Yeah, could be. I still have some old stuff though (my grandpas shirt which has got to be 50 years old). I don’t wear it much, but I still wash it when I do…

Yeah, cold for everything except whites (they get warm plus bleach). Else these days I do still try to separate them into dark and light colors. Jeans do still fade but it doesn’t transfer to the rest.

It must be detergent or washers are easier on clothes. Growing up, all my clothes eventually became the same dirty pink color when I’d wash colors together. These days I just dump everything in and toss in some laundry soap, maybe some softener if we have it around, and I still have clothes that are 20 years old and in regular rotation. Colorful as always.

Fucking hell, I didn’t even notice the wig but here I am, fully clowned.

D’oh, came here to post this. You win :).

I work with John, my role is as the replacement for another John. I’m trying to be open and fix the issues, but they just want John back, and the other John who’s here, is so territorial, even when I try to help, he just tries to undermine and fight me.

Fucking John.

Oh, I agree, nothing wrong with mint. I just like the fact that the LMDE version is Debian based and works with everything I’ve thrown it at.

Figure proof of they ever decide to switch away from Ubuntu and mainline LMDE. Probably won’t happen, but makes me feel better anyway :).

Seconding LMDE. It’s Debian based rather than Ubuntu so no canonical to un-f. It’s my favorite distro. LMDE for desktop, vanilla Debian for servers.

LMDE for future proofing and stability. Sort of a comedy option, but it’s my distro of choice. As easy as Mint, as stable as Debian. I just don’t trust Ubuntu and since it’s a Debian based distro, why not take one more step…

This asshole is going to start a war over the Nobel peace prize.

I’m in the same boat. I love that it makes self hosting easier for me. It does what I need and even gives me a small extra measure of security. I admit, I use it because I’m lazy, I could do it without Cloudflare and do for some services. So, I figure if it truly becomes urgent or intolerable I can drop it from the stack.

One of my family members got into the “blue-green algae” fad (about 5 years after it fell out of mainstream). It was too expensive so they bought the horse algae from veterinarian supply. He said it was exactly the same, as long as you could put up with the grit.

These people exist (and I’m related to them).

It is now for me too :).

When the only people supporting these new grifters are the regular old established grifters, the result was inevitable.

The chart has spoken.

I wish more people would see it.

My American GE dishwasher just broke and I ordered a part from their US based site. The 17$ part ships from China, I have no idea what’s going to happen. Guessing I’ll be handwashing dishes from here on.

Nah, I mean that even thought they look so picture perfect, my brain just doesn’t see them as real, and parks them in the same category as a cartoon.

Whereas a practical effect, might look hilariously bad, but sometime a jello filled, papier-mache head exploding, is the perfect amount of gore to make me wince.

My theory is that since practical effects ultimately rely on physics of the world we occupy, that despite their unpolished look, they feel more real. The hyper realistic, but completely reality breaking effects of today just hit the same way cartoons do.

Speaking of cartoons, I love finding the shortcuts that animators would take, there’s something so artistic about how they did it.

I am just so much more engaged when I can watch a movie while also trying to figure out how they pulled off an effect.

My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn’t produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It’s been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.

Those types are in charge of policy right now.
