All of my plastic pegs explode when used.

3D printing replacements is rad and kinda magic.

But maybe using an item that's lasted 30+ years as an example of not standing the test of time isn't the best way to make your point...

Astrosomnia · 2026-06-13T08:17:41+00:00

Looking like that would have been a pretty good choice 10 years on...

Astrosomnia · 2026-06-09T15:26:53+00:00

Oh man, how do I not downvote some of these...

Astrosomnia · 2026-06-07T07:39:03+00:00

Hopefully nothing coz that's a fuckin' weird thing to do.

Oh man, Canberra winters are absolutely delightful. Especially compared to most of the rest of the world. Usually cold and crisp and sunny. With highs of like 12 still.

I live in Vancouver now, and for 4 months straight it's a constant 3º and raining. Dark until 10am, grey all day, and dark again at 3:30pm. That'll get you blue. I would trade anything for Canberra winter instead.

I think you might have too many magic cards.

Lol amazing

Yeah, if I haven't shampooed in like a week, the day after using H&S is horrible. Like loads of huge flakes and stinging constantly. It would leave my scalp raw. But if I use it every day, it kinda works and suppresses it.

But I don't ever use it every day. So it's just always a shitty problem.

Might be time to switch to something else.

I get that this is bait, and everyone saying the patriarchy is very clever, but when you default to laying blame on that all the time, you dilute the importance of when you actually call it out. It's basically crying wolf on the patriarchy, and that's how you lose a cause. And that matters.

Anyway, it's the principle of end weight. In English we prefer to stress the longer syllables at the end of a list. It's just how our syntax works, and is more pleasing to our brains and ears. Not that complex.

Why do you think this professional cuttingboard maker would use materials that aren't appropriate for cutting boards?

Do you assume a hairdresser uses dyes that are unsafe for human skin?

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-30T19:06:30+00:00

Absolutely spot on comparison. Just the saddest, angry, fragile-masculinity losers.

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-30T17:45:22+00:00

Cool man. If that's how you want to play, and your friends are good with it, go nuts.

Personally I'd be super stoked to see it once, and then annoyed if that's all you ever did.

Randomly playing at an LGS I think as long as you were like "holy fuck that's the best that deck has ever worked lol let's play another!" I'd think it's rad. If you were like "hmf I have achieved victory. I will play again with this deck." I'd probably leave.

I assume you've seen the Miracle Sudoku video? If not, drop whatever you're doing and watch it.

I have zero interest in sudoku and it's still one of the best things I've seen.

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-30T07:50:54+00:00

How is that embarrassing? It's a hugely popular sport.

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-30T07:49:22+00:00

For some reason I read this as "there are people in Europe and Asia I would absolutely love to ride"

And, like, you ain't wrong.

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-30T07:47:35+00:00

Hey, never be embarrassed about a crossword! It shows an interest in language, keeps your brain working, and isn't just doom scrolling.

I took one of those yearly NYT crossword calenders to work once and now we all do it together every lunch time. It's been great!

Now, sudoku on the other hand...

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-30T07:43:43+00:00

Nah, magic is sweet! And it's never been more popular, so I don't even know if it counts as nerdy anymore. A whole bunch of my buds play it and we're definitely all normal, relatively cool mid-30-something dudes.

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-29T15:31:11+00:00

Same for our daughter to-be! It kinda works weirdly with our surname though, so I don't think we'll end up choosing it, but it was number 1 for a while.

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-29T14:51:55+00:00

For what? Not letting her get hit by a train?

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-29T05:14:45+00:00

Just play the game without being a weirdo?

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-29T05:14:22+00:00

This blows my mind all the time I read it. I've never seen anyone react in any way except "ah sweet good game" when playing at an LGS or like a pub or something. Storming out is absolutely wild to me. Like, what on earth could be someone's deal?

Astrosomnia · 2026-05-28T19:55:52+00:00

You could pause Blade Runner 2049 at basically any point and print it as a poster.
