PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.
<3

The thing that gets me a lot of the time is falling up. I would trip while running or riding a bike, and lose contact with the ground. Soon I’m beyond any trees that I could grab, and just falling. Up. Until it wakes me up.

I’ve had nightmares about it since I was a kid (I don’t know when “old” starts, but I’m probably closer to that than to being a kid. Well, in age - I’m still pretty immature 😅)

I have had quite a few nightmares about not being able to find my kids during zombie apocalypses.
Same basic thing tho: the scariest part wasn’t the setting or scenario, it was not being able to save my kids from harm.

Love love love FLCL - great music imho, all seasons. I’ve re-watched the first season a dozen times or so, and didn’t actually know there were more seasons until much more recently.

I’m also currently re-watching Jojo. Again ❤️

My kids recommended Dororo, Dorohedoro, Made In Abyss, Bocchi the Rock!, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, One-Punch Man, Chainsaw Man… I have enjoyed them all. I know some of those are “new hotness” and really popular, but I’ve really enjoyed the stories, music and art in all of them.

I will be watching this thread for more recommendations! Thanks, OP!

Likewise. And that’s who I was supposed to want to go back and see (after 10 years or more of not being in touch with any of them)? Nah.

No real loss, honestly.

And thank you 🫣 I forgot my manners.

(Cheap) acrylic paint, painted with cheap brushes on a cheap canvas.
It turned out pretty well, considering how cheap the materials were!

Honestly, I just went to my local Joann Fabrics (back when we had a local one of those) and picked up some sets of different sized canvases - I think this one was either 8×8 inches or 10×10. I didn’t know if I would enjoy painting (or be any good at it) so everything together cost less than $20(usd).

Kevin Conroy and Adam West are both awesome Batmans, but Lego Batman isn’t bad either.

Kevin Conroy was a pretty kick-ass live action Batman, too.

I got greedy! 😅

It became a thing in Lemmy 0.19 - as long as you’re on an instance that has updated to that, it should be available to you. At the bottom of the settings page in the web ui, but if you use an app they might not expose that to you yet.

If the apps don’t have instance blocking yet, the webui does (in 0.19)… I haven’t tested it, but it’s there, at the bottom of my settings page 🙂

If it closes well enough that it can go in a bag or pocket, the handle doesn’t matter as much. Thanks - since I don’t go to many stores and I block as many ads as possible, I may have never known it existed.

ETA: I appreciate the suggestion and link. Something for me to look into, since I kinda do deserve nice things.

Yeah, I have one from Starbucks - it was a gift, and I don’t know if they are all like this one - but the lid has a tendency to slosh and seep. At least it doesn’t affect the flavor, tho! If I would just take half a cup, it would probably work - but then I have to go back more often.

I have a tendency to overlook the “shishi” brands (that cost more so you can have their logo? But what the hell, I don’t even want a logo!) (Lol - conspicuous consumption kinda irks me) and don’t have a ton to spend on expensive mugs one after another… but I guess I deserve nice things that let me live “normally,” so maybe I should spend a shit ton on a single mug finally.

Anyway, thank you! Ceramic insides seem to be on my list of must-haves.

I can try a different kind of thermos again, why not.

Thank you, kind internet stranger.

ETA: That came out snarkier than I had intended. This is a problem that can be solved by buying new shit and risking it not working too. I’m just an idiot and an asshole. Sorry.

I appreciate your suggestion, and because you did nothing wrong, I’ve deleted each snarky reply that came out by reflex.

If you have a brand that doesn’t leak, slosh, make my coffee taste like ass, or cost a shit ton of money, I’d take that suggestion far more seriously than

Try a lid?

Because, duh.

Omg, I can finally use my cane and carry more than one f*n thing at a time! Or - on a rough day - use my walker and carry my coffee without fear of a tiny bump into something spilling coffee everywhere! It’s the little things like that that I miss

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We bought a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic V from GOG since I had never actually played any of them. It’s from 2006, and is in a genre on the edge of my interests.

We also picked up 2 copies of Satisfactory to play together, but were too sick to deal with the bugginess of actually getting multiplayer to work.

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you all are staying healthy ❤️

Like, how do you aim it?

The generic and basic ones you might have to sit in a slightly different position depending on where you sit, but the more expensive ones have an arm that you can move forward or backward to aim where you need it. I use it almost all the way forward, husband uses it most of the way back.

How do you dry off?

Ours has a fan - you can adjust how warm the air is and how hard it blows (I don’t like it too warm because it feels like it burns my asshole). You use the fan to get as dry as you want to - a lot like the machines that dry your hands at public restrooms, actually. When you’re done, you’re either dry enough to pull up your pants and wash your hands, or you use a lot less tp to dry the last few droplets.
