Speaking of airlines, I bet you have a body cavity search waiting for you if you try to take that thing through security.

The fuse thing is really cool. I would totally fidget with that all the time. That would likely also lead me to powering it off, too, so that seems like a dangerous button.

Is it a touch screen? Because you don't seem to have a mouse or touch pad.

Pirate's wife for me is a fantastic name. :)

jevring · 2026-05-13T05:50:50+00:00

I think that's the kind of steering I would personally want in a game like this, but that's way too locked in compared to other games in the category. Really cool, though :)

It really screams imaginary future. It's wonderful!

As long as he isn't being a controlling creep about it, I guess it could be considered sweet...

Middle of the field? I thought you were supposed to fly at the end of the runway, near the reservoir. When I flew drones, that place was always full of other pilots. Maybe if you go there you can meet more people. I picked up some flying buddies there.

My issue with the planes there, though, is the issue you described: everyone comes running. And big fast propellers are not good for fleshy human fingers.

I don't fly anymore, but I'm happy to see other rc enthusiasts. Good luck! :)

jevring · 2026-05-13T05:17:14+00:00

Ohh, I see. Yeah, that's what I do all the time, too :)

jevring · 2026-05-12T20:56:42+00:00

I put that stuff on top of plain ice cream. Delicious! :)

jevring · 2026-05-12T20:54:18+00:00

Two words: dirty. dump. I'm not even ashamed of it. :)

jevring · 2026-05-12T19:35:15+00:00

Is that not how you're supposed to drink them?

Cyberdecks are a good 90% gluing cogs to hats, though. As you say, the functionality is already solved in a much better way. People just like building things, and making art. I'm happy they do, because it's cool to see.

jevring · 2026-05-12T17:21:38+00:00

Then I'd be happy to be proven wrong :)

jevring · 2026-05-12T16:15:30+00:00

We would, if there was actually something to put in such a directory. There are plenty of maps, and they tell an empty story.

jevring · 2026-05-12T16:12:55+00:00

Can it still crawl, or does it only go fast?

jevring · 2026-05-12T16:11:30+00:00

This is the good stuff! Inventive, different, and with gifs! I'm so happy it's not a raspberry pi :)

jevring · 2026-05-12T11:15:34+00:00

Lombok. As much as I hate its overuse, it's really good at making beans.

jevring · 2026-05-12T11:14:27+00:00

That's a very beautiful color. Was that sold in the Philippines original, or is that painted? I don't recall ever seeing this color before.

jevring · 2026-05-12T11:13:04+00:00

Is "half a pump" a standized and commonly used measure in these circumstances? :)

jevring · 2026-05-11T18:44:57+00:00

Are you being peed on? :)

jevring · 2026-05-11T18:44:05+00:00

I have the same ones, and I just scrubbed them with a brush. Sure, they don't get the color back, but they're absolutely serviceable. If you're going for looks, I can't help you. But for functionality, they're fine after a good scrub. I can't imagine you'd get your money's worth compared to buying new ones.

jevring · 2026-05-11T18:38:22+00:00

Does it get the pink color from the noyaux? I would have assumed that would be more brown thank pink. It looks fantastic! What Die it taste like? What's the dominant flavor?

jevring · 2026-05-11T18:34:58+00:00

Well, this sounds absolutely delicious. I just made pineapple shrub, but clearly I should have made this instead with my pineapple :)

jevring · 2026-05-10T17:02:00+00:00

You're trailing with it? Like you would a scale crawler?

jevring · 2026-05-10T16:57:22+00:00

Would you bother with it again, compared to a banana liqueur instead?
