No that would probably be the xfce equivalent.

Replace the patterned wallpapers with a solid paint tone. Decrease the visual clutter.

I’m okay with swapping out the side chairs in the hallway with hall tables, though I’d go with a natural walnut tone rather than the uber dark espresso. Or hell, even a nice glazed black cherry, very warm. I’m also alright with doing away with the 4-post beds. My philosophy is why waste the wood on a footboard and posts out of some misguided search for fanciness? If you’re going to hang mosquito netting or actually do the old fashioned drapes to keep heat in, that’s one thing, but nobody does anymore.

Sorry my woodworker’s hanging out, let me tuck that back in my sock.

I would like to invite everyone who has ever carpeted a bathroom on an exclusive 4-day weekend in the genital blowtorching booth.

Yeah most space age material names are. It’s dacron wrapped in mylar surmounted in inconel plated in clyno and attached with velcro. Which of those did I make up?

See? It’s working.

It would have to be some horrid acronym for something like KDE Library Integration Tool Offering Recursive Integration Services or some shit.

Common dictionary words are not trademarkable. In fact, if an existing trademark becomes common in speech it becomes genericized and the trademark is lost. One of my personal hobbies is doing that to Velcro.

That, and you’ve got to remember how big iPods were at the time. In 2007, it was weird that Apple was entering the cell phone market. The iSomething branding basically saved the company in 2001 with the iMac and iBook, the iPod was the first electronics gadget I ever remember being worn as a status symbol, the first that got treated like designer clothing or shoes. That “I have an iPod, and you have…whatever that is.” White headphone cords were a fashion statement. The Motorola Razr phone got the same treatment before the iPhone.

No, you should touch klitoris or finger klitoris, not bash it.

man klitoris

no manual entry for klitoris

Well that explains a lot.

Eh, you’ll find neighborhoods where most or all of the houses share floor plans.

They’re not exactly manufactured on an assembly line but the same architects and contractors will end up doing an entire area, they’ll get a few designs approved and then they can just stamp them out. If your neighborhood is a warren of cul de sacs that’s probably you.

Then there’s the neighborhoods of Sears houses, which were literally ordered from a catalog.

Been meaning to get into the Craftsman style, I’ve had a kind of shaker aesthetic going on with most of my projects.

Milennial gray works when you buy like a couch or something in grey, and then install colored accents around it. Red curtains with blue table lamps. If you do the entire place in shades of gray you’re just…dead.

I might do a solid color on the walls rather than the textured wallpaper. The shot of the bedroom in particular, the wallpaper is just too busy.

No, 3 hours 56 minutes. That’s my 100% all achievements glitchless hardcore time.

They’re hateful, but they’re cute.

I started doing challenge runs of Subnautica. I enjoyed playing it, so I tried some different play styles. Then started making a pretense at speedrunning it. My PB is 3:56.

It’s a short game.

I have played 2 in EA. So far they’ve gotten the artwork right, it looks like a Subnautica game should. It’s mechanically similar, swimming feels right although a bit slower. The story…let’s just say it makes it look like Riley had it easy.

I’m not convinced BZ’s on-land setpieces aren’t just broken.

Subnautica: Below Zero.

Subnautica is one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. My understanding is there was enough of a shakeup of crew behind the scenes during BZ’s development that it effected the final product, and it’s evident that they didn’t know what about the first game was so good.

Every single area in the game is a twisty turny confusingly self-similar maze of corridors. The twisty bridges, the sea monkey dens, the icebergs, the glacier, the lilypad caves, the crystal caverns, the wreck, the game is a bunch of mazes. The story doesn’t make sense, the characters kinda suck…I’ve played it through 3 or 4 times, and that’s probably it. I’ve played through Subnautica dozens.

My mother got into Blue Prince. Which meant I had to help her with it because she’s not used to PC games, Steam was weird to her, she’s a Nintendo gamer and it’s not on Switch.

There’s a remarkable amount of art and lore and content in that game, but Falalalala la la la FUCK the way they used RNG.

Doesn’t scale.

It works great. That’s basically how it’s done in aviation, flight instruction is inherently 1 on 1, so I’d assign my students to do some reading and then it was pretty obvious if they’d done that the next flight based on who was asking questions. The ones that did the reading will come in asking me to clarify something, if they say “Yeah I read it” and I have to do the clarifying they didn’t read it. Oral and practical tests are the standard, show me you can fly the plane.

To make that work, most professional pilots have to be flight instructors at some point. It’s almost certainly the first flying job you’ll get after earning a commercial certificate, and thus spend at least some time doing that job. You’re not going to get that in most college classes, so where are you going to get the labor necessarily to give an oral exam to every student in every class?
