sarah: i want to write a buying guide me: about what sarah: 😈

Someday I hope to visit Portland.

Seeing creations from others has really been inspiring lately. Time to keep pushing myself towards a creative 2026. youtu.be/-FU23jSEt6g?... Thanks for sharing an incredible journey, @tessaviolet3.bsky.social!

Reviewing my footage from this weekend has proven to me that I need to invest in a windscreen for my action camera. A lot of this footage is just completely blown out from going 30+ MPH down these slopes. Lesson learned.

Sometimes you just gotta go for the tanki hell wait and then tsumo haitei. Rewarded for bad behavior this morning.

GADDAMNNNNNN

A classic Canadian experience: travel to a snowy peninsula, get stuck in a town with all roads out of town closed, party with the locals, stay at someone’s house (they’re leaving to smash their fwb ofc), and they give you the WiFi password before they leave. I love this country.

The Flayed from Stranger Things 3

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Just woke up from a dream (nightmare?) where I was interviewing for a position at a news company and I was walked into a deep basement room filled with people on old, musty PCs running Windows XP on a mix of CRT and 4:3 flat panel displays. My poor infosec heart broke witnessing it.

MS issues this afternoon.

We accept your terms, Drew *Carey 🤝

Been trying to tell people this for years. SO important to care for your cutlery properly!

My NAS got delivered 6 days ago and in those 6 days I've accomplished so much. My personal data is all back under one roof for the first time in years AND it's all much more organized than it historically has been. I'm really proud of the work I put into organizing this week. Still more to do, too!

Really excited to do some snowboarding this weekend. 26 hours until I'm on the road!

...okay I think I can finally articulate my biggest Linux gripe. I hear from power users that a feature exists in shell and it immediately turns me off. I'm not entirely TUI-phobic, but if I'm spending more time in a shell than I am my desktop interface, I'm not happy.

New react image about mahjong found.

I got roped into downloading Finch and lemme tell ya... I'm so bad at remembering to check things off my list every day.

When I say I miss Windows XP, most people visualize the Fisher Price theme that XP launched with. I think of Royale and Royale Remixed. oleg-ganin-rus-xp.itch.io/royale-remix... It just looked so good and wasn't Vista so it still performed wonderfully.

I am FREAKING OUT youtu.be/aqKy4LiNrhs?...

Absolutely CRIMINAL cuteness.

I hate when multiple ppl around me are having an issue with tech I also own but for some reason I’m not having the issue. Makes me feel like I’m gaslighting them when I say “huh, that’s weird. I don’t have that issue and I don’t know why you do.”

I'm matching all donations up to $250 until midnight eastern to benefit NAACP Empowerment Program during Spookython 7! Come join us! The gamers will be starting Dungeons and Dragons shortly.

Oh cool. Can’t wait for my layover on my way to Missoula in a few weeks.

Semi-related to my most recent post, just wanted to thank @kelslewin.bsky.social for writing a fantastic book about Animal Crossing and how (IMO) New Horizons took a lot of the magic away in favor of further evolving the series into something the first game was not. Fans of the OG should read it!

The Animal Crossing update is apparently out now! Because I'm lazy and don't feel like loading up the game, I am asking anyone on my feed who reads this: Are the villagers finally interesting again?

None of my plates showed up in the leaked audit logs. How about you?

Here's my Nintendo Switch 2025 video!

I received my vinyl copy of Mon Rovia's debut album, Bloodline, and it came with a small "Field Notes" style pocketbook with 2 – 3 paragraphs explaining each song. A few really hit home for me.

GaminForCharity is this weekend and guess what I’ll be playing! Can’t wait to show this off to my friends and stream lurkers this Saturday.

Reading a mahjong manga has made me realize that the best approach to avoiding doomscrolling is actually just finding something more interesting to read than the news.

Lost a painful hanchan this morning.

Rewatching Stranger Things 2 and realizing when Will didn’t recognize Bob he had a different voice and that voice was definitely Vecna and I’m so impressed dude. But I think Season 5 is going to be a major disappointment and I’m not looking forward to it.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Oh.... OH!

"Who can afford to leave, and who has to stay?" Lots of great intellectual discussion should sprout from this video essay.

Here we go again... hopefully this time attempting to learn a new code language/command line syntax actually sticks unlike the last half-dozen attempts.

If you keep calling and pushing a free estimate without respecting my first rejection, I'm going to assume ill intent and decline with more candor the more you talk. This skeet is directed toward Power Home Remodeling. Don't give them the light of day if you're a homeowner.

Bought a NAS. Here's hoping I don't regret my purchase... 🫣

For any NAS users that might see this, I'm looking for opinions. Is it worth buying a bigger NAS up-front with room to grow, or should I buy a NAS of adequate size for the next couple of years and then upgrade when ready to double the number of drive bays?

Truly a sign of my age (and family curse): I’ve just ordered a nose hair wax removal kit. We’ll see how it works this weekend.

None of the Liquid Glass operating systems are great, but I truly believe macOS got the worst changes and this covers another thing that the update botched pretty bad.

Ope. Went to install a new screen protector on my phone and somehow it’s a full 2mm too high. And of course it was my last one. 🥲 Time to order more...

i remember when LTE networks were like, just rolling out? and G4, which was like a gaming/tech-y TV network, did a promotional thing for sprint where they swapped the symbols around and were "4G" for like a week or so anyway, i have a great marketing opportunity for 76 the chain of gas stations

Got to see a Chrysler Turbine and one of the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cars in person over the weekend. So dang cool. CCBB was one of my favorite movies growing up so that one was particularly special.

Tell them you’re on adderall and they’ll stop calling.

To all of the funny people who can make a joke out of almost any situation: do you recognize how talented you are? Sincerely, a man who just cannot make a joke to save his life.

My entertainment center does a really good job messing things up during parties and when friends are over. Might be time to do a full factory reset and start from scratch on both my AVR and my TV.
