I wonder if there is ant other situation in life where strangers are as openly mean to each other as they are to their teammates in video games? in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Fucking NPCs on the freeway!

/s of course, but yeah: road rage.

Don't forget the mandatory quarterly drug testing at the shittiest understaffed LabCorp "branch" at least 45 minutes from both work and home.

What else would a good actor do?

Sidenote: I think Face Off is a perfect embodiment of this sentiment. An objectively terrible movie with a monumentally dumb premise, and his acting is what takes it from unwatchable to downright fun.

Necessities for small automotive help bag? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Flex tape or other wet seal tape for hose repair.

Channel lock and a small mixed set of worm drive clamps.

Other things I don't see mentioned: JB weld, RTV (silicone sealant), thread chasers, tire spoons, dialectric grease, all depends on the services you want to offer!

Nope. But mine says "welcome foolish mortals."

Swimming in sparkling water in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Definitely. Anytime you're fermenting in an open vessel, the CO2 builds up and pushes air out. If you stick your face below the lip of the vessel, and breathe in, the tingles get ya.

Rejoined the red team (lemmy.world)
 

I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

Fixed the toaster (lemmy.world)
 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

Podman Quadlets are so cool (lemmy.world)
 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Paste wax (lemmy.world)
 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
