I wasn't originally planning on getting her, but I found myself in Target (ugh) and there she was.

@cryptica@wireframe.icosahedron.network Maybe, but Liquid Deaths don't entirely do it for me either. They're close enough I picked up a couple cases of the flavored ones from Costco, but I'm wondering if there's some supplement(s) I could take with one to get what's in the energy drinks beside the caffeine.
Okay, I'd like to chill on the fridge cigarettes, but coffee/tea absolutely do -not- give the same effect. I'm drinking the sugar-free ones, so it's not the big hit of glucose. Is it the B vitamins? What the hell is L-carnitine and what else has it? Is the taurine actually doing something? Is there some other chemical that's having an impact?

Watched the first episode of Lucky on AppleTV and I don't think I'll be sticking with it.
The whole sequence at the end is just too much unbelievable nonsense. Every modern car has a brightly colored trunk release inside the trunk precisely so you can't get trapped in there. And then after she magically wins the fight against the two thugs, she torches the car without a single thought to going through it for anything useful. She pulls a few bills out of the one guy's wallet, but doesn't grab anything from the first-aid kit so clearly shown when she grabbed the flare? Girl, you're supposed to be a survival expert, you're in the middle of the southwest desert, and you grab -nothing-??
Anya Taylor Joy is decent, but the only other actors giving any sort of chemistry are the head FBI lady and the laundry truck driver. I think this one's a pass.

@michaelthec@poweredbygay.social $6k additional?? Does your entire suspension need replacing?
Not posting a lot as things are going mostly well, but not well enough to brag about, and I'm stupid busy. I've been trying to pare down on my social events, and the universe just keeps throwing even more stuff at me.

@michaelthec@poweredbygay.social Been there. I hope you have a good air filter for your home. If not, you can build one decently cheap out of 4 or 5 hvac filters, a box fan, and some good duct tape. (make cube of filters with one side as the box fan and have it set up to blow out of the cube).

I need a new game. I've wrapped up everything I want to do in Hades 2, and by all my research there's no super special 100% ending.
I'm tempted to just rebuy Cyberpunk on the Steam Deck, but I've got at least 400 hours in that game on PS5 and I'm not sure I want to deal with the utter lack of happy endings for anyone that is baked into the genre.
I tried jumping back into Transistor, but the playstyle wasn't hitting. Maybe it's time to charge up the Switch and give Disco Elysium another shot. Or maybe it's time to finally pay Baldur's Gate III?

Goddamn, why is it SO hard to get back into routine?? I'm doing Conjugate when I'm actually getting a workout in as it lets me do it with minimal prep.
At the very least I'm still doing my pull-ups every day, and I do my pull-ups and dips when its not raining and I can get the dog out for his long walk.
Finally got some squats in today.

@Urluck_UR@retro.pizza With the general price increases and my overflowing bins, I really haven't been excited about much of anything that I've seen recently. I picked up the TFOne Airachnid and SS86 Thundercracker, and they're decent, but not really hitting the way new figures used to.
I'm waiting to see what the next Infinite Finity figure will be after the DeLorean Vector Prime. If the insert comic from their AE86 Drift is anything to go by, it'll be the A-Team van and that sounds doooope.

@gruff@4bear.com Leg press is -significantly- easier. One of my best friends leg presses between 250 and 300, but she die if she tried to squat 135.
Some of that is technique, but a lot is taking out your core. Think of how much even the most minor tweak in your low back impacts squat performance.

@trib I appreciate you typing that all out.
Where my confusion lies is that doesn't feel like it fits the definition of enshittification. As I understand it, enshittification is the result of an active decision that benefits the company at the cost of the user experience, (e.g. the addition of inline ads in a feed). However IRC and Usenet weren't actively made worse, they were abandoned in favor or options that appeared to be easier/better/more convenient (and then those options enshittified).
I suppose this could just be me being pedantic. I really do try to not be a dirty prescriptivist where language is concerned.

@simonzerafa@infosec.exchange
@simonzerafa @trib I've never touched Usenet and barely used IRC. Would you be willing to talk a little more about how those got enshittified? I'm a little confused as that doesn't jive with my understanding of what that word means.
