There's an adorable phone game called "Tender" where you go on dates with various aliens via a Tinder-like app. That game did a good job showcasing different styles of profile and profile pic--highly recommend. Also, fun.
And the Wii can be Linuxed, if you get creative enough. Source: former roommate did it
It's spring (your hemisphere may vary) and time to set out tick tubes!
Tick tubes are cardboard tubes stuffed with cotton fluff soaked in permethrin. Mice use the cotton to make nests. The permethrin kills ticks on the mice, reducing the tick load of the area. It doesn't hurt the mice, and is much more targeted than just spraying the whole yard for insects.
I'm 40 and my partner just reaches out his hand whenever he needs help getting up from the group. I'm the shorter one, so I'm the designated "bottom shelf grabber". He's the one approached at the grocery store by other short people who need help grabbing things from the top shelf.
No, I thought capitalists wanted to appeal to mainstream consumers. DEI and pride displays are marketing techniques. Removing them says "nope, minorities aren't worth appealing to".
The performance serves as a barometer for how, idk, accepted a thing is. Having LGBTQ displays made me, an LGBTQ person, feel like Corporations thought we were a market worth wooing. Taking that and DEI away is a kick in the teeth. It feels worse than never having the displays or DEI programs in the first place.
Bob's Red Mill makes a powdered, shelf-stable egg substitute for baking purposes. I keep it on hand because I can't be arsed to keep real eggs in stock.
Nothing like something that sounds like a woman screaming to really liven up the neighborhood. Beautiful plumage, though.
Bots lie about who they are, ignore robots.txt, and come from a gazillion different IPs.
Current plan is to borrow a Switch 2 from a friend in a couple years, to play the games we're really excited for.
Seeing that the "explore the Switch 2” game wasn't included with the system just pissed me off. I'm not paying to play an interactive manual.
Wallet, mask, keys, mini scissors, dog poo bags, my meds, Loop ear plugs
My partner's very covid-cautious and we both have immuno-compromised friends, so we both mask in stores or other crowded places.
I started it to keep my hands occupied during a class. I love the simple 2-color pattern. I picked the kit up from Stitched Modern.
Woodblock print of a grumpy-faced man in a tunic shoving a lion in the face. The lion's head is turned towards the viewer and he has a goofy look on his face. His tail is held high. The man holds a club in his left hand. Surrounding the lion and man is a tree, an embankment, and foliage.

My local Lowes turned me off by having their music blaring way, way too loud for some event. Like, needed earplugs on that half of the store loud.
Now Home Depot has turned me off by not having any human-run checkout counters anymore, and all the self checkouts have incredibly distracting "we're recording you" screens. Plus, you know, the politics.
The Ace hardware is still awesome and has a store dog (no outside dogs allowed). Store dog is a friendly, happy lab.
