Deep Funk

It's a great feeling to go through books after a long slough being unable to stomach more than a few pages at a time. I really should be reviewing, but I somehow ended up tearing through the bulk of Anthony Ryan's Raven's Shadow series over the last week.

I keep my Kindle stocked. If you read digitally, check out https://www.bookbub.com , it's a daily email letting you know where some free and really cheap ebooks are. Some are trash, but there are some good ones interspersed in there as well.

True but the fact is that no matter what as you get older you lose neuroplasticity that you had when you were younger.

Try Duolingo! Its a great language app. I need to get back to learning vietnamese

I like Duolingo too. Actually studying at university now.

Amen to that. Come to think of it, back in the day in high school even this felt like a luxury. I changed the wristbands 3 times on my 2004 vanilla G that continues to work flawlessly and is presentable enough to be worn routinely.

I have a G-Shock solar atomic. Now that I moved to Asia though the atomic no longer syncs of course

The metal G-Shocks are awesome. Thing is I cannot justify buying one right now. Allow for nato-straps and yeah I would pick one up. A G-Shock on a leather nato, that is next level toughness...

Color me jealous

Hemp oil it’s better then smoke... just saying... lol

Smoking dope and Drinking alcohol is like pissing into the wind

Do gage the wind's direction. You do not have to be completely sober to be able to do that.

Never heard of it, but may add to my list. I started the original Dragon Ball series this month and have the DBZ Blu-rays waiting. Always wanted to watch them growing up, but never got around to it.

Just gotta watch boku no hero academia man.

YYH was one of the best shows from my childhood. I've watched the whole thing loads of times and I still plan to check it out again. I think this is the anime that popularised the tournament arc?

Leave it to Windows to update itself into extinction

It is annoying. Finally restoring the T420...

Lenovo was good for job security for our IT hardware guys.

I balance out the caffeine with alcohol in my coffee.

This book is about the "Ikigai" method/philosophy. Japan/Okinawa inspired mindfulness. They must be too partial to green tea...

My wife has switched to decaf for this reason (less stress). She's finding the transition a bit hard, but overall feels better for it. I can't fathom it!

Well almost Happy Birthday then. I'm sure it has something to do with how our perception of time changes the longer we're alive, but of course I can't prove that. Enjoy every moment Radjah.

Be happy! Wait until you are mid 50

Once you have kids, the days feel like years, but the years pass like days...

Impulse-buying gear (or other cool stuff) is my personal pitfall. Sigh, school better be worth it :P

(Kidding, I'm honestly having loads of fun here)

First time playing super mario rpg? I picked it up years ago and tried to play it... I just found it really tame. It's like a babbies first squeanix game. The graphics were really good tho. I also didn't care much for their attempt at wacky humour, I assume it was a translation issue. They got the translation down good by the time paper mario came around at least.

I never never did have Super Mario RPG as a kid. If ever my Switch gets boring I need to bust out the SNES mini to give it a go (same with Secret of Mana)

reminds me of my early days in DC. I could hear a cockroach climbing the wall in the night. Kept a shoe by the bed, haha

I was at a workshop last week and the person next to me had a laptop with the loudest fan on the planet, but it seemed like no one else noticed it, including the laptop’s owner.

Loud laptops with 5400 RPM hard-drives are no longer welcome in my house. 7200 RPM and isolated or out. Some manufacturers are the worst at isolating their hard-drives...

Does this happen when you try navigating via the banner or just while you're browsing the subfora regularly?

This happens when I somehow manage to go to the non-secure version of the site. As long as I stick with https, the login issues go away.

Delete your browser history and cache, flush the DNS, reload the https version of the site and the logout issues should go away. Marv updated the site, but you'll have to follow those steps to force load the new version.

Yeah, what’s up with that? I was listening to them the other day, what’s your favorite track? Mine is spottieottiedopaliscious

Difficult. That album flows like water. "Ego" had something special...

I found I really didn't like the album at first, but that changed. It took about four listens before the songs dug their hooks into me. Right in Two is my favorite, but Vicarious and Intension are close behind.

I hope that whenever they release their next album, it's not a serious departure from their previous catalog. The latest A Perfect Circle has me worried. While I enjoy the album, only a few songs harken back to the classic APC sound.

Good call haven't listened to that album in ages, for shame.

Super Mario Bro's level 8-4 was the orginal action RPG

Well I missed out on that one. I am just happy to have fun again with something as silly as an old SNES game.
