I think the confidence was justified. Fair bit of activity going on outside. Hail but not real big. Yet…

Dsub is great but looks slightly dated. Tempo might be what you’re looking for.

I remember the F1 communities here being pretty good and active around the reddit API change exodus times.

Not sure if they still are as I stay away due to not being able to watch most races live.

If something interests me I add it to the list. Not overly concerned with critical opinion if its negative.

Sometimes I will seek other things based on enjoying something. So an actor or director’s other works for example.

Talking to people and finding out what they enjoy and then evaluating whether or not it is interesting to you is a good way to isolate something. For example KPop Demon Hunters looked like slop to me (and I enjoy some Korean media), but someone at work started talking about it and that got me just interested enough to take a look into it and them watch and subsequently enjoy it.

I believe it refers to a similar concept in the car modding scene.

There would be annual expeditions to try and defeat whatever is causing it.

I’ve only quit jobs when moving, one I gave 2 months notice and confirmed I would be around for two peak periods. I have done what you did without the vacation bit. Tell them first and then give them the letter.

Australia had a mass shooting in 1996 and pretty strict gun control came in. Now it’s only really sport shooters (who are a pretty responsible bunch from my experience), rural property owners with a good reason (pest control largely), certain occupations like specific security (cash transport for instance), cops and military that have guns. And criminals.

We still get the odd shooting but they’re pretty rare and to my understanding, almost never done by legal owners.

I’m not sure what things were like back in 1996 but I don’t believe we really have the gun culture so there’s not much opposition to gun control by the majority.

Playing Ghost of Yotei at the moment and absolutely loving it. Tsushima was an all timer for me so I’m happy for more.

I’ll go back to Ubuntu Touch. I used it a year ago and it wasn’t completely compatible with Fairphone. Now it is.

Show her some pictures or videos of DEs and see what she likes. If she’s someone who likes to make it look the way she wants, she might get a bit more out of KDE than Cinnamon for example.

I find this resistance weird. (From the “normies”, not the Signal users)

Most of them have phones filled with all sorts of crap that they download willy nilly, yet they only seem to put the walls up for Signal.

I like it.

I thought Metroid did it pretty well. Hunters at least, not sure if there was another you might be talking about.

It’s a great system. Worth just clarifying that the “nominating” is just the candidate suggesting who to put which numbers next to, not actually them saying who the runoff vote goes to.

What does that have to do with the topic at hand?

Can recommend an afternoon nap.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks.

Why is that? (Genuine curiosity)

The original Macross opening theme is epic. (As in what the word used to mean)

The theme by Anri from the first season of Cat’s Eye (the original, not the remake releasing now) absolutely slaps. Second season theme (Derringer by Mariko Tome) isn’t too bad either. The ending themes are pretty corny but they grew on me.

Evangelion opening and ending (Fly Me to the Moon, not the Rei themes on the Netflix version)

I can’t remember which season it was in but Seize the Day from Laidback Camp is one of the happiest songs I’ve heard.

Samurai Champloo might have the best music of any anime. The gateway to Nujabes who would become my favourite artist.
