There is always the story of Mel's Hole.

@kaia

Its a state thing.

Texas doesn't make you declare your party when registering to Vote.

This is probably for states with Closed Primaries where only members of a specific party get to vote for that parties nominee.

No matter what age we live in... People demand to be Entertained.

@BeAware

The stories are always important.

Of course the characters the athletes and management create as critical. Modern Day gladiators really...

... Apparently historically there is very little difference between Gladiators in the Roman Colosium and a WWE wrestler. Down to merch and sponsorship deals.

@BeAware

Maybe if it was the 90s again, but that's me.

The power of Myth, Legend, and the desire for a good story to go with your Spicy treat.

@kaia

Maybe, but the real question is... Is it usable?

The real issue is the same as always. Convincing people to move over or at least make an account on a server even if they keep the old one.

Hoping to get contacted about that lens on Facebook Marketplace from last week. Probably gonna go buy it Saturday. The Pentax is still in the Shop, no word on that yet but the tech did say there was a three week lead time at the moment.

May hunt down a Coleman camp oven, not to be confused with the camp stove. The oven is basically a metal box that sits on top of the oven for it's actual heat source.

Eyeing Solar battery generator options as well. Ideas.

So, I am still hitting the gym, and even on days when my performance isn't anything special I am still going.

So 3 months in and feeling at least better. Not necessarily the best, I have a headache and woke up with a burning throat this morning that took 2 cups of coffee to sooth.

Lost about 10 pounds so far in weight. Still need a measure tape or bmi reading and such.

Working on my diet as well. Trying to find both healthy but also easy to store food for work.

So I got my hands on a Huion Pen Tablet and after running the ubuntu based setup in Gentoo after installing dpkg, I now have the ability to draw with a pen... Now I just need to learn how to write.

@kaia

I have done from Northern California to South Carolina and back.

That sort of road trip is always fun. Especially when you go off and see things you weren't planning on.

@solidsanek

It's an older code, Sir. But it checks out.

@prettygood

... Yeah... That's a shit response.

From Nightmare Nostalgia:

Coleco’s manly answer to Easy Bake Oven, was this Pizza Hut oven that first debuted in 1975. Just add water and a lightbulb for a personal pan!

I hate to say it, but you are right. No one I tried to even think of doing so did it. Same with Threads Federation. Couldn't get them to just flip a switch.

At least with X I could understand. Federation isn't an option, so you are trying to convince them to move completely to a different thing entirely. And with the Gatekeepers around here they might not enjoy it anyways.

But Threads and Bluesky have the option, it just requires a little bit of effort.
