Meaty lifehack
  • Give it to us raw, and wriggling!

  • Dya like dags?

  • Meaty lifehack
  • If you buy hamburger in bulk you get a better price, but once you open that package you have to either use it all at once (not easy for every household) or watch the leftovers go bad unless you portion out and freeze it like this.

  • What are some poor pieces of advice for life?
  • This is the way.

    My spouse and I make different amounts, but also have different debt situations. We ran all our numbers and each contribute to the joint accounts based on our ability and needs, and in that way we share our living expenses and build collective savings while still having our own separate accounts for our individual spending. Neither of us is policing the other, we can each buy within our means and maintain our individual financial freedom while also tracking and taking care of our shared responsibilities and savings together.

  • What are some poor pieces of advice for life?
  • Can confirm. My marriage to my amazing spouse is the most wonderful gift my life has ever had and lifts me up like nothing else. My past relationship with an abusive partner nearly destroyed me.

  • What are some poor pieces of advice for life?
  • "Guys I just hooked up my new set of 5.1 speakers and I'm getting a little buzzing in the subwoofer I can't track down, what do I do?"

    "You should break up, he's totally cheating on you."

  • Lemmings, of Lemmy, Have you ever mudered anyone?
  • If you think those ducks were a pain, you should have gone across to your other neighbor's house where they just had teeny tiny clay discs flying around.

  • Ken Burns is in your future
  • As a traumatized veteran of the Cola Wars, I eventually decided to drop out entirely and become a tea drinker.

  • Ken Burns is in your future
  • Goddammit. I guess I'll go get my mullet wig.

  • The new secret ingredient in my family's holiday roast dinner is...

    โ€œDonโ€™t be silly. Itโ€™s just Ed Sheera- oh, I see what you mean!โ€
  • Which also happened to be the night that the lights went out in Georgia.

  • Games that I can play with one hand
  • If you are able to spend the money, consider getting a flight-stick-style joystick. You can get ones that have multiple thumb buttons, one or more triggers, and you control it all with one hand,

  • Isaac Newtonโ€™s wealth โ€˜intimately connectedโ€™ with slavery, author says
  • It's important to understand the mavity of the situation.

  • Embarrassed Teslas Drivers Buying Huge Numbers of Anti-Elon Bumper Stickers
  • Along those lines, the sticker shop from the story has since come out with one that says "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy."

  • Kickstarter for an open source raspberry pi portable computer
  • Raspberry Pi isn't an open-source device, unless they're somehow doing without the closed firmware and Broadcom chip.

  • The darkness of hell
  • Aren't the "good" Christians required to "believe in the darkness of hell" so they are afraid of it and don't do things which make them end up there?

  • Nostradamus
  • This is a good comic except for the gratuitous prison gay panic joke straight out of a crappy 1980s sitcom.

  • Do you use the popcorn button?
  • I use the popcorn butter.

  • At 4AM this New Year's Eve, play the Ramones track "I Wanna Be Sedated."

    Because at that moment, there will be 20 2024 hours to go.

    Custom HHG cover for my passport

    hackers.town Rob Vincent ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ (@Rob_T_Firefly@hackers.town)

    Attached: 2 images I got a new passport, and obviously a custom cover had to happen. #DouglasAdams #H2G2 #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy

    !Photo of a US passport and a passport cover custom-printed with the cover art from the original US edition of the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Said art features a hand giving the universal thumb gesture for hitching a ride while a green planet makes a silly face against a backdrop of space. (Douglas Adams and many fans dislike this version of the cover, but it was on the first copy of the story I had as a kid and I'll always have great fondness for it.) !The passport in its Hitchhiker's Guide cover.

    I got a new passport and learned you can get any image you want printed onto a passport holder, and this had to happen.

    I briefly considered making some original cover art based on how the Guide itself is described in the story, but I then thought about all the reasons not to pull out something that says "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters in view of some jittery border guard who may not get the literary reference.

    Zero, an Android app that does nothing

    mastodon.social mcc (@mcc@mastodon.social)

    Okay, here is the formal release of my Android app "Zero". It does nothing. You launch it and it just immediately quits. It is literally the Android Kotlin sample project with a blanked icon and the single line `finish()` added to MainActivity.onCreate. Precompiled apks are available. You may find ...
