ill be at your house in 10 minutes. how will you entertain me?
-
9:59 and counting.
I will play Van Halen's Jump on my synth for you

We can play lego LOTR on my PC I have 2 controllers.

Open door. Spritz you with honey and throw a handful of glitter to mark you. Then tell you to: "Get lost, no strangers at this party."

I have two gaming PCs, a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and a Steam Deck.
If gaming is not your thing, I am a coffee snob, so I can entertain you with my coffee brewing gear or we can dial in different roasts together.If even coffee is not your thing, I am also a hobbyist woodworker, so maybe we can build something together.
If all else fails, you can play with my dog, relax in one of my 3 hammocks, mess with my cats, we can go ultralight backpacking, you can play the piano, we can make scented candles or soaps, or I can teach you programming. I also have lots of books!
Welcome to my ADHD life!

Except I hate coffee. But am great at brewing/shots by smell. And my partner loves it, so I'm turning our espresso machine into a Gaggimate.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Baker's dozen here!

finally! love playing pretend as normal people. let me start.
"how bout that weather eh?"Well, if we’re being meteorologically precise, the “weather” as you experience it at this exact moment is really the culmination of a vast number of interacting variables that are constantly shifting on scales ranging from the microscale—say, the turbulent eddies you might feel swirling around the corner of a building—all the way up to the synoptic scale, which refers to the continental-sized weather systems driven by upper-level dynamics in the troposphere.
At present, the dominant feature influencing local conditions is the interaction between a semi-stationary frontal boundary, which is essentially a transition zone between differing air masses, and the associated baroclinic zone, where horizontal temperature gradients are maximized. This boundary tends to act as a focus for mesoscale convective development, though in your immediate vicinity, that energy seems to be manifesting more in stratiform cloud decks rather than organized convection. The dew point depression values are modest, suggesting that the boundary layer is near saturation, which is why relative humidity feels elevated. Surface observations corroborate this, showing low to moderate cloud cover with occasional breaks depending on diurnal heating and radiative flux.
Meanwhile, if we look aloft at the 500-millibar geopotential height field, we see a weak trough propagating eastward, embedded within a larger quasi-zonal flow pattern. This induces some subtle upward vertical velocity fields via positive vorticity advection, which, if you were inclined to notice, could explain the patchy mid-level cloudiness overhead. At the surface, barometric pressure is trending slightly downward, but not at a rate that would imply rapid cyclogenesis—rather, it’s consistent with the passage of a weak synoptic-scale disturbance.
In short, the weather right now could be described in lay terms as “a little cloudy with some humidity,” but really what you’re feeling is the local manifestation of vast thermodynamic and dynamic processes—everything from latent heat release in distant convective systems to planetary wave modulation in the upper atmosphere. In other words, it’s all very ordinary, but also astonishingly complex when you stop to unpack it.
Did I normal right?
(No, I did not write all that. I used devil robots.)

We'll be doing a rewatch of Ep7-9 followed by a lengthy discussion on why Hayden Christensen was the best Anakin and where Lucas went wrong making Ep4-6
Rewatch of 7-9 followed by a discussion of the propdesign, merch plugs and dialogue and I'm in.

I can cook you something fun while you steal the love of my animals and use my UV light to make my phosphorescent and flourescent minerals look fancy.
Can I come, too? I'll gladly help with cooking

You can watch me play Hades if you want.

Your premise falsely assumes I'll even let you in when you show up uninvited.
No, it doesn't. He WILL BE at your house in (now less than) 10 minutes. You only presume you will have a choice. Best to get over the denial ASAP and make a plan.

I’ll whip you up a pizza. Got dough and sauce in the fridge. What toppings would you like?
Pineapple. Just pineapple.

wanna smash? I mean smash bros haha jk... unless?

Get in loser, I'm teaching you to selfhost
I'll pick up some cherry coke and red vines. Show me your mgmtConfig code.

I'm at the airport. Feed the cat and water the plants, okay? Pizza place is downstairs and over a bit.

Almost everyone in this thread is a terrible host, Jesus Christ.
Sorry, OP.
I'll be naked when you get here. I think I have a strip of bacon left and can make some more French Toast.

You can hang out in the back yard and hand-feed our 100+ pound giant sulcata tortoise. She'll come "running" if she sees you have treats (e.g. lettuce).
You can keep the puppy busy outside so she doesn't have to worry about "forgetting" and doing that inside (puppies are trouble).
You can fish off the dock or swim in the pool. At night, I can setup the projection screen and we can watch some old movie out back and roast marshmallows at the fire pit.
Or you can just hang out with me in my garage/office and lose endless amounts of time watching the 3D printer print something (as is tradition with 3D printing!).
Also have a rather large robot to play with and an awesome HTPC setup and wifi 7 with 2 gig Internet. Actually, forget all that other stuff; 2 gig Internet is living the dream!
Thread's over. You win.

Did anyone else read this in Dennis Hopper's voice from Speed?
