am I correct in thinking Monster Hunter is mostly for people who _really_ like monsters?

[LLM brainworms] in a discussion with a new vendor me: …yeah, it seems like since you’re gonna be managing the cluster for us and you already have your own monitoring setup, we don’t need to install our Prometheus exporters there, we can drop it some engineer: well if you want you can always […]

[allusion to botched execution, probably in poor taste] so should I start microdosing pentobarbital, or...?

it's super cool and normal that my trackpad goes dead for 3 seconds after I plug the Thinkpad into power, yeah?

listen, it says "do not use as baby wipe" on the canister of CaviWipes, it says _nothing_ about adults

shit I do all the time: copy something with Ctrl+C, highlight a thing I wanna replace, and then twitch and hit Ctrl+C again before Ctrl+V and wipe out what was on the clipboard and replace the highlighted thing with itself

y’all ever feel like the WNBA is a psyop by the right to whip up their culture warriors and deliberately discredit the idea of women in professional sports? or is it just me

does anyone know if Public Storage will lower your rate if you threaten to move out or does that just work with cable and cell phones?

[meat] tfw you're a white boy shopping at the halal grocery and the butcher gives you the IKYK (I've got the cleanest meat in town) look

watching WGN Chicago at the dentist’s office and there sure is a ton of dead air and filler, like one of those free streaming channels that nobody wanted to buy the ad slots on

ugh I'm gonna need a Flattop Jones family tree to interpret the latest Dick Tracy storyline

main use of the federated timeline these days is to check if the server is fucked or if everyone I follow is just quiet for a few minutes

ever review your relationship history and realize you forgot someone entirely? that you were with for _over a year_? or just me?

it is so fucking weird to me that the Mighty Boosh person is on the baking show now

hey #furry friends: is "lifestyler" obsolete terminology? is the more proper term Therian these days or does that have additional/other implications?

after following The Far Side's daily reposts for a while, I kind of think the jokes in most of them stand alone just fine or even better without the captions I do appreciate that they publish the captions as actual text, though, rather than burning them into the image

dang it got cold enough that the house flipped itself to heating

the thing I hate most about modern web/app design is these fucking fake-ass placeholders with grey blobs all over everything, especially when they _pulse_ I think the conventional wisdom is that putting something up like this makes a site seem faster while […] [Original post on sometimes.social]

[ranting about baked goods] why isn't there a single place to get a good fluffly yeast donut in or around #Skokie or #Evanston? the only place with donuts even worth talking about that we've found is Bennison's and their yeast donuts are much too heavy and often undercooked

[misinformation] the song Black Hole Sun was originally a ballad about Attila called Black Soul Hun but Soundgarden's management thought the historical content would limit the appeal

I love the aesthetics of this thing also, it has a floppy drive!

a silver/grey electronic Casio keyboard, on a stand, in a grassy outdoor area

it has large speakers covered with fine metal mesh on either end

it has a variety of knobs and buttons

closer view of the bottom-right corner of the keyboard, which houses a 3.5 floppy drive

a view of the right side of the keyboard

there are more buttons, including a D-pad and a numpad

there are several logos:

“Zpi sound source”

“General MIDI”

“SmartMedia” (in red, near the back)

I verified that there is indeed a SmartMedia slot on the back of the keyboard (not pictured)
