Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.
I go to bed at 9pm everyday, and get 8hrs+ of sleep.
For the 2022 Microsoft Excel World Championship I downloaded the problems the moment they were released to the contestants and public and solved as many as I could in real time. I would have finished 5th.
You’d better be well paid, whatever you do. Like politics, all the wrong people go into Excel.
Now that there’s python in excel, I wonder how that competition will change.
I can eyeball the smallest available Tupperware that will fit the leftovers, every time.
I offer a course of cook everything in one pot as much as possible, then move the pot to the fridge and eat only that till it’s gone, clean pot and start over. 1 pot, 1 crock pot fit on my second shelf, drinks on the bottom, and fruits vegatables in the drawers. If it’s on the top shelf, I probably need to clean it out because I never know what’s there. Likely cheese.
You’ve completed the course.
Yea, my partner says my superpower is my spacial recognition. For me it’s totally natural to disassemble things and spin them around in my head, for her it’s totally foreign.
We also don’t both have internal monologs, and we are an extrovert/introvert pairing, so we do tend to talk more about our mental differences, maybe that’s why.
In visual studio, a program for software developers, one of the type of templates you can start up and make a program with is in “blazor webassembly”. One of Microsoft’s fancy new things.
In there, right after starting it, there is some example code thrown in your face. Code that contains pi… with a rounding error.
So I, being the insistent autistic nerd I am, made a pull request and had it fixed. And I still wonder how so many people looked at that and it bothered absolutely no one enough to go and fix it.
Oo, me too. I added a feature for submodules in their git implementation for VSCode. I have contributed to tons of the FOSS software I use, feels good to give back.
I haven’t seen any Star Wars movie.
the original 3 are good (a new hope/empire/return of the jedi) and the rest are bullshit
yeah, that’s what I heard, too.
funny thing is that I haven’t seen any of them, still know everything about it, thanks to 9gag through osmosis.
for a long time, this is why I decided not to watch any of thr movies, as I never would be able to experience it as first time.
but now, since I’m a bit older I know that’s stupid, it’s just some movie so I’ll watch those eventually with gf.
The thing I like about the original Star Wars trilogy is not that they were great stories, but just that they had really, really good pacing. The characters and scenarios were introduced at just the right rate so that when the big action scenes came around you really cared about them, especially in the first one. That’s also where the later films fell down. I don’t consider myself a huge Star Wars fan, but I would say it’s worth appreciating for the art of it even if you already know the stories.
I’m not toxic, but I am a fan! So, so much money in the franchise and they’ve all been mediocre-to-bad since Return of the Jedi. Some slight exaggeration to this opinion, but it’s mostly true. And there are some truly incredible stories in the old novels that are now discarded and considered not canon. Such wasted potential…
I enjoyed 7 when it first released. The visual style in the first 10 minutes was appealing and I figured we were retreading the same notes for nostalgia before going on a different plot with Finn. Nope, just poorly written rehashed story lines with nonsense plot devices. So much potential thrown away.
The prequels were a hot mess too. I watched episode 1 in theaters when it first came out and didn’t bother watching 2 and 3 until probably around 2019 and have zero regrets about that.
I think they’re getting a pass now because 7-9 were even worse, but this is like looking back at George W. Bush fondly just because of how awful Trump is.
