Man I really hope my hands hold out this time, trying really hard to focus on stretching/posture and not reverting to grocery store broken cab gorilla-level button mashing.

The fact you're conflicted at all is more evidence you deserve them honestly, but I appreciate the care and research that goes into your picks regardless of your final choice.

You need referral links, I have spent more on infrastructure (and been happier as a result) on the basis of your recommendations than basically anyplace else on the web.

RIP Gamecraft Laguna, you were the source of a lot of great memories. Thanks for putting up with me just hanging at the corner of the bar reading and sipping my way through delicious pilsners. Hopefully the other locations make it to when I can drink again, here's one last PROST!

Only slightly inspired by my grocery bill: for those of you who grew up with parents who were stretching the food dollar, what's the "substitute fancy" food that's stuck with you? For me it's salmon-flavored cream cheese. Cream Cheese at all was already a treat, so it was extra special.

Hope everyone has a very happy Remix weekend and mashes on a few Braum combo trials when you're taking a break from leveling.

Also eat something tasty you might not have otherwise, you deserve it.

Bad news: migraine day when I thought I was doing a lot better. Also out of Ubrelvy so we get to play discount card roulette.

Good news: cats enjoy cuddling with my body as I lie curled in bed suffering.

Ambiguous news: duvet cover + silver and white cats means no social media worthy photos.

Ume, the Malayan tapir calf, isn’t exactly dainty when it comes to eating her salad behind the scenes. 🥬 Now, 8 months old and 400 pounds, she’s growing fast, and those loud crunches mean she’s getting all the greens she needs to thrive. 💗

The amount of information in this video is incredible and most people have no idea how bad they are at using Excel.

Did the first 10 Warwick combo trials at lunch, then went back to the Braum trial that was messing with me (Beginner 5) and spent another 10m on it. I just really struggle with air juggles apparently, which is gonna make the medium term of this game really tough.

Alexa can remove specific instances the night before (e.g. I can suspend my Monday alarms on Sunday) but you can't do it ahead of time (e.g. suspend my Monday alarms on Saturday).

Owen @olandgren.bsky.social · 4d

Working on my Braumbos veeeery slowly (god I am horrifically bad at air combos) and got some drip. Still not sure I prefer the customization over my closed beta version but probably more accurate to real life

I am not the universe's strongest soldier by any means and would appreciate not being tested further this year, please and thank you.
