When my old man was little the local tobacco company would give you 50 penni for every rat tail you brought in.

It didn’t take long for some kid to realise the best source of rat tails was the dumpster behind the tobacco factory.

They planted two plum trees and one cherry tree. I picked so many plums this year. Still have a bunch on the freezer ready to go in pies. Made two batches of slivovice moonshine back in the fall just so they wouldn’t go to waste.

Don’t forget that a door mat that says “welcome” counts as consent.

That’s the last straw! From now on I’m only drinking beer.

What site is that?

Just asking so I know what to avoid.

Probably. Pretty much anyone who wants to go career can.

It’s 5-6 months for the shortest service. In my case I volunteered to drive big rigs, so 12 months and I got a driver’s license that would’ve required two years of lorry driving as a civilian. It’s been my backup plan in case my career in rocket science hadn’t worked out.

Finn here. The willingness to defend the country is high in Finland. For a small country like Finland it’s the most cost-effective way to keep up a credible defense. I guess a professional army might be an option now with NATO membership.

And, yes. It feels like the normal thing to do.

My grandfathers did it (and fought in two wars), my father did it, my older brother did it, plenty of friends did it at the same time as me.

It’s an experience you can bond over very quickly.

If you like what you we in the shadows, to might also enjoy “our flag means death”.

Created by and starring Waititi. Based on the true story of the gentleman pirate.

Don’t forget Ezekiel 23:20-21

She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse. And so, Oholibah, you relived your former days as a young girl in Egypt, when you first allowed your breasts to be fondled.

EULA for what service?

Or do cars come with EULAs nowadays?

Is Tesla boomer slang for any EV?

Like how my mother bought one of them Nokia iPhones?

I’m no connoisseur, but I just want the same feel as I had back in the 90s. No terminal emulator, straight up tty with crisp VGA ROM fonts at some hacky SuperVGA resolution. Before the virtual framebuffer that basically every computer today uses for tty.

Konsole, gnome-terminal and ghostty can all be made to feel right to me. I’m giving ghostty a spin, and I like how it supports custom shaders so I can make it feel even more like home.

It’s not.

With two adults in a house, we shower (no baths) plus two dogs who get showered as needed. We use 10m³ per month. That’s 2641 gallons.

Sweet! Tempo is the best subsonic client I’ve found for Android. Hoping to use it for a long time.

It’s a protocol for hosting music libraries.

Think of it like your personal Spotify backend.

I’m running navidrome to serve music to tempo on my devices.

I’ve worked from home for a long time, but before that I used to get my workout by riding my bike to the office.

20 minutes is just enough to wake you up for the day, rain, shine or snow.

I live in a shithole 100km from a NATO capital. I’m not expecting a direct or near hit, so the fallout is my main concern. I should have at least 20-30 minutes to get comfy.

I’ve got potable water in jugs in the basement already. I’ll just grab a couple of mattresses, sleeping bags, camping stove, food, solar/crank radio and head down there. Also some duct tape to seal up the ventilation.

I have a 7mo baby who craves entertainment.

I keep making up lyrics to the theme from Ponyo.

Sure, it performed “fine”.

But it was sluggish compared to the VGA ttys we were used to.

Now, if we can have something as snappy and at the same time as pretty as Eterm… 👌
