It was really strange. Thankfully things were slightly better by the 90s when the central division was added, but that still had weird groupings like Houston/Pittsburgh (or Miami/Montreal).

fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?6·9 days agoFred Rogers (of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood). For my generation, he helped to shape our views on kindness and compassion for humankind. He fought for public access funding in the United States. He helped break color barriers on television. He helped us enjoy jazz.
I have not encountered another media personality who was so genuinely invested in making sure that kids had the tools they needed to deal with the emotional parts of existence. I’m tearing up again thinking about how much he did for us.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Art Share🎨@lemmy.world•color pencil recommendations?English3·19 days agoWhile I do love prismacolor (mentioned in the other reply), if you’re looking to save a little bit of money, I enjoy Derwent Coloursoft. They are wax based, so they do have limits on layering; however they go down easy and blend well up until that point.
(To avoid amazon, I’d order from dick blick or another art supply store)
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•How many of you would watch this?10·23 days agoYou just described the vibe of Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”…
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Conventions contain lots of Blahajs and UwU's7·27 days agoOff the top of my head, vi came out in the late 70s (though it might have been a little while later before you could start editing directly through vi)
I’m hoping this is partly a Porno for Pyros reference.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Ask@lemm.ee•What's a basic skill your shocked more adults don't know?English12·1 month agoSame for apps and sites. Having to explain to someone multiple times that I’m not trying to force their users to be bilingual just because there is “lorem ipsum” text on the page is rough.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto World News@lemmy.world•Toothpaste widely contaminated with lead and other metals, US research findsEnglish5·2 months agoFor me, the crazy takeaway of the article was just how high the acceptable level of lead is for toothpaste (the current FDA limit is 20,000ppb for fluoridated toothpaste).
Seminal fluid.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto World News@lemmy.world•Video game workers in North America now have an industry-wide unionEnglish3·3 months agoIf you’re in a union already, that is not something that can generally be asked about by management, both at hiring or during your employment. Being in a union is not the same as being in a unionized workplace.
When employees of a store/factory/etc decide to unionize, there’s a point at which a specific larger union can be chosen to represent them (AFL-CIO, IBEW, Teamsters, etc). If successful, this is what allows for collective bargaining led by a union representative.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Yucky Banana | Litterbox 2025-03-110·3 months agoI did not. It was strongly tied in my childhood brain to the BRATT diet (recovering from nausea and vomiting).

fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Technology@lemmy.world•Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the siteEnglish9·4 months agoIt is sad that this guy just can’t let go.
Honestly though, if he can preemptively put sufficient funds into escrow dedicated to managing all aspects of the site and engineering plans for digging with minimal perturbation of each waste cell, then let him have it*.
(* Escrow amount should be approximately $780m)
Oh man, that sounds like you’re referring to the one in Missouri. I riled up a number of folks that way.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Games@lemmy.world•Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions?English1·5 months agoOh man, I love Noita so much, but it can be so difficult at times.
fakeaustinfloyd@ttrpg.networkto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•If this was all before you were born you just can't realize the how great the newest technology is1·5 months agoTo be fair, GPS apps have some limitations that can cause this at times. I’d love it if an early voice alert could tell me if an exit is on the left or right side of the highway or how the exit split is organized way in advance of it happening.
Yup. No matter how hard the PC tries, just pan over to the fireplace and fade to black: https://youtu.be/v7eJEsf11WM (had to include the obligatory Top Secret! clip)
And many of the elves preferred the cover of dense forests, caves, or both.
