There’s just too much… between work, home life details, and trying to pay attention to the state of the world on 20 different fronts, I just don’t feel like I have the bandwidth to be like “gee, I’m going to pick up a new skill today!” I need that downtime to veg on the couch and look at memes, it’s way less exhausting.
5·11 months agoThat’s a really interesting idea; my kid wants to be a pilot and just discovered flight tracker… I’m going to check out Airspy’s “how to” stuff and see about this as a gift idea too!
2·11 months agoYeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!
Not sure if this is what you’re describing, but phones like the one you pictured have a reversible tab for use if you mount the phone to a wall - if the tab is sticking up, it keeps the receiver from falling off the cradle.
Here’s a site selling them, but it has a diagram showing where it’s located:

ALWAYS just another 20 years…
My only hope is that the first time I stepped over the line when using my powers, I’d feel so bad about it afterwards that it would prevent me from doing it again… mostly.
Get yourself a speed loom for $20 and some thread or embroidery floss, and you can darn socks! This was my pandemic “learn a new skill”, and now the whole family brings me socks with holes, to fix.
And the “best” part is that cheap socks wear out around the patch, so then you get to / have to darn them again!

Oh fair, I didn’t think about that… I’d just always heard that the first was Shatner and Nichols, but you could be right
It’s so true… that lady was such a boss.
Theodore Sturgeon, Harlan Ellison, Jerome Bixby, and some other sci-fi authors all contributed to the first couple of seasons… TV’s first interracial kiss between Kirk and Urura… a third thing… We’d have missed out on a lot of good stuff if “Lucy” hadn’t insisted on producing the show!
1·1 year agoI’ve run it on an iPhone 5 or 6, I don’t recall… had it watching my living room for a month while I was away, and aside from a few false positives when light patterns changed due to the wind blowing tree branches around, it was excellent.
Ham and eggs are so savory, I think I’d want something a little sweet. But it’d have to be a breakfast classic to match such an iconic pair, so I’d go with a bowl of cornflakes with sugar!
6·1 year agoHeyyy, congrats!!
171·1 year agoStamets, these Car Talk with Martok memes are the bee’s knees - it’s been a tough week and these have really been cheering me up. Thanks so much!
That’s a funny way to say “Trump campaign manipulates emotions of grieving parents”
