  • That is A LOT of sequels/remakes. I probably don’t need to state my opinion on franchise recycling, as everyone has heard it all before from someone far more literate and irate than I.

    Looking forward to Project Hail Mary, though. While I’m of the typical opinion that movie adoptions rarely hold up, I am cautiously optimistic about this one for some reason.

    Oh, and I’ll probably watch the Paw Patrol sequel in the theater with some of my kids.







  • Vit D is one of the easier vitamins in that you have to take ridiculous amounts over a long period for it to be a problem, while really small doses once in a while can still be helpful.

    1000mg daily is considered a lot and is used for treating a high/severe deficiency. Despite not being deficient to a diagnostic degree I take a pill now and then (every few days, whenever I remember) to make sure I’m not deficient, since my region doesn’t really get any sunlight this time of year. I guess it averages out to maybe 200mg daily.


  • All day every day. I’m a linux user both at home and at work. The only closed source software I use is Bitwig, steam, and (most of) the games I play.

    When I need software that does X, and I have multiple alternatives, my order of preference for exploring goes like this:

    1. Anything that can be installed via apt-get
    2. Same as above, but with added repos
    3. Something found on github with a release ready for download
    4. Same as above, but I build it myself
    5. Closed source
    6. Paid closed source

    (Notice how snap isn’t in the list?)

    Of course, quality of the software matters, which means the list isn’t 100% accurate in all cases. Bitwig is paid closed source, but I prefer that over Ardour, and it’s IMHO miles better.






  • I’m at a point in life where I’ve got most things that I need, so there’s not a whole lot frivolous spending to for me to do. When time allows and I have some extra money, I get another flight lesson logged. And once in a while I order another batch of electronics from digikey. Beyond that I mostly put money into upgrading the hundred year old house I live in.

    EDIT: And an obscene amount of PETG for 3D printing. But I feel that at this stage that’s almost like groceries at this point, as most of what I print is functional/useful stuff.
