I've been using FX File Explorer since 2012. It's straight up the best file manager on Android, especially when you use SMB and SFTP. Multi window makes moving things around easy as, and the built in text editor works a treat. Being able to share images from apps to FX's "Save As" option is awesome to. It means every app can save where you want.

No idea why it isn't more popular compared to the alternatives.

I bought this game in July 2023 for some reason, and have 60ish hours in it.

I randomly fire it up every so often because it's quick to load, quick to get in to action and actually playing, and most importantly it's fun - you know, what games are meant to be!

Vampire Survivors is the other time sink in this genre. Unfortunately I have that on PC and mobile. That's bad for productivity.

I love that this post was like four rows below this one on my front page:

The irony of an American lecturing another country on finding an alternative to shooting.

I would also like to die on this hill.

Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was ~~always~~ best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic "pound quake 3 arena" audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.

"Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena"
".... What the hell was that?"

Anything GM associates with is generally shit, so this is less exciting than Hyundai going it alone tbh.

I'm actually surprised the robot mowers dont just bump off them to be honest, my Husqvarna 450X is barely an inch off the ground and just bumps in to anything higher than that then spins around and goes in another direction

I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type

I'm the opposite... I rarely reply when I'm on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.

Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

 

I bought a torch that has a 365nm UV light, which I believe is UV-A?

When doing a poke around my house to see what I could see with UV, I noticed that my freshwater fish tanks looked "cloudy" / "milky" under UV, yet they are crystal clear under normal light.

I checked tap water and bottled water with the same torch and they do not react and look perfectly clear under both UV and normal light

I also have an auto top off for one of the tanks which is full of ~50L of a mix of RO water and tap water treated with dechlorinator and this also does not react.

I have 3 tanks inside of various volumes (700L, 150L, 20L) and various stocking levels which all show the water as a pale flourescent green colour under UV. The colour is uniform and completely spread out through the water volume, not concentrated on any area or in layers or whatever.

The currently empty 20L tank reacted the least, leading me to believe that it may be some sort of organic material that is causing the UV light to react so much?

 
 

I assume there are people who read these things, otherwise companies wouldn't send me so many of them. I seem to get daily spam from literally any company I've ever interacted with in any way, and they are long boys full of text and pictures that Thunderbird helpfully hides from me but I presume are full of jagged brightly coloured stars saying "DEAL DEAL DEAL" or whatever.

Mostly I click delete on these emails faster than the email client can even load them, but every so often I peruse a few sentences of the trade specific items that give a headline that promises actually interesting information... but its always just more marketing guff disguised as a news story.

It's obviously making someone money to spam the world constantly, so I assume someone is reading these things and acting on them.

  1. Who are you?
  2. Why are you interacting with the spam and making it viable for companies to keep sending it?
  3. What do you do that you have so much free time you can allocate some of it to consuming it?
