List is up! Big one for me this week!

Groo Minstrel Melodies #3 - I see Sergio, I buy Sergio. This was delayed last week I think (at my shop anyway) so I hope.I see it this week.

Minor Arcana #3 - Loving this series so far!

Convert #4 - End of the road for this one, interesting story for sure and I like the colors.

Geiger #8 - Still Following this one.

Ice Cream Man #42 - This series is kinda the whole reason I am into comics, started out collecting this one and branched out from there. Before I saw this I'd only seen like superhero stuff which I couldn't get into (I tried), had read Watchmen and V for Vendetta (Loved em), and some Deadpool (liked em lol) but that was it.

Moon Is Following Us #3 - Liking this series so far, #1 was a hook, #2 gives a few answers and gives even more questions, I'm along for the ride.

Epitaphs From The Abyss #5 - This one is...alright. I debate dropping it each time because I favor Creepshow and even Cruel Science, one day that'll happen, maybe today, who knows.

Whew! What're you pulling?

You're rooting for people who break and enter in occupied dwellings instead of a person defending their home, on a post about the cops showing up and shooting the homeowner who was struggling against a home invader attacking them with a knife? Ooooook.

Interesting note: The camps started under Obama, certainly continued under trump, and only continued ramping up once Biden took over, not decreasing. Something tells me that Kamala wasn't going to buck that trend, it seems to be a bipartisan effort.

If you're thinking 'bout playing ball it don't matter if they're black or white, he hee.

RIP your inbox lol. Like others have said though whatever you choose test it out booting off a USB first, fwiw I'd vote try FedoraKDE, but more importantly I'll add this:

Whatever you choose it will be different and it will be an adjustment in some capacity, and that's ok! And don't be scared of the terminal, always keep back ups just in case but you really can't fuck up tooooo bad unless you're using sudo and then just be real careful. Watch a few youtube videos on something like "linux terminal basics" or "bash basics" and follow along like you're taking a class, it'll really help you get familiar with it. It's a great thing to know how to use, these days if I know how to do it through the terminal I usually will instead of puttering through a gui honestly.

Been raped twice by two different women, I'd still be fine with it. If I let my experiences with women (that + 3 serious relationships ended in them cheating) cloud my judgement of the entire gender I'd be an "incel," so I don't, I give each individual a fair shake because my past trauma isn't their fault.

Hope that helps! I've lost patience with you, you're arguing in bad faith now calling someone saying "smile more" literal rape, invalidating what happened to me (actual rape) with that horse shit is a bad look but you do you. OH I almost missed the part where you straight up say "rape isn't as bad when women do it" holy shit I don't like you.

You don't see all the furry porn, extra long Kanji posts, B-Movies, witches, hackers, and cultists?

I'm used to not being believed, at least you didn't say the classic "you must've liked it due to (insert natural biological response to stimulus)" like most people do though I guess. Good for you.

But no, I'm sharing about how I feel in response to you telling me how I "would" feel, which you don't get to do, yet you continue above telling me what I feel. How about you stick to you and let others have their own feelings on what happens to them?

I figure I'd be mostly ok, the email I use for things I'd need to save is stored locally by thunderbird so I could still access those emails, the only problem would be changing the email on a few services.

The hardest part would be replacing that email address. That said, anyone have a rec for a good email service, preferably free, with IMAP/POP3 for use with tbird, that is at least ostensibly private (I know, email is inherently not private, but ykwim), and doesn't just get shoved in spam on gmail (since that's what everyone else has)? Riseup would be cool for instance but it's impossible to get an invite. I'm thinking I may just pay mailbox.org but I'd prefer not to. Unwilling to self host, evidentially it's easy to fuck your shit up by self hosting email.

Sometimes you can reach out to support and get them to fix it, but not always. Worth a shot, if you can remember the services that need to be changed lol.

 

List is up! Let's see, I'll be grabbing:

Toxic Avenger #2 - I was skeptical this would be a cheap imitation/just cashing in on the name, but the cover said "A message from Uncle Lloyd" and I wanted to read that alone, so I picked it up (#1). It was actually pretty good as far as a modern retelling goes, nothing will beat the OG but I will finish this out.

Black Hammer Spiral City #1 - I've only read some Black Hammer but I want to hunt down the rest, it was good!

Groo Minstrel Melodies #3 - I see Sergio, I buy Sergio.

Helen Of Wyndhorn #6 - End of the road, this series has been pretty good, I'm hoping for a spinoff/sequel that shows more of the magical world or Helen (or anyone's) adventures there.

Life #3 - This series is alright so far, two different perspectives in one book.

Time Waits #2 - Ngl I have to read #1 still before I pull the trigger, but I'll do it today.

Space Ghost #7 - Space Ghooooost!

That's it for me, what're you pulling this week?

 

New list is up!

FML #1 - "Genre bending," "Metal kids," "apocalypse." Alrighty then, I'll check it out.

One For Sorrow #1 - DSTLRY is an easy sell to me, and this looks pretty neat. 1900 london, criminals getting murdered by a mysterious figure dubbed The Magpie due to the feathers left on corpses.

I Hate Fairyland #17 - Aww shit, Happy's back.

Sacrificers #12 - Sacrificers rules!

Cruel Universe #4 - I'm one behind on this actually but I'll keep it going.

That's it for me, what's on your list?

 

Hey flipper comm! I just watched the LPL's video on how he bypassed SimpliSafe's door chimes with a 433.92 mhz signal broadcast from a generic remote to basically jam the weak signal output by the chime and bypass the alarm. Apparently it can also be done with a ham radio but they output too high of a signal and trip the radio interference notification on the alarm, and I immediately started wondering if the flipper would trip it or not.

A friend of mine has simplisafe and he said we can test it when I go see him in a couple months, but my problem then becomes "I don't know shit about Sub-gHz > Add Manually." There's so many protocols even just for 433mHz and I have no clue what the difference is between most of them (though I know KL and Security2.0 are rolling code protocols). Does anyone here know anything about them or which protocol it may use, or does it even matter?

Lpl didn't say the brand or I'd search the FCC ID and it seems that the one he used is no longer sold on amazon (probably due to his video haha.) There also seems to be a reddit thread related to flippers and simplisafe but unfortunately I absolutely refuse to install the app to see it.

Any help on the "Add Manually" would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to spend 4hr trying it out manually adding this and that protocol day of, we're gonna have drinking that needs to be done lol.

 

New list is up! Sorry I'm a day later than usual lol, busy week so far already!

Batman The Long Halloween The Last Halloween #2 - Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na BAT-MAN!

It Happened On Hyde Street Devour #1 - The only horror book that looks good to me coming out this week, a day before Halloween no less. Seems they all came out last week lol. Hyde St #1 was great though, so I'm sold. Sad state of affairs. At least Creepshow Vol 3 is underway!

Come Find Me an Autumnal Offering - Looks interesting.

Deadpool Team-Up #3 - Deadpool & Dragons has been ok so far.

That's it for me this week, real light one! What's on your pull lists?

 

New list is up! Some good stuff for me this week it looks like,

Termite Mound #1 - I'll look at it if my shop has it, looks weird, I know nothing but the cover.

DC Horror Presents #1 - Not huge on the whole DC verse but do love horror, may look at this too.

From The DC Vault Death In The Family Robin Lives #4 - I do like Batman though sometimes!

Creepshow Volume 3 #2 - Creepshow is what Epitaphs of the Abyss wishes it could be. I wish they'd just make it an ongoing rather than seasonal but as long as they keep making them with some regularity I won't complain.

Moon Is Following Us #2 - #1 was interesting, seems to be about basically a kid who got Matrixed into their own dreams and can't get out, and the parents have to enter the kid's dreamworld and adventure-to-rescue.

Nullhunter #1- "NULLHUNTER is a kinetic cyberpunk retelling of the Labors of Hercules." Huh, neat, I'll bite.

Universal Monsters Frankenstein #3 - I love the old Universal films, and this comic has been doing them justice.

That's it for me, what's on your lists this week?

 

YESSSS! It's coming!!

 

New list is up! Not toooo many for me this week.

From The World Of Minor Threats Barfly #3 - Ayyy Shiteater is back! This series is pretty good

Batman And Robin Year One #1 - Batman eh? Ok.

Batman Full Moon #1 - Werebatwolfman? Or Bat V Wolf? Guess I gotta find out.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #3 - Turtles for adults is soooo gooood. Need more!

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #5 - Well y'all already knew this was on the list, I can't shut up about this series.

Epitaphs From The Abyss #4 - Last one was ok, I'll get this one. Creepshow is so much better though.

That's it for me, what're you picking up?

 

Hello lemmy's !music consortium. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this song, and being that it's lemmy, I'm assuming "probably." I've been looking for this song since Metro 2033 (game) came out, and I finally found it just now! It's sung by a guard right before you watch how Unkle Bourbon "works." (I had already found Гоп Стоп by Aleksander Rosenbaum). I didn't know where else to post this, being that it is music I came here, hope that's ok.

Now the issue is I'm a little lost on the historical context, and I was hoping one of the .mls out there who may have a bit more knowledge of the russian civil war could shed some light on it because to be frank I know nothing about it.

It seems to be a Cossack song, and anti Bolshevik? I translated the ru.wiki.whatever page and it seems to suggest the writers are a couple of punks with cool ass nicknames like "solid" and "not good" that pulled lyrics from a couple historical tunes, and that there was a 4th verse in the OG that is now oft omitted much to the chagrin of those authors, who call it "white guard pink snot" or something, what the hell does that mean?! Is the song supposed to be just generally anti-communist or is it...well...idk, really any insight into this tune would be much appreciated. Like I said I don't know much, I basically know the "reds" are the Bolsheviks and that's it.

 

New list is up! Come and get it! Let's see, for me...

Minor Arcana #2 - Jeff Lemire rules. Minor Arcana is good so far.

Groo Minstrel Melodies #2 - I didn't know Groo was still around until issue #1!

Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #5 - Been pretty good so far.

Life #2 - I'll be honest I still haven't read #1, I'm slacking.

Space Ghost #6 - Space Ghoooost! Can't wait until he gets booked on the talk show. Looks like Moltar is about to show up!

Geiger #7 - Super FalloutMan has been good, I'll keep going

Precious Metal #5 - I'm a little behind on this too but it's ok, I like the art a lot.

Looks like that's it for me this week, what's on your lists?

 

New list is up! Looks like a decent one..

Minor Arcana #1 - Honorable mention, this one is getting a second print. I'm all in so far with just #1. A woman returns from the city to her hometown, in part because of her failures, and in part because her mom is sick. Her mom runs a Tarot shop, the daughter thinks it's all bullshit scams but ends up running the shop and it turns out maybe it's not all bullshit after all, seems like she'll be talking to her sapphic old love from high school shortly.

Plastic Man No More #2 - Yeah I like Plastic Man now, he's funny!

Falling In Love on the Path To Hell reprints #1, 2, 3 - Most honorable mention. Image now bills this as "your favorite new ongoing" and I think they're right (because Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees isn't an ongoing...yet?...but anyway), it's damn good! Basically a Cowboy man and a Samurai woman wash up on the beach in purgatory after dying at the same time, and honestly I don't want to give away any more than that, it's fucking good. One of my favorite colorists too, Chris O'Hallorhan, who does Ice Cream Man.

Hyde Street #1 - Ghost Machine's (Geiger, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus) newest offering. I'll check it out for sure, since it's horror, but I'm not gonna lie the only thing I'm following is Geiger so far so we'll see.

I Hate Fairyland #16 - Yup! New arc!

Cruel Universe #3 - Cruel Universe is great! Honestly scarier than their horror offering so far, however Epitaphs #3 was pretty good!

That's it for me, what are you getting this week?

 

My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #5 - Last one in this dumb ass series lol, why not.

Helen Of Wyndhorn #5 - This series has been good, I kinda hope it gets picked up.

Batman The Long Halloween The Last Halloween #1 - I guess I'm going to pick this up, but I haven't read the first series.

Lobo Cancellation Special #1 - Idk much about Lobo but this looks alright.

Creepshow Volume 3 #1 - It's here! The first two were so good! Need more. MORE!

Drawing Blood #6 - Tbh I've been slacking on this one but I'm still picking it up, I'll get to it.

Universal Monsters Frankenstein #2 - Really dug the first one, I'll keep picking this up.

Dick Tracy #5 - Dick Tracy rules! I need to buy a yellow trenchcoat for no reason.

Deadpool Team-Up #2 - Deadpool & Dragons™ I guess. Pretty weird but I'm giving it a shot. I'm not usually into marvel but I do like old Deadpool (and & Cable) and I think I'm gonna pick up whatever Deadpool Liefeld does, probably not any other stuff though (though I heard Scott Aukermann wrote one and I would like to find that lol).

Looks like that's it for me! Fucking hyped about Creepshow! What're you guys picking up?
