In high school we were hosting a marching band competition for schools a little smaller than ours. The band students helped work the whole event, so we were outside running around the football field all day.

Eventually, we got to lunch, and myself and friends ran over to Arby’s. I’ve never really enjoyed coffee in my life, but a friend convinced me to try the JaMocha Shake. “It’s so good,” they said. So anyway, after a shake and roast beef sandwiches, we go back to the football field to help out in the afternoon.

An hour or two later, something in my gut started turning sideways. I was sitting high up in the stands with friends, waiting for a band to finish their performance. Suddenly, it all came up. Roast beef and coffee shake. All over the stands…and dripping down onto who ever was unlucky enough to be below. At this field, the concessions were under the stands. Oof.

So I ended up going home, of course. But I know that a friend of mine unfortunately had to clean it up. Poor girl.

I was just thinking about Discovery because I need to watch this week’s episode.

This is like, “Tell me you’ve never watched Star Trek without telling me you never…”

I will say the PWA scene for the fediverse has been pretty good, and until some dedicated apps showed up, I was just using those on my phone and iPad.

I also have a tab group on my ipad that has all my fediverse sites open in it, and that’s a pretty good way to check everything.

Yeah, lots:

Chrome Edge Firefox Safari

(/s I’m just bein’ silly)

I have no idea. That’s just an example.

Yeah totally.

I had the thought that since Threads “doesn’t want politics” on their platform, and Twitter is trash, maaaaybe activity pub could be a thing.

But you are right: they won’t do anything if it won’t make money.

This is great.

I really wish more news sites set up their own instances. At the start I realize they wouldn’t be getting as many eyeballs, but it seems to make a lot of sense to have a @news@cnn.social or something. Then Wolf could have @Wolf.Blitzer@cnn.social.

Instant “verification” that way, too.

But we’ll see.

For what it’s worth, Eugen, the fellow behind mastodon doesn’t think this is a XMPP situation:

Same for me. Premium is worth it for the ease of use (especially because I watch a lot of YT on my AppleTV). I don’t want to have to worry about making sure all these ad blockers are set up right, and I also am ok with paying since I believe creators get something from that, right?

When I visit a friend and they pull up YT only for it to have three ads or whatever, I die inside. How do those people live?

Can my space horse walk vertically up a space mountain? If not, I’m out.

I built a Lily58 keyboard a couple years ago, and I love it. Coincidentally enough, I posted about it today on another thread about mechanical keyboards on yet another server.

But I love how it turned out. It’s super comfy, and I actually enjoy that I can put that keyboard around another keyboard I use for my ipad. So during the day while working I can still use my ipad easily. Super nice.

Here’s a link to the image I posted with that thread:

Nice! It’s super good in real life. It feels like there’s so many things at the start since there are so many ways to win. But I really think the game is pretty smooth after a couple of turns. Every time I play it I have a good time — even if I lose.

I ended up buying the expansion that tells a story as you go. But unfortunately my friends and I haven’t had a good time to really play through it.

I came here to say Wingspan. I have gotten my friends and family to play it, and everyone likes it.

My second favorite game might be Scythe, another one of their games. They just make good stuff.
