When I was maybe 5 or 6 my mom had hung a couple of "Cydney" clown prints in frames on the wall in my room. Feel free to look them up online for a whimsical taste of 60s-era coulrophobia fuel 😬.

Every time we went out of town to visit relatives the glass on one of them would be fogged over when we came back. It was creepy as shit and I would refuse to step foot into my room until my dad wiped the fog off the glass.

I think the lighter area in the upper right corner of the painting. I can kinda see it. It'd be over the girl's left shoulder at about 2 o'clock.

Check out https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ They have a ton of non led-lit keyboards. I've ordered a few from them and their pricing and service is excellent.

I block by keyword using filters in the Connect app myself - works great!

I've got 1322 communities blocked myself πŸ˜‚. Still plenty of content to view using either the 'all' feed or my front page.

I also use filters a bunch, which helps with stuff like excessive posts about certain creeps in tech or getting spammed with quasi-duplicate posts across multiple communities that I otherwise want to see content from.

Got a few instances blocked as well - seems like Lemmy has a pretty good set of tools to customize content.

Check out Autochrome images, some very intriguing early color photography using that process.

Your dog is really cute. He looks like a little old man!

You'll need to Google the current process, but I have at least 8 machines running 11, and I think only two of them support 11 according to Microsoft. Should be a fairly easily solvable problem if you are comfortable installing an OS and maybe tweaking a couple of registry entries or installer files.

Looks great! The reinforcement work on the back of the soundboard looks especially impressive!

Friday the 13th in 3D. Saw it in the theater when I was apparently 12, with a whole junior high friend group IIRC. Don't know what we or our parents were thinking, sure left an impression and a couple of night's worth of bad dreams. The 3D effects were effective and pretty nasty.

I'd love to see Darkwatch get ported to PC and remastered. Loved it on ps2 and have it working at a somewhat cranked up resolution on emulator, but a legit updated PC port would be awesome.

We do Greenlight for this, which has a management app and a debit card. It's not perfect, but it's working well for our preteen son and is pretty flexible. We can add money when he completes chores and can partition what he can spend where. It works and he's definitely gaining more of an understanding of how to manage his money.

Edit - Greenlight also gives you a qr code and payment link that (e.g.) his grandmother can use to pay him for mowing her yard, etc. No cash involved.

Hatchling Carolina Mantis wondering what I'm doing in its face. Here's hoping these little guys can bring the fight to the enemy bugs in our garden!
