I think of Grenda from Gravity Falls. But she’s still a girl, in the process of figuring out how to be as confident in herself as Alice.

Spirited debates in bars probably end in fist fights 🙃

NYC Transit Museum! It’s a sleeper but it’s very cool. If you can still get the tickets, the NYC Tenement Museum, which is in an actual tenement from like a hundred years ago.

Find someone who does in person cooking classes for something you’d like to make, and learn it together.

Friday nights my friend hosts this thing at her place Artsclub which I’ve done a few times and it’s fun. I always meet interesting people there, learn about some art history, and I’ve gotten some art that’s good enough that it’s hanging in my apartment lol. Unfortunately the next event is in September. https://www.artsclubstudios.com/east-village-events

New York native fella here. Three days is a short trip, and it’s a very big city. There are plenty of guides out there for the big stuff - pick the things you want from there. If you have some niche interests share them, and maybe some Lemmy people will have ideas.

Yep noticed this today. Likely a way to get people to create accounts. And try to combat scraping.

You can calculate how long a pencil can stand on its tip before falling using quantum physics.

Basically a version of this was on our freshman accelerated physics final, and no one got it right so our professor happily explained it to us the next day.

It was pretty much the same as is described here.

I know. Biggest city in the country but we barely connect with each other on Lemmy. Anywhere in particular other than [email protected] ?

If the people of Scotland, of all places, have a problem with you, you should reevaluate your life choices.

Of course he won’t though.

Yep what they actually meant was, “Nothing is less than a pound 😉”

Little did he know, the drugs were inside him all along ❤️

Also many of them have extremely likely answers.

Actual Jesus would be in CECOT by now.

Some places (like part of Long Island, naturally) have made it illegal to wear a face mask.

Hope it helps. There are whole categories of self hosted software I hadn’t thought of before. Maybe I should try some of them! 😁

The last week or so:

Don’t Tell Your Wife About This Game

Depends on how prescriptive you want it to be. Plenty of free form types where you can log all your stuff.

If you’re looking for a program, for strength training I recommend Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength. They made an app for it now, too. It’s a one-time purchase, includes an interactive copy of the book, and is ad-free. I’m a fan.

Gas stove. Literally playing with fire every time I need to light the front left burner. Usually I have to let enough gas come out to have the neighboring burner’s igniter light it up. I keep my distance just in case.

Can’t let people know they were actually almost as powerful as the current overpriced silicon.

They have to look good to advertisers. And the megacorps of the world need to be sure their brands are not associated with anything “controversial” so they can appeal to as many Americans as possible.
