I have a locally hosted invidious instance but increasingly I’m finding most of the creators I watch are on Nebula. I just recently discovered that Rifftrax has a presence there.

Satisfactory recently took over my free time. ALL of it.
Otherwise I have coding projects, CAD/printing projects, electronics projects, D&D session planning, and (of course) Lemmy/Mastodon.
My wife has a stack of 9 mostly finished quilts that just need bindings and thread burying, all set to get finished and given out between now and the end of the year.
As of yesterday the stack is down to 8 because the lap quilt destined for my workstation is currently getting its binding.
Deno2 and typescript. For no particular reason the release of Deno2 has prompted me to build a web app in my spare time. I mostly a sysadmin, I haven’t written anything but APIs and utility scripts for at least 5 years.
The House of Hohenzollern in Germany. The Habsburgs formally gave up their claim in order to create the Austro-Hungarian alliance/Empire, but they had asserted it less than a generation prior and also claimed their Empire status on that back of it. And in the Ottoman Empire the lineage of Mehmed, including Mehmed V during WWI, claimed to be the continuation of the Byzantine / Eastern Roman Empire.
The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman empire - we really on refer to them differently for temporal convenience. The west were the Latin speakers and the east were the Greek speakers (as least for the first half-millennium). And many people still called themselves Emperor of Rome, in a continuous succession, after the fall of the west. For quite a while one of the Pope’s titles was (legitimately) Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
By the 20th century it was down to 3 rightful heirs, all trying to make Europe recognize them as THE Emperor. But in the mean time their empires still recognized them as such.
It can be argued that the Roman empire didn’t truly end until WWI in 1918, 106 years ago.
The fall of the Byzantine Empire (aka the Eastern Roman Empire) resulted in a number of subdivided but diplomatically aligned states. By the end of the 19th century a number of European powers were still vying for some claim to the lineage of the Roman Empire (and the Emperor title). But as consequence of the war, the German/Prussian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires we’re all dismantled (and France was out or the running because of the revolution) so every entity with a claim was dead or out of power for the first time since the 11th century.
Given that the new agenda is to end birth control, no-fault divorce and spousal rape laws, a lot of women are about to have no say past the first one. Don’t get married, and if you’re in a bad marriage try to get out ASAP.
The ones that I get excited to see new videos from are, in no particular order:
She’s a biologist and does videos on prehistoric animals and time periods, that we know of. Entertaining videos and it turns out we studied under some of the same people.
Dr. Collier is a theoretical physicist who covers a wide arc a physics topics, and who did a pretty impressive review of Picard.
Very indepth and well researched videos about science and tech scandals and controversies
Is an Oxford Astrophysicist who covers a lot of findings about JWT and will point out upcoming things in the night sky
Most of the time I wish the nutrients would just enter my system without me ever having to think or do anything about it. So I get as close to that as possible.
I vaguely want one for diorama purposes with my MST3k Funko Pops.
It’s a playtime of savings, at Menard’s!
I use the phrase “wide-awake nightmare” kind of a lot.
At least I know where I picked it up from, the Screaming Skull episode of MST3k.
I occasionally hear “catty-corner” too.
Yeah, I mostly deal in m3 screws for my projects which, I know from experience, do get caught in type-A plugs.
Wow, great work!
Due my own personal bad habits, I fear I wouldn’t see 12 years out of most of those because of the lack of caps. A lot of random stuff ends up in my pocket when I’m doing projects. Screws and other things that will not have happy fun times with bare type A pins.
They were most notable for producing the last season of Community and airing it inbetween buffering.
I like to put my petty pop-cultural grievances in documentation because I know if someone reads it I’ll probably get an IM on the subject.
“Delete the file and it will disappear forever, like the show Other Space that was never seen again after Yahoo’s short lived streaming service imploded.”
I’ll miss all the free rechargeable lithium cells too, but there’s plenty of garbage vapes to keep us busy for ages as it is.
Not that I’m aware of, but it would be nice.
