Whenever I hear about moths, I think about the moth scene in Lost between Charlie and Locke: https://youtu.be/kmXV5iOncT8?si=Wh_d_RCkKiclyiYF

I actually still like some LTT videos. I just find the thumbnails off-putting … so unless the topic interests me I don’t typically watch anymore.

I really enjoyed the Emily/Anthony bits too.

I hate the Steam Deck! /s

I mean, I’m half joking but I used to sleep in bed and now I waste like 2-3 hours on Balatro instead of falling asleep at an appropriate hour.

I think it can depend on where you live and dry heat vs humid and stuff, but in general I agree.

I would sleep with a fan instead of turning on AC.

Go for a walk in the mornings if a run is too daunting. Gradually go up.

A problem I had is I’m too dedicated to some things and will run a lot and then injure myself by going too often or beyond what my body is capable of instead of ramping up in a healthy way. Then I wind up doing nothing again due to injury.

It’s okay, it’s hydro powered.

I don’t know why in sci-fi or other fiction, I love it when they use Terra. Not sure why I find that more believable.

I just bought it based on this alone. Early-access and FPS games aren’t typically my thing, but I like the cut of this person’s jib.

Yeah, a lot of true crime involves grisly stuff and sometimes violent towards women that I sometimes need things packaged up nicer to get through an entire video.

Crash Course too!

Yup. I’ve just been purchasing games without the Verified tag now because I’ll just be like: “yeah that seems like it’d work and it typically does”.

I made the mistake of installing Stardew Valley on it for 1.6. Oof, I’m playing it everywhere. Very bad when you can’t handle your addictions well.

Yup, I didn’t buy the Steam Deck to do 4K ray tracing at 120FPS. I bought it so I can pick up any Steam Deck Verified game and play it without relative issue. Being able to suspend the game immediately and just knowing things work beats fiddling with Windows on a handheld.

lol, okay that made me chuckle … I liked that.

Although, we both eventually got into the jobs for what we studied for. We’ve made that jokes both in university and when we got into respective fields.

My geophysicist friend laughed at me for a little long when I said “I’m a computer scientist”.

I never took that degree/job position or whatever seriously anyway. I’ve always giggled at software engineering too. I just call myself a programmer.

How much of that is the NHS getting now? /s

Not really new but probably not that popular for everyone. It seems it was coined in 2010: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern. In the web dev space I was using it like 8-9 years ago, more or less.

At the end of the day, you never know.

I’ve had to remove a lot of recommendations. Man, PragerU, Crowder, Shapiro and Joe Rogan were in my feeds. Jeez.
