“Why are you smiling? Are you looking at cat photos again?”

“No…?”

“Well?”

“Owl photos….”

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

yeah, pretty much. the GF did start making “squee” noises as she was scrolling though. Usually that’s good thing.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, the squeee-noises are reserved for only the cutest of things. It’s a very high standard.

So does they get a special Superb Owl RingBand?

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Sweet :)

I wonder, what stories to birds tell- about being caught, stuffed in a sock, then measured… and given that bit of jewelry before being let go.

Like. How similar would that be to an alien abduction story?

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Probably. But …. Everything else? Lol. The belly fat check….

I could just see the Jays making up some kind of tough-guy stuff to impress people; then getting found out when others started showing up with the band

FuglyDuck,

he has an entire cult of followers, its hilarious.

(I probably just triggered them all.)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

oh… no. I mean hordes of slathering buffon’s who jump on social media posts with typos.

(ooops. I did it again.)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Careful. Don’t want to wind up like Rosie. Bald on both ends.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I dunno. But If grilboss could make me a stack of ribs…

(Sorry that typo was too hard to pass up…)

the other thing that you need to know about american taxes is that they don’t even need you to do them. They’ll correct your work and send you a bill if it’s in their advantage. They can just send you the bill to begin with, but they don’t so their rich friends can show off their pretty science projects (I mean, er, exploit loopholes.)

FuglyDuck,

Plot twist: the little guy is actually the assassin.

Gets away with it everytime. Like Jessica Fletcher in Cabot Cove.

Step one: get lighter fluid.
Step two: set desk on fire.
Step three: quit.
Step four: woah, hold on I was just joking!

(Well, about the fire at any rate…)

Mario kart. They’re playing Mario kart.

I only realized it because… I too swore on rainbow road.

Pick a side, you monster, you.

FuglyDuck,

Well you see he’s working hard to keep the kids calm, right?

domestic violence over an Uno card game. (she killed him for dropping 2x +4 wilds.)

I don’t really get it either.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

so, briefly, Uno… you divvy out a stack of cards. each card has a number value and a color (or are wild here.), or do something (reverse play order, and stuf.) The card being played means the next person has to pick up 4 cards. the goal is to drop all your cards.

the “joke” is, she killed him for that. I don’t particularly find jokes about domestic violence funny.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

… and killing someone.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

possibly booth. WoW was released in '04.

For those wondering, The game would use a shift cipher on chat. when chatting between factions, you wouldn’t be able to read it. Well. except we were nerds and they used the same shift cipher. for horde players saying LOL, alliance players would see KEK. so addons existed that could ‘translate’ back and forth.

The reasoning was that cross-faction, eh ‘comunication’ was mostly taunting and shit.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Eh. Depends on the coins. If they’re made of ferromagnetic metals, sure.

Not all coins are.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Okay. But have you watched…

Sorry. I can’t think of tv shows I like that’s universally loved.

Actually, I can’t think of anything that’s universally loved.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

So… she’s trying to get her sister to watch firefly?

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, I love that show. It got screwed by idiots running episodes out of order and other odds and ends like that…

…and I’ll never forgive Netflix for that April fools “joke”…

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

They are thrown out of the bar

I’m surprised you weren’t with that joke. speaking from experience, i love my lame jokes. (and I’m not totally stealing this one…not at all.)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

it all comes down to delivery and timing. and maybe a healthy amount of booze.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty sure only monsters don’t like cat videos.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

vacuums and coffee machines.

Yeah. those are the, uh, devices, I’m most concerned people knowing I use…

FuglyDuck, (edited )
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

It’s more the kitchen appliances that I use aren’t the ones people bought as gifts… seriously that combined air fryer/pressure cooker/five-other-cooker-things is… annoying.

(I just have an instapot+slow cooker, immersion blender+blender+food processor that I have to hide from certain family, the absence of the “all in ones” would start a fight.)

why do some people really dislike google??

i don’t want to offend anyone, but some open source/privacy enthusiasts dislike google, but why?? google has made chromium, android, etc and most of the things they do are open source, and not only that, they also support creative commons media or public domain. i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never...

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never do anything bad to you.

Seriously?

So;

Google would never….

And that’s just the stuff I know about and could find quickly,

FuglyDuck, (edited )
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

But… their motto is “don’t be evil”! Surely, you can trust that!

I mean, Microsoft peeps are trying to be buddy buddy with Linux now.

Doesn’t mean they are not an awful company

so when they talk about length, they’re talking about the physical length of the film. 35mm film refers to the width. depending on the format being used- super35 for example- the length of a single frame or still on that film is about 18 mm.

as for why film- because digital recordings are actually pretty heavily compressed and once you lose that data, it can’t be recovered. the information stored on the film is actually much, much more densely encoded even if it’s analog. additionally, there’s some effects that simply can’t be perfectly replicated using digital, simply because it’s a fundamentally different medium.

You’ll have adherents to both camps, but ultimately it comes down to what produces a better film, and for box office productions, that’s still analog film.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Clearly starving.

Wasting away! How can you say “no” to those eyes?

FuglyDuck,

Not sure if it’s available on klipper, but try sending this:

M211 s0

This is the marlin gcode for turning off the software endstops which prevent you from going negative. (You turn it back on with S1 for normal printing.)

To calibrate z offset, set it to zero, home z, then move the nozzle to where you probed, read the nozzles position (mine is about -2.5) and set that as your offset.

You can check status of the software endstops by sending just m211… if it’s in klipper it should return something.

If it’s not in klipper there should be something similar.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

nope, as soon as it ‘officially’ passes (how many recounts you think? would you place wagers on an over-under of five?) it’s part of the Ohio constitution. they’d have to run a second ammendment through to vacate it. and that won’t happen.

Insurance won’t pay- trying to claim your house that you intentionally torched is insurance fraud.

Moms for Liberty members call the cops on Florida librarians (popular.info)

Two members of Moms for Liberty, a right-wing activist group, have reported several Florida school librarians to law enforcement. They claimed they had evidence that librarians were distributing "pornography" to minors and requested that law enforcement officers be dispatched. This represents a serious escalation of the tactics...

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Because the cops are fascists too

Baby bats are called pups.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. Any plans for merchandising these cuties as the Pup Squad?

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

the other is chubbier, suggesting more practice.

He’s going to stay in power until he dies or is overthrown.

anyone able to overthrow him is going to make it a point to kill him as part of that process.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

well yes. all I was saying was… he ain’t gonna live long if he looses his power base. whoever took over won’t let that happen.

but you’re right, there’s a shit load of potential for things to go south. Like whoever it is selling off nukes to that angry Chechen douche. you know the one.

exposure doesn’t pay the bills.
