  • LoraxElevenOPtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Hey, Lemmy! Is there a fishing community here anywhere?
    4•1 year ago

    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.

    Kid I used to work with said:

    “Hand me that torch. Can’t be seized-up if it’s dripping out in the floor.”

    Pressurized airline fitting was just straight whoopin his fuckin ass…

    I think he wore sunglasses in the shop so he could never see the lightyear-wide greenhorn shitstain he left in his wake. Been three years and I still find one of his fuckups every now and again. His tech manual for every vehicle was the top two or three hits on SploogeToob…

    He’d definitely have that lid, the container it’s in and everything else in the lab turned to pure watery shit by now… “What do ya mean it’s contaminated? I used a thousand dollar MATCO grinder!!!”

    Oddly enough, I miss that little motherfucker every now and again. He was definitely entertaining.

    Yeah, you know he drove a fuckin Miata. Convertible…

  • LoraxElevenOPtoLinux@lemmy.ml•Anyone know what happened to the old BunsenLabs distro?

    #!.. 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.
