Sometimes I feel like it’s nice to know that you got there. Even for a minute! I’ll take it. Haha

I think I have hope, too, that I’ll get back there.

I know that mango sticky rice is a popular Thai dessert, but I’m curious about other ways people eat it too!

When the original Walking Dead comic books came out around 2003 I was just getting back into comics and I remember reading Robert Kirkman’s ideas about what he wanted it to be.

This is exactly what he said. That the original classic zombie movies that he liked — mostly the Romero Living Dead ones — were stories about the people trying to survive. The zombies are secondary and, sometimes, even kind of ridiculous (see Dawn of the Dead, one of my favorite movies).

I thought the Walking Dead TV show and the comics after a certain point went into more gore porn, so I tuned out.

But you’re 100% right for me. George Romero made zombie movies to look at people. Not the zombies.

They were advertising it on the Paradox launcher for a while on Cities Skylines and it seemed like kind of a large risk for Paradox but I don’t exactly know why I felt that way.

It seemed like too much advertising for a turn-based tactics game or something. I like turn-based tactics games but it’s certainty a niche genre.

I love little Etsy sellers like this! We have several puzzle boards made by a kind hobbyist grandfather.

rClone is so awesome! It does so much that I wanted for so long.

Oh the OP repo is based on rClone, I didn’t realize. Even better!

I can find no evidence that this was designed by Sanyo at all. It’s likely a modern rendering of a fake vintage product.

Unimportant fun fact, it’s actually “bury the lede,” but I’m here because I couldn’t remember why it was “lede” in the first place.

They spelled it “lede” to distinguish it from actual text to be printed so the ledes in the newspapers wouldn’t all accidentally be printed with “Lead: Mayor Opens New Waterslide.”

It was misspelled on purpose in the 1950s and now it’s a word that means something specific. Newspaper jargon is so interesting, like even “above the fold” and “slug” carried over to web development.

Anyway, great work OP! (With an extra fact)

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.

I’m similar apparently, or at least liked learning. 2000s.

I was pretty unimpressed with the list, I never believed some of them (like the genome) and learned most of them were wrong by high school.

Haha! I read it as twenty-firth

A quote I think about is “a falling knife has no handle.”

I’ve never dropped a knife but I’m hoping if I do I’ll be prepared!
