Good luck with the surgery!

The Mission 1986.

It sure is and welcome to Lemmy :)

OH MY GOD! I had one of those! I haven’t seen a picture of one since.

The keyboard was so awful. I don’t remember getting it as a birthday or other gift so it must have been a hand me down from a family friend or something.

It’s the official Ukrainian government site for donations.

If you don’t mind me asking, how often did politics come up with your parents?

Edit: just for my own perspective, they came up a little with my father while he was still alive and very, very rarely with my mother who I still see daily. I gently gauge the political position that my kids have but I’ve raised them all with empathy as a central tenet of their upbringing so that’s more or less where they tend to fall as best I can tell.

I am not interested in ending up where you did and I mean that with kindness.

I’ve recently introduced my 5 year old to Luanti (open source Minecraft clone). He loves it, sees me open terminals (Linux only house), use the in-game terminal which I’m teaching him to use, learns what keys are where etc. and personally I’m OK with that for now. Baby steps.

My own computer route was to play games initially (load “”) then move on to coding later. It is much easier to learn coding now than it was then but just moving him off the tablet will already be a huge win. If he shows an aptitude or interest in it, coderdojo or similar will be waiting.

Oh! If you do decide to do something similar, I hooked the laptop up to the TV with keyboard and mouse and it was a huge win both in fine motor control and fun!

Good luck!

This fits your price requirement and is a nice chill game to just lose yourself in and perfect for the deck IMO.

A Short Hike. Currently €6.59 in Europe.

Hope things improve for you soon.

That’s huge. Congratulations!

there is also a Behind the Bastards on him

Here’s a link to that episode. You can skip the first 6 minutes. Some ads, some banter.

Street fighter 2 - hyper fighting edition (arcade).

Played this every day after school for years as did a huge portion of my school.

Wow. That’s some lineup.

Sometimes it’s objectively a good thing when a bad person kicks the bucket.

True, but nobody really knows anything about this man other than he was an insurrectionist. He was doing 6 months prison time.

That is some mother’s son and she’s probably still alive. That’s awful.

What the fuck is wrong with the people doing all the gloating?

A man was killed resisting arrest and you’re all here cheering for it because he was previously imprisoned?

Yes they were insurrectionists. Prison time? Sure. Death for resisting arrest? Get a grip.

I…I could? Humans are weird and wonderful creatures.

I can think myself into immediately stopping hiccups.

I can also puke on demand.

I have an example and a suggestion.

There’s an old lady living across the street from us. We’ve been living here for twenty years and her partner passed away there about two years ago. I want her to not feel alone and I know she really loves my beef stew (I honestly make a savage beef stew) so when I make some I get one of our kids (who she knows since they were born) to drop some over to her. She always drops back the bowl with like some fruit in it. I considered saying not to but I actually feel like she likes the reciprocity. Anyway if you get a nice smell coming from that lady’s place some day, drop that in to the conversation. She’ll remember and you’ll get some great food then there’s balance.

Another way is for it to “just happen” in a silent way. Just say nothing after you’ve done it and gently refuse payment but put the kindness on her.

“Oh no, I’m happy to do it. You’re very kind to offer but I absolutely couldn’t. Thank you though. You’re very kind.”

That way she won’t feel indebted.

Mars Guy.

He’s a geologist who does a weekly video rounding up what perseverance has been up to and it’s one of the best parts of my Sunday.

TIL there’s a Washington in England.

Pine beer actually sounds delicious.

Edit: I presume this is home brew. Do you leave them in during fermentation or during the boil?

I used to add crushed berries to cider during fermentation then remove the bits at the end. It was amazing. I’ll get back to it some day.
