  1. I mean I have added almost half of all tracks to my epic music play list that is reserved for only the best tracks I want to listen to.

  2. Haven't watched the new Master's of the Universe movie, however I'm listening the soundtrack. It has surprisingly a lot of tracks that are absolute fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwSpzK8rFl4

  3. There is an indoor swimming pool almost next to me. Not even 3 minutes by foot. However it's closed during Summer as outdoor swimming pools open. I'm not going to use them. They are a cesspool of children, idiots, and idiot children, and they are on the other side of the city. Not convenient enough for a quick jump into the water during the current heat wave here. I guess the garden hose must suffice.

  4. I know the history of the term "Jaywalking" however I can not help myself not to think of a bluejay walking across the street instead.

  5. I feel a sudden wave of nostalgia thinking about my first *proper* mp3 player, the Creative Zen Micro with 4GB 1.8'' HDD. I had a stupid USB-Stick with 128MB before and it was crap. My Creative Zen Micro couldn't be turned on and it was a sad day 20 years ago. I have too much music to consider using anything like that again without having to transcode everything to 128kb/s for a decent music selection. Apparently none survived as I can't find any working on ebay as all I can find are marked as junk or for parts. After that I had an iPod Touch 2G with 16GB that got a broken headphone jack and trying to repair it the display broke. Wouldn't want to use that again because of iTunes.

  6. I need to get all the old music I always had. I'm seriously missing the SNES music from StarFox (StarWing), especially the Corneria stage music. Somehow the SNES sound chip is still unmatched. The Amiga is close but not the same.

  7. @scribus I went back to Slay The Spire 2 and unlocked the last bit. After that I have a gaping abyss full of backlog games. I own console games I have never even tried. The biggest road block is that I have to set up the consoles in the first place as all of them are in the boxes from my move into my current home.

  8. Played more Mina The Hollower. I went full on AVGN despite the accessibility options. I'm so furious I can't sleep.

  9. @scribus It's a dick move then that achievements (feats) are disabled when those, frankly speaking, accessibility options are enabled. I really liked Shovel Knight and it was a properly tough game. Not too hard but challenging, and the mechanics are not unfair. I don't have the same quality experience with Mina the Hollower.

  10. I am playing Mina The Hollower and I'm infuriated by the controls. The "sticky" direction controls are causing so many problems that made me run into enemies and fall into pits and losing all my currency within minutes. I want to like the game more but it's fighting me as a player. The flying enemies and the high HP enemies aren't helping either.

  11. @zeldatra To me I don't have any emotional relationship to Tupac and his music and his real life person. I don't have any clue to what's the point of that. Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One was in a way essential to the universe of the film and can be in a way excused to be resurrected (tough uncannily). In this case it's a completely new story that is not even in the same decade in which Tupac even lived.

  12. @scribus Ah. I'm generally more disappointed that "sorbet" ice cream is not more common and flavors like orange, pineapple, and sweet woodruff are not more common. I'm sick seeing chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and cherry.

  13. Never had Ben & Jerry's ice cream. If I had it I don't remember. Either way: when I see it in the store I think about trying one tiny pack but the price is high enough to lose my interest and curiosity.

  14. It's not been very long but I feel the lack of Steven Colbert's Late Show. Usually I wake up at 6AM and his monologue was usually the start of my day.

  15. @scribus I know! It's like a kick in the groin into my bank account. The leadership in Canada has stupid high demands in profit and we haven't reached them 7 years in a row. Also a ton of people here don't have a billable project, which is also not a good standpoint to ask for more.

  18. @scribus One of the episodes was a backstory episode that shows how Benson got the position of the manager of the park. So your remark checks out to some extend.

  21. Soldering Iron - Soddering Eye Ron. Somehow "soldering" is the Frenchest word in English where they choose to not speak out essential letters of the word. I mean next to aluminium.

  22. GOAT by Sony is pretty decent. It's a sports movie at its core, but still quite enjoyable. The best part is the animation. I'm pretty "eh" on the music but it's fine.

  23. @scribus Sounds quite the reason to cancel the session. My last week's session was cancelled because one of our group is a teacher and had to correct this year's final exams in computer science and mathematics and had to do twice the load because a teacher is ill for almost half a year.

  24. Garden birthday parties in mid May are weird. Barely warm enough to be outside during the day but it gets cold very fast. I had to bail out at 21:00 because I was freezing. I even had two pairs of socks on for the extra insulation for the feet and yet they hurt from the cold. To be fair: I was there for 6 hours (day temperature 15°C, current 8°C at 22:00).

  25. @thelastgherkin A friend of mine is a teacher at a school. She is very much annoyed of the originality and repetitiveness to the point that she is actively avoiding these digits and trying hard not to sigh in exasperation (especially in light of the poor performance of her pupils). She told me once that any time it happens the children of one class practically flip out. Not even Pavlov could predict this kind of reflex.

  26. The animated Stranger Things series is awfully flat. The writing is annoyingly referential and uninspired, and the knowledge that it doesn't fit into the main series makes it disappointing at best. I don't mind the animation style. The characters act also very out of place. It's an odd piece that is hard to take it as a stand-alone thing.

  27. @scribus I walked multiple times into the low-hanging ceiling lamp from the previous owner in my current home. I cannot fathom having anything than low profile ceiling lamps. A ceiling fan is for me a death sentence that would lead to my decapitation or to severe brain damage.

  28. I'm shocked that those cash registers run on Windows and get a horrible touch UI slapped onto them. I feel pity that the cashier's most crucial tool is stuck in the past. The UI has a block of function keys that are never changing and have the flair of a classic 80's cash register with hardware keys. The touch screen and PC can offer a so much better experience with context/state sensitive controls.

  29. I'm going to do IT support for the cash register system of a drug store for the next three months. Not the work I'm hired for but it's a customer retention opportunity for my company. I will process the incoming tickets and restart the cash register PCs for most of the time. Of course there are various problems but it boils down to restarting everything as the first problem fixing step. Handheld barcode scanner isn't scanning: restart the PC. The monitor isn't displaying: restart the PC.

  30. @scribus I watched the trailer afterwards on Youtube and it was quite the opposite reaction. I was more leaning towards that the trailer was doing a misfavor to the movie.
