not to be that guy, but it's crepuscular. My cat is also corpuscular (quite fat), but that's on me.

Gaming Pet Peeves
when you can rebind movement keys (I'm an esdf player as opposed to wasd), but it does not rebind consistently. So a map is panned using wasd still, or menu browsing is, or even basic movement in a mini-game, or driving using a vehicle etc. It seems developers rarely really test anything but wasd...
Worst was cyberpunk, which always jettisoned me from the car in a super dramatic leap... on every right turn. XD
edit: also, when rebound keys are not represented correctly in tutorials or prompts.. ugh.

I'd guess the point is rather that women tend to research their potential assailants/murderers/lovers before dates, which is easier to do for people that share their shit on social media.

"If you can't convince them, confuse them" also kinda works here..

What's your favorite movie?
His Girl Friday (1940)
The best screwball movie ever made. Fast, funny, but with an edge. Doesn't feel it's age to me at all.

Voiden - A Markdown based Open Source Alternative to Postman
Played around with it. I love the idea and it's already pretty usable. It needs some QoL tweaks (allow resizing response window, add visible scrollbar, small stuff like that). Moving away from postman to this for work.

What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?
In Dutch: 'graftak' is a beautiful way to indicate an annoying/terrible person. Literally: 'grave-branch', which sounds nowhere near as satisfying.

What is something you enjoy doing but suck at?
I've been playing Clonehero drumming for about four years now. Nearly every day... and I still suck, miss pads completely, piss poor timing, no groove. Still enjoy it.

I've been told it's usually at night because it's coldest, and batteries work less well the colder they get. Makes sense to me, still sucks though.

Smart T.V. Privacy Overview?

monitors are generally made to be viewed up close - if video quality is no issue, then a commercial display /digital signage is also okay.
however, a good detailed list of tv aspects would help with even that choice.
not shooting any option down - just wondering about available resources/information.

same - why try to decipher someone else's often flawed attempts at translation, when the original text is available?

because those candidates also sell easy answers to their fears. they make it seem like they can fix things, definitely. the fears are specific, simple, and aimed at selling specific solutions. people don't vote to be scared, they're scared into voting for a perceived authoritative saviour.
I think this is an oversimplification, but still makes sense.
