I’m delighted to hear that I’m not alone 😅

My apologies. I can’t say I’ve done this a lot, as I’ve always been concerned this was the case. I’ve made the necessary adjustments.

You look nice today.

Please Do Not Go by Violent Femmes.

Would you have any recommendations for a split board that’s perhaps a little larger than the Corne? I can’t help but feel it’d be too small for me.

Have you not seen how big number can be? Number can just get so big. I don’t even care that I’m ADHD and I’m playing into all the worst stereotypes about us:

NUMBER GETS BIG

I’m fairly sure it was Scientific Linux because that was the distro used in the labs of my first programming course.

At some point soon you’re going to solve it in front of someone whilst you’re fidgeting, not even really focussing on it and you’ll blow their freaking mind and you’ll feel great.

Remember the GM of a TTRPG session I was playing was running a session and he noticed I’d been solving it when he’d assumed I’d just been fidgeting. He literally interrupted the session to exclaim ‘Oh my God, you solved it!’ and it took me a good few seconds to realize what he was talking about, as my attention was primarily on what he was saying and I was just idly solving.

Enjoy it when it comes :)

ADHD here. Speedcubing. It’s a wonderful hobby for me. When I’m interested in it, I can learn some new things and time myself to see how I’m doing. When I’m not interested in it, I can solve it and it helps me to focus on watching TV. Even if I’m not solving it, it feels great just to twist in your hands.

Look up a good budget speedcube (not Rubik’s branded) and invest yourself as much or as little as you fancy.

Truth or Consequences, NM

Heard it on a true crime podcast once and obviously I had to look up how it got its name and now it’s just stuck.

EDIT: Missed the never travelled to qualifier. I’ve been to California twice and NYC once. Only heard of Truth or Consequences after my travels.

An Ethicurean. I genuinely believe it’s the perfect cocktail but I’ve only ever come across it in a single bar in all my life.

• Serves 1
• ice cubes
• lemon ¼
• thyme 2 sprigs plus 1 to serve
• honey 1 tsp
• vodka 25ml
• apple juice 100ml

Full recipe.

Sorry for my delayed reply but this was exactly the explanation I needed and I’m grateful for the effort you put into writing it.

Can someone explain to me what Reddit’s costs are supposed to be? It’s not like they have to pay licences for things like music or have to host insanely large media files. Their content generation and moderation is free. For a long time their website was barebones and they didn’t have to make an official app. I can never even recall them advertising until recently.

Taking this post as a platform to rally against cutlery that isn’t fashioned from a single piece of metal but has a useless metal or plastic handle. When you take them out of the dishwasher, a pool of warm, stagnant , vaguely soap-smelling water will pour out onto your wrist and wet your sleeve and my week is ruined.

For the record, I haven’t experienced this in years but I carry the trauma.

Right, so, you won’t believe me but I totally thought the vocalist could be Waylon but then I just figured that they’d gone for someone local to sing it and it was a bit sheltered of me to assume that Waylon’s actor was the only one with that accent 😅

Thanks for confirming.

Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it’s growing on me. I think I’m not keen on the vocalist? S2’s theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it’s my favourite of the four I’ve watched.

Those epigraphs are so brilliant. I’m always on tenterhooks waiting for the line to come up in the episode.

Amazing opening theme and it does such a great job building a sense of place. Even during the show’s most dramatic arcs, it does a great job of reminding us that the show is fundamentally about a very normal, relatable man with very normal and relatable concerns.

I adore The Sopranos.

The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.

Kingdom? Who are the ruling dynasty?
