No Country for Old Men was great too, and it made a better transition to film than The Road, in my opinion.

I work for a training department for a large financial institution. I think I could explain it as teaching people how to do their job better. Though I don't actually do much teaching, personally.

I've liked the Jackpot series, but I absolutely adore the Sprawl series. I also loved the bridge series.

I had to look up:

HHGTTG = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I've had a Leap V2 for the last couple of years, and really like it so far.

I tried to do a bunch of small things. No single thing was the key.

• started drinking my coffee black
• drink more water, and drink water instead of other things
• I take the stairs instead of elevator/escalator whenever possible
• I try not to eat seconds at dinner
• "Real" exercise (like running, rowing, etc.) every other day, but if I can squeeze in extra ones, (e.g., 2 days in a row), I go for it
• If I'm not up for real exercise, I'll go for a walk
• intermittent fasting in the mornings, so often no breakfast, but not necessarily every day
• No snacking after 19:00
• At restaurants, if 2 options look good, go for the one with fewer calories

There are probably more, but those are the kinds of habits we're talking about.

Also important: if you don't stick to all habits, don't beat yourself up about it.

With the above, I was able to get from a high of 235 lbs down to around 180. I'm a bit more than that right now, but pretty close still.

I work at slice 13/14

Shoot, that would have been nice to see on PlayStation too.

I've done both, though I have been typing mostly over the last couple of years.

There are those who feel that the act of writing by hand, while slower, can have benefits that typing doesn't. Not sure I believe that, though I do believe that for some, hand writing is just the more enjoyable way to go.

For me, I write in Org Mode, which for this purpose is kind of like Markdown. I use Emacs on my computer, and an app called Plain Org on my phone.

Oh, I hadn't heard of that.

BTW: what do you use now?

It's definitely been big news for a while in the Gran Turismo community.

And even though it's safe, it doesn't feel safe. I think they have replaced the glass from what you see in this picture. I think they have new glass that doesn't require the cross piece that you see here. Not that it makes a difference from a safety perspective, but you do feel like you're floating out there. Lots of grown people who refused to step on that glass!

There's that, and there was a huge wait to get up to the top. It felt like we went from one line, to another to another, probably 6 times in total before we got in the elevator. The kids still liked it though.

I bet most tall towers sway a bit, and are designed to do so. Though from the top, I couldn't feel it swaying.

I doubt a photo would be able to capture the level of sway that happens. The effect I captured in the photo I think is due to the subtle concave angle of the sides, accentuated by the angle of the photo.

Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!

Wasn't there a Dreamcast Ecco release? Not sure if it was any good.

... I did not know that. Good tip!

In Ontario, Canada, 500/500 fibre from Bell. I pay $60/month, though this is a promotional rate for 2 years. I think I will be paying double after the 2 years.

On that note, you can edit titles in Lemmy, which you can't do on Reddit. So that's a pretty great upgrade.

Up until about a month ago, Safari was the browser I used 95% of the time. I like the interface, swiping back to close a tab that was just opened from a link, etc. I don't use a lot of extensions, so I don't really miss them.

For the last month, I've been using Arc, but I may not stay with it.
