@TechConnectify Yeah, It's probably entirely fine to do that. It's still one of those things that would get me to go to the "if you have 2 of something, you only have 1" school of planning for disasters. I'd probably go ahead and plug the refrigerator and freezer into it even if it was the only transportation form, but I'd probably live off something that didn't need cooking if it was my only car. I kept my old car in working order just to have a backup for emergencies.

@TechConnectify Nobody said fears or anxieties had to be grounded in reality. ;)

@TechConnectify Interesting, but it really tweaks my fears of using up too much of a vital battery resource. This is why I don't play games on my phone as well and instead use dedicated gaming handhelds, I'd be too worried about running it out of batteries and not being able to contact people. If I wanted to use electric cooking appliances in a power outage, I'd probably want to get a separate battery bank for the house. Though, if I had two cars I might consider it.

@pro Maybe it's trying to tile some window to that side and hasn't completed the task.

@benjedwards @clive Shortly before the Spice wars.

@pro That's usually by convention of the people using it, the one used to reply there is officially labeled as "tired" by the emoji system, but a lot of them are used for purposes other than their label, like the "pray/bless" one is used in a discord server I'm in as a "high five" icon in that server.

@zaitcev They probably came from places like Discord, where it's an easy way to just respond to a post without actually making a formal response. They don't get notifications over there either.

@hackaday I just bought a A1200 replica case when I wanted to build a wedge all-in-keyboard computer.

@anime In a later chapter, it talks about how her father was the one who introduced her to gaming, so there's one point in favor of "if you have kids, you can get them into gaming too."

@RobbieT @Johncdvorak I imagine someone might have done it to show a size comparison, then someone else inexperienced with firearms thought it was something else when putting it into the article.

@moh_kohn Well, it's not so much pouring oil on the fire, but because you're interacting with something, it assumes that other people who interact with those people will have other connections you would like to interact with. The tenor of the interaction matters less, the fact that you created content in response is the key. You ignore them, they assume it's useless to show you similar things. So, interact positively with things you like, don't interact with what you hate.

@anime @hfaust Yeah, they've been making a number of manga you've talked about into anime, I wonder if we'll ever get a Isekai Tensei Soudouki anime.

@anime Not yet, I'm only 14 episodes in, but it's definitely trying to get game nerds to talk to girls, which could lead to other things. It's a step in the direction.

The Kimi to Pico-Pico manga seems like another attempt to reverse the birth rate decline in Japan. Haha.

@retrotechtive I think one of those was the first bit of computer equipment i ever accidentally broke.

@retrotechtive Is that one of those terrible Apple II joysticks? That plug into a dip socket on the motherboard?

@8bitboyz If you go a little bit later, you can get "Stay awhile, and listen."

Isekai Walking is now up to 9 published episodes with 10 different translators, it's a meme to the point where the new translator called it out.

And really, "Toumei Otoko to Ningen Onna ~Sonouchi Fuufu ni Naru Futari~" is also a pretty cute manga. It's an interesting premise.
