Underwaterbob, to lemmyshitpost in Back in my day

The obscure movie for me was… Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I still know every line of dialog from beginning to end any time I happen to see it on.

Underwaterbob, to lemmyshitpost in Why do you still look worried?

Buncha wimps. Spiders are not out to get you. In fact, they’re out to get far more annoying insects like mosquitoes and houseflies. Do you know how many diseases those two spread? Do you know how many spiders spread? Spiders are your friends!

r/spiderbro is one of my most missed subreddits.

Underwaterbob, to memes in I have never understood that.

As I get older, the cold bothers me more. Used to be, I could go outside and throw snowballs with my bare hands no problem. Nowadays, the temperature drops below 10, and suddenly my hands physically hurt if they get cold. It’s not even related to how physically fit I am given I started a five-day-a-week gym habit eight years ago and am in some of the best shape of my life. It’s just stupid aging as far as I can tell.

Underwaterbob, to risa in Beware imposters...

Well, I gotta say cartoon Kira and Quark have me very curious.

Underwaterbob, to asklemmy in People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

We filter our tap water here in Korea. Most people do, but as I understand, it’s safe to drink it just straight from the tap. It’s just better through a machine that gets rid of any lingering chlorine and heats it or chills it for you.

Underwaterbob, to starwarsmemes in Now he thinks of it

This might be the comment that gets me to watch it. I’ve been holding off on some preconceived notion of it further wrecking my memories of the original movies. At this point, it hardly matters. Low expectations it is!

Underwaterbob, to linux in Linux Mint 21.3 has been released

Sounds like I made the right choice.

I did have the same old printer failure today though. I suspect its endemic to Linux (or WiFi printing in Linux) given a Google search turns up the same issue in a bunch of different Linux forums. Debian based and otherwise. It was quicker to right itself in Mint than it was in Ubuntu anyway.

I just downloaded the default (Cinnamon) Mint. Is there a particular reason to go with the Debian version?

Irony is dead!

Underwaterbob, to memes in Trig

I used to, but I don’t often find the time these days. Trig for days. Especially given most game input is in (x,y) format from analog sticks or WASD. Gotta turn that into angles! (Not that you need much trig to turn WASD into angles.)

Underwaterbob, to lemmyshitpost in Back in my day

Ahh yeah. Google tells me it wasn’t until a re-release in 1981 that it was rebranded as Episode IV. You learn something new every day!

Underwaterbob, to lemmyshitpost in Back in my day

I thought the “Episode IV” was always there? I’m talking the early 80s. I’m not exactly young either…

Underwaterbob, to lemmyshitpost in Back in my day

Maybe not. I don’t think the prequels are good movies, but there’s no denying they’re some dumb fun that certainly appeals to a lot of people. The sequels don’t even have that going for them. I can’t imagine anyone being nostalgic about the return of Palpatine.

Underwaterbob, to memes in It really makes me cringe every time they talk about logic...

The funny thing is, I grew up with a bunch of Mormons for friends and one teacher I know of, and I never found out about most of the stuff they believe until much later. At least they (the ones I grew up with anyway) have the decency to not go around spreading their dogma to non-believers until they’ve already thoroughly roped them into their cult.

Underwaterbob, to piracy in For those who pirate songs, how do you discover new music?

Yeah. They certainly tend towards arty bunk. I guess I get it: it has to be hard to come up with ways to describe music that haven’t been used a billion times before, but they lean so hard into trying to be unique, it all comes out meaningless.
