I am on a 6834 game win streak in spider solitaire. This wasn’t all this year, but this is where I am now. Out of 9215 games I’ve lost 3 times, twice at the beginning when I didn’t realize you could undo the whole game and start again, and one when my phone glitched. It’s a small easily achievable goal when my life/brain is too much. I don’t think I’ll make 10k games before new years, but that’s ok. Shout out to Digital Smoke for making a solitaire app that doesn’t track you.
I love Inkscape, it’s so intuitive! I didn’t even need to read the docs. And now that Affinity is coming to Linux I’m hoping I can switch my work to these options.
I found a really nice horizontal loaf style machine at my local thrift store and the loaves come out just like regular store bought loaves. We also use it to knead and proof dough if we’re doing something that needs a different shape. It’s been a game changer for sure.
Bread guillotine gets the most use by far, but the toaster oven and bread machine would be next. Instant pot after that.
Absolutely it is! The whole Nutcracker is amazing. The best production of it is hands down the Pacific Northwest Ballets version, with the sets and costumes by Maurice Sendak. I’ve watched it every Xmas since I was a kid. My grandparents gave me a VHS of it when it first came out. I’ve had to do surgery on it when the tape came off one end, still works. You can find it on YouTube, it’s the only thing I’ve bought from them lol.
I got to see it in person in Seattle while I was pregnant with my daughter. I totally cried.
Ooh, I have the whole alphabet as a poster somewhere! Need to did that out and hang it up. Thanks for the reminder!
Me too crow… me too.
20 years this Christmas, married for 15. Still my favourite person to putter around with.
I cut up my spaghetti with a knife and fork and then eat it. In front of my window. I don’t fear angry Italians.
Ha, I went the other way. Did like openSUSE but fedora has more resources for a newbie.
I would download a bunch a watch them when I would fly. Makes the stress of traveling a lot easier.
Thanks so much!
That looks like amazing comfort food. Would you mind sharing some recipes?
My husband has a collection of obsolete technology. The oldest thing he’s got in there is a VT100 terminal.
Thank you for this! My husband has an old surface and it’s getting slow as shit. Didn’t think there was a way to get Linux on it. Cheers!
So first off, hells yes to Harvey Birdman! That was my husband and I’s you want to hang out and watch something show when we were first dating. Sealab 2021, Space Ghost, Adventure Time, Aeon Flux, and Futurama all have a special place too.
You’ve put it very well. And as someone that lives in BC, I agree wholeheartedly.
I really love that you did that. I hope some kid (or an adult that’s a kid at heart) found it! Imagine how stoked they were!
For sure! After you steam them form them into little logs (ngl, they look like little shits) and freeze them. Then when you’re making a soup or curry or whatever, just throw one in.
A perm. I wanted one so bad back in the 80s. Luckily my hairdresser, who was my whole family’s hairdresser and a friend too, refused. She was a tiny Thai lady who was a force of nature, had a little half basement salon in DC. We would all go and get our hair cut together, I think mostly because there was a pub nearby my dad could go have drinks at while he waited for us.
I’m sure that her reasoning was sound in that it would destroy my hair, but I also think both her and my mom knew how terrible it would look since I’m lazy af and wouldn’t style it. Over the years I’ve only ever dyed my hair a handful of times, never curled or straightened it, no product as I can’t stand the feeling of it. I think it’s helped keep it healthy and now as I’m hitting later 40s and finally know how to really care for it (and have a hairdresser that understands my curls), it’s FABULOUS. Very little grey, big curls and ringlets. It’s the hair I’ve always wanted. Still don’t do shit to it lol. Lazy ftw!
