest veggie burger” that’s primarily chickpeas and cheese so not appropriate for vegans and it’s pretty mid. Skip the cheese puck, go for the curds.
