@vwestlife Those would go well with these 5.25" disks

A Tandy desktop computer with a pastel blue 5.25" floppy disk sticking out, and a pink disk sitting in front of it.

Urja boosted:

A pleasingly pastel box of generic "Error Free" 3.5-inch diskettes, and a much older box of Verbatim DataLife Colors diskettes which was discounted from $36.00 to the bargain price of $30.60.

A picture of a conversation thread:

mug-of-beans:
"The old magic persists thanks to it's unfathomable power."

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb.

aqueerkettleofish:
Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the oid magic.

wizard-council-bureaucrat:
Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

wizard-archivist-official:
The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.
The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.
Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

charlesoberonn:
You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.
You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

"My roommate once saw me put more cheese onto a frosen pizza and it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels slowly turning as he realised we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power"

- Yes ($ is on AltGr-4)

re: different symbols, Shift-4 has ¤ (the "unspecified currency" symbol) which I never use and AltGr-e has € that I actually use for the local currency.

But yeah, it's not too bad if there's a lot of use for $. I kinda notice the excessive use of {[]} sometimes (they're on AltGr-7890 here, not direct or just with shift), and yeah in general the use of comma and period for "previous" and "next" confused the heck out of me before i got familiar with the US keyboard (<>| are here on the one key that is not on the US keyboard, between left shift and Z.)

Tämäpä se. Ei elämää pitäisi valita pudotusvalikosta.

Life Pro Tip from Splinter:

A screenshot from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for NES with Splinter saying, "Get Extra Energy With Pizza. You Can Do It."

I feel like Jessie and Steve should switch their thumbnails around, lol. (Or have uploaded in different order). SUPER HOPE would've been funnier.

Youtube screenshot, subscriptions list ("Latest") with the two superman-related videos by Jessie Gender and Steve Shives. The thumbnails have superman looking away from each other, with the text being "HOPE" and "SUPER".

This resonated with me today. I'm going to do my best to make those around me and those I'm connected to (that's you!) a little bit happier, despite *gestures wildly in all directions*! We can do this! #optimism #yougotthis

Reddit post: A friend had a really positive take on feeling powerless. Text of post: Was talking to a friend recently about the anxiety and stress I’ve felt the past couple weeks over the current political climate and I voiced how I felt powerless to do anything, but compelled to do something (so a catch-22). He had a take I thought really helped.

He calmly explained, we as individuals don’t have the power to enact change on a global scale, so making yourself crazy over trying to do something big doesn’t help. However, we can impact our inner circle.

The hope is that if we treat those in our immediate radius well and make their world a better place, they’ll in turn impact their inner circle in a positive way, leading to positive rippling effects in society. It’s essentially just a cycle of good karma.

I know it’s a little naive, but it helps me to feel like I can control things more than before and gives me hope

”Mitä yhteensovittamista tarvitsee 10 hehtaaria ylittäväkään hanke, joka sijoittuu kauaksi kaikesta tai lähes kaikesta, haja-asutusalueelle tms.?” kysyy aurinkovoiman hankekehittäjä lausunnossaan alueidenkäyttölaista.

Tälleen ne näkee meidän taajamien ulkopuolella asuvien elinympäristön, paikat, joihin on kiinnitytty vuosikymmeniä tai sukupolvien ajan. Mutta eihän täällä mitään alueidenkäytön yhteensovittamista ole. On vain käyttämättä jäänyttä rakentamispotentiaalia, joutomaata, periferiaa.

If we want businesses to take climate change seriously, make it legal to stay off work if the temperature is 28C or over. Every climate change sceptic twat will get their net zero ducks in a row in double quick time.

I guess if “They’ll come for you next” motivates people, then go for it. But damn, I really wish people could start from the assumption that the people they’re coming for *now* are also worth fighting for without any further explanation.

@evamik My wifi network names has a theme of "Bananas".

(like there's the main one "Bananas" and a couple "<adjective> Bananas" repeated/sub-networks around :P)

And I feel like this is very boring lol (it just started with me needing to name the network and well... i happen to have bananas around quite often, so ...)

Oh, JLCPCB really claims they can get UPD720101s (that is, i bought two :P, and the reply so far was "they'll be in total $0.13 cheaper than what we listed"), nice if true :blobcatblep:

Radiossa puhutaan z-sukupolvesta työelämässä. On kyllä kauheita vaatimuksia heillä: työ/vapaa-aika pitää olla tasapainossa, töissä pitää olla hyvä ilmapiiri ja arvot kohdillaan. Ei ihmekään että saattaa syntyä konflikteja heidän kanssaan!
