We have an American Pope. But it not being Micheal Ian Black is a wound my younger self may never recover from.

I played enough Zork that I’m never surprised by grues.

Animal Detective: The dog you’re looking for weighs close to 200lbs, walks exclusively inside shoe prints, and (based on the trash in the area) is fond of playing Edward 40 Hands.

I’ve always appreciated that the black rat’s name is Rattus rattus. It’s the rattiest rat that’s ever ratted, it’s right there in the name.

David Cronenberg keeps himself busy.

This is a post that reminds me I’m not wearing my reading glasses.

When I was in college my roommates and I would open all those offers standing at the mailbox, seal the empty envelopes back up, then put then right back in the mailbox for the carrier to grab the next day (or maybe mail thieves, who knows). We figured just mailing them all back was going to cost something.

Blink. Winks are asymmetrical.

If you leave a preacher hanging, you’re leaving god hanging.

My mom also used ours to hold dough during rising.

I had so many of those as a child. In hindsight, having a drawer full of (sometimes damp) animal shaped sponges was weird.

The link text goes in the square brackets, then the full url goes in the parenthesis. And if you put an exclamation point in front of the first bracket, it’ll display the image instead of link to it.

The Grimace birthday shake, the one at the McD that still has the Grimace jail, and Grimace.

I use Proxmox because its handy to be able to use both LXC containers and full VMs. I installed it as an ISO so its built on top of Debian. There are helper scripts specific to installing Home Assistant on a VM (as well as a number of other things). And the proxmox UI comes in handy.

I have Home Assistant in a VM so I can run it on top of HAOS. Then the rest of the box is set up as an unprivileged LXC where I installed docker. I run all my *ARR apps straight on my Synology (via docker) so they have fast access to my Library volume, and everything else running on the setup I just described. Then I use Portainer to maintain my containers so I can manage both the syno and proxmox docker installs from one page.

Not true at all. If you want to run Home Assistant on top of Home Assistant OS then it needs to be on bare metal or a full VM because its an OS. Running on HAOS is easy mode, but not required.

Modern generations will never know what’s been lost.

When I was a kid we had an electric piano with a degauss button. It was more fun than learning to play.

• Laughing burns about 1 calorie per minute.
• I may have 10 extra pounds of fat stored on my fucking ass (probably a bit less, but round numbers are nice)
• Fat is 4100 calories per pound
• 41,000 minutes is roughly 1 lunar month of nonstop laughing

Now you just need to convert units of funny into lunar months of laughing. I’m not doing all your homework for you.

He’s super pee-shy, can we use that against him?

Most of my stupid spelling mistakes, missing words, and other typing errors are because I developed the terrible habit of proofreading only in the instant between hitting the post button and the subsequent UI refresh. The better my lemmy host is running, the lower the readability of what I’ve posted.

I’ve also noticed that muscle memory does some strange stuff to my typing. Like in the first sentence of this comment I typed “instance” rather than “instant.” I meant instant but, since I work with AWS 5 days a week, my fingers autopiloted instance because I type it much more often.

I’m starting a 2nd order monkey typing business attempting to use a bigger infinity of monkeys to eventually recreate the works of the first set of infinite monkeys.
