I might have to get to them at some point, then; time is the limiting factor now as I work 1.5 jobs and have all the normal home maintenance/work on top of that.

Yiddish and Hebrew are far older than and used by those who don’t support current events. It’s like the German language getting demonized in the US (and probably elsewhere) around the world wars; the language didn’t do anything, but people make assumptions of the speakers of those languages.

Playing FFVII once was plenty for me and I’ve no desire to play its v2 (doubly so if the camera/controls are the same as the PS1 version, though I doubt that). XVI I didn’t even know about. Disliking the camera/controls of VII was part of the reason I never played the later ones except for the MMOs.

I went there in like 2003 or 2004 and enjoyed it. Wanted to take my wife there when visiting the US recently, but just couldn’t reasonably fit it in with the travel times.

Well, I have “getting up before 2 or 3 (depending on US daylight saving time) to get ready for renewal” to look forward to. I’m not sure if that’s better than the time/money to travel to Tokyo.

Work has me using my current phone for alerts on my on-call rotation. I asked them to send me a pager instead if I can’t properly filter the alerts (Jira on Android has at least 2 sets of notification settings and then there are settings apparently within Jira. I was getting basically every Jira, Confluence, etc. message).

Further, apple butter, apple cider, etc.

ballcap; I wear one when it’s lightly raining to keep the rain off my glasses.

I find this statement to be pretty yeet.

Console? You mean Macintosh?

Either way, I’m glad to see it getting some love; I played it on Amiga growing up.

I specifically used the phrase “Please generate an image of a room with zero elephants”. It created two images that were almost identical and both contained pictures/paintings of elephants in frames. Cheeky.

I responded with “Each image contains an elephant.”

It generated two more, one of which still had a painting of an elephant.

Now I’m out of generation until tomorrow. Overall a fairly shit first experience with Dall-e

Same as unfolding them, but in reverse.

soy (in the form of edamame, tofu, and natto) is probably the cheapest option. Eggs are usually next on the list for people over here.

Edit: seafood might or might not be an option before eggs depending upon where one lives. Organ meat as well as we eat heart, liver, etc. a lot here as well.

FFS. Ohio’s officials need to actually face legal consequences for all its gerrmandering and other fuckery.

Seconded. I would have issues that kept getting worse as I got older. I noticed that whenever I did keto, I felt much better. When I combined it with going gluten free, I felt amazing. Well, dad gets diagnosed with Celiac and my old DNA test results mentioned I was a carrier and more likely to develop it. I haven’t had the endoscopy yet, but it’s pretty likely. This sucks as I love bread and baking it.

Anyway, if gluten is an issue, rice flour can be used for a lot of things and corn/potato starch is a good thickener (whichever is cheaper where you are).

Only slightly related. One weird thing I noticed when moving to Japan is that peanuts and beans were way more expensive than the US. I guess the equivalent here would be moyashi (bean sprouts) and cabbage.

I’m in my 40s and I’m with them. Movies can be cool, but I tend to like an interactive experience more.

I dislike both, but am still voting. In first-past-the-post, I end up voting against the worst choice in the presidential election which means I must choose the other candidate that has a chance of winning. I hate that it’s this way, but neither not voting nor voting for a third party in this presidential election will change that. I can’t wait until we have actual ranked-choice/star/etc. voting and get rid of FPTP. I do vote for the most progressive candidates regardless of affiliation in local elections but, well, it’s a rural red-state district so that’s unfortunately not a high bar (and I live overseas so the amount I can be directly involved in anything is quite limited).

I remember a few snippets. Hatchet in fifth grade. The outsiders at some point. High school English is mostly blank until senio year at a new school. We did a whole thing on middle English and Chaucer which is probably why I remember.

I’m torn between “no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)” and “crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)”
