i have an old LCD TV that i didnt know what to do with (not really great for any kind of gaming) so i set it up so that anyone staying over can turn the tv on to see a guest wifi QR code

pretty happy to set up a bunch of automations in my home as someone who struggles to adhere to routines, now i just have natural light in here all day (and all my adorable LED lamps and other knickknacks lighting up at night) without having to think about it and mentally it feels so much better

thinking about selling my never-opened SMRPG 1996 keychains (peach, bowser, yoshi, shyguy) and just buying (or trading for) opened ones instead, possibly a longshot but lmk if interested

I used USB powered battery packs sharing a three port brick connected to a smart plug so now they can all light up at night :)

Now that Sean and i live together and have combined our possessions, it's standing on top of an armoire with 2 similar figurines i got from my parents as Christmas presents. I only realized a week ago that these things take batteries and light up

the first time Sean and I met irl was at agdq 2017 and that week we had a big community smrpg any% race. Lack tasked me with handing out a prize (a smb3 Pixel Pals standee) to whoever finished first that did NOT already have a sub 3 PB. Sean was the winner of that

I guess for everyone who said shit like "Hamas can just release the hostages and then Gazans won't be starved anymore so really it's their fault" can go ahead and blame Netanyahu for Israeli tourists having their passports thrown out!

tell me how my dude daulton varsho has played a third as many games as the rest of the team and has the 5th most home runs?

kirk also has a GORGEOUS wife who is significantly taller than him and i think that also rules

blue jays reliever brendon little being a wife guy is probably my favourite discovery of the week

Here it is!!! This is the device that lets you connect your Game Boy Advance to your Wii/Gamecube while still being plugged into a charger. Message Semicolon7645 on Reddit to get one! 10/10 seller, very affordable price too. He'll even 3D print a case for you, I also got a red one for my red GBA :)

Im not a yankees hater, for 3 reasons: - I know lots of you are fans - I visited YS last year and had a good time - YS was sold out of ice cream helmets, so a guy from the Yankees sub mailed me two But I cant deny it feels great to see my team perform so well against a juggernaut team!!! 😭

The scoreboards at the rogers centre show you a "fan assist" number you can text if needed. I joked "should I text and ask them to get Brendon Little to wish me a happy birthday?" Immediately after he got his 69th season strikeout on Aaron Judge, so I think the intent was there
pidge, the Super Jumper (@pidgezero.one) reply parent
That counts in my mind

Lefty knuckleball genius seems like a hell of a combo, he only ever does 1 inning a game though (but hes played in a ton of games)
pidge, the Super Jumper (@pidgezero.one) reply parent
Our bullpen was awful last year but this year weve just got reliable arms out of nowhere especially this dude
pidge, the Super Jumper (@pidgezero.one) reply parent
Yeah thats his big thing is disappearing knuckleballs (idk the terminology but that probably gets the picture across)
pidge, the Super Jumper (@pidgezero.one) reply parent
Like these pitch charts are just an average outing, nasty work. Can't believe our relievers are good
pidge, the Super Jumper (@pidgezero.one)
Brendon Little debuted with the Cubs in an away game vs the Jays. Hit the first batter, fell over trying to get a guy out, gave up a nuke, got sent back to AAA. Cubs then traded him to the Jays (???). Jays were like "i can fix him." But it kinda looks like hes actually the one fixing us

Remember the part in "Earthbound 64" where they ran out of time to develop Chapter 7, so they just made it into a slideshow? Can't believe they got away with that. 『MOTHER 3 N64』で、開発時間が足りなくなってチャプター7をスライドショーにしたのを覚えている?今でも信じられない。 #MOTHER3 #XENOGEARS

Join hacker spaces, keep making stuff, your ideas and creativity matter no matter what anyone with a fatter bank account than I'll ever see in my lifetime can tell you. I dont see a feasible path to victory in the culture war against big tech but your creativity alone is resistance
pidge, the Super Jumper (@pidgezero.one) reply parent
I don't have a satisfying conclusion to draw here. It sucks that there's a cycle of profit ruining innovation so that it can be replaced by something worse. If you see a project you really like that has no VC backing i guess donate to the creators kofis or patreons or something. idk

ChatGPT as an alternative to search engines is the end result of choices the tech world made over 10 years ago. Aggressive SEO turned search results from something meant to be read by people into something meant to be read by machines. A natural language alternative filling that gap seems inevitable

You dont even need to have any kind of residency status in Canada or you could just be in Ontario part time ie at a university dorm. They don't ask you for your status.

It was rough when Sean was looking for work last year. Straight up the kind of work he does is for places that probably dont even post their open positions online and usually exist in one particular city district. I used Google maps to find businesses to apply to directly

I remember last year recognizing one of the organization names as one I knew had helped new Canadians escape abusive marriages of sponsorship. Being a spousal sponsor myself, Im at least a little familiar with the vulnerability that a newcomer has, and that really spoke to me.
