And yet, our good-for-nothing, fascist government keeps supporting Israel. Fuck them. Sideways. With a running chainsaw.

Congratulations, sir! Welcome to the happy world of composting.

OP: what age are you and where are you from?

Another vote for Raising Arizona, although it is a close tie with Wild at Heart.

It won’t get better if you have any kids. I bought Valheim for the casual exploring, but it got a bit more intense than that. :-/

A friend of mine bought a gaming keyboard with magnetic switches (which is a new concept to me). That felt comfortable. I sadly forgot which brand or model it was.

That being said, if you have red or yellow switches, your keyboard should not be clicky. Many mechanical keyboards even have swappable swihches, so in theory you should be able to replace the switches on your keyboard with red ones.

I have been a Cure fan for over 30 years now. I have seen them live twice, both times in their ‘Bloodflowers’ tour. Normally, when they perform near us, they perform on big festivals. I hate festivals.

The “average adults” in my bubble all complain about not being able to game, but somehow know all about the popular TV shows of the moment. And of course Formula 1 and the many football leagues (world football that is, not ‘American’ hand-egg).

It’s all a matter of priorities.

Also, as my kids are a bit older now, we sometimes game together. My son loves coop Portal and my daughter enjoys it when I play Valheim. She loves watching me explore the game world.

And where I come from: expensive German SUVs, preferably Mercedes.

Ouch!

More frustrating: for every little thing you do manage to fix, three new jobs pop up!

i have been to the US several times. Have you ever tried to eat healthily?

That’s not a bad idea! However, I think that the wife would have a strong opinion on that.

It has three compartments. Actually, I would like four, but these are hard to find.

I am a bit late to the party. Yes, I have a meat thermometer. No, I do not use it for meat, poultry or other animal matter. I do not cook meat that often and when I do, I usually know how to properly cook it without using a thermometer from experience. It’s not that difficult unless you roast entire birds or anything.

I occasionally use it for measuring temperatures when brewing beer. I have a digital thermometer with a wide range (-40C to +200C-ish) and use it to check the temperature of the wort when pitching the yeast.

As you specifically mention Minecraft: check out Valheim. In default settings you can hardly call it a pleasant stroll, but exploring the biomes is beautiful with especially stunning lighting.

Many moons ago we had a budgie. In his cage he had a little swing on a hook and one of his games was unhooking the swing and rehooking it. One day he had unhooked his swing and then let go of the ceiling of his cage. With a loud clang both he and the swing fell down. He looked very embarrassed and very caught in the act.

I run about 30 kms a week and I happen to live near my office, so I go there by bike. Walking is good. I do that almost daily after dinner. If I am tired after work, I make a point of taking long walks. I will still be tired, but the exhaustion will be physical rather than mental.

Well he did defeat Mecha Streisand.
