Come on, Wiz. You have Glitterdust and Stinking Cloud for crying out loud!

if your router is able to you can set up ACLs to allow the TV access to your network but not the internet.

I had an Atari 800XL as my first PC with 2 5.25’’ floppy drives and a cartridge slot for which I had only 2 games: Pengo and Galaxian. On the floppy drive I was able to play a ton of games including Ultima 4, which really got me into fantasy RPGs.

A wonderful game, but I have always been fond of its spiritual predecessors: Starflight and Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula.

I managed to get everything moved over except some google data, man they are bastards. I am happy to be a little more extracted from their ecosystem though.

Yeah, running /e/ on the new phone, so it isn’t an option.

Great Wolf Sif because I can’t bring myself to kill a loyal pupper who is trying to save me.

Probably wrapping and cooking our food in volatile plastics.

Old Sharlayan from FFXIV.

Recent events have certainly displayed how fearful the owners of media are of the masses getting ideas all on their own.

I am moving to a blue state as soon as possible. Work already lined up, working on housing and arrangements for my animals. It’s not safe here.

It’s the sound of snow squeak-crunching under my feet for me. I shudder every time it happens.

Main-lining high grade depression. It’s my go-to threat when someone tells me they think anime is ‘too silly’ to watch.

With this model everything about you will be shared with every appliance in the vicinity.

I really, really dislike social situations that don’t have formal structure to them. Professionally I can talk to strangers no problem, because roles and expectations are set, similarly I can go to a tabletop gaming convention and play games with people and it’s fine.

I struggle in situations where the rules are more nebulous, but I still manage it. It just takes practice. I definitely lean on my husband for that type of thing when I can though.

I live in a major city

• To the nearest convenience store: 500m
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 2.7km
• To the bus stop: 400m
• To the nearest park: 1.4km
• To the nearest big supermarket: 2.7km (same one as above)
• To the nearest library: 3km
• To the nearest train station (light rail): 5.6km

Yeah, I’ve read the whisker fatigue thing, I’ve read that it’s probably not true also, but my cat bowls are wide anyway. The cat is just nuts. Like in general. Like she may actually have mental illness. The colony I got her from has produced a lot of cats with congenital issues. I have one with a vsd and another with testicular agenesis (which is apparently extremely rare).

I have a cat with a heart condition who sleeps in the middle of the floor with his eyes open. He is all black too so you can’t see if he’s breathing. It’s gotten me just so many times.

Another cat doesn’t eat directly from the bowl, instead she sits next to the bowl and spears food on her claws and licks it off like it’s a fork.

It’s just a plausible mechanism for immortality since it exists in nature and it lets you be young again. It would be nice not to have all the random pains and aches that come with age and get a reset on physical youth when needed.

It’s more like biotic reversal so no time travel, just suddenly de-aging until just before biological puberty in a similar fashion as turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish. Ideally, memory and personality remain intact. Afterwards, aging begins again normally so it’s effective biological immortality.
