  1. The sound he makes is actually funny. Probably from some kid's show where the mom and dad are trying to get a night out on the town without the kids in tow and they finally pull it off.
  2. How many users do they allow for new servers now? It was 10 earlier this year, and once your server was running for a bit and was "respectable", they'd increase the limits. Basically trying to weed out spammers/scammers or at least keep them limited and from overwhelming regular services. This says it's still 10 to start, unless I read it wrong. Early Access Federation for Self-Hosters | Bluesky So you should start now and then when Surly's reputation is proven, more than 10 can join it.
  3. Like why wasn't he one of the Multiverse Spidey's that showed up in Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield?
  4. Survivor TV show. Not sure of the context because I don’t watch such shows, but I think @Deej and I came to the conclusion that it was the perfect gif for Shaggy and now Surly, with the women representing polite society and the guy representing Shaggy/Surly when something awful happens that we find funny but we know society doesn’t.
  5. This is what the Deep State looks like. Not some bureaucrat who has been with the VA for 30 years and knows how to get some 20 year-old server to keep chugging along because there’s no money in the budget, and said server is the only difference between disabled veterans getting their checks and not getting them. It’s using the government to line your pockets and weaponizing it against your competitors.
  6. SNL game show skit. Jessica Dallas-Chastain - Ron Howard’s daughter and occasional director of Mandalorian episodes. Tombstone, Johnny Ringo’s comments about the death of an Earp. appropriate for when somebody says or does something that crosses a line but is still funny. Usually death-related.
  7. I have one of those massage devices, and have never seen it without its fluid-proof cover, nor have I never seen it in the light of day. Guess that’s how you change the batteries. The blue light is (I’m assuming) a Bluetooth indicator that would be handy if I wanted to pair it with a different phone.
  8. We need more of this in the MCU. I liked the Loki TV series, but it didn’t have this.
  9. Okay, I wish I had fully switched to Bluesky a while back. I can easily move back and forth between my Ukraine peeps, my WWII and medieval history peeps, my retro computer peeps, my fellow Sela Ward stalkers, some of my college football peeps (they are lagging everybody) and my feeds are not cluttered with bullshit and conversations are far more active. Also, they now have over 10,000 starter packs. They've doubled their user base in 90 days, and it looks like sometime today, they will hit another million new users over 24-30 hours.
  10. And let's all hope he's way toned down. I was very leery when it originally leaked. We've had enough of these types.
  11. She didn't have braces? Or maybe she did and not in every scene?
  12. Laura Loomer was well-received until she wasn't. Musk and the President-elect both think they are always the smartest guy in the room. When you have two guys in the same room who both think they are the smartest/bestest guys, hijinks ensue.
  13. We are down to pension stuff, which is understandable and will soon resolve itself in a year or two once once she hits whatever age/employment combo is needed. And we have an elderly relative helping to keep us here. Help me find the strength to do the right thing lads!
  14. New Ladas for the whole family. And they can now afford washing machines and toilets that weren't looted from Ukraine. That's still one of the most stunning images of the war that doesn't involve bloodshed - Russians looting washing machines and toilets and strapping them to vehicles to take back to Mother Russia.
  15. Holy shit, I just looked, and he turns 70 in two months.
  16. So two friends of mine were moaning about what they see on BlueSky, and they did not realize there isn’t an algorithm like Twitter, that it’s driven by people you follow/your feed/lists and that you have to kickstart everything. My wife was the same way until she got things set up. I know it’s been said here, but you have to curate this stuff, but it means you’re not inundated with bots, women with pictures of their genitalia on their profile, people who claim we didn’t land on the moon or that the Holocaust didn’t happen, or that aggy is on its way to a historic season, but who end up in your feed because they have a checkmark because they paid $8 a month, etc. You also get tabs for specific feed topics, so when you want to look at Ukraine stuff, you click on the Ukraine tab, when you want CFB stuff, you click on CFB, etc. and it’s really good and efficient to have everything so neatly organized. https://www.southernfriedscience.com/a-quick-and-dirty-guide-to-making-custom-feeds-on-bluesky/
  17. Young intelligent couples probably have the means to live in another state. And I don’t blame them.
