Not to be confused with MILF Island which was a fake show on “30 Rock” that was intended to be so over-the-top trashy no could assume it was real.

The worst part is when you do see something that seems like a legit history show, towards the end it’s like “but what if it was aliens??”

Bamboozle me once, shame on you. Bamboozle me four or more times, shame on me.

I don’t remember that one.

Is it this one? If so, that was before my time which might explain it.

Most definitely not lol. It was just the worst semi-recent example I could think of. Is that show even still on?

Yeah. Swamp Loggers was okay (at least interesting and sort-of fit the theme of the channel) but the rest definitely were a jarring shift to lazy reality shows.

Deadliest Catch was pretty fantastic, but I don’t remember exactly when it came into the picture.

I’ve used MaryTTS semi-recently. It’s older but works well enough for my cases. I have it running on a server (locally) and my endpoints make a call to it and playback the returned audio file.

On Android, I use SherpaTTS which has good voices, but I’m not aware of a desktop/Linux option. It mentions using voices from Coqui which you linked, so I would guess that would be the way to go for desktop.

Mastodon, not my cup of tea (to be fair, neither was Twitter). I just don’t find micro-blogging to be very engaging and my mind categorizes it as “brain rot”.

Sharkey? Haven’t heard of that one until I just googled it, but one look at their mascot and…no. Just… no.

Have been looking at joining Piefed instance, though.

Also the way it links with Lemmy feels weird

And the culture is just different. I’m not sure how to describe it, but I’ll try. It’s like…imagine the threadiverse portion of the fediverse as a library or a meeting room where people are having a quiet discussion. Mastodon accounts feel like they’re barging in all loud and boorish like “HEYYYYY! LOOK AT ME!!! HASHTAG HASHTAG HASHTAG”

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about serving size chicanery.

• “Up to…” when used to describe things like internet speeds
• “Wholesome” when used to describe food. Not really a lie, per se, but “wholesome” has absolutely no meaning when it comes to nutrition and just sounds good
• “Zero calories” or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it’s less than 1 gram standard unit of measurement for that item (edited from grams).
• Any time you see “free” there’s always at least an implied asterisk

Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.

The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS’s media share to /media mostly for convenience since that’s the main purpose of this box in my workshop.

Basically ssh into the box in my workshop and mplayer my whole music folder on shuffle.

I thought that was the Mid-Atlantic Accent?

Best thing I did was train my dogs to sit before I’ll open the door. Youngest one (a Russell terrier mix) used to bolt out (thankfully the yard is fenced).

Probably also helps that we have a “going outside” routine too. They don’t wear their collars inside so before we go out, they have to sit while I put their collars on them.

My air fryer never leaves the counter, but it’s also a toaster oven and grill. I can easily cook for the two of us with that and haven’t baked anything in the big oven in months.

The grill plate works great but it’s a PITA to clean up after grilling something that splatters a lot, so I don’t use that much.

Haven’t had those in forever but you could probably pop them in the air fryer or even the toaster oven for half that time.

The last time I recall eating a Hot Pocket was in like 2014 during a week-long power outage. Was using a propane heater to not freeze to death and put the hot pockets over top of that on a wire rack. They came out surprisingly good 😆

Didn’t know that, but I rarely buy name brand these days.

The actual seasoning crumbs are still sealed in a bag (for now? lol). It just doesn’t come with the “shake” bags you pour that into in order to coat the food.

Honestly not sure. I’d have to splurge on the name brand to compare.
