I can’t speak for base/mid layers, but I wear merino wool socks at work (danish endurance, not 100% but a blend), in steel toe boots, and they last quite a while. Haven’t had any holes or even wearing thin, and I’m notoriously hard on socks and footwear.

It’s showing me $28.74 to remove ads in Canada right now (maybe more than the 26.25 mentioned due to tax % difference)

On my current instance since Jun 4, I can’t even remember if I had joined a different one before that or not. Beginning of June at least. Basically abandoned R* at that point.

I might have almost destroyed a monitor with bad XFree86 timings on Slackware once or twice. Pulled the plug on that thing pretty fast.

I’m pretty sure I used one that was terminal based, likely using ncurses. Without searching, I can’t recall the name of it, though.

I used XMPP a bit among friends, more so when Google supported it, which was probably after ICQ/AIM/MSN wasn’t as popular? I don’t really talk to many people anymore, so whatever, heheh :)

It would be nice to see XMPP make some kind of “comeback” … or some sort of popularity boost like mastodon/lemmy/etc in recent times.

I gave it a try with my other Star Trek fan friends when it first came out, never played much though. I still have my cards around here somewhere!

As long as the ads aren’t too crazy (I haven’t really watched much on Pluto). Sounds cool to be able to just throw on a random episode without having to decide which one. I often enjoy having one playing in the background while doing other things.

I don’t see it on Pluto Canada, though. Oh well.

I drop by /. once or twice a year… definitely not the same as it used to be. Even remember when they added accounts, I ended up with a sub-400 uid even though it felt like I took a while to bother.

Kinda funny they stil have aim/icq fields on your user info page…

Destiny 2 was one I wanted to mess around with a little recently, since the game itself was interesting enough to me. Got bored probably nowhere close to the end of the long and boring tutorial section. There are others that I can’t recall the name of, too. Obviously not memorable enough.

I think modern games in general hold your hand too much. Some small level of hand holding/tutorial is fine, but so many take it way too far. I’ve gotten bored of a lot of games before they actually started because of that.
