I just use vi

Is that stupid? It’s all I ever bothered to learn, hasn’t failed me yet. Now I’m not some big time linux guru but I’m a sysadmin and regularly find myself elbow deep in a CLI for stuff.

I’m glad to see there’s still a community for it.

I wouldn’t call compressed air extremely dangerous, but more than you’d think.

It can hurt you in a lot of ways and it’s often played with like a toy. Like blowing air in somebody’s face, don’t do that, think of it like coming at them with a handheld drill. Treat an air compressor like any kind of power tool, not exactly dangerous but can hurt you.

I think there’s a place for both. But sometimes I tire of anti-heroes, sympathetic villains, bad guys who were right, bad guys who turn good in the end, that kind of thing.

Sometimes it’s refreshing when the villain is just evil for no reason. Just bad, that’s it, just a bad guy who is defeated in the end because he was bad. No redemption story, you don’t feel sorry for them, none of that. I’m thinking like Ernst Blofeld, the T-1000, Palpatine, Sauron, Wicked Witch of the West, Skeletor. Uncomplicated villains, their motivation is just evil for the sake of evil.

Time and a place for both, and sometimes it seems like we only get the one. Like I can’t think of a recently popular movie villain who was simply evil.

You know, when I played FF1 I had already played several of the later SNES games. And in a way the simplicity was refreshing.

I still remember going into this town and all the NPCs are saying “there are pirates” and “I don’t like pirates”. Then there’s a pirate who says “we’re the pirates!”. And that’s it, simple as can be, there are pirates and you beat them. No long narratives, no grand schemes, just beat the pirates. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the grand arc kind of stories.

Same here, I’ve tried plenty of them and landed on Nova Launcher. Even put it on my dad’s phone because I couldn’t get things to be simple for him with the default launcher.

I paint gaming miniatures, and the only varnish I will use is Testors brand. One pass with high gloss because it’s more protective, one pass with “dullcote” because it gives it a matte and neutral finish.

Every other product I’ve tried has turned out cloudy, frosted, not the finish I want, or even cracked. So at some point I stopped attempting to find an alternative and just only use Testors.

See, they only sell it at one craft store in my area and it’s in a locked case so you have to get an employee and there’s only like two in the whole store. And it’s expensive. So I don’t like that hassle, wanted to find something easier to get, but nothing was ever even acceptable. So, it’s Testors Dullcote only.
