The Onion Ring to Rule them All

[–] rudyharrelson@lemmy.radio 14 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah. I've been looking forward to the parade of planets and have caught it a few times over the last few days. Been lucky enough to have clear skies the last couple of nights.

It doesn't exactly unsettle me, but pondering the mind-boggling scale of celestial bodies and the cosmos can certainly be... humbling, I guess?

I had a co-worker a while back who couldn't talk about the great scale of the universe cause he'd get freaked out. It didn't come up much, but when it did, he'd be like, "Please stop, it's stressing me out" so we'd change the subject.

Experimented a bit with my usual bread recipe. It's cooling off right now, so I'm hoping to have some fresh bread in an hour or so.

I had the privilege to see them live about 8 years ago and it was an incredible show. Dickinson has incredible stage presence; really puts a lot of energy into the show to keep the crowd engaged.

The giant animatronic zombie freaked me out a bit. It was enormous and moved realistically enough to be unsettling since I wasn't that far away from it. Most metal shit I've ever seen in person.

Probably! He was a very smart guy (way more formal education in computer science than I), so I've always assumed there was some truth to what he said, but he didn't elaborate further and I didn't like bothering him with unnecessary questions, so I never followed up on the topic despite my confusion.

Not a teacher, per se, but the senior dev on my old team once said something that left me scratching my head. We were trying to troubleshoot an inconsistent bug in our software, and I said, "Maybe it's a race condition," to which he replied, "There's no such thing."

Still trying to figure out what he meant by that.

Agreed. I've learned most of what I know about computers by fixing broken stuff. Like you, my first serious daily driver was Manjaro. And after dealing with broken systems time and time again, I'm tired, boss. My daily driver for the last 2 years has been Mint and I love it to death for how stable and functional it is. But the lessons I learned along the way with other distros have been invaluable.

I'm a big fan of this one:

"Somebody that I used to Know" by Linkin Park

I'm sad to see that the original got taken down, but someone reuploaded it here.

My friends and I started off playing D&D 3.5e in high school and college. We played it a lot over the years. Eventually we started playing 5e, and that's mainly what we play today (on the rare occasions we actually sit down and play).

I had a friend who enjoyed experimenting with other systems like "GURPS" and "Swords & Wizardry". We only ever played a few sessions with "Swords & Wizardry" but I enjoyed it a lot. It was an extremely lethal system where players were encouraged to be clever rather than solving problems through comat, since players weren't particularly powerful compared to your typical monster or NPC.

Most recently, another friend introduced us to "Apocalypse World", which we really enjoyed. We originally were just gonna play a one-shot, but wound up having a dozen or so sessions to keep the story going.

You could try opening up the Resource Monitor and checking out the Network tab:

It might have the same issue (grouping everything under the VPN .exe), but it's worth a shot.

Based on your description, "pan" seems appropriate. I don't think ratios really matter when it comes to this kind of terminology. You appear to be, to varying degrees, attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

That said, I'm not sure what the distinction is between "pan" and "omni".
