A bit odd, I see

No no no no, I think you got that wrong. Chickens are spherical, cows on the other hand are cuboid. And humans are cylindrical.

That's when I switch to cold brew or generally drink my tea iced. With milk I've only had iced chai latte so far though. Well, I'm gonna try it with Assam today.

But is it better to
Slow Dance
rather than
Break Dance?

I enjoy that movie less and less, not because it's a bad movie, but quite the opposite.

Fuck, i finally should read it, The Martian was amazing, and The Egg is a classic.

I wonder how cold space would actually feel, given there is not much matter to transfer the body heat to. Here's a stack exchange thread where people try to calculate how long it would take to cool down.

My Steam profile, including the inventory with some Gift Games, is public.

I get a few friend requests now and then from profiles that have that exact text (or very similar) as their profile info:

Hey, it's my alt account and I added you since saw you got some steam gifts I am interested in, I can offer you some games or other value items such as tf2 keys, so if you can add me to discuss, I would appreciate it, thanks, I am ready to go first, and can add you from my main account if we trade

Sometimes even with

I avoid posting comments because of the risk of getting flagged by the system as a scammer.

So why do these people/bots want the gift games? Are they trying to scam me, are they trying to scam others with the games? Or do they want to optain the games so they can sell them on their own 3rd party site for a profit?

Has anyone gone through with such a "trade", I'm tempted to try it with a cheap game that I don't need, just to find out how the scam works...

Edit: All gifts except for one are still available in the Steam store. The only one that is not, is a DLC, a song for Rocksmith. I doubt that this is the only reason, especially since most request have the same copypasta in the profile info.

Yes, I "blame" Tolkien for my pipe smoking...

... all I could do is sing Dragostea Din Tei. The lyrics are the only Romanian I know and barely can pronounce. At least I might go down in a rave xD

 

Are there any recommended best practices?

I'm doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅

Some loose thoughts:

  • I don't really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
  • Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use "portable" instead for those

Not really a meme, but I think it might also be interesting for others in this community. Mods feel free to remove if that's not ok.
