LOL, Gators with the FG. VICTORY!

Later, bitches! 🤣🤣🤣

LOL, I don't wish them well or anything, but that one is more of a one-way rivalry because UF refused to play them for so long. Seriously, Billy losing the streak may be such a symbol of program decline that it could undo the "super vote of confidence" that spoke more to having an interim president (fuck Ben Sasse) and a likely-lame-duck AD dealing with a potentially massive sex scandal with the MBB head coach.

With the upheaval in the administration and Lagway being out, I will literally be content to keep the no-shutout streak alive. We've become perversely attached to that stupid technicality of a record.

As @glimse@lemmy.world said, I'm more interested in how something as seemingly pervasive as radio is a relic that she assumes is just one more streaming option. She approaches the world pretty literally, and just straight-up tells me that she doesn't want to listen to my stuff, LOL.

We're not quite into teen rebellion yet, though I can sense her beginning to probe at boundaries. She's a good kid with a kind heart, and she's finding her path, and I'll always support her wherever it leads, but by god I'm not listening to this when I'm trapped in a car with her. 🤣

Speak for yourself, man. I'm'a go listen to some Zeppelin and read some Shakespeare.

I'll have to dig out the TV antenna and show her what it can pull in. Not really good or bad, just one I wouldn't have predicted.

I wasn't even all that in-tune with my own generation, so seeing my peers' preferences recede into the haze of "the olden days" has occasionally been a bit of a relief and reset The idea of actual radio being baffling is amusing though.

 

I am mid-40s. My daughter is 11. I take her to school, among other driving things, and usually play NPR. Whenever she needs to refer to what she's hearing -- usually to ask if I'll turn it off so she can pull up some godawful thing where a random Youtuber squawks discordant lyrics to a Pokémon video game score -- she calls it a podcast. I've stopped correcting her, particularly since most of the "shows" release as podcasts by the next day anyway.

You need to entertain your cells!

Unless you are a soulless minion of orthodoxy...

Unfortunately, I think our intrepid SovCit is all out of bisque.

If anyone stumbles upon this with an actual need to remove cyanoacrylate glue from skin, acetone nail polish remover will do it very quickly. It's not great for you over the long term, but it's safe enough for occasional use. Just keep it way the hell away from ABS plastic.

10/01/24 some younger PD pulled me over and, YADDA YADDA YADDA, literally kidnapped me into their admiralty to sum it up.

Voyager has been working well for me.

Not that it's much to brag about, or that I'm rare for having done so, but I definitely called this one. I am really not sure how they ever really thought FreeCAD just needed Cloud PDM to make a dent in the commercial market. Hell, part of me wonders if the devs actually believed that, or if this was all a low-grade Robin Hood grift to plow some VC resources into FreeCAD for a couple of years. 🤣

 
 

29 January 2025 in Brussels. Probably the next good candidate for a 1.0 release event as well. Latest blog has them down to four release blockers, though that number can certainly drift back up as well.

 

As someone with an all-southern (US) education, this one evokes some eye-rolling memories.

 
 
 
 

Mom, can we have battleship?

We have battleship at home.

The battleship at home...

Okay, so technically this battleship is still in drydock, but I soldered 117 keys/buttons. I get to put the keycaps on early if I want!
