Yo, came here to say Owen Wilson! I can’t stand him. It makes me sad that he’s in all those Wes Anderson movies, because he’s a good director otherwise… :-/

me three

Good stuff to know. Thx!

Interesting! Well I currently have a 1070ti, which the internet tells me will mostly outperform a 3050. Thanks for your dev perspective.

As a relative Linux noob and Nvidia card owner, I keep hearing how it’ll be so much easier if I go AMD. Is that not true?

I do similar but take out the outer corner ones first because they’re the most likely to get knocked in the fridge :P

Entheos!

I use Arch on my main machine, but I just got a new (old!) laptop that I’m going to set up probably with Debian. Someone mentioned I might try Devuan… and learn about all the init stuff… but I’m thinking I’ll keep it simpler for this one and go straight Debian first.

Ha, yeah! I had to practically go into hiding to get through Severance without hearing hints from coworkers/internet/friends. Expanse hasn’t been quite as challenging :fingerscrossed:

Same here on The Expanse. I hope to get back to it someday because my friends say it gets better.

Same! I gave up after season 1. That s1 finale just pissed me off.

Wow… define loser? That’s awesome!

Bach. Anything after that’s pretty cheesy…

Wow, yeah, are we sure those aren’t just some 2025 Oregonians??

David Foster Wallace, shook hands and chatted at a book signing… He was very pleasant, shy-seeming, like you’d expect. RIP!

Philip Seymour Hoffman, shook his hand and chatted briefly, after seeing a play he was in. Oddly similar to DFW: shy, warm, very human. Also RIP!

(I guess, don’t shake my hand?)

Does peanut butter count? I eat it on carrots, dip dark chocolate bars into it, sometimes just scoop it with a spoon. Yum.

With Rattle and Hiss, the Slither brothers…

I basically read two types of books. One is lit-nerd stuff (Joyce, Pynchon…) where you can read and re-read and still find new things, find communities online of people discussing it, read it with a friend and share what you got out of each chapter, etc. The other type I do is more immersive sci-fi/fantasy (Rothfuss, Stephenson, etc.) which I read for totally different reasons… like you said, an escape into another world.

TV makes me feel like a spoonfed zombie. I’m trying to watch Severance, and it’s good, but I hate the feeling of being hooked, tied to it, and having to sit there and binge it. And they’re doing all the imaginating for me. I much prefer to spend that 50 hours with a good thick book. No judgment on how other people like to do it… I just prefer the quiet of paging through a book!

I keep hearing about this thing. Does it really do all the photoshop things? adjustment layers, masks, dodge+burn, all that stuff? and I guess, does it do it well, with big files?
