We had a wall that was wallpaper, but like… nature art? It was several rolls perfectly lined up to make the back wall of one room into a deer scene. It wasn't exactly this from the Parks & Rec opening credits, but it was close enough that I called my sister the first time I saw it in 2016.

We just had one of those last week! This is as it was rolling in before the lightning got really constant overhead. Watched it from the terrace for hours. Saw a few lightning bolts strike like 200m away.

Today in Aki flips bits: somehow managed to knock out both projectors mid-talk and had to give the second half without slides.

Post you from a different era. The raver era.

An extremely grainy photo of a teenager with blue hair, a horizontally striped long-sleeved crop top, and a truly preposterous pair of denim phat pants. Like, 50+ inch diameter. Also lots of candy (bracelets) and for some reason a weird reflective sash?

The final boss battle of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest when I was like… 7?. I was doing okay with the Dark King, until he turned into this horrifying tarantula thing. Then I started crying and I think made my mom make my sister finish it for me?

When your friends really, really know you

A post by u/Deusq in the r/tacobell subreddit

I made a tool that finds the cheapest way to order Taco Bell using combo deals
Over the past week, I reverse engineered Taco Bell's API and built a simple tool that takes the items you want and matches them with combo box deals to get you more Taco Bell for less money.
Still a work in progress, but it works.
