…and then my father says, “It’s the right goat, but it’s the wrong end!““ — Hunwald

Sizeof.cat hosted this weekend The Quake 2 Thunderdome!, where a group of dorks gathered into a nice death match of Quake 2. Of course, I got splattered over and over, but it was pretty fun, although Quake 2 is not on the top of my shooters list, this being the first time I play it for more than 10 minutes, as the match descended into mayhem, with over 20 people concurrent players!

!!! NEVER PASTE IN THE BROWSER’S CONSOLE CODE THAT YOU DON’T READ OR DON’T UNDERSTAND !!! Go to your subscriptions page, scroll to the end of the page, so it loads everything, open the Inspector, go to the Console tab and paste the code below. It should load for a while, then download a file called youtube_subs.opml PS: I don’t remember where I stole the code from, but it works, and that’s what matters.

The older devices get, the harder is to find original parts. While with old hardware, it’s not a problem, devices that are fairly newer have all kinds of checks and throttles made “for the user’s protection”. Nah, it’s so that Apple can charge you 300 smackaroos for a battery worth 60. I changed the battery on my second Late 2013 15" Retina MacBook Pro, and of course, it started to have issues.

For a while I’ve been wanting to reuse the imagemap shortcode I implemented a couple of years ago, in the MacBook Stickers article, so I decided to rip open a 90 grams bag of M&Ms (that’s almost 3 ounces for those who don’t speak metric), and separate them by colour and count them.

Caliber: 2609.HA (19 jewels) Model: 613335 Year: 1970s Notes: Petrodvorets Watch Factory This watch is very dear to me, because it is identical to the one my grandmother used to wear. I recall how she used to wind it up every morning when she put it on, and holding it now in my hand is another testimony that things seem way bigger when you’re a kid, as it now looks so small.

Nobody knows what The Number means, it just keeps going up. Some say it’s counting clicks, some say it’s counting souls. All we know is, every time you press the button, the number changes.

Sophia is hosting this month’s IndieWeb carnival, and the theme is “Second Person Birds.”. Thank you, Sophia, for hosting! Also check her main blog, at Fractal Kitty! So, what is love? I tried answering before, but I didn’t get too far on that road. Love is when you become a bird. In error, people think it’s when your stomach feels like you have pebbles inside and your heart is small and ticks very very fast.

The thing with mutts is that you never know everything for sure. You don’t know their genetic ancestry, their personality, nor their day of birth and everything about them is up to entropy. The mutt meeting you is also usually the result of a very complex and apparent random process, that has it’s finality into starting another process, the one where the mutt and you spend parts of their lives together.

Mixes are different from playlists in Youtube, with the main difference that they’re tailor-made for every user and will be different for each visitor, based on their previous watch history. This means that Youtube downloading tools can’t process mixes the same way that it does playlists, so the command will fail. The best way is to read the list of videos in the list available on the side and save it to a text file, which will then be passed as parameter to youtube-dl or yt-dlp.
