Conjure is what did it for me. I kept running into trouble with Clojure vs ClojureScript vs Babashka projects with vim. Just couldn't get the config to work consistently when switching between projects.
The eval period was about a day.
Yes, that changes the borders. But it doesn't turn a column into a table. Compare ls /proc in both bash and nu. It's a simple kind of thing that I can't find a solution for in nu.
Sadly that's still not a compact output. The listing is still just as long as before scrolls right off the terminal
Hey Nu fans: is there some way to get compact ls output? Like a table of just names. No type, date, size, etc.

I did not know what to expect going in to this one. 10 minutes in I was thinking it would be unbearable. 20 minutes in and I was laughing. It somehow gets weirder and funnier all the way through. And when I say weird, it's like Eraserhead level weird.
I have the same weird obsession with GITD stuff. One of my pendants has tritium-powered glow tube in it.
Wouldn't it be nice to have, say, a Mastodon TUI that could show images in-line? A lot of terminals are capable of that.
Here is an interesting demo showing 3d rendering in the terminal: https://github.com/MasFlam/notcurses-rend3d
Nushell is nice, but the lack of vi-style keybindings killed it for me as a replacement for bash. If that ever changes, I'll try it again.
This one hit home for me:
We're just not much good any more at refusing things because they don't seem proper. As a society, we can't even manage to turn our backs on abysmal threats like heroin and the hydrogen bomb. As a culture, we love to play with fire, just for the sake of its allure; and if there happens to be money in it, there are no holds barred. Jumpstarting Mary Shelley's corpses is the least of our problems; something much along that line happens in intensive-care wards every day.

I was surprised. Very fun.

One of the real gems I had missed until recently: Orphan Black. And I'll second the recommendation for Severance.
Here's something nobody has seen, but is sweet despite the premise: Brigsby Bear https://letterboxd.com/film/brigsby-bear/
I think this fits, too: Moonrise Kingdom https://letterboxd.com/film/moonrise-kingdom/ If you have my sense of humor, you'll also find this one rather funny.
