If I had a time machine, I'd go back to 22-year-old me and say:

Hey, you don't actually like eating Wendy's & Taco Bell all the time, right?

Check out that oven you never use. Like, turn it on, stick some carrots and potatoes and chicken in there. 45 minutes and it's food.

Like, when I was a bachelor with 2 cats in Ann Arbor, a typical night would be a big burrito & a bubble tea & an anime rental.

I would have been just as happy with a bag of bachelor chow pellets to eat while computing and watching Cowboy Bebop and Tenchi Muyo.

Little did I know that I could have been making equally unexciting yet healthier food by just buying things from the store and making them rather hot for a while.

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz nice

@sungo@hackers.town I dunno, they had a tortilla press and nice stretchy dough. That seemed like witchcraft to me at the time

@skipfordj I bet Amazon has 2 hour delivery to that pub

@skipfordj (he says and shudders)

@jenn cool

@skipfordj Yeah, in that case, there's probably a startup founder in there somewhere who's working on that problem

@skipfordj This is an eminently sane perspective

@skipfordj FWIW, my thing for that has been a Synology NAS and either Quickconnect or a VPN back into my network at home. SMB, NFS, whatever. Not free, but seems to have worked well for me over the last 10 years or so

Holy crap NEW ALICE IN VIDEOLAND https://open.spotify.com/track/7H0Wxut0IupKY7ULHvPK1g?si=6bxVG61-T0iYEvEQuDMYxw

I keep hearing a sound in a song that's like the USB device disconnect sound in Windows and it's driving me nuts as I exasperatedly try to decide what accidentally got knocked loose by a cat this time

And this makes me think there should be a trolly genre of music just full of attention-sounds

@annika It's an attempt at group-buy-as-a-service, like when folks in a forum all get together and chip in to build / buy a semi-unique or niche thing that's cheaper in volume.

(how well massdrop does this, I can't really say)

@annika also extremely same
