@MisterBoring said in Very off topic: Sesame Street Characters - which do you remember the most fondly?:

For me it’s not a character so much as this segment:

Absolutely this and the one where the little girl goes to the store for a quart of milk, a stick of butter, and a loaf of bread. Whenever my husband says he’s going to the store or I say I’m running to grab stuff and we ask what do we need, we always end the list with that phrase. ❤ childhood was sweet.

A quart of milk

@Selira TY I will check it out.

I’m neither an expert nor a local, but these seem like good causes worth more attention. Thanks.

@BloodAngel I did not know about this and did not care until right now.

Same, but now I kind of care.

obsidian

I use obsidian as my note-taking app. It’s fast and saved on your PC as markdown files so there’s no worries about cloud services going down etc. It also allows for wiki-style links between notes. It is pretty cool just out of the box but throw in throw in the community-created plug-ins and it’s wicked powerful.

I can honestly say that Obsidian was a really big part of getting my masters thesis done. Especially because Microsoft word must just die in a fire. 🤬

Oh! Congrats/good luck. Yell if you need anything.

Thank you! I’ll more than likely hit you up for advice at some point and to beg you to scan book chapters for me. Doing a research thesis in Japan is hard with no English libraries near me but I managed, and I’ll manage again!

You know I’m always happy to help!

One of the things I love about our last series of scopes is that we’ve been all: Ok we think it’ll be this good, which is awesome and then the telescope is all…

Hold my drink.

I really like my Pixel 6 Pro until it sometimes forgets how to make phonecalls.

Ah, yes. I just call that the Forced Airplane Mode Tutorial feature. An interactive game where you stare blankly for a few seconds, then jab airplane mode on, then off, then stare blankly until the bars come back.

It’s a quality feature.

Real talk, yes, is annoying and I hope they fix that.

Double posting because holy shit.

My main craft-based hobby these days is bobbin lace. Other than that, I crochet and I can knit if I have to. I used to make chainmail, and one of these fine days I’ll start making some YouTube videos on that. Embroidery and cross-stitch I’ve done, and dressmaking, and candlemaking; I tried quilting long ago and will do it again at some point, but probably not with a sewing machine.

@Testament That leatherwork is gorgeous.

I am usually not a Walmart shopper because ew, capitalism. But…

Walmart currently has some of the official Antsy Labs’ fidget cubes on sale for under $3.

Just putting this out there since the discussion reminded me of it.

I read lots of things, mostly fantasy and SF, but also poetry, literary fiction, trashy pop romances, history, non-fiction. I love a smart style and a voice that brings out an interesting character. The last couple years, I’ve been able to read nothing but comfort reads. I’ve given a lot of thought to what makes these comforting to me, and I think it’s some message of “No matter what the rest of the world says, you have a place here. This is your home.” A couple favorite series that I’ve found recently have been Victoria Goddard’s Greenwing & Dart, and Martha Wells’ Books of the Raksura. And then there’s Everina Maxewell’s Winter’s Orbit, a book I’ve read 5 times since last October, and I almost never reread anything. For comfort reads, I also recommend reading cook books. Just slowly wander through the stories, ingredients, and instructions, and really enjoy the pictures.

Whoa yeah, no kidding. They recapped those at lightning speed!
