Got a Stardew Valley shirt. I thought I would be slick and order the women's sizes for a more flattering fit and a brighter color. It's too short for me though. Now, if I was able to wear pants with a high waist or leggings, this would actually work fine, but I can't, because gender norms :bahgawd:

lol, I'm gonna exchange it. It took like 2 weeks for them to send out this one though. Oh well, should have measured it and me more thoroughly.

Wouldn't a Stardew Valley crop top be on-theme though?

gently caress, a shameful snipe. I already posted my cool thing!

Best bet for your first time is to find a willing partner and go halfsies if you don't have a quiverfull-size family. Then you can see how fast it goes down and if you can eat a full cow next year!

I feel like it was a good deal either way. My buddy out in Pittsburgh gets charged about $300 more for what we call a quarter (150-180lb) but they call it a half.

How much was the quarter? My quarter bison was a bit pricey at $1400, but bison is more expensive so.

We’ve got the Aldi Vitamix knockoff and I completely agree, a good blender is an absolute game changer especially for stuff like smoothies. It’s so stupid good I keep hoping for it to break so I have an excuse to buy the blendtec, but it keeps chooching.

For content, bought some spatter vinyl:

drat that’s a really good catch—the cover art was done by Mattias Adolfsson!

It’s Weezer’s new album, OK Human. A few shops restocked with the spatter so I snagged one since my pre-order was cancelled the first go around :)

Nice! The only reason I could pick it out is because he’s done most of the album art for Dance Gavin Dance over the years so it’s pretty stuck in my head.

Ordered these Audiotechnica M50xBts used from Amazon and played some cash back, so it was under 100 bux for me.

I EQ'd the quirks out of my computer's sound and it sounds pretty good. Also paired it with my fire stick and it actually can control the volume, so that's great for late night tv watching.

Tried to un-kink a decidedly not un-frozen hose the other week and wound up snapping a large puncture right in the center.

So, thought I’d go with a metal hose this year since they’re only 20$ now... figure at that price it’s basically disposable if it sucks.

The only thing I have to say about hoses is that If you spend $40 you can get a goodyear hose. I've had one outside in AZ sun for near a decade. Used the same one for extermination daily too. S tier hose imo.

A cheapo drip irrigation system to hopefully make it slightly easier to water my raised beds this summer:


And a new fuel line and filter for a small cultivator :


It was a free side-of-the-road dealie, and far as I can tell the only problem with it was a broken fuel line. Works fine if I spritz a little gas right into the cylinder or carb bowl, just couldn't get more fuel to run more than a couple seconds at a time. Fuel line was basically torn in half right at that black grommet so wasn't immediately apparent.

Once it's working, it will make tilling the beds and integration the compost into them easier.

Hope my vegetables and fruits appreciate all the work I do for them.

Thats the same memory I ordered for my current build except I got a 32gb kit, and I've never been able to run it over 2133mhz. XMP just results in a crash once I get to Windows if I get that far, same the odd time I've tried to manually set the values. Make sure the exact model number is on your boards QVL

Ha, yeah last year I also got into foraging during early lockdown and made dandelion and other floral jellies, picked fiddlehead ferns, and even a wild garlic mustard pesto.
