  • Thank you!

    I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t see that community from my BeeHaw account… So I signed into LemmyWorld and, there we go…

    I still don’t have the federated universe thing down.

    You’re my dang hero of the dang day!

    And, you’re right, it doesn’t seem all that active of a community, but hopefully growth will come with time. You just added one to their numbers, so it’ll seep in and take root after a while.

    Thanks, again.




  • There’s a podcast called Fish Nerds that began long ago, more than ten years, now. It all started with a couple guys that decided to catch and eat every legal fish in New Hampshire. About 48 species, if I remember correctly. The host, Clay Groves, did catch and eat a sturgeon, although I’m not sure if it was in the original 48 fish or something he did later on, it’s been a lot of years. But, the guy is absolutely helpful to the point of obsession, I believe. I think if you reached out to him, pretty sure it’s fishnerds@gmail but, check that before writing, I could be wrong on the address, he’d be overjoyed to give you the best opinion I think you could get on this question. And it’s a damn good podcast, too.

    I do a lot of fishing for food, myself, so I’m really interested in what a sturgeon stroganoff would be like! Sounds fuckin wonderful to me!

    Shoot the guy an email, or email it as a question to the pod, I think it would be a great mailbag question on a really interesting subject. And you’d be asking a guy that’s okay as to eating fish. And the most notable fish eater and sustainability freak I can think of.




  • #!.. That’s the right symbols! Knew it was something similar. One of my first, as well. Ran Fedora for a short while, then moved to Ubuntu for ~a year, then onto trying my own flavor of stock Debian. #! did such a better job than I could, and then at (or near) the end of#! I found BunsenLabs, which is my overall favorite. Even gave Arch and Gentoo a real effort for a while. Always came back to BunsenLabs. Learned a huge portion of my Linux knowledge from those old #! forums. A true wealth of information there. Really looking forward to giving the new BunsenLabs a tryout when I catch the time.











  • Catfishin’.

    Holy hell… And so many get turned back, too. I keep some eater-sized channel cats (roughly 4-13 pounds for females and the males stop being really good eaters at less than that.) And all the flatheads get released nowadays, at least until they make a good comeback in my area.

    But, it ain’t all about the meat. It’s mostly about the getaway time. And the fuckin addiction to catching them. Time spent catching bait and long nights with no bites are okay, too. A bad day fishing is better than a good day working.

    All my trout gear was useless against the bastards, so it was a total rebuild of gear over the years. And them big-assed hooks ain’t cheap. It’s easy to go overboard especially with the store-bought baits, and then figure out that fishing was better when you were fishing with the stuff you caught around the river anyways…


  • Preach that shit.

    Fucking cunts are worthless. Haven’t used that shit since I got deployed to the Middle East in 1996; three days before the KISS concert we payed out the ass for and they wouldn’t refund our tickets. One of the very top shitty corporations on Earth. Nobody should ever use them or any of their relative companies.
