Courier with an intentionally off-center letter E.

Edit- and then we could fill the post space with a tessellating paper pattern, and the whole thing would be scrap-punk.

You guys need to get off of this tilting image trip. If we're talking about something to replace it with it should be something completely new that lets yobbers contribute to in their own creative way. Like for example, make it so the hammock cat has a bunch of different renditions drawn by different yobbers so every time you refresh the page you get a different take on the hammock cat drawn by a different yobber. Something like the banners in fyad but uniquely byob.

:colbert: Koishi how could you I thought we were friends

i basically just started posting here and i thought the tilting images were super fun

i like the kristen itc font its even goofier than comic sans

And I thought this was the chill forum.

Getting stuck in a rut is not chill, friends.

The unspinnning is our signal to become anew.

to chill out is to basically be in stasis and not do anything

thats why they call it chilling not actioning

let's also not forget FD's analogy about the cardboard box in space.


if we're going to ask for something new it has to be something reasonable. Not that I know for sure that anything suggested has not been so far, I just think it's something to bear in mind.

also if people want to make new things for byob, that sounds cool as gently caress and i hope instead of just complaining a lot you instead teach yourself CSS and database management then ask ZDR and FD and alnilam politely before you just foist it on us.

also i swear to god if the pastel colors and soothing comic sans font goes away i will lose my last god damned anchor on this hellscape of earth so please don't change that, namaste.

a life update behind spoilers because it's not happy and i don't really want to say it but i'm running out of cool good things to say.

tomorrow i'm going to a new therapist. also they changed my medication again from the ones that were making my limbs go numb and turning me hypoxic and extra super loving psychotic to something that makes me drastically less crazy and also gave me a magic pill for the panic waves i'm experiencing. i'm pretty sure my boyfriend broke up with me, and it's the eleven year anniversary of my second ex trying to burn my house down around me after drugging me. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY I HATE EVERYTHING.

oh here's a picture of jekyll being an objet d'art.

sabrina benaim wrote a really good poem about what it's like to try to explain depression and mental illness to her mother but it really applies for any time i'm going to a new doctor, a new therapist, talking to an old friend, etc., and not just my mother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqu4ezLQEUA

May I suggest a browser plugin or user sheet?

It could be a good place to test some of these ideas without having to enshrine them on the forums, and we could pick the favourite ones to get moved to byob.css proper.

The user sheet would be more portable (i.e. work on more browsers) but a chrome plugin with a bit of extra work would allow the stalwart to keep the rotating images if they really want them without it being default for everyone, as well as people being able to generally turn them on and off individually while testing them out.

I'm happy to do the legwork if this is something you might want.

Does anybody have a preferred vendor for backpacks? I need a large camping backpack I can still ride a bike wearing and I want to get it shipped relatively quickly.

I like osprey a lot for backpacking

if you're bike camping though you should srsly consider pannier instead

but if you need to bike + hike or if you just need to get one bag that does both, then yeah i like osprey bags a lot

also if money is an issue you can do a lot with a rack and a milk crate and some rope

I have never been able to get over the air broadcasts for literally decades and I forget what normal TV looks like

I refuse to get cable because of the cable monopoly (but I still get Internet from them)

What i’m trying to say is that I can wait until the day when olympics just streams on twitch or something

I did curling once and it was surprisingly fun. Everyone wants to throw the stone but I actually enjoy sweeping.

I like curling up in bed with a good book.
But it's awkward later when I want to sleep and the bed is full of ice and brooms and rocks with handles.

Curling is the best sport, because there's an open bar at most team events, you're literally sweeping ice in front of a rock your buddy just gently slid, and you get to trash talk the other team about their ability to chug canned maple syrup at least twice an hour. It's in the rules.

Awesome, thanks, I'm checking these out now. The milkcrate is a great idea but here's the situation: I need a bag I can cram with clothes for a bus ride back to the city, then once I'm there unload the clothes and carry regular stuff on my bike (which is going to town in the bus belly compartment stripped of all the lights and stuff cuz I learned my lesson last time). So basically I want something multi-purpose with the most carrying capacity I can get away with and still ride wearing.

I spent some time on Amazon looking at cheapo bags from questionable sellers that also make fake eyelashes and poo poo. 30 bucks is a great price for a 50 l bag but I couldn't find one without customer reviews that said the zippers suck, and I know from experience that sucky zippers are the achilles heel of a bag.

I guess I shouldn't say I need camping gear, I need city life gear, but I've always treated one as the other. I'm pretty nervous about riding in the city again but I've been training hard so hopefully with some gumption I can make this happen. Eco-buddy poverty powers ACTIVATE!
