AND that clip episode with Homer in a coma, hilighting all the head injuries Homer have gotten over the years.

“We swear, we found him like this, we didn’t jump him or anything sandpeoply”

Go for another round, maybe you’ll get Autism 2.0

On a more serious note, this is a question for your doctor, not strangers on the internet. I think those vaccines are the ones that are valid for life, and adding to it doesn’t make a difference, but I’m not sure, and I’m far from a medical professional.

Satire only works if it’s outlandish enough not to reflect a widely held belief, even if it’s a stupid one.

General advice: Forcing it rarely helps. Baby steps!

Driving advice based on the above: Get in your car. Turn the engine on. Move your car a meter forward or back. That’s enough for today.

Then tomorrow (or some other day, no pressure) move it a bit further.

At some point you’ll hopefully be comfortable taking it on the road. Do it in the middle of the night, or some other time with minimal traffic. You don’t have to go far, you just have to experience driving on your own terms.

I hear most anxiety when it comes to driving isn’t so much the act itself, but more to do with other drivers. My idea with the above is to make you at least be comfortable driving on your own, and hopefully you’ll be able to ease into it with the few cars you may encounter.

And just for the record driving in heavy traffic is awful for experienced drivers too.

That is A LOT of sequels/remakes. I probably don’t need to state my opinion on franchise recycling, as everyone has heard it all before from someone far more literate and irate than I.

Looking forward to Project Hail Mary, though. While I’m of the typical opinion that movie adoptions rarely hold up, I am cautiously optimistic about this one for some reason.

Oh, and I’ll probably watch the Paw Patrol sequel in the theater with some of my kids.

I’ve been meaning to try learning mandarin for quite a while now, as it would be useful for me at work, but I find duolingo to be annoying and focusing the least on what actually enables me to remember anything. Especially since I don’t have much use for written mandarin.

Privacy depends how it is done. I for one would probably not be comfortable with a video call. An audio call of some sort would be better, as it can be done reasonably anonymously.

The only real limiting factor is my family - If headed somewhere that isn’t work related, it would only make sense that they come with me, which increases cost, so driving only.

As for flights, sure, if it’s only me. I’ve accumulated enough points with most airlines to upgrade my seating to something really nice for free.

That’s really insulting to rats

Steam + Proton, for the most part. Lutris for Kitten Space Agency.

Great movie, and even greater acting. Nurse Ratchet is the ultimate villain.

And I learned embarrassingly recently that Danny DeVito is plays that grinning patient who always looks at other people’s cards.

Vit D is one of the easier vitamins in that you have to take ridiculous amounts over a long period for it to be a problem, while really small doses once in a while can still be helpful.

1000mg daily is considered a lot and is used for treating a high/severe deficiency. Despite not being deficient to a diagnostic degree I take a pill now and then (every few days, whenever I remember) to make sure I’m not deficient, since my region doesn’t really get any sunlight this time of year. I guess it averages out to maybe 200mg daily.

All day every day. I’m a linux user both at home and at work. The only closed source software I use is Bitwig, steam, and (most of) the games I play.

When I need software that does X, and I have multiple alternatives, my order of preference for exploring goes like this:

1. Anything that can be installed via apt-get
2. Same as above, but with added repos
3. Something found on github with a release ready for download
4. Same as above, but I build it myself
5. Closed source
6. Paid closed source

(Notice how snap isn’t in the list?)

Of course, quality of the software matters, which means the list isn’t 100% accurate in all cases. Bitwig is paid closed source, but I prefer that over Ardour, and it’s IMHO miles better.

Two bananas for accuracy, so that the viewer knows the size of the first banana

I always considered wanking to be synonymous with masturbation, penile or not.

Is wanking a gendered activity, though?

Wanker.

Anyone in this thread who’s not?

I’m at a point in life where I’ve got most things that I need, so there’s not a whole lot frivolous spending to for me to do. When time allows and I have some extra money, I get another flight lesson logged. And once in a while I order another batch of electronics from digikey. Beyond that I mostly put money into upgrading the hundred year old house I live in.

EDIT: And an obscene amount of PETG for 3D printing. But I feel that at this stage that’s almost like groceries at this point, as most of what I print is functional/useful stuff.

I blokk har man vanligvis nok nisser som naboer

Can confirm. I used to meet many angry fluffballs like this while skiing. They’re hostile as hell, but they aren’t really capable of actually attacking, so they mostly just squeek/scream at people passing by.
