I love Peanuts as much as the next guy, but I dunno if “animal standing on two legs” is a unique enough trait to say Garfield was stealing anything from Snoopy’s design. Mickey Mouse had already been walking around on two legs for decades at that point

I think Macklemore did us all a disservice by telling people $50 for a t-shirt means you’re getting swindled. $50 for a nice locally produced merino wool t-shirt is a bargain.

I imagine Macklemore’s point was that most people buying $50 shirts aren’t buying locally-produced clothes from a mom-and-pop shop; they’re buying overpriced, mass-produced shirts at department stores. I haven’t been to Kohl’s in a while, but I bet if I go to the men’s section at the one up the road from here, there will be an area with basic graphic t-shirts (mostly company logos like Coke) that are nearly $50.

Now that I’m on the topic, my most overpriced shirt is a Goo Goo Dolls shirt I picked up at a concert a few years ago. I really like the color of the shirt, but the cheap lettering on the front started coming off after a single wash. Very disappointing because it was a $45 shirt.

Sounds like your beef is less with actual “social justice” and more with bad actors co-opting the movement for their frivolous, performative virtue signalling

As someone who has never read the Constantine comics, I enjoyed the movie with Keanu Reeves. I haven’t re-watched it in years though, so I wonder if it holds up.

I got a face mask with this design on it at the start of covid. One day I was walking out of a shop and a guy wearing a jacket with the same design walked past me. We both did the “Spider-Man pointing” meme

I also figured this was just a “let’s screw with the youth”-type post. We used to eat pistachios all the time when I was a kid (I’m 35) and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a red one before today. They were always beige/greenish.

Yes, but only in one direction. If I choose to remember an embarrassing memory I can increase my body temperature by a few degrees instantly. Like a really underwhelming version of the Human Torch.

Perhaps more relevantly, the Docker image itself has not been updated in over 2 years: https://hub.docker.com/r/spacebarchat/server

Same here. I don’t know why it happens, but sometimes I can distinctly smell the inside of my nose

That’s not particularly exclusive to comics. Jokes in general are infinitely re-hashable, which is fine as long as the comedian puts in the effort to make it their own and doesn’t just steal the joke and try to pass it off as their own.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse: while Kratom isn’t an opioid, it can cause “opioid-like” and “stimulant-like” effects in the brain by activating “mu-opioid receptors”

I’m not sure I understand the wisdom here. It comes off as “we live in a society”-esque. And doesn’t really acknowledge just how many people protested the Vietnam war.

“Sure, I murdered those people, but aren’t all of the complacent, disaffected, yet broadly powerless masses equally responsible for their nation’s unjust acts of military violence? We’re not so different, you and I.”

Not every Jellyfin user is also the server administrator. If someone sets up a server and shares that server with 5 people, most of those users aren’t concerned with the privacy implications of how they connect to the server; they just want to consume content as easily as they do with Netflix, Disney, etc.

Ahh, silly me. I didn’t even notice that gear icon was there. Thanks for looking into this feature though!

Seems pretty handy. So far the extension works pretty well.

In testing out the Firefox version of the extension, I found that it would be nice if there were a “copy to clipboard” button near the “Subscribe” button for users who just want the RSS URL. I host a FreshRSS instance so the “Subscribe” button doesn’t do anything for me. Triple-clicking the URL works to highlight it all, but a single-click copy button would be a nice QoL improvement.

Oh wow, Bandle is a really neat idea. I’m adding that one to my daily puzzle folder

His mistake was not incorporating AI into the sales pitch. Crypto is so passé

After 5ish years of semi-regular practice, I don’t completely suck at chess anymore. This year saw my most dramatic improvement since I started learning how to play in earnest.

Yesterday I hit a new personal best rating at chess puzzles: 2013 Elo. Pretty proud of that

If you (or your parents) like to cook, you could get some choice steaks (or other high-end ingredients) and make a nice meal that the whole family can enjoy.

Could also get a nice game controller if you’re into video games. Most first-party controllers seem to cost about $70-$80 these days.

I dunno what the “smart” thing to do with $75 would be; $75 isn’t a whole lot of money in the grand scheme of things so investing it wouldn’t exactly pay dividends any time soon. Maybe buy 1GB of DDR5 RAM and in a year it might be worth $75,000 if the market continues its current trend.

Could try hosting a Multi-User Dungeon (MUD). I tried to host an Evennia server last year but could never get it to work properly. Wasn’t a big deal though cause it’s not like I had any friends who wanted to play, lol.
