The best community search I know of is Lemmy Explorer. I found !marijuanaenthusiasts@lemmy.world but it doesn’t seem active. There are probably more if you’re willing to spend more than the 30 seconds I did on it.

I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

They always spend like an hour in the hallways outside the Penn and Teller Theater after shows meeting fans. The people who crowd around Teller are often magicians because he is notoriously generous when it comes to helping other magicians. They both are really, but I think a majority of successful magicians in the US have a trick in their repertoire that Teller helped out with in some way or another.

The only celebrities that I met and had a moment to converse with were Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas.

My wife and I met them at a release event for a small electric car company in 2011 or 2012. I had just gotten a copy of “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along blog: The Book” and it was the first time he had seen it. So basically we flipped through the book together and Nathan pointed out things in pictures and talk about who made them or what they were made of.

One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.

I don’t think this game has much replayability. Especially as the server is becoming less and less stable.

Mallrats. And the director’s commentary is good too.

I always wonder what happened to the ensign that Ashley Judd played. Dr Crusher had a word with the Chief and ensign what’s-her-name was suddenly transferred to a Star Fleet farm in the beta quadrant.

Lemmy trends burn bright and fast.

Bob’s burgers is on in the background at my house quite a lot.

This is warning showing why spreading out is important. No one instance being offline should be able to affect so many Motorheads at once.

I learned the basics of 3D printing and Fusion 360 (CAD software) via youtube. And the 3D printing has gotten easier since I learned.

In the 90’s before I was doing it professionally, I used to go on massive 10 - 15 hour binge programming sessions only stopping when I realized I hadn’t eaten in that entire time. It was some of the best fun I’ve ever had. But it happened rarely and organically, not 5 days a week on a predetermined schedule.

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

1. Every day is a day I’d rather have off.
2. It ruined the thing I loved (programming) for me

The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to “Lemmy: Discorse is Magic” all the time “ironically.” There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they “hated” Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Broemmys.

Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gaggers coming to Lemmy but didn’t know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be… Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.

Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good band who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gaggers who used to think it was a joke.

I enjoyed “See also: Anal Hygiene”

There are people still alive who remember a world before “splinter-free” toilet paper.

The manufacturing of this product had a long period of refinement, considering that as late as the 1930s, a selling point of the Northern Tissue company was that their toilet paper was “splinter free”.

Wide awake nightmare: A terrible thing you have to live with, you can’t just wake up from it.

As in the line from the MST3k episode The Scream Skull, “This is Micky, Micky is a wide awake nightmare.”

Having just restored a Pop_OS machine I’m starting to give a real hard look at NixOS. Every time I had install a package or make changes (that I end up making on all of my workstations) I kept thinking, “this could all be defined in a single config and I could be done by now…”

My last couple computers have never been sullied by Windows (or “secure” boot).
