Why do Americans answer the phone with "Gopher"?
  • I don't think I've ever heard someone say that at the start of a phone call but it's common when communicating with two-way radios like:

    "Alex for John, over"

    "Go for John, over"

    ""

    I mostly heard that when working in large retail stores, usually the walkie talkies have an end-transmission sound que so we didn't actually have to say 'over' at the end

    What are you Reading? (August 2023)
  • I finally decided to start reading the Warhammer books and ordered Horus Rising, so I should get started on that next week. All the cyberpunk and SF stuff I've seen on Lemmy lately has me itching to re-read Necromancer. I haven't read Count Zero yet, for some reason I only have Neuromancer and Mona Lisa Overdrive, so I think I'll order that soon too

    Cyberpunk Game Humble Bundle
  • Of these games I have only played Ghostrunner which is excellent and I recommend, it's a very intense game. The rest of these look fun so I'll be getting the bundle

    How do we feel about posting memes to this community?
  • I agree. Memes are probably the cheapest content and I see enough of them everywhere else. Discussion, art, news, anything else mentioned is what I would like to see and interact with.

    What is your favorite filament?
  • I have Hatchbox PLA in most colors and it works fine for me. If I want to make something more rugged I use eSun PLA+. I also have a couple spools of Tecsonar multicolor PLA filament and those prints always come out looking great!
