I'm Brazilian, in my middle 40s. When I was a little kid my best friend used to carry a blanket around. Neighbors called him "Linus" for years. But I'm confident it was because of the TV show, not the comic strips.

There's no little great in embedded videos or, at least, my local newspaper actively disables it.

Tbh, from your nickname you wouldn't agree with this person's claims either way.

(I agree with your point, tho)

You'd think that, but I'm as much a critic of the worst parts of the furry community as any outsider.

And, to practice what I preach, here's some evidence:

Interesting enough, where I live we also can have domestic workers without being filthy rich. But we've seen the exactly opposite problem: people trust a single product for everything and will use the least amount of it because "it's good enough". The current person working at our place uses dish detergent to clean the entire house unless we tell her everyday to not do it. The previous one used bleach, and ruined most of our bath and hand towels.

It's Zed's

I own a 1997 VW Golf that, other than the front wheel vibration, is identical. It seems 20 years later VW was doing the same mistakes.

My first thought was "why would anyone want to ditch LaTeX?". But it's been almost 20 years I left academy, so I knew I would be missing something.

Reading the comments reminded me of the pain.

I didn't see anyone mentioning, maybe it was me "holding it wrong", but boy what have I done to get proper references. After a year or so writing articles I had an unfailing process to get them right, but whenever I tried to explain it to my colleagues I heard "yeah, ok, I'm staying in MS Word".

I also did a pixel-perfect template for my university. As a programmer, I never felt so ashamed of sharing something. I felt like it would be selfish to keep it to myself, so I did it, but it almost physically hurt me. After 10 years people stopped emailing me asking for help. Maybe they fixed the template or just ditched LaTeX at all.

As I'm planning to get back to academy next year, it was good to learn about Typist.

I'm feeling dumb, but that seems a really different RailsConf than I was expecting.

Once I was getting off my jeans to do the Royal Squat and they decided to barf my phone. It fell like from 30 cm high, hit the ground exactly on the corner. Screen cracked edge to edge.

Who can afford space for a junk drawer in 2025? If junk wants to be my roommate, it better pay the rent.

I'm joking and completely agree with your point about lack of hyper stimulation, but I'm also a bit serious. About ten years ago I started getting rid of things that would entertain me once or twice a year mostly because of the real state they use. Now that I quit all social media I remember why I used to keep all that stuff around.
