Reduce chances of bad electrical things happening. 1 electrical fires, 2 damage due to surges, I unplug some stuff during thunderstorms too.

Although flipping breakers could be faster, that requires wanting to unplug everything on the circuit, and having a well labeled breaker panel.

Things like turning the water off, or unplugging things... At minimum I shut the water valve and unplug pretty much anything I can. I'll usually set the thermostats to be a little more extreme than usual. Do you do anything?

I got sent this, I don't know why someone would want to send it to me? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2892590/Moth_Planet/ I know nothing about it.

This also doesn't show as a crosspost because you included some of the tracking data in the url, and the other locations don't. Lemmy automatically adds the "cross-posted to: " when the link matches existing posts.

The important part of the description

Almost 2 years ago, I saw a video that Steve Mould made about something called an atomic trampoline and the moment that I saw it, I really wanted to one. The only sad part is that it is now impossible to buy one, so instead, I decided to just make one myself.

So it seems someone got control of the registrar. So guess for a failure of networksolutions? social engineering of the same? or phishing?

update: August 22 FA is back up. See announcement on twitter, discord, or screenshots of the same floating around.

I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn't exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. Its a pointless thing, most people probably don't notice, but its wrong.

Fake internet points to anyone who knows why DB-9 bothers me.

Edit: corrected a missing n in an eastern

A very Mr. Regular video about Anthrocon. A guest appearance of lots of stairs.

If your willing to share how would you describe your internal demons. I think most people probably have some. Some have more control than others.

My two biggest are a petrifying fear of change, and one I don't know how to articulate well, a petrifying fear of interaction would probably be the best short description.

Change/future: when I left my old job, I had a new one already. Everyone already knew I was leaving. Actually, officially, putting in my 2 weeks notice took me almost a full workday to work up the courage to submit, and I'd already told my boss weeks earlier. I don't like my job now, have a few other things I could consider and the financial means to do it, but I am terrified of following through on any of it. What if I don't like it... What if.. what if... what if... I don't like what I do now, but I am comfortable doing it. I work from home and have wanted to move for over 5 years. I know some of this could be risk aversion, but it seems excessive and irrational at times.

Interactions: Even before submitting my first post here, filling out the form with why I wanted to join was hard for me to do; submitting my first post was terrifying. Even now I have a little worry every time. Its getting better with time, and I do what I can to fight it, but its always there. It took me 10 years before I clicked the watch button on an artist's page. I've never been "normal" and I guess I had some fear of being "found out" or shame? dunno. I was afraid someone I might know would be there. I don't know why, that's why they're demons. I recently joined a few discord servers, I feel like an imposter, that I don't belong, that nobody wants to hear what I have to say, or I'm being in the way. I don't know if its just some social anxiety, or something deeper.

Everybody always says modern pop music is terrible, your suffering from recency bias. Take a look at top 40s from 20 years ago. You'll probably see a bunch of songs you forgot about because they didn't stand the test of time. Old music isn't better, you just only still hear the good stuff.

Video description for those who use a non US lemmy instance:

I'm back and I'm talking about old stuff that I miss


My best description would be a video essay about how interactions with technology change how media is looked at.

In the last week of December, 2028, humanity forgot about more than a century of pop culture. You've probably never thought about it, and never found it strange — but the reason is an artificial intelligence called Earworm.

⏩ is a series of YouTube videos from a future.

WHY WE FORGOT THE 20TH CENTURY

I've always kinda like the from a future videos.

the next dev, Hey this obscure feature probably doesn't work, should I fix it... No, I'll just patch "temporary-fix-don't-use" and let the next guy fix it properly.

Famous Furries? (yiffit.net)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Who are some celebrities, youtubers, or other notable people who you think or know are probably furries even if they don't explicitly acknowledge it.

I'll propose John Oliver, I would say Mr. Regular too, but he has publicly acknowledged it for a while now.

Because youtube metadata is having issues, here is the description:

AC's fursuit guest of honor was the incredibly talented Sardyuon from Japan, and he wowed Anthrocon attendees three times on the main stage in the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom at the convention center.

This was the first of his performances, his United States debut on Friday night. It was his first time to the states and it was an honor to be graced with his presence. Watch, enjoy, and be astounded at one of the greatest fursuit talents in the world today!

Among the first fursuit videos I cam across. Its an oldie but still one of my favorites.

Its a fursuit video in a furry video community, let the down-votes commence.

You might not like the prices, but computer components, cpu, gpu, motherboard.. keep getting better each generation, some bugs cause issues, but that's due to trying to maximize performance, not cheeping out. 3-d printer tech. In fact, thinking about it, a lot of competitive products keep their quality. Also small brand premium products in general.

That is the tire that the lap was set with. It is colored the same as the banding on the tires. Red s, yellow M, or white H.

Standard drone/helicopter shots, sure. They have to use a wide angle and a huge distance to follow the car through a corner or two.
But this is a narrow angle with a fairly close distance to the car. I think there is a pretty good sense of speed here.

Just big enough to almost fit your hand in. Better than a cat though (also Tirrel).

I also can't believe I didn't immediately recognize the artist.
