Using shift + scroll wheel to horizontally scroll in a UI. Whenever I see my project manager going all the way to the bottom of the application and dragging the scrollbars to move horizontally it just kills me a bit inside haha.

This reminds me of KFC and how they switch from "Honey" to "Honey Sauce".

When I first met my now wife, we just planned on dinner. My thought was if dinner went well, I'd ask her to go down the street to the local pool hall to continue the night. We ended up eating dinner for 4 hours and were the last to leave the restaurant.

I'm glad we never ended up at the pool hall because it turns out she hated that place lol.

Final Fantasy VI is a great one!

What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?

Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it's great!

My wife used to complain about my green bubbles until I reminded her that I didn't choose that color for her. Apple did.

I host my own private "Facebook" for my large family. The web app is called HumHub and it's free to use (though some premium add-ons are paid).

What's funny for me is I have two gaming PCs and yet I play more games on the deck. It's just easier for me to pop into games for an hour or so and suspend it when I'm done. So far I've beaten the Trails In The Sky trilogy (with each game taking me about 3-4 months to beat) and it's been such a wonderful experience on the deck.

I really want to purchase an Ioniq 5 but still feel there are no good deals (and I'm not interested in jumping through hoops for the $7,500 lease bonus cash). I see tons of inventory at my local dealership but they won't budge on the price.

Instead of egg, I usually have surimi (or imitation crab sticks). They're not expensive at Asian markets (about $4-6 here in California for a couple dozen sticks) and can be stored in the freezer for a long time.

I actually just had some for breakfast. Nongshim + surimi cut into smaller pieces.

Where in California are you? Here in SoCal with SCE their PRIME Time Of Use plan is $0.26/kWH from 9PM - 4PM. Totally works for my family since we work from home and drive EVs locally. We also have a 2019 Prius which gets us about 50-55 MPG and 500+ miles on a full tank for longer drives.

Edit: I should add that the standard Time Of Use plan is $0.38/kWH from 9PM - 4PM. Peak hour usage from 4PM - 9PM is somewhere between $0.53 - $0.62/kWh I think.

We mainly charge our car overnight and it works out well for us.

I don't think it's unskilled labor at all. If anything, your so-called skilled labor is underpaying you then. We shouldn't hold others down.

I don't have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.

This is a great way to think. Some people are so frustrated with waiting in line at the bank or market. For me, it's just another unintended break where I get to relax.

I host my own HumHub for just my extended family. It's basically Facebook but there's only about 25 people and no external nonsense like ads or news.

The code I wrote from a few years ago.

For me it was Badminton. You can start off with cheap $15 rackets and plastic shuttlecocks. Now my racket is $260 and I play with feather shuttlecocks which are about $2 a piece and only last a few rallies.

Thank you, friend. You've convinced me to restart my phone.

Good call. For the commenter above: https://archive.ph/nVy4s

Mind going into some details about what you're selfhosting overall?

This looks more like Steam where users actually download and install the games.

I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.

I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.

From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it's still working.

Ever? That sounds too good to be true. Especially with that much RAM.

-edit-

Oh wow, I see their always free tier and it's true. Impressive!

I was going to suggest FFVI as well! I would also suggest the Trails in the Sky series as the first 2 games focus on the female protagonists Estelle.

For me, I subscribe to Deezer (or you can do a trial) and run Deemix which is able to download the music in MP3 or FLAC. It directly downloads the music using Deezer's API.

As far as organizing it goes, I typically just host it with Plex or a Subsonic player like Navidrome.

My cousins who are in their late 20s probably spend more time watching playthroughs than playing the games themselves. I think part of it is they simply can't afford to buy all the games they want to play. Another part is some games are just a good story that can actually be viewed and experienced through a playthrough.

Personally, if the game is easily available to me, I'd prefer to just play it.

I do whenever I'm indoors somewhere with a lot of people. Both my wife and I are immunocompromised. I hate being told the masks don't work and I hate even more explaining that I'm immunocompromised. People just need to mind their own business.

Is there any launcher that works well with Pixel's transition animations when using gesture mode? I haven't tried for a few years because there would be weird animation glitches from things like switching apps or going back to the home screen.

Great points! Personally for me I can do with less gorey violence. What I'm most interested in is good action sequences.

I'm using it at work as well and Copilot has been pretty decent with writing out entire methods when I start with the jsdoc or code comments before writing the actual method. It's now becoming my habit to have it generate some near-working code or decent boilerplate.

If you haven't tried it yet, give this a shot!

This is a great example of the rude way to use that phrase.

I have a small setup for some self hosted apps and media.

  • Beelink Mini S.
  • 2 external 5TB drives.
  • A USB fan used as an exhaust because the SSD inside gets a bit warm.

I think total power is about 30W.

For me, it's Beatmania by Konami. I first played it as a highschooler in the late 90s and it's totally changed the way I visualize music. I will never not think of music as notes falling towards a line because of it.

I have a lot of fond memories with Crash Team Racing. Now I want to go back and revisit it!

I can't speak from those who gamble without being financially stable, but I join a lottery pool by contributing $5 whenever the jackpot is over $1B. My wife and I also have a decent salaries and save 65% of what we make. I guess that makes the $5 irresponsible while still being responsible financially overall?

When I'm working, I listen to Lydian Collective and Tennyson (some of his tracks don't have vocals). You might enjoy them as well!

I think this is the case where certain people simply can't see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that's in the 1000kbps range is not straight up "clarity" in the sense that something like an instrument is "clearer" but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn't matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don't have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.
