But wouldn't ending it sooner than what you learned BE the details of your death? So you're not dying earlier than your original death date, because that IS your death date.

As someone who likes bird photography and spent half his life skateboarding, this is such a badass photo.

Hoonigan made a video on a twin engine MX3 a few years back. Not quite 4, but it’s a cool car nonetheless.

Slice of bread and table syrup (not maple syrup). Super quick, sweet snack. I call it the poor man’s pancake.

ShadowCatEXE , 21 days ago

These are usually things you already have at home. You don’t even have to toast it like the waffles. Just pour the syrup on the bread and away you go.

What if you shift into an inanimate object? Do you just no longer exist? Can you change back?

Harry Potter. All of them. I’m currently reading the books, and I know that when I’m done I’m going to be so disappointed that there’s nothing left to experience the first time.

Hmm, that’s a great option. Although, I’m not a big audiobook/podcast fan because I feel I need to concentrate on it to understand what’s going on, and that’s not particularly useful when driving/working/etc, but I may give it a shot in the future!

The total stairs a staircase has. I cannot walk up or down a staircase without counting, and it makes me satisfied when the number ends in an even number.

Terrariums. I love miniature things, including tiny ecosystems. There’s a few communities on Lemmy, but they’re mostly inactive, and have a tiny amount of subscribers.

Maybe more weird than alarming, but can also be alarming.

I was about 14 years old. Hanging out with a friend, and we went over to someone’s house. They had a bong and some weed, so what the hell, eh? I took a rip. For about 10-20 minutes, I was fine. We were hanging out on some chairs. A few of us ended up moving towards the front of the house, and it was at this point I have no recollection of what happened. It seemed like I blacked out for a while. I came to consciousness when I was asked if I had a can of ginger ale… I had no backpack, so why I was asked that, I’ve no idea. However, it seemed like I was standing in this persons driveway for a good amount of time, facing the garage door, away from the others, totally out of it and blacked out. My friend and I ended up going to his then girlfriend’s house, had a bonfire and ate some snacks. When we were leaving, I promptly yacked all over his girlfriend’s front yard. I was 100% after that.

That was the last time I smoked weed. I’m fairly confident that was maybe a little more than weed…

What is this pimple on my toe, and why does it have eyes? I think it barks too

100%. I get headaches really easily with the smell of cigarette smoke. Absolute no go from me.

Favourite was dodgeball, for obvious reasons. Least favourite was dodgeball, cause we played with volleyballs.

Probably shooting the chips from cutting a log with a chainsaw at my face. That’s gotten be at some point painful and extremely annoying.

ShadowCatEXE , 1 month ago

I’m not a big chips person, but I do enjoy jalapeño Doritos. Tastes like salsa.

Toast with butter and brown sugar. Super cheap, super good, and basically ingredients almost every household has.

Late 1800’s is when the town was established. Lots of houses from then are still standing, but a good number of them have had additions built, so they’re not 100% original.

Anything that forces me to change what I think about and pay attention to. Video games, driving, ATV rides, etc.

Also just learning to understand (within reason) that things you can’t control don’t deserve a lot of your mental capacity. No reason to worry about it, because you can’t do anything to change the outcome.

Take out the towns trash, if you know what I mean…

Live? Yes. Remain sane? That’s to be determined.

Really though, I watch it for entertainment purposes 95% of the time. If YouTube were to seize to exist, I’d probably find an alternative or stick to streaming services like Twitch.

Yeah, you right.

Software engineer. Work from home and I use the same monitors for work and personal.

Usually for work, I have code in the middle, specs on the left and the app on the right. When I’m not using specs, I have Spotify or video related things on one monitor.

For personal use, gaming is done on the middle monitor. Sometimes I have Spotify on the left, video on the right. Sometimes it’s a mix of discord/video/spotify on the left and right monitors. Sometimes I have a hockey game on one monitor and YouTube on the other.

Middle is my main.

It’s not often I don’t have something on all monitors.

My uncle owned an 80’s suburban. That thing was an absolute tank… and not in a good way. The steering had so much play in it, you had to turn the wheel about 45 degrees for there to be any input.

A fedex truck actually ended up t-boning him, and the truck flipped. He was fine. Suburban wasn’t. Probably for the best.

Not a rule, but I got in trouble by jumping near a brick wall. The school I went to had bars on the bottom windows, and kids used to jump off the wall and hang off them. During recess, I was jumping beside the wall, and got yelled at.

It was a catholic school. Most teachers were garbage. Except this one Australian teacher. He was awesome.

Digital. I use Kindle and just submit to Amazons monthly fees.

Small town. I was born and raised in Toronto/GTA. Moved to a small town during Covid, where my dad was born and raised… Absolutely love it. I do of things I was never able to do (or did) in the city. I can do all of those things alone and without people watching (wonderful, as an introvert).

I do occasionally travel to Toronto for work, and I absolutely despise it. First day, I want to go back home. Too much chaos. Too much traffic. Too much people. I simply don’t know what to do when I’m there and have free time.

While working, anything with lyrics will distract me, so usually it’s Kai Engel. If it’s shit I need to do around the house, usually metal.

I still use Reddit for research purposes (programming and auto related things). But I also got rid of other means of social media like Twitter and Instagram. I still have a Facebook account, but it’s strictly for communications with family.

I only use Lemmy and Mastodon (for hockey news).

The course I took in college had 2 required classes for COBOL. A large majority of students did not like it, but I understand why it was (and still is) being taught. Huge demand. I enjoyed it at first, but then gradually started to dislike it, especially when getting into more complex problems. I'd have commically large files where 60-70% of the file itself is taken up by data definitions. Not to mention that the logic itself could probably be a fraction of the size in higher level languages... Not forgetting to properly tab your code was also hard to get used to. I'd consistently lose marks on that.

If you can learn to love it, it's probably a fantastic career path...

Those who do enjoy it, I really do envy you. I really did want to like it, but it just didn't work out.

This one’s a bit of a preference and not much an ingredient, but a topping. I tend to put molasses on pancakes over syrup or honey. I still occasionally use maple syrup or honey, but I love the bitterness of molasses.

ShadowCatEXE , 3 months ago

Interesting. I drink black coffee, but I have tried with molasses… it’s not bad by any means, but not something I would drink every day. Never once have I tried maple syrup (and I’m Canadian). I’ve tried maple flavoured coffee, but it didn’t taste great. I’ll have to give it a shot.

Reminds me of the time I had fun screwing up our CRT TV with magnets.

I tend to use random lines of code that don’t make much sense.

For example:

W0rds::Format(a[0],b[9])->Render(delta);

Lengthy, memorable, incorporates numbers, special characters, upper and lowercase.

The challenge is having to type it in on phones or other devices not a computer.

I don’t currently use a password manager, but I probably should.

I drive an Audi S4. It has issues. If it’s no more, I’d probably replace it with another unreliable German vehicle. I also drive an F150, and it has broken a few times. If it croaks, I’d probably replace it with another F150…

Why I do this to myself? No idea.

I love onhockey because it has multiple leagues. However, on iOS devices the ads/popups are horrible to deal with (even with brave), so I'll use nhlbite.com when needed. I don't know of another site like onhockey that has all leagues.

There's also nhl66.ir that provides great quality streams, but you need a VPN to watch now. nhl66 also does not work on iOS anymore. Works fine on Android.

Just a green tea bag in a mug with hot water. I leave the tea bag in the whole time. No milk or sugar. Sometimes I’ll drink celestial herbal tea, but it’s very strong if you leave the tea bag in too long.

It’s possible, but I wouldn’t put it past Apple to ignore the VPN when checking your location. I’d suspect they’d check using more than 1 approach (Internet, GPS, country on your Apple account, etc) to verify your location.

ShadowCatEXE , 5 months ago

Not every iOS device uses a SIM card, and not every SIM enabled device uses one. It's a potential way to verify location, but not a reliable one.

Half for me, and the other half for me.
