I had a marble run at about 6. It was awesome.

smh@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia71·10 days agoI’ve been enjoying Kagi. You pay a monthly fee (there’s a free trial) and get good search results. You can even tailor the results to prioritize or deprioritize various sites. For example, I told it to never show me anything from Pinterest.
Seconding that there is nothing in the dots. It’s just yellow and green dots.

I learned about an expensive headset brand today. Their website was fun, their product is exactly what I want, and they have a 5-year warranty. The headsets come with spare ear pads. Never heard about them before today. I somehow trust they’re worth the price.
(Still ended up just buying new foam pads for my current $30 headset, but I was tempted.)

It was a no-stress transaction and the receiver was a sweet old-school computer person building a basic machine for his kids to play Minecraft. Would do again.

Yep. It makes me feel helpless and I hate it.
Side story:
I had the sweetest young store clerk at the grocery checkout. We’d already chitchatted about something, so it wasn’t awkward when he shyly asked if I was sick, if that was why I masked.
I told him “no, I’m fine, but my roommate’s immune system is weak AF. Oh, and my dad died of COVID and I’m still a bit sore there.” and he got big eyes and gave his condolences.
I’d guess he was 14 when my dad died (Jan 2021), when a lot of people’s dads died. That’s a quarter of a lifetime ago for him. It’s been an age. /feeling old and nostalgic

Back in 2020 I’d wear my p99 respirator and goggles at the grocery store, then a full strip into the washer and shower as soon as I came home.
Now I’m more relaxed: n95 or kn94 plus standard prescription glasses, washing hands up to the elbow (makes me feel like I’m on MASH). I still strip as soon as I get home, but not because of COVID.
I’ve gotten relaxed at work over the summer because there were minimal people in the library. I’m going to go back to full masking outside my office now that the students are back, especially since I don’t have a new flu or COVID vaccine available to me.
At about that age, I enjoyed putting together dominos runs and knocking them down. I also liked wooden building blocks. Nowadays they have building made out of dense foam which probably hurt less when your baby brother knocks your tower onto your head.
