My wife misspoke and said "Neil Degrasse TITAN"

So obviously I spent half an hour in a generative ai tool.

What was your last refund? Why did you get your last refund?
  • Yeah the printing lines were not even sanded off the top.

    I do want to thank you kindly for the offer to print one up. You Rock! But shipping to Canada would probably be ugly.

    I hope to pick up a 3d printer this winter and if I manage it I will use this as a learning project.

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • I pay for yt family premium and Netflix but use neither of them on a regular basis.

    My nephews grew up with a pretty shitty life. They don't have a lot of fun things they can do in their situation. I figured the least I could do is give them YouTube music and some access to watch TV and movies on Netflix wherever they happen to be.

    It's the same reason my steam family is chock full of games I'll never play.

  • Video shows officers dragged [NFL Star] Tyreek Hill out of his car after he put his window back up
  • Where do you live that cops deserve respect? Nobody DESERVES respect, least of all due to their shitty job. If you want respect you earn it, and cops have been doing the opposite (in north america) since their inception.

  • Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable
  • People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.

    In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

  • Vans you say?

    This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!

    Anybody familiar with optician work able to tell me if this optician was lying?

    Location: Canada

    Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.

    And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.

    ---

    I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.

    I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.

    I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.

    Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying?

    Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements.

    Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame.

    It all feels like a scam.

    Another Double Bun

    There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.

    NCSoft has granted the 'Private' homecoming server City of Heroes devs a license to host the game legally.
    forums.homecomingservers.com NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement

    NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement Hello everyone! We’d like to thank you all for your patience over the past few years, and we’re incredibly thrilled to announce that it’s paid off: NCSOFT® has officially granted Homecoming a license to host City of Heroes™. We’ll have much more to sha...

    NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement

    The private servers have been up a while. But it is always hard for fan projects to gain traction for devs, players, or donations, when the IP could be yanked at any time. NCSoft granting a license should provide one heck of a shot in the arm for this cult classic game.

    Go. Hunt. KILL Skul!

    Little (fun)guy trapped by root

    I thought this growth pattern was weird, and on inspection it seems like it pushed up past a tiny root that is now choking it.

    I was thinking of going out his morning to cut the root out.

    What do the pros think?

    It is that time of year again

    Ok, you got me. These are from last year. But the mycelial networks are kicking into high gear right about now, and I'm getting antsy for some photo hunting.

    Anyone doing commissions?

    I'm looking for a set of motorcycle saddlebags in the style of vintage horse riding gear.

    Example below, but my 'perfect' version is quite a bit darker:
