@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

@paco

Adafruit has some hardware that acts as an amplifier, and they refer to a CircuitPython project

@paco Remembered the alarm, forgot the automation that turns on the bedroom lights.

@paco impressive!

@paco congrats, enjoy your achievement :D.

@paco I count 18. Glo-OH-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ree-uh.

@ClimateJenny Fair enough.

@paco I ordered something on the 14th. Shop app is still showing it just as ordered. I received it Monday.

@paco sadly, Amazon has done a fantastic job with the logistics of shipping, delivery (home? Work? Locker at the local retailer?), and notifications (“your package is 10 stops away!” “Your package was delivered 3 seconds ago and here’s a photo of it”). It’s actually kind of amazing. Too bad they’re also fascist oligarchs.

@paco Here is your #FediTree for the year 2025.

7 accounts were omitted due to #nobot tags or discoverability settings.

@paco it's almost as if Amazon is actually doing some things right?

@paco Marketing has no morals. Its all about the money.

@paco it's all about "practicing" at the end ;).

@civfanatics

For sure. If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking til you do succeed.

I think I legit found a bug in the PS5 game. I’m playing Blackbeard and I got to the exploration age and Settler was not a unit in my list. Can’t train, can’t buy, can’t even see it in the list as a unit that isn’t available. It’s literally not in the list. You can’t go far in the game if you can’t make settlers.

I took a bunch of screenshots and plan to post them on a forum later.

@paco I'm afraid you didn't check the pirate's special ability (pirates, not blackbeard):
"Settler Units cannot be trained or purchased, but you can capture other civilizations' Settlers" (the ability is longer)

@civfanatics Figures. I thought there might be something like that. Stuff that’s really unintuitive is usually me not understanding how it works. factories got me, too. They require an inventory space in the main inventory.

@paco i never even knew it was there. and if i did i wouldn't have known its purpose.

@paco very cool article, thanks for sharing

@Osito @paco I also had spent many years driving cars before I learned that the purpose of this arrow. And I didn't have my own car for a lot of that time, I would use rentals or rideshare cars, which makes it extra tragic I didn't know about the arrow

@paco There are only few slots left in automobile museums for combustion cars, where fuel-junkies can enjoy time travel into their youth.

@paco
Not only did I not know who invented this or what it’s called, I never noticed it at all—could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I did!
