They made a post that they were quitting Lemmy (again), moving back home and starting to see a therapist. I haven’t seen a post that was verifiably them since then.

I used to live in Lancaster, PA and the outlets had one of these. I’ve only ever seen the one, but I was given to understand they are a chain.

Reading Al talk about AI was briefly confusing.

I have to keep my window a little bit open because I use a window AC unit. Unfortunately, the build quality isn’t great and the unit is old, so there are small gaps around it. Unsurprisingly, bugs get in and, I guess because I live in a fairly rural area, the diversity is kind of impressive. I would be very surprised if nothing had climbed on me in my sleep. Just a few days ago I was laying in bed reading and a moth tried to fly straight up my nose, then into my eye. I don’t think either of us enjoyed the experience.

A week or two ago, I got an irritated spot on one of my eyes. I don’t know what caused it; maybe it was another moth. Anyway, I kept track of it but didn’t worry too much because there were no other symptoms. Then, one late night or early morning, I was trying to sleep but having no luck. As I laid with my eyes closed, I kept seeing flashes, but when I’d open my eyes there would be nothing flashing.

I was worried that my eye irritation had finally come to fruition and my retinas were detaching or something. That didn’t help with the insomnia … Eventually, though, I happened to open my eyes just as a lightning bug (or firefly or whatever your region calls them) flew right past my nose, blinking merrily.

That was a relief!

Is there an air or a water squirrel?

I don’t make a habit of lying. In fact, I avoid it where possible; I have for most of my life and was honest to a fault as a kid. I can remember two times I lied to my parents: once I took a dollar off the top of my brother’s allowance. The other time I was speeding and crashed through a fence, then told my parents I swerved to avoid a deer.

I told both of those to my dad one year and he said “I don’t think I want to hear any more confessions.” Which is good, because I had none.

Apparently they were originally supposed to be compute, but someone didn’t think the general audience would understand that, so they changed it to batteries.

That went … Middlingly in Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

I am not a woman and am … Maybe neurodivergent, but I’ve had this experience. A bunch of times.

I was just curious.

What was yours? Assuming you’re comfortable sharing.

Like, frame for frame.

I’m not sure you’re referencing an xkcd comic, but it seems likely.

If you’re on Firefox, you could also set a keyword. I haven’t used one in a while but IIRC you would then just type !u search terms (replacing the u with whatever you configured).

Accordingto GabeN, almost everyone on Steam was born 01/01/1999.

There is technically one scene outside the coffin, but I don’t think it violates the rule. To say anymore would be a spoiler.

I discovered this movie a long time ago while browsing a TV Tropes page on the same premise. If this comment section doesn’t offer enough ideas for OP, that might be the next good stop.

It probably has a Bluetooth adapter.
