I'm gonna say: Requiem for a Dream

While not always too significant, many credit cards also offer points or cash back. I do the same as you (use my credit card for practically everything and always pay it off), and can use whatever points I get to make small mortgage prepayments, buy gift cards, etc.

Starbucks coffee, and even more so, their tea. Just doesn't seem like a good use of my money, since I can make it at home for a lot less money.

I like to make mistakes

On that note, you can edit titles in Lemmy, which you can't do on Reddit. So that's a pretty great upgrade.

I tried to do a bunch of small things. No single thing was the key.

• started drinking my coffee black
• drink more water, and drink water instead of other things
• I take the stairs instead of elevator/escalator whenever possible
• I try not to eat seconds at dinner
• "Real" exercise (like running, rowing, etc.) every other day, but if I can squeeze in extra ones, (e.g., 2 days in a row), I go for it
• If I'm not up for real exercise, I'll go for a walk
• intermittent fasting in the mornings, so often no breakfast, but not necessarily every day
• No snacking after 19:00
• At restaurants, if 2 options look good, go for the one with fewer calories

There are probably more, but those are the kinds of habits we're talking about.

Also important: if you don't stick to all habits, don't beat yourself up about it.

With the above, I was able to get from a high of 235 lbs down to around 180. I'm a bit more than that right now, but pretty close still.

I had to look up:

HHGTTG = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I just swiped your comment a short way, so please enjoy your upvote (which I can confirm worked).

Lifting: I definitely don't like while I'm doing it.

Riding my bike though: it's great to get out there early in the morning and explore, see nature, etc. with the bike, I also just like the feeling of speed, so the physical act of riding can actually be enjoyable.

To a lesser degree, the same can apply to running. I find that when I've been in better shape, I could experience that runner's high.

Been in early access for a little over 8 years, and it has been fun to see it evolve and grow over that time. They just announced that version 1.0 will release next year!

Other than the right to use the FIFA name, and call a tournament the World Cup, does EA lose anything else? I think that's mostly it, right? I'm going to guess most fans won't care.

Canada, but all of what you said sounds right.

I don't know all of his stuff, though Mother! was pretty stressful to watch.

... I did not know that. Good tip!

No Country for Old Men was great too, and it made a better transition to film than The Road, in my opinion.

When they installed it to my house, they left some of the bare fibre lying on the ground. It's a little thicker than the fibre you see in those "fibre optic flower lamps", but not by much. If I'm not mistaken, the blue wire you see in the picture is to help detect the cable after it's buried.

I'm all of those things, but not an active Linux user any more. Definitely been there before though.

Wasn't there a Dreamcast Ecco release? Not sure if it was any good.

I work at slice 13/14

I loved the first Foundation, but never read beyond that, for some reason. I know I have the first trilogy around here somewhere. I should dig up the other ones.

Do you figure there's a "curb cut" element to this controller? E.g. will some people of all abilities choose to use this device instead of a DualSense?

I work for a training department for a large financial institution. I think I could explain it as teaching people how to do their job better. Though I don't actually do much teaching, personally.

I've done both, though I have been typing mostly over the last couple of years.

There are those who feel that the act of writing by hand, while slower, can have benefits that typing doesn't. Not sure I believe that, though I do believe that for some, hand writing is just the more enjoyable way to go.

For me, I write in Org Mode, which for this purpose is kind of like Markdown. I use Emacs on my computer, and an app called Plain Org on my phone.

I bet most tall towers sway a bit, and are designed to do so. Though from the top, I couldn't feel it swaying.

I doubt a photo would be able to capture the level of sway that happens. The effect I captured in the photo I think is due to the subtle concave angle of the sides, accentuated by the angle of the photo.

I've liked the Jackpot series, but I absolutely adore the Sprawl series. I also loved the bridge series.

In Ontario, Canada, 500/500 fibre from Bell. I pay $60/month, though this is a promotional rate for 2 years. I think I will be paying double after the 2 years.

Oh, I hadn't heard of that.

BTW: what do you use now?

After you mentioned it, I had to check out Pi. I really liked it! If you haven't seen it, you should check out David Lynch's Eraserhead. I find it sort of similar, and also pretty fucked up.

I had this game my NES back when it came out and absolutely loved it. I still probably play through it every couple of years.

I played through the first one when it came out and really loved it. Never played the sequels though, for whatever reason.

This is probably just me, but I've tried to play through the original on an emulator over the years, and I had a hard time getting in to it. Just felt kind of slow from what I'm used to now.

I've had a Leap V2 for the last couple of years, and really like it so far.

I remember having Yellow Dog installed on my PS3 for some time. I was sad when Sony took away "otheros" capabilities.

Engine Summer by John Crowley. I'm only about 100 pages in, but liking it so far.

People seem to love Brother printers. I have an Epson Ecotank that seems to be pretty good so far.

I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It was okay, though I don't think it lived up to the hype for me. I actually preferred Klara and the Sun to this one, though still worth a read.
