It's getting dark. I just looked outside and I see a light in the sky. It's not a street light.

It's been consistently cloudy for so long that it took me a full 30 seconds to realize that light is THE MOON.

I think that migraine I had yesterday did something hinky to my brain meats

@Taweret Trying to understand the concept here... is this someone who's hunted & skinned Alf or is this someone Alf is currently eating?

spiders

"Spiders are much smarter than you think"

I know there's a danger of anthropomorphism - but from TikToks I've seen and personal encounters I've had, it does seem like jumping spiders are more present and reactive than other tiny critters

This is literally going on my bumper

Also i got 2, so one might go on my e-bike

@hakfoo @jef@mastodon.social @sevenishmagpies hmm, now i think i have a sign making project for the little toy CNC machine i got last month 🤔

@sean Yeah, I've been kind of bouncing between Nebula and Dropout lately, Wish they would just collaborate with, like, Plex as plug-in channels and aggregate into a shared browser. I pay for all three

LRT: at least I wasn't hallucinating seeing the moon last night

@SuperSelena64 Once upon a time, I remembered I had a spare box of game boy printer paper. But I also remembered it ended up in a box in the attic, where it got up to 140F / 60C in the summer. It was all black when I finally found it :sadcowblob:​

@mhoye Doesn't really sound like you disagree? Looks like what you suggest is what they suggest as the "instead try this" bit

This sort of thing has long been a pet peeve of mine, alas. I've asked folks a few times why they just leave it at "hello?" or "yt?" before continuing on with what they wanted.

An answer I've gotten more than once was "well, I didn't want to go through the trouble of typing it all out if you weren't going to answer right away" - which, ugh. That's a whole other can of worms around async work and niceties in respecting each other's time

@jalefkowit You mean I can just squeeze the capsule into a glass and stir it up with a spoon? :blobmindblown:

@riley @sevenishmagpies Sure, but you're not going to do that print-on-demand or at scale for nine bucks

@sevenishmagpies @riley Yeah, this is a nice quality bumper sticker, feels like decently thick vinyl

@jgarber Mostly yeah, but Gecko in Firefox is over here going "I'm not dead yet!"

@pamelafox oof, that's a troublesome date format right there. :blobsadleft:​ doesn't even sort nicely

@gwachob @jasonw22 Heh, I have a Discord server, but mainly it's just me and a few bots crapping up the channels while I tinker with the APIs. Kept meaning to do more with it and live stream on Twitch more, but haven't quite gotten round tuit
