I think they’re the same, just different pictures. There are other variants of Canada Dry, but they typically incorporate other colors to distinguish themselves.
I’m guessing this machine is in a high ginger ale demand area.

No problem! Unfortunately I haven’t tried their DIY kits, but I’ve bought several things from them and they’ve all been solid, so I imagine they’d be good.

Some that I don’t think I saw mentioned, roughly in the chronological order I played them in:
- Mario 3
- Kirby Superstar
- Super Mario RPG
- Baldur’s Gate
- Lords of the Realm 2
- Diddy Kong Racing
- Tales of Symphonia
- Undertale

In case you’re not aware, check out Ship of Harkinian, an updated PC engine for OoT. Grab a proper controller if you have the cash.
OoT in 2K at 200fps is wild.

- Comment on Is this accurate, Canadians? 3 weeks ago:
Try not to judge us too hard for this. We kicked Kate out for a reason (lighting up a fat joint in an elementary school classroom isn’t cool here). She’s got the rest right on, though.

dessalines is known for questionable moderation. Avoid the .ml communities when possible.

- Comment on Galinda and elphaba's names both start with the same letter as gratitude and envy. The opposing virtue and sin. And Elphie is "green with envy". 1 month ago:
Galinda and Elphaba’s names both start with the same letter as gullible and enlightened. The opposing sin and virtue. And Elphie is green like a growing plant.
And this actually relates to the story. More relevant than ever for those of us in countries with rising fascist movements.

- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 1 month ago:
To be fair, food is their #1 priority for most of their life. Also, Potato is a great name for a dog (especially a rotund one).
- Comment on Sending someone LLM output in response to a question they ask is the intellectual equivalent of sending an unsolicited dick pic. 1 month ago:
They’re both garbage, sure, but I wouldn’t call it an equivalent. Especially in severity–one is insulting, the other is sexual harassment.
The key word is “unsolicited.” An LLM response to a question you ask is garbage, but it’s solicited garbage. Like asking someone in Home Depot where the hammers are, and having them take 10 minutes for them to look it up on their phone. It’s a stupid response, but it was solicited. It’s at least a lazy attempt to respond relevantly, however insulting.
- Comment on 'Fake it till you make it' insinuates fakers stop being fake, once they make it; reality seems to suggest otherwise 1 month ago:
Ah, but that is the great reality–those who “male it” are themselves still faking it, and the question is: are they really faking anymore, or is this who they really are?
- Comment on Sending someone LLM output in response to a question they ask is the intellectual equivalent of sending an unsolicited dick pic. 1 month ago:
I don’t quite get the equivalence there. I’d say an LLM response is more on par with responding with a link to lmgtfy.com or something.
The intellectual equivalent of sending someone a dick pic would be a cold contact with LLM-generated text promoting or pushing something that you didn’t otherwise show interest in. Or like, that friend from highschool who messages you out of the blue and you realize after a few messages that they’re trying to sell you their MLM garbage.

- Comment on Why is Minecraft able to be forced to put restrictions on online servers, but web browsers aren't held accountable for providing access to the web? 2 months ago:
In reality, it’s likely that it’s because Minecraft is largely targeted to kids. The primary presented idea of Minecraft is a game that is appropriate for kids. Web browsers don’t make the same kind of presentation–their purpose is to render websites, but don’t otherwise promise anything regarding the content viewed.
It would be a bit similar to a department store that stocked knives in the kids’ toy section. Selling knives isn’t really problematic, it’s where they’re located and the implied intent of that section.

There are some aspects that aren’t skill-based though. Anyone can do it, but some people thrive in that environment, while others have a more difficult time, just like any other job.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 2 months ago:
Oh, I also have some commands documented for normalizing audio and removing unneeded audio/subtitle tracks.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 2 months ago:
The Jellyfin Documentation has info on setting it up and installing it. I have it running on an odroid hc4, but pretty much anything with enough storage will be fine (an old laptop laying around is a great way to experiment with server stuff).
I don’t have much in terms of automation–I have a script that syncs local files with my server. What else did you have in mind?
- Comment on Just say the word 2 months ago:
To be fair, some people aren’t great at being a homemaker–it’s a particular passion and skill set and it’s not for everyone. But blindly drawing that distinction on gender lines is definitely a boomer thing.
Had an older guy at work who had four kids, and when it came up in conversation, he proudly noted that he had never changed a diaper. Told him that I’d be mortified to admit I was such a useless dad.
