Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

I remain amused that our microwave has power settings 1-7. Nothing higher. It's like they watched Spinal Tap but misremembered 11 as 7. "But this one goes to seven!"

If you can still see the surface of the toast, there isn't enough peanut butter and jam on it.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver Not saying it never happened, just no direct or second hand experience with it happening. Everyone rolled the dice.

@ZenHeathen Tax exempt fuel for on-farm-only use. Tractors, swathers, harvesters, combines, hauling trucks, whatever.

My rural living friends in the 80s ran purple gas in all their personal vehicles. Never heard of any of them being caught/fined over it.

@EricBono @ZenHeathen Costco in Lethbridge does have the advert-on-ui-screens here, fairly new. No sound though! If there were sound... something membership voiding might happen...

Tonight there will be an exhibition roller derby game between the Robot Brotherhood and the Sentient Forest Fowl.

Tickets are by donation of canned goods (oil, or bird seed) at the door.

50/50 for 6 litres of top quality oil for robot treads will be drawn this evening at the locomotion repair shop behind the NutsNStuff supermarket.

Must be present to win. No proxy by teleoperators please.

@ZenHeathen Probably are, my go-to are the vintage things because that's what we were looking at when renovating mid century modern. There's definitely pendant and a few swag lamps to be seen in lighting stores but whether those are Canadian products or even in Canadian owned stores I dunno.

@ZenHeathen Your local vintage furniture store or perhaps a charity thrift store.

@GeePawHill In theory it wouldn't be so bad, if the other place(s) weren't so contagiously bad themselves. Which is the whole point of tfw.

Misleading headline.

Not 764 separate crimes, but rather crimes associated with a group called 764.

@paninid Used to procrastinate most of my homework until I was getting up at 4am the day it was due, sat on my bedroom floor and powered through it until time to head to class. Never thought I had ADHD or anything until maybe after I retired and saw it talked about here on fedi.

@zazzoo The call was ALWAYS coming from inside the house. She was in the thick of them when she was in the Wildrose party.
