An annoying thing after a trip: the CPAP machine smells like Outside for awhile, even after changing filters and scrubbing everything down
That feeling when the ebook I want to borrow from the library is immediately available without a hold
@selectric I too have encountered these bagpipe toilet noises and I too bought the wrong replacement at first - you have my condolences
@socketwench that's a cute cozy kitty
@mhoye FWIW, I was there and that big all-company group photo was definitely a scene I regretted being unmasked for - though (knock on wood) so far, so good (personally)? Anecdotally, it seemed like I heard of fewer folks coming down with COVID or other maladies. But, of course that might just be survivorship bias talking.
us politics; nsfw?
Having seen republicans go from wearing diapers to taping on giant ear bandages to carrying around semen sample cups really makes me think they're all somehow being piloted by pre-teen boys on a 4chan message board all Ratatouille-in-a-chef-hat style.

@dcm Yeah, but like, I dunno, this seems like brain implants or actual rats-on-heads are involved. It's baffling to me
re: us politics; nsfw?
They're all like "we're not weird" as they dive into the next meme spiral of shoving corncobs up their asses and stomping around making elephant noises for some obscure in-joke reason to own the libs

Next Trump rally is overrun with Bivalve Jesus cosplayers over-committed to the bit, clad in real room-temperature unregulated shellfish, shortly thereafter flooding local hospitals with food poisoning and paralytic toxin cases

(i'm going to have to fabricate this now and get a few more monitor arms for my desk, aren't i?)
@luis_in_brief @aburka @hannah @NanoRaptor They were definitely real and I remember thinking they looked like The Future when I was 11 years old in 1986.
(they still kinda look like The Future to me, but I'm not as happy about that at my current age)
Huh: Because I bought Pocket Casts a long, long time ago and have been using it ever since, they're calling me a "champion" now? That's... nice?
Either way, I'd still recommend it as my favorite podcast tuner to anyone who's looking

With few delusions that any project of mine would ever really "take off", I think maybe there's a niche opening up around a federated service to find cool things and offer search to friends and friends-of-friends?
I'm thinking it could look a bit like a cross between social bookmarking, an RSS reader, and a Mastodon client that specializes in link sharing - all with a small search engine on top for smaller groups of folks?
Like, I dunno, maybe that's just Lemmy and friends in the federated reddit-alike-verse?
But those seem less like "here's a cool thing I found" and more like forum thunderdomes which happen to center around links
I really, really wished that, back in the day (circa 2006), del.icio.us-at-Yahoo! had grown up into a more human-powered search offering as an alternative to Google
@aud Yeah, I would want a system that really leans into links shared by actual humans you know/follow or a few kevin-bacon-degrees away, and devalues automated spidering or discovery.
Oh hey, my iPhone hasn't been backing photos up to my NAS in a really long time. 🤔 Oh, it's because iOS offloaded the app, because I haven't been "using" it in awhile.
Oh and you want me to pay for more storage in iCloud? Ah, thanks Apple, very helpful
