My favorite vice. Mountain Dew Code Red calms me like nothing, short of a cigarette by a campfire at sunrise while still reeling from Bourbon with friends the night before. Even then, Code Red makes it better.
Mind you, I otherwise don’t smoke, or drink for that matter.
- Comment on cannot edit my post b/c of slur filter? 5 days ago:
I think the servers got an update or something. Lemmy is beautiful, and I’m more happy that its getting updates than I am concerned that an update introduced a bug with an easy-enough work-around.
On the other hand, maybe you and I just accidentally touched the drop-down and happened to create this issue for each of ourselves on the same day. Oh, and I happened to find your post before hitting this issue myself. Stranger things have happened.

Its part of the web-page, next to/under the text-entry box. Normally, it should say "Select language /"

I would copy and re-post. Leave a comment about why on the original, then delete the original post. The admins/mods will still be able to see that, so if they get curious about the re-post, they shouldn’t need to contact you in order to figure it out.
Alternately, re-post in another (related) community hosted elsewhere(another instance), then cross-post that to the original community.

Exactly.
- Comment on Anyone tried cloud gaming? 1 week ago:
Its not “the Cloud” if its your own systems from top-to-bottom … More like Remote Play? … Seems Sony, Microsoft, and Valve all use that terminology for Streaming Gameplay from their consoles to another device.
Streaming to another location than where your Server is setup is tricky, mostly due to latency and establishing a connection that doesn’t get throttled(or compromised) by the ISPs involved. Personally, when I tried to get into it, about 10 years ago, I didn’t have the budget for a GPU that could be persuaded to support it at all.
Today, I’m more likely to keep such a server in my vehicle(on Battery/Solar), so its always just a local connection away, if I were to bother with the budget and hassle involved*. Around the house, I’ll just slap a new desktop together where I want to play games, or game on my laptop, and call it done.
*Ideally, I could build this for less than my good laptop would cost to replace, and use something much closer to outright disposable to game outside of my car. In practice, I just bring my good laptop with me everywhere, risk be damned.
- Comment on Help making a table more movable 3 weeks ago:
You might try something like these, or hiding a bunch of rubber/neoprene casters in the bottom of the two “feet”. Otherwise, for hardwood floors, thick felt is pretty well the gold standard for anything permanently attached to furniture.
You could also try securing PTFE along the bottoms of the feet, then when moving the table, you lay down a wool blanket or rug, and keep the rug stationary while moving the table across it. You could also flip the table over and do roughly the same thing.

- Comment on Crunchyroll & Now Netflix Both Confirm Anime Sub Watchers Are the Minority on Their Platforms 1 month ago:
Either everyone’s Rimuru(good-enough VA I guess, but mis-cast/shoe-horned a LOT), or they’re taking characters(girls mostly, like Kazari Uiharu) who are shallow, bat-shit insane and sound so in Japanese, but giving them reasonable voices that try to make their obsessions with rules and feeding sardines to their absolutely uninterested crush sound profound …
- Comment on What would you do in this scenario? 1 month ago:
You’ll have to have the power temporarilly disconnected at the pole. Once you’ve done that, a good ladder would be far cheaper than hiring any professional, by a factor of 5 or 10 times.
- Comment on Crunchyroll & Now Netflix Both Confirm Anime Sub Watchers Are the Minority on Their Platforms 1 month ago:
I watch the subs out of either impatience or avoiding certain English VA/character pairings that I absolutely cannot stand. I can muddle my way through the shittiest of subs rather than put up with localized VA’s who sound NOTHING like their Japanese counterparts…

Anything beating The Apothecary Diaries blows my mind, although I know well the pain of wading through the tail-end(19-23?)/weeks of Season 2 to get to the good bits/reveals.

- Comment on Need dad support, DIY advice or financial suggestions? 5 months ago:
Whatever, my ass. My fatherly advice is to keep parenting-adjacent things and that kinda shit seperate.
I have nothing against sugar-babies, bimbos, kept men, what-have-you, but combining it with asking how to use serious tools or navigate painful life decisions? Fuck off. Bad enough that so much porn out there is incest-themed.
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 5 months ago:
Imagine thinking Tesla has all-that-much in place to prevent those things in a stock configuration. Full-stop, any self-driving is one of the first features anyone trying to disconnect their cars from Tesla servers would lose outright.
- Comment on Need dad support, DIY advice or financial suggestions? 5 months ago:
As a dad, the role-play thing going on with the post titles kinda creeps me out, but I hope I come across this again if that ever changes.
- Comment on If you're on the fence about building or buying a 3d printer enclosure, please let me give you a push. 6 months ago:
Holy crap, this is the exact shape of the wall-mounted desk I’ve got mine sitting on in the garage. My family thought it was weird, and I’ve never seen it used for a 3D printer setup elsewhere.

The most believable part of the whole thing. Standard “Tech Incubator” bullshit.

joy. Wasn’t trying to engage with you, but I’ll live. I better be one of the bumbling villians, dammit.

You called him a troll. By that definition, he likes your attention. The choices are feed the troll and live with, maybe learn to enjoy the resulting walls of text, or Block them.
Sorry to remind you, there is no in-between. Even if he had some sort of aneurism/epiphany and suddenly wanted to break character to do things more to your liking, he would do so under a new username, or be laughed back into the role everyone has come to expect. Been There Done That.

You’re missing out, unless the concept isn’t your thing after all.

Your contempt for an account you cannot be bothered to block is highly amusing.

- Comment on Russian electronics forums registration forms be like 10 months ago:
Personally, I would rather hack it, copy/paste, and talk to whoever would be willing to communicate with me about it in English. I said niche interest, but that wasn’t about the time I’m willing to sink into a given project. Learning Russian would be investing months to save hours from an electronics perspective.
Rather let my desire to travel and communicate with a given group of people in person dictate what languages I might study and in what order.
- Comment on Russian electronics forums registration forms be like 10 months ago:
Wait, did you think you had to convince me I’m missing out?
That said, I’m still not learning Russian any time soon. There’s at least a dozen other languages I would rather learn first, and at least a hundred other countries I would rather visit first, my niche interests be damned.
