Only eight :|

One time when I worked at a hardware store, I was loading concrete bags for a woman and I asked her, “you wanted eight?” to confirm how many she requested. She asked back, “do I want a date??” Anyway, I was too shy to pretend that I was asking her out, so this comment is only sort of about dating.

A clear plastic cup and a paper card large enough to cover the opening… Wait for the fly to land on a window, and approach slowly with the cup while distracting them with your other hand. When close, cover the fly by pressing the cup on the window and slip the card underneath the opening. It helps if the fly has tired itself out first. Works well for all manner of bugs.

Spatulas with overly-long handles. Nothing like constanty banging it all over a small kitchen.

Those little lights made to look like light switches, with their weak-ass magnets.

Clamp lamps that have scant threads on the reflector. They like to pop off and can actually instakill an incandescent.

As far as a house itself: installed carpets. It’s everything you hate about carpets, but permanent. They’re especially loathesome in bathrooms.

I also used to make crunchy granola w/ chocolate and peanut butter and cool it in the fridge. It was amazing.

Maybe it’s a snack you like, but not love?

Peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwich. No, was not a pregnant woman, I just didn’t have any jam ;)

Am I mistaken, or would it make Reddit load slightly faster and use less resources? I might just give it a go.

Got it downloaded, will test. The swipes feature might just be perfect, since I don’t like the delayed popup on HK (but it must have some delay, or else mistakes happen).

Edit: after some testing, this keyboard seems really nice. A few things are in odd places, but nothing too extreme.

Oh, okay. I was looking at sites that list numerous channels and couldn’t find any proper .pls links.

I’ll check it out. Hacker’s Keyboard is great, but seems a bit cluttered at times, and doesn’t have a light mode so it tends to aggravate my astigmatisms.

Thanks. This might be helpful if there’s something RadioDroid can’t find,or for someone who only wants to use VLC. Where do you find your .pls links, btw?

What? That’s… that would have saved me the trouble of discovering turd after turd at the play store. I am glad I found RadioDroid but sheesh, the fact that I already had the answer is too funny.

Just curious but how does disabling javascript on Reddit change the experience? Iir, diaabling it can break certain websites.

On Android I’m using Old Reddit Redirect. (I imagine just changing the URL is simpler, besides I’m not there enough to desire tons of features… I don’t even have a Reddit acct. currently.)

On PC I just use old reddit boolmarks, and a bookmarklet that toggles to old Reddit :D

For Firefox:

UBlock Origin, of course.

And that extension that turns all Reddit pages into old Reddit pages. (I hate the redesign with a passion.)

These are all free without ads:

VLC for movies and music.

Simple Text Editor, which is a lightweight and easy to use text editor. You can configure it to save on exit and open the last file.

ReadEra PDF reader.

RadioDroid is a free and open source internet radio player. Search for stations and genres around the world. It’s waaay better than any of the other things on the Play Store.

Shader Editor if you like programming GLSL fragment shaders.

Krita for digital painting on a tablet.

Autodesk Sketchbook for digital painting on a phone or tablet. It has a paid tier, but the free version is great on its own.

Open Camera, open source camera software. It lets you overcome the limitations of the default app. I like using it when I want a more analog look (I disabled image noise reduction in app).

Manual Camera is a good camera app if you want total control over certain thing like focus, white level, etc.

Hacker’s Keyboard. It’s got freakin arrow keys. Plus easy access to common characters needed for programming.

And last but not least

F-Droid, which is like a play store for free and open source software (FOSS). Lots of things there.

If your bladder is ready but you’re having trouble going, try running the faucet or imagine a waterfall.

Irfanview for image viewing.

Finally somebody mentions this. It’s lightweight & loads quickly; is highly customizable and can do a number of image edits like cropping, filters, resize with various resampling methods; it can save to a bunch of different formats; etc. It’s always been one of the first things I install.

AM2R a.k.a. Another Metroid 2 Remake It’s a fan game of the 2nd Metroid game, and is considered one of the best of the series, even though it’s not an official release. It’s more like Super Metroid than the Gameboy title is. You’ll have to search around a bit due to Nintendo’s D&C, but it’s not hard to find (the internet archive has recent versions).

Minecraft It’s a good port, but probably best played with a gamepad &| tablet.

Portal Knights A minecraft-like voxel game with more satisfying progression and combat, but less creative freedom. Plays well on newish devices, epsecially with lower-quality settings.

Terraria It’s a great game all-around, but harder to play on mobile than PC.

Emulation This goes without saying if you like retro gaming. The best emulators I’ve found are the .emu apps by Robert Broglia. They can be bought from the play store, or obtained for free at his Github page. If you like original Playstation games, get the Duckstation emulator (produced by another dev.).
