But when the primer comes, we see all the lines we missed. Stay in sandland just a bit longer.

Also, a pox on people that make models with lines going through fingers, rope, and hair.

I've got a foldable to deal with being on call as a sysadmin and it's so much better than lugging o laptop around. The more screen I can fit in my pocket, the better.

Are College Students Really Not Reading Anymore? in c/lifestyle@programming.dev

For me, it was the amount of effort to wade through a bunch of books to find something I actually enjoyed.

I'm inclined to consider this a moral panic about phones. I'm glad the article mentions some of the other possibilities regarding demands on students beyond notifications such as work and monetary stresses, albeit very briefly. It word have been good to get the opinion of some educators outside the literature department as well.

I'm out of energy but not out of curiosity about the spikes for Paris and the shift for Chakotay, especially since Resolutions was in season 2.

My partner likes to order her bulk teas from https://urban-teahouse.com/ in Oklahoma.

For a movie with this premise, may I recommend The Lobster

Hunting and fishing are for psychopaths (programming.dev)
 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

Knives go in the dishwasher and get sharpened with a pull through sharpener (programming.dev)
 

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.

[Request] Make blocked users not show up in inbox and profile views (programming.dev)
 

Blocking a user hides their content in comments, but it still shows up in inbox when viewing all as well as in comment chains in the profile view. It would be great if blocked users didn't show up in these places.

Let me know if there's more info needed.

Rabid Wombat - Kaja Foglio (programming.dev)
 

I still remember this card and its artwork. Holy moly, the date on it is 30 years ago.

The Foglios have been involved in quite a few projects over the years and it took a while for me to make the link between this card and Girl Genius.

Coop Board game Shadows of Brimstone (boardgamegeek.com)
 

Western setting where a new gold rush for dark stone pits gunslingers, lawmen, saloon girls, etc against tentacles, the undead, mutated gangsters, snakemen, and lost technology as they travel between worlds.

It's coop and there are different missions, most of which have randomly generated maps that are created from a deck on you explore, giving it endless replayability. Characters gain experience, skill, and gear but also can become injured or mutate (nothing the church or surgeon in town can't fix for a price).

It also has tons of expansions. While the physical games add up in cost and require a lot of organizing, you can give it a try on tabletop simulator.

There's even a Japanese themed set that can combine with the Western ones.
