Last two code branches have been 'rightsizing' and 'more-sizing'. Resisting temptation to call the next one 'Tom Sizemore'.

@ratkins.net I have an ultrawide monitor. 49". I generally use it in thirds.
If a window is on the far right (no, not twitter), to use the menus I have to drive aaaaaaall the way over to the left hand side of the monitor, and then aaaaaall the way back.
Any recommendations for me?

Mildly disappointed to find that Hamnet is not about a pig who acquires powers after being bitten by a spider.

I've been playing #Subnautica. Wanted to play it for a while, and managed to get it free via Steam. It's fun, but feels too massive. Every hour of play solves one problem and opens 12 more problems. And to solve that problem you need that thing you left back at your base.

I read a few books about North Korea. Memoirs of people who escaped, etc. They were fed propaganda their whole lives of course, about the state of the rest of the world.
The 'deprogramming' of people who left, was to just send them out into the street, typically in South Korea.

Ted is a diminutive form of Edward, derived from an Old English tradition of letter swapping, where the initial 'E' in Edward was replaced with a 'T' for easier pronunciation. This nickname is commonly used alongside others like Ed and Ned.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

When my kids move out of home, I'll have to do the dishwasher by myself every day. I do now, but I will then too.

@craigmod.com hey Craig. I just finished TBOT, which I enjoyed a lot. We visited Japan about a year ago, a typical 10 day visit to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Keen to go back and visit more remote areas.

Why are licorice jelly beans mixed in with the rest of them? Even if you like licorice, they don't belong.
A similar shape, sure, but a wildly different food group.

On the train last week, I sat opposite a guy in full motorcycle leathers. Motorcycle boots. A helmet on his lap.
"A bit of overkill for a train ride mate"
He had earbuds in, of course, falling on deaf ears.
The death of polite society.
