I love you.

Yamaha makes the best guitar for the money.

The instrument I probably play the most is a nylon string Yamaha with a great dual pickup/mic that I got for $100 at a pawn shop. It has some cosmetic wear, but that’s a bonus in my opinion.

I want hammocks like a man o’ war.

Stack em three high and still have some legroom.

Get some canned chilis in adobo; that sauce adds a nice smoky flavor.

Also if you want to thicken it up, crumble some tortilla chips into it.

Idk what it is about masculinity that loves submissive women

Here is an excellent book on the topic if you’re interested.

The cables are extra long so they have plenty of slack, too.

That’s depressingly common in modern times.

It’s easier if you live near a city with lots of people, but going to meetup.com or similar will show you lots of communities that are eager to get more people involved.

It is always easier to stay home so sometimes I need to make myself go out and be social, but consistency is key. Showing up every week to a meetup will root you in a community more that once every couple months.

Find an IRL community that means something to you. You have to feel like you belong somewhere, and people need a support group to help when they’re down. You can’t feel happy if you’re lonely.

The Monkey Island game that came out a year or two ago was pretty great too if you want a modern take on the genre.

I imagine you’ve played some of the others, but if not you should do 1 & 2 immediately.

If you like point-and-click adventure games, there are a bunch in spooky territory:

The Colonel’s Bequest

Grim Fandango

Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle

There are more, but these are the ones I’d start with if you haven’t played them.

The fucking gall this billionaire POS has to utter the phrase “live within our means.”

Fate of Atlantis is a cannon story to me. I never saw the two new movies, so that’s the end of the franchise for me, unless the new game is any good.

Make sure you look up a healthy diet for your bird; most parrots need fresh veggies daily. It can take some time to get them used to it, but it’s well worth the effort to have a healthy bird.

If it is a pellet/seed mix, you should likely change it out daily along with the water.

That’s crazy, thanks for sharing.

I like that hardware, too.

Oh, that’s very interesting!

I do have a 4 that I use as an emulation machine. I should try some older DOS games, I guess. Thanks!

Can you emulate x86 on the pi? I thought that was really inefficient.

I’m currently using a trick on my Windows 11 work machine to get the old UI for file explorer by going through the control panel and going up a directory.

I’ll be so pissed the day they strip it out, because their new design language is ridiculously slow and terrible for the sake of “cleanliness.”

Stella Splendens always takes me back to the 14th century.

Francken played a key role in the development of the genre of the singerie, i.e. comical paintings of monkeys in human activities and attire, often to highlight the folly of humanity. The French-language word ‘singerie’ means a ‘comical grimace, behavior or trick’. Comical scenes with monkeys appearing in human attire and a human environment are a pictorial genre that was initiated in Flemish painting in the 16th century and was subsequently further developed in the 17th century.
