I’m choosing to imagine he’s running a very very very slightly larger circle each time, getting closer and closer to his neighbours as he goes - instead of it being the precision of the sat nav (and the larger circles only being noticed over a matter of weeks)

There’s nothing more offensive to people like that than a woman who, y’know, is a person

The clouds parted just in time for us for totality as well! Talk about lucky, eh?

Absolutely heartbreaking…

So cool that it includes those stats! Were the other ones comparable in terms of brick count / weight / hours and whatnot?

That’s so sweet. The time we have with our loved ones really is a gift

Idc, I would drink all of these forbidden refreshments if presented like this

Why have I never thought of this? I use MSG everywhere I can and this never occurred to me - thank you!

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

Yep, loaning physical media with software isn’t a thing anymore for that exact reason. Any software or digital platform we offer (ancestry, language learning, ebooks, etc) we either have a ‘one copy one user’ licence which essentially functions like a physical copy, we’re directly paying for each time something is accessed, or we have a subscription specifically made for libraries. We can loan out things like Kindles loaded with ebooks that we’ve purchased, but there’s still a grey area with loaning out a tablet that has the major streaming services installed (with accounts paid for by the library), so we haven’t gone down that route yet

Yep, physical input devices all the way. I literally just upgraded my computer from an Aya neo (touch screen only), to a GPD Win 4 specifically to have more physical inputs. While the Win 4 is also a handheld gaming pc (that is even smaller than the Aya), it has a slide out keyboard and an optical mouse sensor, which has honestly made so much of a difference in being able to use the device. Even just simple things like scrolling through Steam has become easier, never mind situations that involve any sort of typing.

I still love my Aya though, things a tank.

Lmao thanks, yeah I like variety haha

I mean I like them, so I’m gonna say yes haha

Sorry you had a terrible sound engineer that night though :/

Thanks I’ll check it out!

I’m sure there’s more

It’s definitely survivorship bias and likely that the barrier for entry is a lot lower now, so only ‘better’ music would be made (ie record companies doing risk assessment and deciding what would be more likely to sell) / your average person can make music now relatively easily, which I suppose technically ‘dilutes’ the overall ‘quality’ of music today - take your pick

Ooo another Larkin Poe fan in the wild! Literally wearing one of their shirts right this minute

Photo looks like it was taken on a plane of the chair screens too. In flight memes

Wouldn’t even be mad

I mean people using libraries for the most part don’t really understand the decimal system and probably wouldn’t get the significance of it being in the 000s - especially the 000s where it’s sandwiched between computer science and knowledge structure & other general works. When I’m compelled to aquire a bs book in any category, simply because patron demand is high, I prefer it be in the same section as factual information so it may be drowned out a little more. (And I say aquire, instead of purchase, since those types of books I try to rent so they can be returned after it’s been taken out by those requesting it and it never makes its way into our full collection)

I do like the meme though! This format is pretty great and we do indeed need more librarian memes, I don’t mean to get all pedantic here haha
