Haha (b/j)eans
  • So... Are the memes all going to be -eans based? Do I need to start collecting some pictures of various deans for the next wave?

  • What's the equivalent now?
  • For me it would be a new external hard drive for all my data hoarding

  • Net Ratings by Quarter
  • Pacers and Bucks being the only two who improve quarter by quarter is interesting. Not sure if it signals much but I would have thought there would be more than two teams who happen to be like that

  • Team offensive and defensive ratings (Dec 1, '23)
  • Pacers testing to see how far you can go with only offensive players

  • Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them
  • Condensation on milk barcodes causes scanning issues I've found

  • What are some holiday-related frugal tips and tricks you have?
  • I save the butcher paper that comes in a lot of the packages I order, and use that + twine to wrap things. It can look cute and old school and saves a bunch on buying wrapping paper (I also try and buy that on massive clearance after Christmas, and if I can get more generic or even just winter themed paper I'll angle for that to use for birthday gifts later in the year)

  • How do you feel about meal replacement options?
  • The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They're pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it's way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)

  • 🚨Beal to Make Suns Debut
  • The suns seem like they could desperately use him. I'll be curious to see how it works out

  • Design Lead
  • God... I can imagine a class about how to teach employees called "How to How To"

  • Honestly what's been impressive so far is the continued improvement of Sochan and Vassell. But Wemby is still incredible

  • Game Threads
  • I really like the single thread for all the games.

  • I don't know that I'll be up late enough eastern time to watch, but I might have to hit this game up on league pass, as I want to see how the new Blazers team is gelling

  • I cannot wait to really watch some Wemby. This will be a fun one.

  • God, the Pacers look so happy running out there. The Wizards don't seem like they're trying, so it's hard to judge how good they are, but the vibes seem immaculate

  • Content
  • Come comment on sports stuff! We don't have enough of that, the threads are pretty empty

  • Over/Under: what teams do you see going over or under their last season?
  • My expertise is the Pacers, and I would take the over. Wizards had 35 wins last year, and I think the pacers team as constructed is better than that wizards team, and will be actually trying this year. I would put them in the 38-39 win range, so it's a soft over, but I think they'll hit it.

  • Disney Mocked for Ludicrously Fake CGI "Actors" in Crowd Scene
  • I can hear the executive after they got the crowd shot and somebody noted the stands looked pretty empty: "Just have the AI fill it in"

  • Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
  • I feel the same. I listen to mostly folk and like synth pop music, but I love basically everything from Aesop

  • Don't dead, open inside - poorly aligned words and letters.
  • Subscribed! I rarely have many of these to post, but will share when I see some

  • Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?

    Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.
