I did not, though admittedly there's a world where Rian Johnson takes pointers from some of R1's action sequences and TLJ is even more clearly the best SW movie of the last thirty years.

The Last Jedi, especially if you don't take into account The Rise of Skywalker's sloppy reaction to it, is the best Star Wars movie since ROTJ, and maybe since Empire.

I was doing alright fora while, but apparently

spoilerSlovakia five years ago looks like Romania twenty-five year ago to me, LOL.

The Silmarillion is definitely the "Bible" of Middle Earth, and its structure, content, and style all reflect that. I was mostly just cracking wise about the similarities.

I live less than ten minutes from a decent enough multiplex, but I only go to one or two movies a year, when it’s a project I am excited for and the spectacle of the thing makes the giant screen, giant speakers, and properly darkened viewing room outweigh all the incredible advantages of watching at home.

I still don’t get any popcorn though. If I’m into the movie enough to deal with the… ugh… theater, I don’t need to bother with overpriced concessions.

Close enough

This would have been an insane delight to have heard Bowie roll into a set you were at, but as a recording I'm not hearing him do enough different with the vocals or arrangement to keep me away from Zevon's original.

Yes, but the 400 had it on a spillproof membrane like you'd see on a fast-food cash register. The later models improved the layout but most had much worse switches than the 800.

Some of the younger folks won't understand this vibe, but older folks know what an exhausting beatdown they're in for if Florida goes from mildly surprising to consistently good. Our entire cultural DNA is based on a man who's basically a hillbilly Bugs Bunny.

 

I've got a couple of DIY boards with tactiles in them. One of them is gonna get solenoided.

Let's take her out for a spin...

EDIT: annnnnd two crashes on the x86_64 AppImage in twenty minutes, both when attempting to start a sketch on a face. Could easily be my Kubuntu install, but... sigh.

EDIT2: Seeing that some issues might be related to changes to the Appimage framework. I'll need to see if I need some system updates. Windows version is running smoother, though my middle mouse button stopped working for some reason until restarting the app. If you haven't tried FreeCAD in a while, give it a shot; you may be pleasantly surprised. If you have, it's not a vastly different experience than recent daily builds or Ondsel (RIP).
