    I replaced a toilet seat in our house and the new one is really nice ( at least compared to the old one ).

      Curious what makes for a nice toilet seat? Mine is crying out for replacement and I have no idea what to look for

        In my case it isn’t broken. It is firmly attached to the toilet. It has a slow closing lid. Lastly, for the first time I tried a wooden, instead of plastic, core. The seat doesn’t feel as cold, and just feels solid. It is the little things. The last seat lasted at least 10 years, so the difference in price between the cheap one at $26 and the premium one at $35 wasn’t really a factor.

    I went snorkeling in Hawaii last week and got to see the cool fish and turtles! So that was fun.

    It’s all about the small things. My picky eating nephew devouring the Sunday rump in tomato sauce, finding money on the street (okay, it was the equivalent of a single Euro cent, but still! I found money~), reworking my bot for some freemium game (and learning how to handle bash arrays in the process)…

      Which freemium game? I remember running a mining bot on an online pokemon pay-to-win game

        It’s one of those NSFW Nutaku games. I started playing it in a whim, as I was bored and my old computer was having a hard time running actual games. Nowadays I play it mostly to improve the bot that I made for it.

          that’s awesome. fuck grinding in games like that, I bet programming a bot is more fun.

            I bet programming a bot is more fun.

            It is! Without the bot I would’ve ditched the game years ago. And while the bot itself is for something that I don’t care about, coding it forced me to learn stuff that turned out useful elsewhere, like:

            • a generic autoclicker that works with everything. Ctrl+PrtSc and it starts, Scroll Lock and it ends. No fuss, it’s just xdotool looping.
            • learning case allowed me to create a script that extract most compressed files, regardless of extension. I hate using the GUI for this sort of menial work, but I never remember the actual commands to decompress files.
            • The same while loop that detects if my bot should stop ended in another script, that detects if the internet is back.

            I’m still no programmer, mind you, but for someone who was simply using Linux instead of learning it for 2 decades, it was a huge step up.

    I finally got around to getting GTA V! I’ve been totally hooked on it 😂

    Also got some shea butter for my skin! The air has been drying lately, and it’s really satisfying to feel my skin getting more hydrated!
