   - Kid, I bought some correction tape, could be good to know that we have it now. I'll put it over here ... It's this, you can make these...
   - Yeah, I know what it is, lots of people in school who use pens have it.
   - Ok, cool. ... You know, we didn't have these before, do you know what correction fluid is?
   - No, I don't know your "back in my day".
   - *creaky voice* Well ... back in my day ...
   - NO

     @Kermode This is a handheld correction tape, which replaces painting things over with correction fluid.

     You apply the tip to the paper and pull it along the mistyped area, and boom, now there's a white layer over what you mistyped. There are glue tapes that work the same way, perhaps you have seen those.

     There's a roll inside the tool, with glue or correction paint on it. As you pull, tape comes out and the substance attaches to the paper as the tape goes over the tip. The spent tape that has passed the tip goes back into the tool onto a collection roll.

   Modern Vintage Gamer: "Doom didn't kill the Amiga...Wolfenstein 3D did"

   Great overview of one strong technical reason why the Amiga faced challenges in 1992, as well as an overview of what's been happening in Amiga 3D or pseudo-3D gaming in the three decades since.

   I have one quibble with the narrative: "chunky mode" isn't called "chunky" because of low resolution or anything else about how the output looks.

   It's "chunky" because you can write a pixel in one write, one byte, one chunk of bits, instead of it being spread over multiple bit planes.

   The comments explain why even fast chunky-to-planar conversion or a faster CPU wouldn't have helped -- the Amiga's Chip RAM simply had too low bandwidth.

   I would love to see a video on the technical details on how 2020s 3D games for the Amiga manage to get around that and create an experience for the Amiga 500 that nobody in 1992 managed to create even for the double-bus-width, double-clock-frequency, fewer-cycles-per-instruction Amiga 1200.

     @Angry Sun Every Amiga fan in 1993 knew that the Amiga couldn't do 3D games like the PC could, or they were in denial.

     The AAA chipset was supposed to be our savior, but the mothership tanked while trying to deliver it.

     And then to really put the nail in the coffin, the Pentium came. The 68k series was cooler, but Intel just brute-forced it and won on the MHz. Even when the 68060 finally came out a year too late to matter, it still couldn't compete on the MHz.

     I guess some are still in denial three decades on.

   After years living without a microwave oven, I am gradually learning to remember that this home has one, and I can reheat food without steaming or frying it, and I can reheat one meal while simultaneously cooking another.

     @Diane If it's just water, my kettle is more efficient than the microwave. Milk for the cocoa though, that's very cumbersome without a microwave. I will save a lot of dishes being able to heat things directly in mugs and bowls.

     The timer on the microwave is also a great advantage over the kettle, the rice cooker or a pot on the gas stove.

   !Friendica Support inspired by the post forum.friendi.ca/display/97d67… I had a look at the servers out there that are using OStatus. There aren't many and most of them aren't in use anymore. See the list of the servers and their last post date:

   The ones with recent posts had no interaction at all for a long time.

   Do you know any other GNU Social/Statusnet server out there that is still active? If not, then I really would appreciate to remove OStatus from Friendica. It will clean up the code by removing a lot of endpoints also we then can remove some tasks that will then be unneeded.

     The churn keeps churning. Now living in the third place within 19 months.

     The last move was a bit of a panic move. I'm aiming for this one to be stable. I moved here with more consideration and deliberation, and it already feels more at home than the place in the middle. I hope to be renting this until I've saved up to buy something.

     It was cool to live on the top floor though, over 150 m up, now I've got that box checked on my bucket list. 😊

      Die Kiste dürfte nicht breiter, tiefer oder höher sein, ansonsten würde die Tasche nicht mehr schließen. Das finde ich schon recht effizient.

      Das ist ein Velo Lab Kàro. Das Teil ist großartig. Der Motor (Neodrives) ist sehr schubstark, das gesamte Gerät ist vergleichsweise leicht und man sitzt eher sportlich. Demzufolge schaffe ich damit im Sprint auch kurzzeitig Geschwindigkeiten um die 35 km/h. Ich wasche meine Räder nie, muss ich zugeben 😀 (Aber Service wird natürlich regelmäßig gemacht)

    "He was in that too?!"

    I thought I had a good grip om Alan Tudyk's roles, but there are several here I didn't know about.

    I knew he is Clayface on Harley Quinn, but the Joker too?! Does a fine job of it too. I didn't know he did three voices on Ice Age.

    This is not just a simple quiz, that's just the scaffolding and we're here for the tangents. Tudyk is all about the tangents, there is never an interview with him that stays on the rails.

    "I was the class clown"

    You don't say?

    Variety: "Does Alan Tudyk Know Lines From His Most Famous Movies & TV Shows?"

    (yes, he can place all of them (eventually) except one)
