I wonder how many kids still know what headphone cords are.

Hiking. Alone. No technology along, just my walking stick and backpack. Bonus points when it's foggy and I feel like the only person on the trail.

I have an account where I only post after I translated my writing through three different languages and back to English. The original input and the output convey the same message, but have very distinct styles. Randomizing the three languages in my translation sequence introduces enough variety that I doubt current LLM's can identify me. (Full disclosure: I don't post any sensitive information under any account; I do it just for fun.)

Keanu Reeves. Just the two of us, each on one end of the bench, enjoying a sandwich, and not talking but still content with each other's company.

I'm living with my wife and kids half a continent away, but every time we visit my parents, they have some kids or house pets from my siblings to take care of. My parents are retired, they enjoy peace, quiet and especially their own schedule by now; they shouldn't be asked to act as child minders anymore.

Wiping away excess paint if I miss. Still wet paint is easy to clean away that way. A wet wipe around your finger makes tor a very fine precision instrument to keep the edges of your painting straight.

That's what I use the wipes for. I find that I'm more precise with the wipes than rags or an old T shirt.

I used wet wipes when painting my house. They are, without a doubt, some of the most important painting tools. But also probably the most infuriating, especially if you can use only two fingers on one hand to pull out a wipe.

Free? That's when your kids send your grandkids for you to take care of. Ungrateful bastards...

This one speaks directly to me: "The only decision you should make while angry is to stop being angry." ~ Timothy Zahn, the Icarus series.

My current computer will be Linux, as soon as I stop procrastinating and clean up my documents and back them up on my NAS. Already did that with my travel laptop.

Does Skid Row count? The original band saw people come and go all the time, to the point that nobody really knew who was a member at that point. In 1987, Gary Moore, who hadn't been a member anymore, actually "sold" the name to a US band. The last original member still disputes the sale. So, you have two bands with the same name, with the original band had members replaced multiple times, with even the last remaining original member leaving and rejoining twice.

 

Looks like I'm spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I'd be purchasing from either place; it's just another example of Amazon's enshittification.

 

Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don't have physical offices where I could queue personally...

 

Banska Štiavnica is a UNESCO World Heritage site, partially because of the Calvary. These photos are from my personal archive. Come think of it, I should begin updating the photos. Since I took them, the rest of the Calvary, including the Upper Church, have been restored. Last year, they started working on the footpaths to the top, which should be the last stage of the project.

 

Welcome to the Slovakia community at lemmy.world. Feel free to discuss anything related to Slovakia or of any interest to Slovaks. Just be mindful of the following:

  • Janosik was Slovak
