Gifski for the gifs and Topaz AI for the upscaling. I am on a Mac.

Autism is spiking in young adults, study finds in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

And then there’s some of us who just didn’t figure this stuff out on our own at all and somehow “got by.” It has sure made a whole lot of my life pretty fucking miserable though. And finally got diagnosed when I was 45 years old. And now I can access abilities and skills that have been completely walled off for me before by a fog. In my case, it’s ADHD, although I highly suspect I am somewhat autistic as well.

Maybe he should run again and just go balls to the wall crazy, everything out there, because I guess that’s what’s OK now?

I think most grammar and vocabulary tend to boil down to tradition

I did this one a few months back with a kitchen faucet! Great learning experience. I even learned that German faucets, at least, don’t affix to the counter the same way as American brands.

I learned how to make my own GIFs.

I also learned how to upscale video, but I’m not very good at it yet.

Maybe we should have the government run the prisons and provide the healthcare there.

Please stope writing and go away. Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad. The rest of us are willing to sacrifice a limb to save the patient. None of us enjoy it or are glad to have to make that choice, but WE HAVE TO SAVE THE PATIENT YOU JACKBOOTED DIMWIT.

I have concluded that there is a serious dearth of Aliens GIFs available on the internet, and so I have chosen to right this egregious wrong. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Here is my very first, completely custom effort

Looks like I might be retiring my 2007 Tundra EDIT: $7K for all needed repairs on the Tundra. Under 100k miles. Not all repairs must be done immediately, but all probably within a year.

I’m just starting the search. I want used, probably certified, good fuel economy, all weather handling ability, and decent cargo space. I like a lot of room in the cabin (I’ve been using Suburu station wagons recently, and they are very cramped). I also will not tolerate digital surveillance, or subscription-only access to physically installed hardware. And I too, come from the Tom Paris school of wanting physical buttons dials and switches for everything (the displays in the suburus are blinding at night, even the speedometer! (and I do NOT need to know my fuel economy from second to second, Suburu - How could you possibly thing flashing that in my face with a bright light is useful in any way?!)))

Hola, Mateys. I am looking for a piece of classical music that is unavailable for streaming (sh.itjust.works)
 

I haven't really looked for obscure music before, and I'm not having any luck with my usual tv/movie/software sources. It's "Scherzo No.1 in A Major from III trietti methodichie IlI sche... Jean-Pierre Rampal" (that's what I could get out of Shazam. Obviously it's cut off a bit)

Does anyone know of a way to convince MacOS 15 to allow one to have "Natural Scrolling" set for their Magic Trackpad, but "Normal" scrolling set for your mouse wheel? (sh.itjust.works)

It looks like you can configure them separately, but whatever you do to one, is automatically and simultaneously done to the other. I can't figure out a way around this. I should mention this is for a Mac mini, so it's the Standalone Magic Trackpad.

What is the food eaten in Close Encounters during the infamous mashed potato scene? (fedia.io)
 

cross-posted from: https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/1322982

My kids haven't seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind yet and I thought it would be a fun surprise to recreate the meal eaten in the mashed potato scene and watch the movie with the movie dinner. (I can't wait to see if they put two and two together when that scene comes up lol.)

Obviously there's mashed potato. And I can see sweet corn. Kids are drinking milk. But I can't tell what the little meat things are. I assumed they were crumbed rissoles but having not been raised or lived in the US, I'm unsure if I'm missing a common protein that was eaten at dinner around the late 1970s. Meatloaf has also been suggested but in my country we never have mini meatloaves that I've seen so I'm unsure how accurate that is.

I also can't tell what is in the bowls beside Roy and his sons - to the top left of Roy's plate, right hand side of Toby and top right of Brad's plate. Maybe Ronnie and Silvia have one of these bowls too but I can't tell. You can see Brad eat out of his bowl at one point and it looks like something pale (I wondered coleslaw or macaroni).

Anyway, anyone know or have an idea of what the little meat things are and what are in the side bowls?
