@scribus I know! It's like a kick in the groin into my bank account. The leadership in Canada has stupid high demands in profit and we haven't reached them 7 years in a row. Also a ton of people here don't have a billable project, which is also not a good standpoint to ask for more.

@scribus One of the episodes was a backstory episode that shows how Benson got the position of the manager of the park. So your remark checks out to some extend.

@scribus Sounds quite the reason to cancel the session. My last week's session was cancelled because one of our group is a teacher and had to correct this year's final exams in computer science and mathematics and had to do twice the load because a teacher is ill for almost half a year.

@scribus Six seven!!!

@scribus I walked multiple times into the low-hanging ceiling lamp from the previous owner in my current home. I cannot fathom having anything than low profile ceiling lamps. A ceiling fan is for me a death sentence that would lead to my decapitation or to severe brain damage.

@scribus I watched the trailer afterwards on Youtube and it was quite the opposite reaction. I was more leaning towards that the trailer was doing a misfavor to the movie.

@scribus Yeah. The soil is pretty compacted due to walking on it and quite clay-y. I spent 10 euro bucks for a bag of this seed. If it won't work due to my own incompetency forgetting to water it in the next weeks it'll be not a huge loss.

@scribus I used a felt pen like thing that had a liquid that destroyed the ink color (only blue ink) and the other side of the pen had a regular felt pen to write over the part as new ink would be erased on that spot. We called it "Tintenkiller" - "Ink killer" (the normal word is "Tintenlöscher" - "Ink eraser").

@scribus I am glad not having to use fountain pens. From grade 3 to 10 I had to use fountain pens with cartridges, just standard Lamy and Pelikan pens. My sweaty hands were always covered with ink because the ink didn't dry fast enough or just pickup by my sweat. Also the ink eraser smells are nasty. At home I have only the cheapest BIC ball pens and Kuru Toga mechanical pencils.

@scribus If life goes down the crapper it's appropriate to use toilet paper as a fitting metaphor.

@scribus This title sounds like a title a 8-year-old would choose who has been around teenagers and trying to be edgy and cool, and failing so due to not knowing anything in life and due to strict parents not knowing curse words as well.

@scribus No. Never had any romantic relationship. It's most likely the trajectory the world is heading towards to and the general financial problems and life dissatisfaction.
-
@scribus I get you. I had a similar reaction at the first episode but I got quickly used to. Production schedules are always a mess. Many cogs in the system with any points of failure with as many compromises. I don't believe they did it on purpose stretching the release as they did. I think there are most likely scheduling conflicts and creative differences in the way.
My mother regularly asks me when new Outlander episodes will be released and I have to console here that's taking a long time to film. On top of that I have to wait for the German synchro to be released for download. -
@scribus No. I can see past that. It's unfair to point that out as the actors can't do anything against that. I bet CGI doctoring would look worse. It's less aggregious

@scribus Yeah. It sucks when the series updates very irregularly. I am still waiting for new Saga issues, however they keep on waiting. What's worse is buying into a series and shortly after it being cancelled. Happened to me a few times. I also bought the first issue and all future issues got cancelled like "Trust Fall" https://www.amazon.com/TRUST-FALL-English-Christopher-Sebela-ebook/dp/B07RF2YMCV Looked amazing. Synopsis amazing. Cancellation not so. In a weird way I trusted the series and they let me fall. In hindsight wonderfully meta.

@scribus I own the first Elegoo Mars SLA 3D printer. It uses an array of UV LEDs that shines through an LCD that masks the areas that exposes the UV-curing resin. That is below the resin VAT that has a very sturdy, slightly flexible and transparent bottom. The actual model that is 3D-printed is attached to a parallel platform that moves up (and down) such that the exposed resin is at the defined layer height. Sadly it's not that cool-looking. It needs about an hour of print time until the printed model can be seen while printing. It's also a source of my anger as a failed print takes that time to be detected.

@scribus Great

@scribus I don't mind being rich myself. HAHAHA. It would solve so many problems. Becoming rich without needing to be a dick is the only problem. The lottery is not feasible.

@scribus The CEO was probably a very good person and had not accumulated any bad will from anyone ever affected by them. /s
-
@scribus Yeah. At this point a cheap thin client like a HP T630 could be considered as an alternative to a Raspberry Pi 4.
-
@scribus I've seen American Psycho, Phone Booth, Bladerunner 2049, and Morbius. So my count is the same. Morbius was the only film I deliberately watched to see Leto and even my pretty low expectations were somehow challenged by his bizzarre acting. Besides that everyone was idiotic in that film.

@scribus I'd probably say that there is not enough food for the volunteers to give out.

@scribus About 18 years ago I had to do mandatory military service but I opted to do community service at a nursing home instead. There I saw a guy, 40 years of age, completely devastated by a stroke and unable to speak and barely move. Freshly graduating school that was shocking to see.
