GIMP: The Movie (2026) | Official Trailer | Starring Pork Johnson
It took a few years for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story to go from a fake trailer to the real deal. I have hope!

Peter Jackson made Braindead/Dead Alive.
I think you misspelled Meet the Feebles.

Well, shit! Looks like it's time to try EVi, then.

When you are not employed but need to go to a workshop/conference/public events that require you to lost out your company and title, what do you put on without sounding awkward?
I put down SparkleChicken Heavy Industries, Chief Engineer. We manufacture motorcycle parts and satellite guidance systems.
The SparkleChicken thing existed long before, but I used SCHI so many times that I designed a logo and bought the domain name. Every time I spin up a circuit board for a personal project, I get the logo silk screened on it. Been pretty fun over the years.

That was the one that got me hooked on SMBC.

For both native and non-native English speakers: what word or phrase do you find especially difficult to pronounce?
Native English speaker here. Aside from catching crap for regional accent differences, I didn't have any noticeable, repeating problems until COVID. I can't, for the life of me, properly pronounce comorbidity. Even when I really concentrate on it, it tends to come out as comorbibity. It really makes me sound stupid as hell.

Decaf beans
I'm getting ready to make my late night flat white with Two Brothers Radiance Decaf. They're a local roastery I've been checking out recently, and I really like them! Aside from the Radiance decaf, I've also tried their Brewhouse Dark, which was exquisite, and I have a bag of Morning Drive ready to try soon.

Fountain Pen Store Recommendations?

Long story short, the Goulets helped start a chapter of a very right-wing, anti-LGBTQ+ church, so you can figure that 10% of everything you spend with them will end up funding hate.

That was one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen.

Adding a vote for Jetpens. I've bought some pretty expensive pens from them, and their customer service is stellar.

Organics Studio Nitrogen is a really finicky ink
Nitrogen is the most ill-behaved ink I've ever used. I tossed it out when the bottle was still 75% full since I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Easy migration from vim?
Reply in thread
Not necessarily migration, but just developing a familiarity with it. I'm assuming that after 27 years of vim, my brain is going to react like it's witnessed the Color Out of Space.

Fountain Pen Store Recommendations?
Have you looked into the Pilot Explorer/Lightive? It runs about $20, and has a really nice nib. The Pilot Metropolitan shares the same nib assembly, is a metal pen, but can run a little bit more expensive. If you're willing to pick one up from Amazon/AliExpress/Etsy, the Hongdian 1851 is less than $20, metal, and a great writing experience. It even comes with a converter, so you're not stuck with cartridges.

I've done a ton of business with both Atlas and Goldspot. Nothing but high praise for both of them!

Thank you for the expert assistance earlier! You were amazingly helpful, and sent me down a new rabbit hole learning about the movements!

Got me sum hyprland
I tried out Hyprland about three months ago, too. I was enamored for a couple of weeks, and then found out about the toxic community. I switched to i3wm and have been a very happy camper ever since.
I've been a Linux user since '99 when the Windows 2000 beta pissed me off enough that I swore to never return. In all that time, I'd never installed a tiling window manager. It turns out that the tiling WM is what I had found the magic in, not Hyprland itself. As nice as Hyprland looks, it's pretty easy to get 90% of the way there with i3wm. Plus, it has all the functionality, without enabling toxic assholes. If you want to stick with Wayland, Sway is an implementation of i3wm in Wayland that is compatible with all the i3wm config files.

I have a lot of experience with the regular Casio watches, and use an AE-1000W as my EDC. Build quality is excellent for the price, but the clear plastic on the front can be prone to scratching. Unless you're an incredibly light sleeper, a watch alarm will never wake you up. Sorry I don't have any information about this specific watch. Wrist-worn step counters have never worked that well for me since I guess I don't move my arms when I walk. They work if I put them in my pocket, so I've defaulted to just using the step tracker on my phone.

What is the general consensus on AVI-8 watches?
Reply in thread
Thank you! The Wingman Worldtimer is the one that I'm looking at, but I think I'm leaning more towards the titanium Timex. Shock resistance is an added benefit, as is the tougher construction. Not that I do anything too adventurous, but I am one hell of a klutz. The AVI-8 sure is a pretty watch, though!
