The one I found is trees

If there’s another that’s more active, I haven’t noticed it yet. I admit to being a lurker there still.

I sit on the couch with a comfy blanket, a giant thing of water nearby, and play video games. Usually some Zelda game, but always something gentle where it doesn’t matter if I fall asleep while playing.

Also, I have some form of chicken soup (see my other reply for a delicious recipe)

There’s a delicious recipe for chicken/tortilla/lime soup somewhere on imgur… Lemme find it rq… Here we go:

In the game Crackdown - you had to increase your agility and strength, and weapons proficiencies to be strong enough to move onto the next area.

You could get the xp by doing things like killing guys while jumping or whatever, or you could find “agility orbs” at the tops of a lot of buildings (and smokestacks, billboards, factories, etc.) and get extra xp from finding them. As you level up your agility, you can get to taller places. Eventually I’d just climb places because I could not because I saw an orb.

That and blowing shit up with a rocket launcher, getting a faction really pissed at me, and then quietly leaving the scene after I get ran out of rockets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Android clients Sync For Lemmy, Connect, and Summit all seem to allow filtering by instance. Summit even appears to allow regex filtering.

Hope it helps!

Oh yeah! I have actually seen that (well, Phone(1) anyhow). I think it’s on my short-list for after my Pixel6a! Thanks for bringing it back to my attention 😁

Clear is one of my favorite colors! (along with purple and glow-in-the-dark)

Huh. Well, it was a feature that my parents paid the telco for, so I don’t know how it worked, but it was exactly what it says on the tin: an 800 telephone number that I could use from any phone and call my house phone.

Pagers were mostly a thing that dealers had so you could buy drugs. My mom got me one because I was always out driving around - sometimes up to 2 hours away on a whim - and she wanted to be able to check on me. We didn’t have a cell phone, so this was the solution for her.

It may have been misused at some point, but “baud” was a word long before the internet, and I distinctly remember my modem at the time using the word baud on the box. I was just a teenager, so I’m sure I was missing key information. It was used, tho.

Here, this is proving us both right: >If your modem-to-modem connection is at 14400 bps, it’s going to be sending 6 bits per signal transition (or symbol) at 2400 baud. A speed of 28800 bps is obtained by 3200 baud at 9 bits/baud. When people misuse the word baud, they may mean the modem speed (such as 33.6k).

Kilobaud is definitely a word that means a thing. Baud is a literal unit of measure that uses the metric prefixes.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like the translucent (still corded, so not that hi-tech) phone with the bright colors for all the components? I had one of those! I think the outer part of my cord was actually clear, too.

Ooh, and that dope clear pager was hella rad!

On that note, remember payphones?? (getting paged by my mom and having to find a payphone to call the family 800# and check in…)

Baud.

> just take the one looks like it fits and it is very close every time

“Very close” is easy - it’s the “very close without going over” that’s tricky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But it’s not something I can do unless it’s accidental…

Man, too long. Chronic pain has me in bed by 9pm, but it takes hours to actually fall asleep. Even with the sleepy meds…

That !houseplants@mander.xyz has a large list of links to other plant-based communities! Thanks!

Also !greenspace@beehaw.org and !gardening@thegarden.land or, if you swing that way, there’s !succulents@midwest.social

I am also interested in plant communities but have only found those few so far.

For video game music I really love the whole Transistor soundtrack (Darren Korb) and basically everything from Surviving Mars.

TV would probably have to be Kick Back, the theme from Chainsaw Man.

Edit to add: One Winged Angel But The Genre Keeps Changing is a lot of fun, especially if you know (and like) the original

I don’t even know what’s real anymore. Was the error message (in this image) because the other pic was too big?

Here is a reply I’m making from Liftoff with an image inserted from my phone…

Thanks - I’ll keep an eye on that conversation, too
