I’m delighted to hear that I’m not alone 😅

My apologies. I can’t say I’ve done this a lot, as I’ve always been concerned this was the case. I’ve made the necessary adjustments.

You look nice today.

Thanks :)

Hi, I’ve installed KISS after reading this comment and there’s one thing I don’t understand. Is one supposed to manually select their ‘Favourites’ or are they populated by KISS with use? I couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere else.

Please Do Not Go by Violent Femmes.

Would you have any recommendations for a split board that’s perhaps a little larger than the Corne? I can’t help but feel it’d be too small for me.

Have you not seen how big number can be? Number can just get so big. I don’t even care that I’m ADHD and I’m playing into all the worst stereotypes about us:

NUMBER GETS BIG

I’m fairly sure it was Scientific Linux because that was the distro used in the labs of my first programming course.

At some point soon you’re going to solve it in front of someone whilst you’re fidgeting, not even really focussing on it and you’ll blow their freaking mind and you’ll feel great.

Remember the GM of a TTRPG session I was playing was running a session and he noticed I’d been solving it when he’d assumed I’d just been fidgeting. He literally interrupted the session to exclaim ‘Oh my God, you solved it!’ and it took me a good few seconds to realize what he was talking about, as my attention was primarily on what he was saying and I was just idly solving.

Enjoy it when it comes :)

ADHD here. Speedcubing. It’s a wonderful hobby for me. When I’m interested in it, I can learn some new things and time myself to see how I’m doing. When I’m not interested in it, I can solve it and it helps me to focus on watching TV. Even if I’m not solving it, it feels great just to twist in your hands.

Look up a good budget speedcube (not Rubik’s branded) and invest yourself as much or as little as you fancy.

Some of us aren’t as husky as we would like to be; others are trying to be less husky. Presumably some of us are happy with ourselves, though I’m yet to meet them 😅

Jokes aside, we are all lovely people who just want to sit you down, make you a cup of tea, and convince you that good code does nothing and object-oriented programming is evil 😉

Haskellers for Haskell.

Truth or Consequences, NM

Heard it on a true crime podcast once and obviously I had to look up how it got its name and now it’s just stuck.

EDIT: Missed the never travelled to qualifier. I’ve been to California twice and NYC once. Only heard of Truth or Consequences after my travels.

An Ethicurean. I genuinely believe it’s the perfect cocktail but I’ve only ever come across it in a single bar in all my life.

• Serves 1
• ice cubes
• lemon ¼
• thyme 2 sprigs plus 1 to serve
• honey 1 tsp
• vodka 25ml
• apple juice 100ml

Full recipe.

Programmer chuds get bent out of shape that HTML is the single most influential programming language ever made. Think about it, Devs post code snippets to StackOverflow, rendered in HTML. An HTML-interpreter (aka a ‘Software Engineer’) copy pastes the snippet, transpiles it into a Python file, Java file etc. and later in the process you get a binary.

Basic Brogrammers rage against programming behemoth HTML out of bitterness that all they are is HTML’s compiler.

Right, so, you won’t believe me but I totally thought the vocalist could be Waylon but then I just figured that they’d gone for someone local to sing it and it was a bit sheltered of me to assume that Waylon’s actor was the only one with that accent 😅

Thanks for confirming.

Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it’s growing on me. I think I’m not keen on the vocalist? S2’s theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it’s my favourite of the four I’ve watched.

Those epigraphs are so brilliant. I’m always on tenterhooks waiting for the line to come up in the episode.

Amazing opening theme and it does such a great job building a sense of place. Even during the show’s most dramatic arcs, it does a great job of reminding us that the show is fundamentally about a very normal, relatable man with very normal and relatable concerns.

I adore The Sopranos.
