Ever since this wild-eyed pervert threw out the first pitch at a Mets game, the team has had the best record in baseball

I love Grimace, and I'm no longer ashamed to say it








Sometimes it's the littlest things that make the difference. When my laptop goes to sleep, all I have to do to wake it up and log in is to start typing my password. Don't have to wake the computer, then click the password box.....I just start typing. I'm running Linux Mint, and I've tried other #Linux distros but none of them work this way--which annoyed me enough to stop using them. Is this unique to #linuxmint ? Or some larger subset of operating systems/desktops?

David Airlie, Red Hat kernel maintainer, about the Rust-for-Linux drama: "if people start acting as active roadblocks to work, rather than sideline commentators who we can ignore, then I will ask Linus to step in and remove roadblocks"

This is the new Chevy Silverado electric pickup with a monstrous 205 kWh battery. That gives it a range of 440 miles (708 km) per charge and a 0-100 time of 4.5 seconds. The trolls are gonna have zero-emission hernias over this one! 😂

looks as though it will kill and maim pedestrians and cyclists just as effectively as ICE trucks do.









Turtlehead update. September 6th, southern Minnesota. We are happy to see blossoms in year two of the plants. It’s wonderful to have native plants and pollinators and turtleness all in one being. #nativeplants, #pollinators, #minnesota, #Bloomscrolling, #20nativeplants20days, #turtles.


Any #VHS #VCR techs on here? I got this Toshiba W-612 for $5 and it's way better than my existing VCR, except for the small matter of the tape immediately slipping off one of the guide rollers. Any idea how to fix this? Everything looks clean and nothing seems seized.

This one is perplexing me because you almost think you could stop it by happening just by putting your finger on top of that roller but no, something is inexorably drawing the tape up and off the roller; is there too much friction earlier on?
