Listening to @neilhimself on No Such Thing as a Fish about why bagels originated from anti-Semitism in Poland. Also learnt that the word "lox", as in smoked salmon, is about 8,000 years old.
Playing a lot of RDR2 for the first time. The minigame "Five Finger Filet" annoys the hell outta me. So wrote an AutoHotKey script for it. It goes about 12 fillets(?) per round.
`#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
keys := ["s", "d", "a", "s", "a"]
SetKeyDelay, 0, 50
^a::
While !(GetKeyState("x", "P"))
{
for key, val in keys
{
Send {w down}
Sleep 50
Send {w up}
Sleep 100
Send {%val% down}
Sleep 50
Send {%val% up}
Sleep 100

(change the keys array every round).
A wise man once told me that technology isn’t about making simple things complicated. It’s about making complicated things simple.
The code for the prompt would probably be twice the size of the rest, and would take quite a bit more time than it would save. Sounds like you had the right idea in leaving it out. I can never keep myself to those obvious limits and it’s always such a waste automating for hours to save seconds lol
Since mastodon has no equivalent to lemmy’s communities, it can’t handle lemmy’s !community links.
Communities are represented as a regular user on the mastodon side, if you mention a user (using @) on mastodon, it will be parsed as a markdown link on lemmy: @[email protected]
Weer op weg naar huis, net buiten Ditzum, stoppen voor overstekende koeien. We werden met een bruin oogje in de gaten gehouden.😅
Twee minuten later en 10 meter verder moest de man weer in de remmen. Een overvliegende fazant! Die ik helaas niet op de foto heb. 🤷🏼♀️😊 #Ditzum#Daguitstapje

This is probably the wrong place to ask but can someone explain the funky mosaic looking court badges they wear during Una's trial in SNW? (Pretty sure I've seen them before somewhere too.)
I tried looking it up but only got Star Trek badges in my search results and it was pissing me off.
I just wanted to remind everyone that if you ever wished to play The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, but found it aged poorly, that a Unity engine conversion is freely available.
#OTD in 1845, 250 veterans of the Battle of Baltimore were honored in Washington DC on the battle’s

The Weekly National Intelligencer reported that, after marching from the railroad depot to the White
House to meet President James K. Polk, the “Old Defenders of Baltimore ... marched in admirable order
to the residence of the venerable Mrs. Madison, where they saluted that much-respected lady, as she
stood on her front steps, attended by the Mayor and several of her friends in the city.”

Dolley Madison,
by then 77 years old, had become an icon of an earlier time in American history.

I appreciate you sharing the deal, and I’ve been watching for a sale, but I am really glad I saw all that before I paid. This game is gonna stay waaaaay away from anything I touch.
10 years ago, teacher Twitter was extremely helpful to me. There's the #teaching hashtag here, which is nice, but are most people still on X? Or worse, Facebook?
Trying to build that side of my timeline back up. Boots appreciated along with recommendations of who to follow.
@brianb@NewScience101@edutooters Facebook has some amazing groups relevant to science, etc. they are more focused. Are you a #tcea member? We have free membership drive in October and that would give you access to TCEA Community which has over 80k educators via Mobilize.io community. Learn more at https://tcea.org
Anyone lucky enough to be in NYC on Oct 17, 2023 might consider attending this fascinating lecture.
Neil Gaiman @neilhimself is a wonderful speaker, and basically a world expert on Norse mythology.
Maria Dahvana Headley's new translation/rewriting of Beowolf is like seeing it in a whole new light. The depth of meaning and beauty of her word choice made me shake my head in wonder more than a few times.
Online post by Neil Gaiman @neilhimself.n.. October 17th in NYC. It will be fun and educational and you will learn a lot about Norse Mythology and the Iliad and suchlike. Do come.
