F’n fruitbasket when I was about 10. Nothing after that. Although I don’t usually participate.

No, they are not their parents. Asshole or not.

Asshats who use the term “Boomer” don’t seem to understand that it means people born about 10 years after WWII and use it for anyone older than they are, so MTV term “genX” gets swamped.

You mean do I have aphantasia? No. On the contrary. My parents tested me as a child, because I was a really introverted, emotionally calm and had trouble with writing. They were afraid that I was on the autism spectrum.

Turns out that I was just a calm kid with severe case of dysgraphic dyslexia with high average IQ. Only thing I was gifted in was spatial perception.

So yes, I can visualuze things in my minds eye and do 3D-sculpting, however I don’t think the reflection are really reflections. Just something I fool myself with. I can do some reflective designing if I focus, but something simple and nowhere in the “raytracing” level.

Dreams however tend to be more on a conceptual level, even graphically. You just don’t mind because your consciousness level is lowered. When you reminisce your dreams after you’re awake, you automatically reconstruct it and fill the blanks to make it more compatible with your awakened state.

In the past I only remembered having dreams about 3-6 times a year and very little what they were about. I only needed 6,5 hours of sleep.

Then I had COVID something broke.

Now I dream almost every night and remember more what they are about. Compared to the previous it’s like whole another reality with all the bells and whistles. Now I need 7,5 hours of sleep.

I’m actually happy with the change.

Almost everything that has any value to someone will be collected. The actual data wont live long, but all the profiling done with it, will last slightly longer than I will.

I don’t agree on the HEPA level sterility. Dust is not a nuclear waste.

Dust tends to accumulate in quiet areas, like corners and under furniture where air currents from movement don’t disturb it.

Just keep those areas clean with a dustpan and the whole remains tolerable. Although rugs need to be taken outside and beaten from time to time.

The 1% live a sheltered and privileged life on the shoulders of the rest. If that support would disappears, I don’t see much chance for long term survival. You’d be fucked anyway.

I think there’s a similar attraction to all erogenous areas, but due to cultural reasons breasts are ones that are always covered and their uncovering signals intimacy.

Favoring big breasts is mostly a cultural thing with some links to biological instincts that I wouldn’t give much weight to.

“Jiggling” transfers information about their structure and your brain can create a model on their “feel” without touching.

My job.

It’s what David Graeber - Bullshit jobs defines as “duct tapers” and “box tickers”

My cats don’t like when I “blow bubbles” in their stomach (Devon Rex, so almost hairless stomach), but I still do it 😁. Dog is sharped so that it’s dick reaches it’s chest plate, so that’s a no go.

Same, although my offspring has already left the nest, but addition to the Mrs I got my house full of plants and animals.

Maybe I’m not that sane 🤔

Oh boy, where do I start. FOSS mostly

• 8Vim - when I’m drunk or moving a lot
• DotDash - when I wan’t to write with morse code just for fun.
• Hackers keyboard - for SSH terminal stuff
• Unexpected keyboard - for SSH terminal stuff and when I need a lot of special characters.
• Thumb-key - when I really have only one hand to write
• Traditional T9 - when I write English and want a good auto-complete.
• Kboard - for my kamoji needs and often reoccurring short messages.

Lemmy was mentioned few times when people were discussing leaving Reddit. When the purge date came I installed Jerboa.

My life has been running in 5 year cycles. Every 5 years something changes to make it different. It’s been 4 years now.

At first yes, and I was planning to put raspberry + HAL-sensor + relay to handle the switch when average current to the batteries lowered, but to my surprise batteries charged enough with both connected. Battery charge controller is right next to the panels and there is some distance to the heating element. It appears that the MPPT battery charge controller so much lower resistance path that the current favors it.

My test setup only has 300Ah of battery, capacity at 12V, so it’s charged quite quickly. Battery power only runs living room devices 50" TV, monitor, laptop, steamdeck, cable modem that are used about 4-6h a day and rarely on at the same time.

If it’s a hot summers day, I might manually direct all to AC

… or if there’s some catastrophic blackout during winter I can connect batteries to a radiator water circulation pump and heat the home by burning wood. This is very improbable, but at least there’s something.
