I've programtically worked with AIS transponders about 10 years ago.

Stuff boats use to transmit their position.

No security, 100% spoofable.

So, youngest is playing roblox with her friend online, using a cellphone to her ear to do voice chat.

I yelled "This is what discord was made for!"

She just look at me like I was speaking a foreign language.

Inbred failsons of nobility.

What a great description.

today somebody asked me for help with designing an arduino-controlled circuit with software to drive a transistor that switches between two sets of LEDs. me in engineer mode, we got down to the actual requirements: a passive toggle switch. not an MCU, not software. "but AI told me i need an ardunio"

spotify is quite convenient but did you know a lot of indie free/nyop bandcamp artists work is also archived on internet archive

I'm in search of a Windows utility for viewing old SNES art asset files ( Tiles, Palettes, animations ). If anyone out there has found a utility that can load .CGX, .COL, .SCR, .OBJ files please let me know. I've tried YY-CHR (best), YAZE and SNESTilesKitten but none of them do a great job. Thanks!

btw for Windows, Linux, and Mac, I hope y'all know you can play Unreal, Unreal Tournament 99, and Unreal Tournament 2004 for free right now via the OldUnreal project. They have install instructions for all three platforms and are continuing to patch the games for modern systems.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Hmm, I have some flax in the back yard, guess I better burn some, so I can compare smells.

(Lol, no subtext, literally curious what burnt flax smells like)

That's it! End of Summer! I've put on my slippers.

Webcomic artists should also be eligible for public arts grants.

Panel 1: A man with a round, bald head wearing a shirt and tie looks up at a starry night sky. His speech bubble reads: "SOMETIMES IT JUST FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS AGAINST ME". Panel 2: The man looks dejected as he stares into the vastness of space. A small speech bubble above him simply says, "SIGH". Panel 3: The man continues to stare at the stars in silence. Panel 4: Massive, glowing letters appear in the night sky, yelling: "HAVE YOU TRIED YOGA?!" The man looks startled and defensive, throwing his hands up as his speech bubble reads, "WHAT NO".

What do they smell like?

Balance on one leg, hold your arm out, close your eyes, and then try to touch your nose without falling over.

Do three times, then take a deep breath.

The go make your fav hot drink.

(Your brain is been a dick to you, ignore it)

Yes it's all crap, yet there is so good and beauty too if you look.

I rewrote my shaders in Rust. Now they're just as slow, AND they take a lot longer to compile 😎 aww yeah.
