Kurosawa's eye for frame composition is practically unmatched to this day.

This is a double-edged saber, so to speak. The quality of Star Wars projects has dropped off in consistency lately, however the overall popularity has increased. I'd say this is likely to retain the same value over the coming years as it has experienced from its origins a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

I'm same age as OP and love Skrillex. Pretty in the loop with tech. Use they/them when asked without complaint. Am out of shape though, need to work on that part. Still miss my Commodore VIC20 and IBM XT though.

This guy Jesse on Alone Season 5 was running out of food and had read about native tribes creating bread from tree bark, so he stripped some off a pine tree and ate it. It seemed edible but hard to pass. The video shows the aftermath, basically he had to tap out and be rescued due to severe abdominal pain. However, apparently it is a thing, I'm not sure how you could do it in a way your stomach can handle though, and most likely it has to be specific species of trees.

Interesting, I bought one once and didn't like it. Much rather use a real mechanical keyboard, and they make plenty that are compact.

Anyone who appreciates this one and hasn't read the entirety of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations (compiled into book form) really should. Many gems of stoic wisdom therein.

I love this. As a software engineer, I see people run into this issue all the time. I've often heard it as, "Done is better than perfect."

Just FYI, that quote from your girlfriend is not original. Good one though. I believe originally it's, "Better a bitter truth than a sweet lie," but I'm not sure who said it first.

Here are a few off the top of my head (though I looked up the original kanji for some of the Japanese ones)...

To enjoy life's immensity, you do not need many things.

• Ryōkan, a Japanese poet

Ain't no shame in holding onto grief, as long as you make room for other things too.

• Bubbles, from the last episode of The Wire

Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do.

• Kaladin, from The Stormlight Archive Book 2 by Brandon Sanderson

Beware the difference between intelligibility and correctness.

• Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Success consists of moving from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

• Winston Churchill

猿も木から落ちる (Saru mo ki kara ochiru)

Even monkeys fall from trees.

• Anonymous, traditional Japanese saying

正勝吾勝 (Makatsu agatsu)

True victory is victory over one's self.

• Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido

Imagine doing that while someone's having coffee shits a stall over. Imagine being on the other side of the line. Maybe you should drink more coffee and the problem will solve itself.
