  • Finally got around to watching Mars Express (2023). I think the trailer makes it seem more action packed than it was, but it still had some action and was certainly entertaining. I’m not fully sure how I feel about it yet but I’m definitely going to rewatch it again in the future. It draws out similar feelings to when I watched Pantheon (2022).

    I also recently finished Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (2024) and started Drifting Dragons (2020). I enjoyed Kite Man (spinoff show from Harley Quinn (2019), so if you like that you’ll probably like this too). I’m only a few episodes into Drifting Dragons and while I plan on finishing it, it’s not as up my alley as I had hoped.






  • For anyone wondering why a new law would target reusable bags as well, the phrasing of the old law basically encouraged stores to replace single use plastic bags with reusable plastic bags. Reusable bags use more plastic so they’re sturdier and last longer, but they were treated as single use bags anyways so functionally we were just producing and subsequently wasting more plastic.

    I haven’t read this new law but hopefully it encourages or requires actually using paper bags or cardboard boxes or something if you don’t have your own reusable bag. It would be a shame if it just kicks the can down the road again and people buy reusable bags in the checkout aisle that they throw away when they get home instead of keeping in the car.





  • The worst is when it either won’t tell you what the character limit is so you have to just keep lowering it and retrying until it finally works, or when the infrastructure for signing up has a different character limit than the infrastructure for logging in, so you can sign up with a long password but can’t actually sign in with it. I once encountered a website that had this issue for both the password AND username so I had to change my password and then contact support to change my username. Absurd.


  • I don’t wear mine often, but I find that somehow the corners always get smudges on them no matter how careful I am to not touch the lenses. Keep a microfiber cloth around to clean them.

    I use EyeBuyDirect for my glasses and don’t have any complaints. They come in a box with a microfiber bundle to carry them glasses in and wipe them off with. Obviously since it’s online you’ll have to be careful about getting a pair that fits correctly, but if you get a temporary or cheap pair in real life that you know the measurements of you can find a pair with similar stats.


  • If you use the public instance you don’t need to set up or host or install anything. You can selfhost it if you want, but the public instance works just fine.

    One person goes to the web page and starts a room. The other can join the same room by knowing the name of the room. (It will generate a link when you create a room to make it easy to send to someone so they can join by just clicking the link.)
