- Comment on In your opinion, what is the best English localization of an anime name? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah “Delicious in Dungeon” makes no sense in the same way “Attack on Titan” makes little sense. HOWEVER.
That narrator going “Mmmmh, Delicious in Dungeon! Ooooohh, delicious in dungeon!” at least once per episode is just absolute perfection and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
- Comment on What do you consider the saddest anime? 2 weeks ago:
Lots of good contenders in this thread. I’ll just add
Made in Abyss
for the scene where...
Nanachi tries to gather the strength to end Mitty’s suffering
I have never cried so hard during any other piece of media, ever. My GF had to hold and comfort me because I just couldn’t stop sobbing. That scene just… struck a nerve, I guess.

Not completely, but yes. But in pan with some oil and fry them, as you’d do with the Gunciale

I’ve recently been enjoying this recipe: essen-und-trinken.de/…/57421-rzpt-wirsing-pie
And my go-to is to make Carbonara, but replace the Lancaster/Guanciale with 2-3 of the outer, leathery savoy leaves cut into black width strips (vegetarian carbonara, basically).
- Comment on Zero to Hero 2 months ago:
Had both. So many people here have recommended different Brussels sprout recioes that I want comment on this. But steamed or boiled broccoli just sucks compared to seared or roasted.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 2 months ago:
Deal
- Comment on Zero to Hero 2 months ago:
Salad + garlic bread. Final offer.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 2 months ago:
So why not just do bread?
- Comment on Zero to Hero 2 months ago:
I’ll be honest, those look ok. Might try them and maybe upgrade to 0.75/5.

A recent survey (n=1) has come to the following conclusions regarding goodness of members of the Brassica family:
- broccoli: 5/5. Godly. Fry in pan on very high heat, severly searing the outside, but keeping the inside crisp.
- savoy: 4.5/5. Very versatile. Easy to grow yourself. Smells amazing.
- kale: 4.5/5. Must have in winter.
- green cabbage: 4.5/5. Cheers from Sauerkraut country!
- turnip: 3/5. Alright. Sometimes nice to have. Great raw with dip.
- cauliflower: 2/5. Tastes like nothing. Only this high up because my
control groupgirlfriend loves it. - Brussel sprouts: 0.5/5. Technically edible.
- Broccoli, cooked: warcrime.

Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.
But that wall clock is glorious. It’s a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you’re cooking.
I’m currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I’ll have to find an alternative for this clock

- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 3 months ago:
For me personally, there is only two applications of LLMs in programming:
- doing tasks I kinda know how to do, but don’t want to properly learn (recent example: generate pgf plots from csv data in matplotlib. 90% boilerplate, I last had to do it 3 years ago and vaguely remember some pitfalls so can steer the LLM in that direction. Will probably never again have to do this, so not worth the extra couple hours to properly learn
- things I would ordinarily write a script for, but aren’t worth automating because they won’t come up in the future again (example: convert this Lua table to a Nix set)
Essentially, one-off things that you know how to check for correctness.

Nvidia Shield. The bigger one.
Yes, it’s a couple of years old at this point, but it’s still the best device of its kind.
Not to mention the remote is FANTASTIC.
- Comment on We lost Keanu 4 months ago:
Because while he dresses it up as scientific theories, he’s just spewing unfounded conspiracy theories?
Because this stuff is a conversation starter in the same way that “the moon landing was staged”, “the earth is flat” and “chemtrails turn the frogs gay” is?
Because instead of actual scientific education or archeological documentaries, this is the shit that gets funded? Because who knows how many people will now believe that his fanfiction of a theory is a legitimate interpretation of humanity’s history?
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to come off as condescending, I really don’t. But his entire “documentary” is deeply unserious at best, and an outright lie at worst.

And possibly a drinkijg problem afterwards
- Comment on We lost Keanu 4 months ago:
That idea is just as ridiculous.

- Comment on Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Arrested in France 5 months ago:
No.
I’ve been using it for 10 years. Back then, it just started out as a chat app with group support - just like Wahstapp, but free (yes, WA used to cost money) and way better than SMS.
My entire social circle switched to it, and has been using it ever since. Why? Because to this day, it’s easily the best chat app, feature wise. Literally every time WhatsApp or Signal or Threema add a shiny new feature, Telegram has already had it for a while.
Since Covid however, there is a huge stigma attached to it, and I do get why. It’s sad, really. I wish there was a 1:1 clone of Telegram’s chat features, minus the Channels (or whatever they are called).
- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 5 months ago:
Yep, same here.
Samsung TV cannot reach the internet. Nvidia Shield is running Flauncher as the default launcher. I watch all my content through Jellyfin and SmarttubeNext.
I have not seen an ad in years.

I know it’s been three weeks, but thanks for telling me about this! I might actually do this, for the projects here and there which aren’t packaged into nixpkgs (yet).
