@kelbot Oh yeah, me too.

Tinker Board is the same way, isn't it? But comes with it onboard? I haven't gotten one yet, but I have a CamelCamelCamel watch I'll act on... someday.

@gemlog I had not known sweat bees came that small (maybe they don't in North America). I *have* gotten gnats in my eye but I'm not sure they survived the experience. And once I had a (disposable) contact lens fold in half and end up wedged way back beside my eyeball. I thought it had fallen on the floor and shrugged and opened another, and it finally worked its way forward enough to annoy me a week or two later. Until then I didn't even feel it.

(srsyly tho yes but she thought it was sand/grit)

"Doctors Found Four Bees Living in One Woman’s Eye. Here Are Three Other Stories That Will Make You Squirm"

yep same file y'all

Gonna just file "Tiny Bees Are Not the Worst Creature to Get Stuck in Your Eye" under "articles I have no inclination to read come ON"

@theoutrider I did not realize until listening to its podcast interview the score guy that The Good Place's theme is like seven seconds long (and the last two seconds play over the start of the scene) and eight notes.

Hang on wait... the "twttr" thing is a real thing?

Someone is missing the point of Pi Day.

Headline asserts that a coupla celebs were "seen frolicking in South Jersey."

Turns out "frolicking" means "shopping for a vacuum cleaner at the Cherry Hill Best Buy," in case you ever wondered. I'm not sure Merriam-Webster agrees but 🤷♀️

@lnxw48a1 Yeah, but nobody ever mentions *how*. Every article is just "we had to check this place out. It stinks and is filthy but the guy is super-enthusiastic!"

No mention of "his son used to help but grew up and went off to college" or "was eaten by a python" or "was bitten by a cobra and refused to have anything to do with snakes ever again."

@rubah It is. I'm going to place it as our 1992 trip to Eureka Springs.

Dale's a bit older these days. Wonder what happened to his son? https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/14200

siri sum up northwest arkansas in one picture

@sanspoint Company owner's wife was a former model/beauty pageant winner. I don't remember why he wanted scans of the pictures, or how it came out that I had a scanner (still fairly rare in those days)... probably he asked my boss to do it and my boss went for the cheapest option. 😆

Really, probably the tamest of shenanigans that happened at $AIRLINE.

*stares in puzzlement at picture for awhile*

Ohhhh, right, that was from the stack of boudoir pictures of the company owner's wife my boss asked me to scan, back in the 90's. I'm just gonna pitch that, they probably don't want it back.

Also that's some "transparent" report covers there on the right. Threw those away along with some very crunchy rubber bands.

Pretty sure some of these "forever" stamps cost us about 15 cents less than modern ones. 👍

We have a couple little plastic drawer units for office supplies. They've somehow managed to generally not become straight-up junk drawers (in large part because they mostly have lived at Carl's desk and not m🖇️i📚n🗑️e). But during the last move I tossed a lot of things I didn't want to lose track of into their top drawers (and also into the sewing table drawers), so it was time to clean it out. It... has been awhile.

@staticsafe I feel like Mario Kart Double Dash vs. the Switch version is a better example though: Switch version is just a muddle of visual/audio clutter far as I'm concerned. We literally still have a Gamecube just to pull it out now and then for DD.

(Admittedly, the fact that I am both An Old and also probably have some ASD sensitivity to overwhelming stimuli does kinda undercut my argument.)
