• If someone is sweaty or peeing yellow, the fight against their thirst is on.
• Only two cups of water (is not nearly enough)
• One cup of water at a time is plenty, but you should drink more
• No shirt, no shoes. Don’t want to get those wet.
• Drinking will continue for as long as the subject is not properly hydrated.
• If this is your first glass of water today, you have to drink it.

Water fucking rules, man.

Nope. You’re off by a power of 10 because 30 meters is 0.03 km.

So it’s 2,040,000 blue whales per hour. ;)

But in terms of miles an hour? About 38,000. Or, as the crow flies, LA to New York in 3 minutes and 51 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to listen to the hit Madonna song “4 Minutes.”

Not to mention how plastic recycling isn’t exactly easy anyway. Not all jurisdictions take all kinds of plastic. So you have to know what your recycling center can handle and what you’re tossing in or risk contamination.

I go out of my way to buy things shipped in paper, glass, or metal containers. Even though steel and aluminum cans do have a little plastic in them, it’s far less plastic than containers made entirely of it.

It would be nice if we could have more things sold in the bulk section so you can bring your own container. Like, if I could buy laundry detergent or shampoo using my own containers, that’d be sick.

My cats are on automatic feeders. So when the time change happened in fall, I didn’t adjust those clocks. As far as they were concerned, they got fed on time.

Now that the time changed back, those clocks are right again lol

Good drivers miss their exit sometimes. Bad drivers never miss their exit. Pat yourself on the back knowing you’re on of the good ones.

I once missed my exit in the middle of nowhere and had to drive an extra 20 miles until I reached the next exit so I could turn around, go back those 20 miles, and take the right exit lol

Blue has always been a favorite of mine, but purple has really grown on me lately. Naturally, I love bluish purples.

Once you figure out that purple doesn’t actually exist it’s even neater. Purple and magenta are colors your brain makes up when it sees red and blue light at the same time.

I bought this can opener after watching a Technology Connections video, and I kinda love my can opener.

My laptop doesn’t have dust filters, but the fan almost never runs anyway. Like the heatsink is way overbuilt for the CPU it’s attached to. It’s actually quite nice. I’ve never seen it hit 70 degrees. I’ve cleaned it maybe three times since 2016. It really only spins the fan up when I’m watching 60 fps YouTube videos or playing games. And even then, it kicks hard for a very short time and shuts off again.

And again, I bought this thing nine years ago. It’s just a little Acer. And it’s not even a nice one. I paid like 500 bucks for this thing.

Now, my wife’s MacBook that she games on…yeah, I need to figure out how to get the back off so it can get a proper dusting. Fuck you, Apple. Let me work on my stuff, dammit.

There is r/petloss for that. I lost my dog Nike (image link) in 2019, and it devastated me. About a week later, I posted her with this image (ext link: imgur) to petloss.

I don’t think these folks are disgusting for venting about their lost loved ones. It is hard losing a pet. I guess at that time, I wanted someone else in the world to know about her, the life she lived with us, how dearly we loved her, and how much she’s missed. It was a pretty long-winded eulogy. Conciseness was never my strong suit. Different people grieve differently.

But I do believe that you should look for the relevant subs/communities to post about losing a pet and refrain from making that kind of post on those for more general pet posting. At the same time, I think awareness is key. I’d reckon if you’re posting to r/cats or r/dogs instead of r/petloss, you’re probably not aware of it. I tend to assume grieving pet parents aren’t trying to karma farm.

The world is already shitty enough, and I don’t need to bring myself down with that kind of thinking anyway.

I hear this image.

Okie here. Yup.

The dock auto hides lol

And as a multi-monitor user, I’m finding that part to be true. I’ve got my panels set up on each of my monitors exactly the way I want. Plus, controlling the wallpaper independently on each monitor as a built-in feature is dope.

How are your knees?

If you ever feel useless, just know that Edge is available for Linux on Debian and its forks.

I didn’t realize winget was exclusive to Pro. I ran Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 Pro from launch day until I stopped using Windows altogether last year. A Windows 7 Home Premium license was significantly more expensive after Windows 8 launched at 40 bucks, and I needed an OS for my new gaming rig.

Latte. I run Debian so this is Plasma 5. As I understand it, Latte doesn’t work in Plasma 6.
