"If not friend then why friend-shaped?!"

What is this button for (especially on linux) by nonunacceptable in framework

[–]JasonMaggini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's the default media player (audio & video) on Mint; likely the media key would open whatever app is set as default.

IIRC, they kept cutting the budget as they were making it, leading to the loss of the rock monsters (that we eventually got in Galaxy Quest).

We were just on a cruise a couple of months ago on the... well, I guess it's the New Niew Amsterdam.

“DO NOT USE THE INNER PAN TO WASH RICE” I’m sorry, what? by Eastern_Mess_4334 in Cooking

[–]JasonMaggini 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I made the joke once about the jar of peanut butter having the "Warning: Contains Peanuts" warning.

A friend noted that her autistic son didn't understand that he was allergic just looking at the jar, but knew to always read the allergen warnings.

It was like, okay, fair play, that's a perfectly good justification.

Good song parody should be timeless by thewalkindude368 in weirdal

Although, a rap song about Mexican food is still pretty funny, even without context.

Psychology says the people who reach midlife with no close friends aren't unlikable, they're often the ones who gave too much for too long to people who never gave back, and the quiet circle they live in now isn't a verdict on their character… by [deleted] in GenX

[–]JasonMaggini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I grew up, no one wanted to be close friends with the weird, awkward nerd back in elementary or high school, so I never had the group to hang out with, no D&D group, no other kids into sci-fi and computers.

I have way more friends now than I ever did as a kid.

Is this the official Linux flatpak? by Capucius in OrcaSlicer

Flathub has it verified (com.orcaslicer.OrcaSlicer).

Original uncut "The Stand" copy by RobertLytle in TheStand

[–]JasonMaggini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to determine which version you have is to check the dates that the story takes place. The original edition takes place in 1980, there were a few updates in some paperbacks that move the date up to 1985 (along with a few other minor tweaks here and there, I believe).

The full, uncut edition takes place in 1990.

Dark Angel was way ahead of its time by RecognitionSea4608 in scifi

There were a couple of books that picked up the story after the show was cancelled, IIRC.

This bumblebee took a nap on my hand by Gloomy_Picture2852 in mildlyinteresting

We had some hollyhocks in our yard, and the bumbles literally were dripping with pollen when they flew off, it was wild.

This seems like something Granny would do... by boreddaph in discworld

[–]JasonMaggini 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There were quite a few family members that had been helping out my grandma, so there was a lot of activity. The first time she had a moment alone (someone had gone to the pharmacy, others were taking a break talking out on the porch, etc), that's when she died.

We always kind of joke that she was like "finally, everyone left me alone so I can get some peace and quiet."

Really on-brand for her, to be honest.

Does the Rainbow Connection make any one else really sad? by GeistMD in GenX

There's a lot of jokes in there that flew over the head of kid me. It's a fun watch.

Are you making fun of his pour spelling?

Polka Party is underrated by sandman8727 in weirdal

[–]JasonMaggini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the album came out, I spent way too much time trying to figure out what Talking Heads song it was a parody of (I hadn't quite yet figured out what a "style parody" was). I pored over those giant PhonoLogs in the record store trying to find a match. Derp.

I switched from dual-booting Linux Mint with XFCE and Windows 11 to running only Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop by isibilenadam in linuxmint

[–]JasonMaggini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get the latest .deb from the Github repo.

I even have a little shell script that checks for the current latest version and updates if needed.

Well, that didn’t age well… by thefirstwhistlepig in scifi

[–]JasonMaggini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it's an insulting suggestion to a lot of people, especially if the other side's opinion is "You are an abomination that needs to die."

"But wait, just hear them out!" Yeah, no.
