3 months agoMy boiled egg slicer. It seemed really frivolous when I bought it, and I probably only use it five or six times a year at best but man if it doesn’t cut down prep time for any salad with boiled egg in it, it also works with avocados!

5·3 months ago@squeakycat That is every Hopper ever, basically.
@yamapikariya I feel like there’s a distinction to be made between Americans _visiting _a city and the people that live there.
For instance, when I lived in the SF Bay Area, ques for services locals used were efficient and well-ordered unless jackass tourists were involved. IIRC (it’s been a while), everyone standing on the BART escalators would be on the left, leaving the right half of the escalator for people in a hurry to walk up or down the stairs. But mix in a few American tourists and it was just willy nilly people everywhere.
7:00 AM? All locals, everything is good. 1:00 PM? Good fucking luck.
Tourists also don’t seem to understand or CARE that the city they’re visiting has to run somehow, and they meander around on the sidewalks oblivious to everyone else like they’re in a theme park.
TL;DR - - Americans know how to queue, they just don’t do very well when they’re out of their element in unfamiliar places.

And please don’t use “female” to describe women unless you’re writing a police report.
@httpjames Back in the day I liked to dabble in Linux, and I always liked the IT people in the larger firms I worked at so I imagine it’s understanding basics of code, and then a lot of googling for fixes to problems people have already dealt with, composting code with templates and tweaking it to work with the specifics of the job at hand and then taking credit for saving everything because people are dumb.
@The_Picard_Maneuver “Who’s the bestest kitty inna whole wide world - - it’s Rudy! Rudycat. With ears and eyes and toes and nose it’s Rudy! Rudycat.”
@Belzebubulubu All of Jazz plus Rock and Roll and Hip Hop?
@WoodenBleachers But his sources were Norse, primarily, so by extension the argument can be made that the characters should all have Scandinavian accents.
01·8 months ago@GentlemanLoser That’s some weird assed etymology on that word. But at least I’m not a dick about being correo.
@SeahorseTreble I’d say say “no thanks, I’m sober” I guess but I’d definitely invite you golfing (it’s teatotal, like the beverage, not teetotaler). 😉
@dan1101 Or a school board that wants to teach the “benefits” of slavery, or an antivaxxer that’s in charge of the health department, or a city council that wants to run things “like a business” and winds up endangering citizens health by de-regulating environmental and water regulations to cut costs.
@whenigrowup356 Yup. And then you have the New World animals where we use the name of the animal for both the animal and the meat, like buffalo.
I just fell in love with West Virginia a few weeks back. So beautiful and while not a blue state, exactly, the people there were so welcoming and kind.
I’d say the best places to reside in Michigan are going to be in the lower half of the Lower Penninsula if you want a temperate climate. Doesn’t mean winter won’t fuck your shit up at least two or three times a year.
Beautiful nature spots are a day trip or long weekend away and quite lovely, though smaller in scale than the sprawling, mountainous naturescapes of California. We don’t have anything quite as epic as Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, or the Redwoods here (souece: Michigander lived 13 years in the Bay Area), but we do have some very lovely areas and they’re imo much more accessible for the average Joe. Oh yeah and when fall comes in, the color is AMAZING. It’s a rather flat state all in all, though. Most places you have to drive to see anything rolling lamdscape-wise. It makes winter with all of the leaves off of the trees rather bleak if you’re in sputhern Michigan.
But, there’s a lot of interesting lore that you don’t really get anywhere else like Great Lakes shipping/shipwrecks, bootlegging hotspots, a fucking shit-ton of musical history, tons of breweries and local agricultural festivals. If you’re willing to pick and choose your urban areas, you can definitely find those spaces that have a Californian vibe about them, but they’re not really centralized.
131·1 year agoI love how, in the end, Boimler did influence the future timeline, but he did it in a really wholesome way.
@Fuzzy_Dunlop
It’s more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you’d probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn’t written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.
Not to be one of those people that yaps on about that aggregator site that makes money leaching off of content provided and moderated by users or anything, but this would be my first instance of hopping onto something posted to the Fediverse that was unexpected and awesome and so much fun!
I’d have dully waited until Thursday, too.
@EndOfLine That’s exactly the look my cat gives me while he’s knocking knicknacks off of the spice rack.
Every action by the Satanic Temple?
Though they are kind of amusing trolls about it.
