They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.

MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.

Makes sense. I’m a librarian and we still use cards from the old card catalog for notes.

Come on, I’m counting on you!

That’s my emotional understanding of the current situation. I supported the invasion of Afghanistan whole-heartedly the night it happened, but I was a child then. 9/11 was upsetting and rockets are exciting. Now, with maturity and hindsight, that invasion was a cruel mistake. I believe this current invasion is also a mistake.

I wonder how much of the rise in reported latex allergies is the prevalence of tire bits in the environment. Iirc, some of the rise is from increased awareness and some is it attributed to increased latex glove usage in medical settings due to the AIDS epidemic. But are tires also a relevant factor?

(Am latex sensitive, have never used latex gloves even in an educational setting because my high school chem teacher was allergic so we had nitrile in the lab)

Robert Evans wrote a post on it and did multiple podcast episodes.

The TL&DR is that AI-generated children’s books are crap, without a coherent storyline or any literary niceties like “foreshadowing” and “beginning middle and end”. Kids are still learning what stories look like, so if you hand them AI-generated stuff they might know it’s unsatisfying, but they can’t put into words why their books are wrong.

Can I tempt you over to Notepad++?

I want it closed, but the dog wants it open and his litter box is in the hallway. So, open it is.

Sync, then something (I don’t remember what) pushed my to Joey)

A lovely southern USA gentleman showed me how to rejigger the video cable in my laptop (it had gotten pinched and was flickering intermittently). He also gently chidded the other video showing how to take apart the same laptop for doing it the hard way. The other video was a wonderful descent into cursing.

I toured a home that had been vacant for years. The basement was a mess. Someone had been majorly into canning. Shelves had collapsed, shattering jars.

Other than that, it was a lot like touring a house while house hunting. Dirtier and more missing steps, but that’s it.

I ran across a couple of comments on Ars Technica that mentioned moving to Lemmy. I’d never heard of it before.

It’s a rough world out there. Let them enjoy childhood while they can!

I’ve taught multiple college students how to copy and paste.

(swapping apps) Liftoff seems to show username@non-local-instances by default, but omits the instance if the user is on your instance.

I didn’t find anything helpful in Jerboa for this use case.

In connect there is an option to always show the instance.

Agreed, this is a great welcome to Lemmy for me. Now I just need to find the “more focused on puppies” communities…
