wow, a lot of prices have plummeted since the last time i visited the beer store. seems like 30-40% price reductions on many of the cans i was looking at — imports, craft, and domestic conglomerate brews. what's going on?

when life gives you lemons, you’re experiencing the amazing invention of some prehistoric humans who thought to try cross-breeding a mandarin with a pomelo, and then crossed the resultant seville orange with a citron. already way more impressive than making lemons into lemonade!

@trkzn @williampietri @tilde will do! i’m not a printer myself but i may rope a friend into it.

@williampietri ahh yes, havent seen this video but do know finkel via that talk/doc about their recreation of noah's ark based on cuneiform tablet description and so on. that was super interesting! (so much so that i incorporated elements of the story into a book i'm working on)

@williampietri @tilde oh sick! though i'd much rather it not be made of plastic. hah, still... i suppose i could invert, print a mold, and then use it with actual clay!

@williampietri @tilde that’s awesome. is this 1:1 size reproduction or has it been scaled down? would love to acquire something like this

@kaoudis @tilde gives new meaning to the phrase “old as dirt”

apparently it’s quicker to fly from
new delhi to *tashkent* than new delhi to mumbai!?

this bit of trivia (and more) gotten by listening to the “empire” episode on russian contest of central asia: https://pca.st/episode/d81eb4b5-d854-4baf-9db8-5c9c7b96a1cd

just got back from a family gathering at my bro-in-law’s farm. and he brought out some pear cider he’d just made. dang, it was good! i might have a new favourite non-alc beverage!

@mwichary i imagine you mean semantically readable URIs, so this is different but related: for multi-country sites like amazon or ebay, love when you can just swap out the country code on the domain or main subdir (eg .ca for .co.uk) and it just works and loads the same listing

@sneak hah, just got an email from them today saying my login was in a data leak!

@Kancept i’ve never found this feature to work that well for my on ios, much as id like it to. it’ll work most of the time, but not super rarely just won’t fire til way after it should’ve

@Unixbigot reminds me of how in adventure time, BMO gets wasted one night by by trashing some system files

@mike now there’s nothing for it but to commit to the distressed look!

@Kancept why do you hate home depot?

@Nagaram i ran through my M1 mbp battery easily last week by letting kids do logic tracking + mpe modeling with a roli seaboard in bright light at a cottage. was shocked, hadn’t thought i’d need to think about power supply!

@musicman if i saw someone wearing the symbol id be more likely to think they’re into motorcycles or skating fwiw
