I have a friend who used to drink too much water. This eventually lead to him having dangerously low sodium levels but he didn’t know that. One day, he knew something was wrong and was yelling to his landlady next door to get help. He passed out outside of his apartment. Then he was in a coma for 4 days.

I asked him what the coma was like. He said he remembered having a vague sense of panic like he was still trying to get his landlady. He doesn’t remember, but when he first woke up, he was screaming her name and fighting the nurses.

You were more subtle than my friends. In the computer lab, we would just change “the” to “fuck”

Yeah it’s not the best option. But it did popularize the form factor

I think most PowerA controllers don’t have gyro or NFC. PowerA is what you’re most likely to find as a 3rd party controller.

On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.

Has this changed? It used to be that sexting was explicitly just referring to sending nudes and the surrounding horny conversation. If you’re right, the definition has broadened to include flirting or locker room humor.

What should really happen is Dr Disrespect should release the DMs (after redacting any details of the minor) so we can stop speculating about how bad this is.

Liquid IV. I’ll bring a few packets if I know I’m going to be sweating. It’s also great for a hangover.

I need to leave this thread. Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time.

If you’re trying to play with your son, Smash Ultimate is good. It also has a good amount of single-player content.

Agreed. During the pandemic, I adopted a policy of unsubbing to any subreddit that made me angry. Usually this came in the form of people bringing up trump/capitalism/whatever out of completely nowhere. luckily the Beehaw people seem to be pretty good about actually having conversations and not just devolving into mocking trump every second. But whenever I venture into some of the other instances, I see some of Lemmy’s true colors. Chronically online people completely out of touch with reality kinda run shit around here.

Federated alternatives are slowly building steam and people seem to have gotten pretty salty about corporate social media

I think you’re overselling the importance of this one. When I’ve talked to friends about federated alternatives, they really aren’t interested. Even if they hated Twitter/reddit and think they’ve gotten worse, they just don’t really care about a federated alternative. I’ve heard some interest in threads, so maybe we count that?

Then, the sequels were so consistently mediocre that the original was more or less erased from history.

I will not have you slander Battlefield Vietnam like this. I spent countless hours on a “heliwars” server after school as a kid.

In car circles, Miata owners often say that Miata stands for “Miata Is Always The Answer”

I think the 10 commandments are in Exodus which is also one of the books where God says exactly how you should own slaves. So that would be a weird one.

I’m now imagining rgb trains. Mechanical turn styles, high refresh rate info screens, giant AIO coolers.

I’m this way with body wash. However with deodorant, I use a Japanese deodorant. I lived in Japan for a while, got used to it, and now American deodorants kind of hurt. I import it now. When I was working for a Japanese company, I’d have colleagues bring big boxes of it to re-up.

I think Neuromancer would work well as a heavily stylized animation.

I’ll check him out for sure. I really like precision engineering so anything in that vein has my attention. Nice username btw.

Rob Renzetti is about precision machining in a small shop environment. You can definitely tell he’s a precision machinist first and YouTuber second, which I like. He goes into detail on his thought process and execution for achieving extreme tolerances on parts.

Dan Gelbart is a very successful business man who made his fortune inventing new machines and building them. He now has a money-is-no-object workshop. His “building prototypes” series is a must watch for creators. The video on flexures blew my mind. He shows how to create complex, accurate machines with simple tools quickly.

Both of these guys don’t upload often. When they do, I drop what I’m doing and put my full attention into it.

Torque is an app that can connect to a cheap Bluetooth plug that goes into your car’s OBD2 port. You can set up custom gauge readouts, log data, check engine codes, measure power and torque. It was very useful to me when my car was overheating since I could get a coolant temp read out. Also when my alternator died since I could get a voltage readout.
