As an American, anyone who claims the Imperial system is better about anything is lying or stubborn. An argument could be barely made for Fahrenheit and even then it’s not worth it.

I definitely thought “hmm, this one feels very out of character for Rembrandt” but would never have thought there were any other painters with that name—thank you for pointing this out!

Also apparently and unsurprisingly the Peale Rembrandt was named for the van Rijn.

I think that I’m the one who doesn’t know now, since this one seems to be correct but almost everyone uses it differently on other sites…

For better or for worse, this is normal. Habits are never really easy to be honest, and they remain easy to break forever. I tried to make a habit out of flossing. I did it for awhile, and it almost felt like a habit I formed anew, but then one day I skipped it and it was all over. Hell I skip brushing my teeth sometimes and I actively have to avoid falling out of that habit too.

I don’t know if that helps or not. But I believe almost everyone feels this way about habit formation. I think you’re just more aware of your choice. Everyone does the activity consciously but most people aren’t really analyzing it in the same way as you describe.

I used Arch for many years. The biggest problem I had was if I didn’t update packages for awhile, it would often seem like my next update would lock up in dependency hell. Doing it often I never had that issue, so if you’re pretty rigorous with it I’d guess it’s probably better.

I’m not as familiar with the regional variations of ramen! This looks delicious. Mind sharing what some of the distinctions of it are compared to other tonkotsu-style broths?

I mean, maybe. Can always just join or spin up another instance. It's like the Hydra -- you cut off one server, and two more might pop up in its place. I think this will allow it to reach a nice community equilibrium, where vertical growth might be balanced by horizontal growth.

Could be wishful thinking though.

I think it's likely people will flock to one server (I came to this one since it was fastest growing) but thanks to federation, popular communities on other servers could still be accessed -- it's awesome!
