Tbf from his perspective that may not have been an insult.

Can confirm. We do this all the time. It's because in Irish culture if you tell people you wanna go they'll try to get you to stay out for another round (ad infinitum) so people just bail and then message to say they had a great night and went home.

It's about a kid who loves to fight. His father is a sociopath who raised him to be a great fighter. He plans to challenge his father some day and he's gonna get there by asswhoppin his way through the legitimate and underground fighting worlds.

While the series' love of fighting is very real (the author has a lot of experience in martial arts) and the fighting is more grounded than something like DBZ, the world of Baki is very OTT. Like theres an arc where the most dangerous prisoners from prisons all over the world break out and go to Japan to challenge Baki. I kinda like how the series takes itself seriously and never winks at the reader despite how insane things get. That and the brutal fight scenes; they're great. Regarding the Musk thing, the author seems to love real-world cameos.

I accidentally deleted my root directory then botched the backup of my home directory by failing to copy my config files over then failed to check that before overwriting the SSD with my backups on it. I have learned many hard lessons today.

Really? I had an app that would autogenarate time sheets for work in Google Sheets. I decided to minimise API calls by doing a single call to Google Drive then parse the HTML and reupload. Not a big Python project but ChatGPT hit a wall pretty fast on that one. Though, tbf the documentation was suprisingly opaque so I suppose that goes back to your point.

That project also produced my finest pile of spaghetti code since I had to account for stretched cells in the HTML parsing. I still have a piece of paper with my innumerate math scribbles. The paper makes sense to me. The code does not.

Also, Mobile Suit Gundam, the foundational mech anime, is about child soldiers. I assume it was a big influence on NGE.

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

The Saudis are relentless in their tackiness.

Drag is using a first person pronoun just like you might write "I".

Why does drag refer to drag's self in this way?

Also, drag's name is not Dragon Rider. Unless that drag was referring to drag's chosen name?
