    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.

    Me, too. Never at the yard when he was there, not quite old enough to remember him on the field. But a life of so many stories about Brooks, from family and friends and hearing him on the radio, etc… leaves me feeling like I lost a personal friend. Well, similar, anyways. Losing a hero is a lot like losing a friend, in a way. Out of all the Orioles, he’s the man I most wanted to have a cold one with.

    I thought about Brooks so much when we first got Manny. And was crushed when they traded him, although watching Manny in the World Series gave me the opposite kind of feelings. He damn sure didn’t display The Oriole Way with the Dodgers during that World Series.

    Gunnar looks really good on third, though. In my opinion he’s better at third than he is at short. And he’ll only get better and better.

    This has been the best season of Orioles baseball since '83 (in my opinion). And that’s about the extremity of my personal memories of baseball.

    What a year! And it ain’t over yet!

    Go O’s!

    #!.. 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.
