I went through the same path. Gmail came to mind first, then eBay, then a MUD I haven’t actually played in ages but double check that my account is there now and then.

It Could Happen Here is often talking about what’s going on that week in the world. I wouldn’t try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.
Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I’d reckon), I’ve listened to most of what has come out since.
Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It’s only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that’s your thing.
I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they’ve gone as far back as the 1600s.
Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She’s mostly done short run things on a single topic. She’s on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.
You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.
Before covid lockdown I made my living as a street performer, doing magic shows for crowds of strangers. In that very niche community, “Fat hats!” is a common farewell or replacement for “good luck”. In this case “hat” refers to the donations in the hat rather than the actual hat.
Sounds like they have been.
On your phone? As someone who lives in emacs and has done aoc in the past, I’m impressed
I spread pesto inside my grilled cheese sandwiches
Hasbro was founded in 1923 and has a history of over a hundred years.
Yep, that’s how years work.
online-go.com is the closest I know of.
Just go to online-go.com in your preferred browser. It works great on mobile. There’s a large collection of puzzles to do. Those are user submitted, which means the quality varies, but some people have put together some pretty good sets that work as tutorials for beginners.
OGS is the most popular server outside of Asia, and has a nice social side with chat rooms and… clubs? I don’t remember their name for it, but you can join groups for finding teaching games, groups for people in your geographic region, etc.
I don’t log on often these days, but I love teaching new players. Feel free to add me as a friend there (and maybe dm me here so I know to look). My name there is nomadfarmer.
You should. It’s a fun drama that inspired a lot of people to pick up go when it came to Western audiences.
Amusingly, there’s an issue with the app I use for youtube that means I’m stuck with a dubbed version in a language I don’t speak.
Canadian here.
I said “sorry” (I have no idea why)
I may have a guess for you.
I’ve been using keepass for years. I use syncthing to keep the copy of the db on my phone and laptop and backup synced.
Reddit had a community called something like 3dprintmything where you could post what you were looking for and get bids from folks who could get it to you. I dunno if we have anything like that here.
I’m from the US and I don’t order hot tea in a place that might do this. I wouldn’t trust them to make it, either, though. My reason is that the water they’d bring just isn’t going to be hot enough to steep with.
I love black tea steeped in water that started close to boiling when the tea was added and poured (or teabags removed) before the bitter tannins get too strong. Even cheap black tea can be decent if it’s brewed well.
If they bring me a pot of water, it probably came from the hot water thing on their coffee maker and it already started not hot enough even before they put it in a non-insulated metal pot. If it were hot enough, I’d actually prefer to put the bag in myself so I know when to take it out.
On average, folks in my country have never even had hot tea brewed well, and I think that bad tea is worse than bad coffee.
If I’m in, say, an Asian place, I’d be more likely to order tea since I reckon the staff are more likely to know how good it can be and how to make it.
We were definitely doing it on forums/newsgroups/listservs and in chat at least as far back as the early 90s. Using full keyboards.
Beau of the fifth column does 3-10 minute videos doing political analysis in what looks like a garage.
He said on a longer FAQ video that he’s set things up to hide his channel’s income from himself. He draws a salary that’s enough to take care of his family, but he doesn’t know how much more the channel earns – he doesn’t want his content to be influenced even unconsciously by which videos The Algorithm say paid better.
I did also, because my feed is mostly coding stuff and I actually use lisp.
Ya win some, ya learn some.
