@jeffowski Add all the kids who hated competitive sports, and were bullied because they were awkward. My favorite "sport" is ballet. As part of an event, we were asked to wear attire of our favorite sport. I wore a tutu and ballet slippers (with my regular clothing).

@j_bertolotti@mathstodon.xyz I don't have any Warhammer minis, but I have a 40+ years collection of Traveller ttrpg game material. And have been using Linux for over 25 years. Mastodon has people who know about #Linux and #Traveller. I feel at home here. Welcome.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange File under: "Live by the sword, die by the sword."

@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @Dougfir@m.ai6yr.org @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Yes, they did. Grandpa worked in the auto body section of a VW dealership* in the 1960s, and the waterproof test was to drive the car down a boat ramp, into the local river, and wait to see where the leaks were located. *IAM-AW union job.

@Huntn00@mastodon.world @clonedhuman@mastodon.social @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green They will live brief and unhappy lives in their bunkers. Mercenary guards will protect them, until the pay becomes worthless. Then... bye-bye techbros. (see: Machiavelli's comments on mercenaries)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Communists? Indeed???! They are really reaching for "enemies." That is so passé, Donny child. So 20th century. Go back to your cheeseburger. The people from the home will be here shortly.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Hell, no.

@DeliaChristina Time for the Disunited States. The current situation is not repairable. Isolate the assholes.

@DrewNaylor @jzilversmit88 Some dude from the middle east, around 2000 years ago, said something like: "As you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me." Objecting to state violence is nothing new.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Don't forget to add the Privacy Badger extension. #EFF

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Hell yeah!

@skeletor@mas.to In elementary school, movies meant pulling down a screen, getting a projector, attaching the reels, and threading the movie tape through it. VHS wasn't available until junior college.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @3janeTA@beige.party I have roses, but mom is no longer with us. So Mother's Day is sort of meaningless. I don't think the cockatiel will give me a gift... except the kind I have to clean off my shoulder. (Sunshine shits on my shoulder.) 🦜

@riley@toot.cat Not always. AI can shove off, I can do my own research. @theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social @ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

@redsakana@infosec.exchange @sarahjamielewis@mastodon.social FYI, anti-X Linux does not use systemd. They remove a lot of cruft so the distro can be loaded on very ancient machines, such as my ThinkPad T23.

@Nonilex@masto.ai So much for "pro-life." Bring a child into this world, and then watch them die or be disabled by a preventable disease, because, "Oh, the vaccines will give them autism." (It is genetic, morons.) So watching your child die is "better" than having them properly vaccinated? Folks, that is child abuse, and these people do not deserve to keep their children. When I was a child, getting the new polio vaccine was a big deal. I remember getting the sugar cube version. There were no vaccines for mumps, measles, or rubella (MMR). Children died, or if they survived, they could develop severe disabilities. There is no reason to go backwards.

@Lana@beige.party Wondering how the whole oil supply chain "interruption" is going to affect chip manufacturing. AI is just annother bubble.

@VogueLaGalere@mastodon.online Aww. I played it, and my cockatiel started singing to it (he makes up his own counter-melodies). @markarayner@mas.to

@3janeTA@beige.party Catching up... I have a bunch of "heritage" and older roses: Fragrant Cloud, American Beauty, and Double Delight are my favorites. The Graham Thomas rose bush is huge. Originally, I had ± 20 rose bushes. Unfortunately quite a few of them died at the graft, and just the rather unexciting root stock remains. @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org

@mcnado@mstdn.social And a loud boom. A shotgun is not a sniper weapon. Up close, the effect is unpleasant, and generally messy, even if one is using rock salt.

@karlauerbach @airshipper Please, please, if there is an older or unhealthy person in your family, have them record their passwords somewhere. If the person dies, the family is locked out of important accounts, and even the person's computers. This has happened to family and friends, and makes life even more difficult for the survivors.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social @Vee@musician.social All on this pale blue dot.

@krautnapped@mastodon.world Deeply ironic: They will also eventually be inhabiting the graveyard. So much for ruling.

@timjan@social.linux.pizza The words "enjoyed" and "dental visit" do not belong in the same sentence. Perhaps not the same galaxy.

@falseknees@mastodon.social The cockatiel is laughing.

@VogueLaGalere@mastodon.online When he was young, I taught him to "sing" the theme from the final movement of the Beethoven Violin Concerto. 18 years later, he still remembers it. I love my little feathered buddy. @markarayner@mas.to

@coucou@masto.ai They hang out on Clear Lake, as well. And they are huge!

@simonbp@social.linux.pizza Let us also give credit to the SR-71 Blackbird. First flight, 1964. Official "release," 1966.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social I loved the old Avengers series.

@meredithw@wandering.shop As I return to reading Marcus Aurelius...

@Nonilex@masto.ai But "white" is not a race, it is a (paint) color. Like green, blue, red, yellow, etc.

@itsfoss The corpos lost me at Win98.

@mayintoronto@beige.party I live in the middle of nowhere. I have few local IRL friends. (I don't really mind it, my #ttrpg friends are on various game platforms. I get to see them at gaming cons.)

@aj@home.ajacks.net @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Ah, the basic tenants of Calvinism. The rich are the "elect."

@Tutanota@mastodon.social (Email subscriber in US) Thanks!

@bstacey@icosahedron.website @blogdiva@mastodon.social Coffee is the ultimate reality. Everything else is an afterthought. ☕

@maxleibman@beige.party Just ask them if their ancestors were here in 1491. If not, they are descendents of immigrants, legal or otherwise. case closed.

@shoq@mastodon.social good.

@spocko@mastodon.online What did that word salad mean?

@leahmcelrath.bsky.social Large black heron, doing impression of Black Swan from Swan Lake. So graceful.

@dallo@pouet.chapril.org Pass the BBQ sauce.

@mattblaze@federate.social I think the key phrase is "when viable alternatives are available." Just sayin'.

@servelan@newsie.social 🤮

@mattblaze It was totally stupid. I refer to the proper means (elections) that are being taken from us.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social So true. #Linux

@blogdiva@mastodon.social Pete Seeger for May Day and labor rights: Which Side are You On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEwE0R_7TDc

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Not quite long or convoluted enough for the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. But a good start. "It was a dark and stormy night..." something, something wine corks and squirrels...

@signalapp@mastodon.world Uh, any museum painting collection?

@petergleick@fediscience.org The teachers in my high school Environmental Studies class predicted the wars of the future would be fought over water. That was in ~1975.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I have done quite a few waist alterations for clients, to men's trousers. It is only worth it if the center back seam has a good-sized seam allowance and a flat seam; which is more often found in good quality suit trousers. For garments with topstitching and multiple layer seams, it is not worth it. In that case, buy to fit your torso and alter/ cut off the legs. You can always add gussets to the legs, if you feel creative. That is how people altered jeans to be bell-bottoms in the early 1970s.
