Tumbleweed was my favourite for years. I’m not currently using it, but I’ll always have a fondness for it.

I’ll keep it in mind when I try again. Thanks mate.

In trying to get Linux on my og Surface Go lately, it’s not easy or straightforward.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept

Nothing anymore. But from age 18 to mid 30s I kept my busted up old guitar pick in my wallet.

It had seen way too many shows, and it was brittle as hell. It’s in a shoebox with since other memories now.

Less unique, I carried around phenergan pills in my pocket for about 10 years. I’d had an episode of an unknown something setting off a reaction with my throat closing up. Urgent care gave me the pills when I left the hospital and I couldn’t not take them everywhere with me for a long time.

Dave the Diver. I was playing a pirated copy through October, it was a lot of fun so when it went on sale last week I bought it.

Probably just ask about it. They could be asexual. Years ago I was with someone who was, and we had sex, a lot of dirty fun, she was totally into it, but she didn’t cum and told me she doesn’t need to. I found out after that she loves having sex just to feel close and connect, not for sexual gratification, she didn’t masturbate either.

Without knowing your relationship history, maybe your partner is somewhere in this space but doesn’t openly talk about it?

A 3dfx Voodoo, it came with POD as a pack in game and it looked so good with Glide. My favourite racing game memories.

If you tighten just one side, it can pull the connector in that direction. Think of tightening heatsink screws unevenly on each side.

I don’t think you’d remember a break up from hundreds of years ago, let alone be upset about it.

Maybe if you use Proton VPN on KDE it could need to pull in some Gnome packages. Which isn’t a problem. I use Proton VPN on KDE but I just install it from flathub to keep it simple, so I couldn’t say for sure.

Yes, horror manga. I read it every year around this time.

It’s not really a fact, but some people might have the opinion that the manga made spirals creepy.

Spirals

I’ve only owned two cars. So the worst by default was a 1987 Ford Laser I owned in 2003.

It was the “Ghia” model. So central locking, sun roof. My uncle had modified the wheels, steering wheel, carbon shifter.

I actually loved it and it handled so well on gravel roads. But eventually the cv joints went, repaired, they went again, leaving me stranded 30km out of the nearest town.

Their existence is a waste of time. If I wanted to but a Big Mac, I’ll go and fucking buy one. No ad is going to make me do that.

During the pandemic I was trying to buy a new car since I’d moved further away from my job and needed one for the first tune in years. So many car ads, but every dealership I called “oh, we won’t have stock for another 6-8 months”. Well then stop advertising your cars!

And just generally; I know products exist. I’m aware that I can but a product to clean windows. Seeing your ad isn’t making me go “wow, clean windows, there’s a thought!” For fucks sake.

Ads are one thing that really pisses me off.

Some furniture wax. And I still use it, I just bought two more tins.

No, but they do love grindcore as well.

Propagandhi?

Post-hardcore. Typically 90’s old school like Fugazi and Hot Water Music, and then especially 2010s style “the wave” Touché Amore and La Dispute.

Not the 2000s style that veered into emo and Metalcore territory. Although there were some fantastic bands around that time that experimented with the classic sound, like Thrice and At The Drive In, and an obviously earlier example of that being Refused.

The combination of hardcore punk with slow and mid tempo breaks, throw in spoken sections or poetry. If it’s done right it’s just beautiful and makes you feel everything.

But if it’s done wrong, it’s so bad, don’t even bother. Honestly, for me, there’s so many 2000s-era bands that are unlistenable, and to me don’t even fit the genre as far as what came before and after them. But everything changes and people experiment with different sounds.

And it’s such a flexible genre, you have bands that take post-hardcore sensibility and turn it into indie rock, like Manchester Orchestra.

I was going to mention camscanner, but it’s been years since I was in the android phone, so I wasn’t sure if it’s even still around.
