  • What’s you obscure low key achievement this year?

    Jump

  • I did not. The puppy had a home already.

  • English as a second language learners: what words were really hard for you to pronounce?

    Jump

  • Most loan-words are hard for ESL learners, they retain the original language pronunciation and break many phonetic rules of English pronunciation.

  • The pup was initially fully stuck, head first in the horizontal pipe at bottom. Coaxed it to turn around head-up, with some gentle words and tapping the top of the pipe.

    It would not bite onto a strap covered in wet catfood. One person with the skinniest arms reached down and grabbed him out.

    We had a pole-and-loop snare en route but didn't use it.

    Good result.

  • It was a bit tense on arrival, but had a happy ending. This was a week ago.

  • General-purpose recipe-sharing community

    Jump

  • Foodista.com has many recipes under a Creative Commons licence, and has a 'Add a recipe' button.

    Been my recipe goto for years, but I've never added one before.

  • Rescued a whimpering puppy from a metre depth, straight down in a narrow drainpipe.

    When we got the callout for an animal rescue, I had forgot that the cat-in-a-tree type incidents are stereotypical for firefighters.

    Was a unique achievement for me.

  • Is there a good place to share modern Xmas songs across the Fediverse? (I'll lead off with a couple...)

  • What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?

    Jump

  • Regularly Cube2:Sauerbraten, initially from 2004.

    Occasionally, Dragster on Atari,1980. Some of the best reaction gameplay available, from the golden years.

  • With a sidewinder joystick?

    That thing is made for torso-twist in MW2.

  • TIL: There's a website called Mapcarta that utilizes information and data from OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other open projects, and presents it in an interactive world map

    Jump

  • I'm not ragging, I can wait for my edits to come through, or go check them on OSMand.

    Thanks for the link too, Mapcarta is an excellent fusion resource.

  • Did you get your Limewire Wrapped?

  • Refurb IPods with upgraded batteries, Wolfson DAC, and 512GB SSDs are a thing.

  • I would actually use Audio-Galaxy Satellite P2P again to find new music.

    Had one of the best artist recommendation algorithms ever.

    For your local music library tastes, it would first crossmatch to find other users who had the most similarity to your collection, then recommend you the artists that they had, that you didn't.

    Simple and elegant.

    As mentioned elsewhere, Nicotine/Soulseek is the modern leader for recommendations.

  • Did you get your Limewire Wrapped?

    Jump

  • I was surprised 5 months ago that Limewire has morphed into doing short-term, web-based, file-hosting under the name filetransfer.io

    I needed to share a video, larger than attachment size. Searched for 'fileshare online'.

    The video successfully hosted for free, and was viewed.

    No report on how many viruses the viewer picked up /s.
