  • What a great local tradition

    Jump

  • That's neat! We just have a sign on the river, and people guess when the ice will start moving. More precisely, when the sign will pass under the bridge. A dummy would definitely be more fun, but some teenagers would probably steal or break it... or someone would mistake it for someone drowning in the spring as it travels towards the sea. Maybe it's better to just stick to the sign.

  • it always works

    Jump

  • I just use this against compliments.

  • A resemblance often neglected

    Jump

  • Unless we're talking about pets, funny enough.

  • Dish-Illusioned [Ferd'Nand, 1951]

    Jump

  • I remember reading so many of these as a kid. I had completely forgotten about these. A nice surprise in my feed.

  • Beach Day [admiralwonderboat]

    Jump

  • I never really learned this skill. I can just lie down in bed all day doing nothing (apart from thinking), and not get bored. This trait is not very beneficial for productivity...

    What's the worst that could happen?

  • specialization is for insects

    Jump

  • In recent years I've run some experiments on what works for me and what doesn't. '6h for work - 9h for rest - 9h for whatever' division seems to work wonders for me, with one day off in a week.

    Trying to sleep less than 9h just messes everything up, unless I divide the sleep into two sections. Funny how that works. Extra 1.5h of being awake, especially during the productive night hours, was quite nice. But I hate waking up, and doing that twice a day is just simply too much!

  • Internal Monologue and Visualization?

    Jump

  • I suppose I'm on the opposite side of visualization spectrum. I can easily conjure images so realistic and detailed that they pass for the real thing. I can also add texture, smells, temperature, sound, etc. but I can't fake weight or pure white color which for some reason always turns out somewhat grey or beige.

    I don't think much in words however, most of my thoughts are in images and sensations. Which does make verbal communication somewhat challenging at times.

    Sometimes the realism of visualization worries me somewhat. Many mental processes have a tendency to get a bit out of conscious control, and it would be quite troublesome to no longer know which of the things I see are actually real. On the plus side, I can visualize paintings on my walls, without actually buying any! I like having no decorations in my home, which seems to confuse people. Perhaps I should start comparing it to a blank canvas...

  • Improving my computer for GW2

    Jump

  • Upgrading PC for your mmo of choice? Dedication! :D

  • Congratulations

    Jump

  • In the settings, among the other character customization things. You should know this unless... did you press randomize in character creation? D: Please tell me you've at least turned off motion blur...

  • My eyes... they burn!

    Jump

  • That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch... at 2am.

  • Bird Watching

    Jump

  • I did always find those bird enthusiasts strange. As a side note, I wonder if there's a conspiracy theory among birds about how humans are actually government surveillance drones...

  • Ancient Aliens [warandpeas@mastodon.social]

    Jump

  • Their true legacy will be their fabulous eyebrows which shall be remembered for thousands of years.

  • Honestly this joke wasn't worth the effort it took to make this

    Jump

  • When I was done reading the comic, this is exactly the image I had in mind! Good thing I'm not the only pessimist around, I love it.

  • I want more

    Jump

  • This gives me very strong Talos Principle vibes. I should try playing the sequel at some point...

  • hmmm

    Jump

  • Concookielations!

  • Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (-13F) outside.

    Jump

  • Older houses definitely have them... but there was this trend at some point to renavate older houses and remove the oil heaters and fireplaces and wood heated saunas, and replace everything with electric ones. Why? No idea, trends are weird.

  • Best feeling ever (OC)

    Jump

  • The couple of people I've got to try it out didn't stick either. But after a few years, they are now switching some old laptops to Linux to keep using them. Which is quite nice to see! It makes me happy just to see people giving Linux a chance, but even happier when they actually get some benefit out of it.

  • Cleaning my overstuffed inventory

    Jump

  • Bank space in this game is way too small... I do need to keep one character as extra bank space. I haven't played enough in a while to give any actual tips for cleaning inventory, but I hope you haven't kept all the heart quest items! XD

  • A pre-historic city was discovered in the Antarctic.

    Jump

  • I love this. I'll also probably have nightmares tonight now that I've been reminded of Lovecraft's stories. XD
