RIP in peace, Bobby.

I use a PowerBook G4 running MorphOS.
My parents never bought me an Amiga when I was little, and I've been making up for it ever since.
Best of both world is to work remote for those northern companies while having lower cost of living down south where the darkness of midwinter doesn't hit as hard.
Inspired by xkcd's thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
They were never a thing in Europe.
The sewage treatment is not built to handle that kind of stuff. The sewage pipes aren't too happy about it, either. I might flush some carbs down the toilet. The poop-munching bacteria at the treatment plant get a nice growth boost from it. Grease not only clogs your own pipes, but causes issues for the whole city. I think it's possible to get fined for it if you'd get caught starting a year or two back.
Food waste goes in the trash or compost. If it goes in the trash it's burned at industrial temperatures to burn clean. The heat is used for district heating networks.
Dragged through what?
Gee, I can't imagine why they chose to drop this bomb today.
It's like they wanted it to be drowned in other news.
My wife is definitely team 'make it from scratch'.
She is also a very slow cook. We also have an infant that is currently taking up 110% of our time.
It's hard for me to justify spending two hours a night preparing a lunch for the next day. She likes to sleep in, so I never get to eat it fresh.. it's always leftovers.
I don't mind cooking something fresh for lunch or dinner, but I'll do something that takes 20 minutes of prep and then take care of itself on the stove or in the oven. Chilli, pot roast, or a casserole.
I think frozen dinners probably have a better balance of protein/carbs/veg than either of us makes, and at half the price.
It was a shiny EGA card.
On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.
My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.
If we're talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.
I'd go somewhere in-between to keep things dry.
Condensation around windows and outer walls make great growing grounds for mold. 15°C is the recommendation here.
Shit can happen. Boilers break. Leave your faucets dripping and run your circulation pump off of a battery and inverter to save your pipes.
I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn't originally do VGA.
I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.
Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.

Louis Theroux tried to make a documentary about them. He's done some really good work showing the worst groups in the world as, you know, actual human beings. Like the westboro baptist church.
The Scientologists refused to talk to him. Him talking to ex-members unleashed a stampede of harassment both against them and him.
The result is called "My Scientology movie". It's worth a watch if you're interested in their techniques to keep people from leaving.
