I had no idea she was in Solo. I’m so bad at faces.

I would have set a turkey on their ottoman, personally.

Strong words from someone who’s not really here.

Hey, thanks for extending this thread with me. It was fun.

Also, have you seen the movie Home? One could very easily argue about whether it’s a good movie, but there’s a scene in it where a hostile alien ship flies into Saturn’s ring and has a very visually impressive impact.

Again, not making any comment on the quality of the movie in general … That scene struck me as so cool that a screenshot of it has been my wallpaper on my work computer for nine years.

edit: I don’t run a public webserver anymore, but at the time I did and was unaware of things like nextcloud and copy party, so I had to save the screenshot to my webserver to get it to my work computer to use as the background.

This was also the content of a Dilbert strip.

As you all know, many posts are poorly censored to confound OCR. I don’t love that, but it makes sense.

Sometimes I think things have been censored, but it turns out that they were simply partially obstructed by UI elements on my phone.

For this post, I had to try to figure out how “linguist” was offensive before I discovered there’s apparently now an entirely functionless line that shows up on the bottom of my screen when opening images.

Possibly better than space honey.

For what it’s worth, this also works well if you want to lie to yourself about how much weight you’ve gained.

That’s probably not the healthiest approach, though.

As an alternative, I once was wearing a no name brand one of these at work and it simply broke. I spent the rest of the day with an extension cord tied around my waist. It was also adjustable and, as a bonus, all of my customers of the day got a kick out of it.

I think this is the kind of heart monitor you get if you have heart concerns. For example, a few months ago I had an experience that might have been a heart attack. When I told my doctor, they recommended wearing a heart monitor for two weeks to identify any problems.

I wasn’t instructed to write down any details. Instead, the monitor came with a phone with a locked down app. If I experienced symptoms, I would press a button on the monitor attached to my chest, then choose the symptoms on the app (high HR, chest pressure, lightheadedness, nausea, etc.) There was a section for notes, but it was optional.

I can see an argument being made for it being invasive, but it’s not mandatory and, at least from my experience, you don’t have to provide any information you don’t want to (though you probably should for a proper diagnosis).

I haven’t yet had my follow-up appointment, but I very much doubt the cardiologist has any interest in anything that is not directly relevant to your evaluation.

Fair enough, just don’t forget to tie an onion to your belt.

Happy to be of service, but I feel like calling Grandpa Simpson (or Abe if you prefer) “the old Simpsons man” is doing him a disservice.

Broccoli guy rules!

6-7 is a thing kids say these days, apparently. Like 69, 420, etc.; except so far as I’ve seen 6-7 is the height of a popular basketball player, a reference to a rap song, or possibly both.

I’m not going to attack it because I’ve made plenty of dumb references, but I don’t know enough to justify this one. My kid is too young to say this and I have no other connection to modern youth culture.

I’m not sure how the numbers connect to the image.

Is a generic “yes” permitted?

Well this was just depressing.

Nice view, though.

Hey, don’t judge until you’ve tried bowling without hands.

My life so far with my wife is for sure something I would describe as winning.

I didn’t know Homer was on lemmy. That’s pretty awesome actually.
