No Country for Old Men was great too, and it made a better transition to film than The Road, in my opinion.

I work for a training department for a large financial institution. I think I could explain it as teaching people how to do their job better. Though I don’t actually do much teaching, personally.

I’ve liked the Jackpot series, but I absolutely adore the Sprawl series. I also loved the bridge series.

I had to look up:

HHGTTG = The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

I’ve had a Leap V2 for the last couple of years, and really like it so far.

I tried to do a bunch of small things. No single thing was the key.

• started drinking my coffee black
• drink more water, and drink water instead of other things
• I take the stairs instead of elevator/escalator whenever possible
• I try not to eat seconds at dinner
• “Real” exercise (like running, rowing, etc.) every other day, but if I can squeeze in extra ones, (e.g., 2 days in a row), I go for it
• If I’m not up for real exercise, I’ll go for a walk
• intermittent fasting in the mornings, so often no breakfast, but not necessarily every day
• No snacking after 19:00
• At restaurants, if 2 options look good, go for the one with fewer calories

There are probably more, but those are the kinds of habits we’re talking about.

Also important: if you don’t stick to all habits, don’t beat yourself up about it.

With the above, I was able to get from a high of 235 lbs down to around 180. I’m a bit more than that right now, but pretty close still.

I’ve done both, though I have been typing mostly over the last couple of years.

There are those who feel that the act of writing by hand, while slower, can have benefits that typing doesn’t. Not sure I believe that, though I do believe that for some, hand writing is just the more enjoyable way to go.

For me, I write in Org Mode, which for this purpose is kind of like Markdown. I use Emacs on my computer, and an app called Plain Org on my phone.

Oh, I hadn’t heard of that.

BTW: what do you use now?

Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!

Wasn’t there a Dreamcast Ecco release? Not sure if it was any good.

… I did not know that. Good tip!

On that note, you can edit titles in Lemmy, which you can’t do on Reddit. So that’s a pretty great upgrade.

Do you figure there’s a “curb cut” element to this controller? E.g. will some people of all abilities choose to use this device instead of a DualSense?

I played through the first one when it came out and really loved it. Never played the sequels though, for whatever reason.

This is probably just me, but I’ve tried to play through the original on an emulator over the years, and I had a hard time getting in to it. Just felt kind of slow from what I’m used to now.

I’m all of those things, but not an active Linux user any more. Definitely been there before though.

People seem to love Brother printers. I have an Epson Ecotank that seems to be pretty good so far.

Other than the right to use the FIFA name, and call a tournament the World Cup, does EA lose anything else? I think that’s mostly it, right? I’m going to guess most fans won’t care.
