It’s a still from a video. That would be amazing (impossible?) quality for a early 00’s phone, it was probably done on a camcorder. Here’s a YT upload from 2007, not sure when the actual show aired.

Ope, it’s looking a bit cloudy outside! Better do another trim just in case it rains for a few days!

I started home espresso with a Breville Barista Express. That served me well for about 4 years before I got tired of its limitations, especially in regards to grind uniformity and making adjustments for different roasts (ie temp, pressure, etc.). I stopped using the built in grinder in favor of an Atom 60, which led to a massive improvement and held me over until upgrading to a Profitec Pro 600.

Until I want something plumbed in, or really want to geek out over data from a Decent, I don’t see much reason to upgrade any time soon.

If you want to be task-oriented and not just fuck around, do some continuing education. Depending on the field, there might even be some free options. You stay current, and you have something to show your employer if you get pressed about what you did during downtime.

Oooor you can catch up on some reading or games and enjoy the downtime.

Not all inclusive, just a list of games I’ve personally enjoyed for both story and gameplay. All of these are story-heavy though:

• Dishonored
• Dragon Age series
• Fable series
• Fallout series (3 and New Vegas are my favorites)
• Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
• Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
• Oblivion
• Pillars of Eternity
• Shadowrun
• Yakuza: Like a Dragon (haven’t played the others enough to have an opinion)
• Titanfall 2

I’ve been thinking about making the switch to 3rd wave instant for travel. Have you found anything better than Verve?

I joined Reddit shortly before Ridiculously Photogenic Runner, and I’ll leave Reddit with Ridiculously Photogenic John Oliver. Not bad.

Here’s the full archived article instead of a screenshot of a headline:

Not accusing you of this, but there might be confusion between the instance lemmy.world and the self-titled lemmy.world community. This is about moderation in the lemmy.world community, which is meant to discuss the instance; not moderation of the instance as a whole.

Are you looking for something for espresso or pour-over, and what’s your budget?

Interesting, I’ll try playing around with it more. I was on quite a few Beehaw communities, and could only see posts from before defederation while logged in. When viewing those same communities signed out, more recent posts and comments were visible.

You can do it manually, but if you’re operating from your lemmy.world account Beehaw communities won’t update for you. You can only view what was posted before the defederation, if I’m understanding things correctly.

Hey, TigerClaw. Looks like the Lemmy error of throwing your comment into another thread happened.

I hope that comes eventually. Right now I browse an instance in another tab or window, then copy/paste the community name I want to join into the search on my instance.

What do you mean by mask-off moment? The article was criticizing the western influence in Chinese population control measures. Are you only going off the article title?

Plus once other services like k.bin start communicating more freely with Lemmy it can stay relevant.

The ‘spoiler’ filter tag is a nice alternative to NSFW…when it works.

Unfortunately, Reddit doesn’t always apply the thumbnail blur, which led to The Mandalorian being spoiled for me. :-(

The NSFW filter is going to suck. Not because of porn, I don’t care about being able to access that on Reddit, but because of the NSFW tag culture. For example, in some miniature painting hobby subs, people will mark anything with blood painted on as NSFW. Hell, over the past 3 years I’ve seen more and more text posts get a NSFW tag for swearing.

As much as I want to support Relay after using it for so many years, it would suck not knowing what pseudo-NSFW content is being hidden from me.

Here’s the source article from The Verge

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass.

The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Verge, is in response to popular subreddits going dark this week in protest of the company’s increased API pricing for third-party apps. Some of the most popular Reddit clients say the bill for keeping their apps up and running could cost them millions of dollars a year. More than 8,000 Reddit communities have gone dark in protest, and while many plan to open up again on Wednesday, some have said they’ll stay private indefinitely until Reddit makes changes…"

I was a huge fan of Wizardy 8 when it released. Being able to type questions and responses to NPCs in a 3D RPG was mind blowing to teenage me. The older Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall can be fun for a while as well.

The isometric games from Black Isle Studios were also top notch 90s/2000s RPGs. Baldur’s Gate (I & II), Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment are all fantastic. Planescape is less combat focused than the others.
