NASA.

I was PMing a student project for NASA and the sheer number of tabs and files I had open on my PC killed Windows.

I had a week until the deadline and I'm in a situation where things may or may not save, basic functionality was questionable and I had literally thousands of pages information to format and get out.

Once I turned it in I installed Linux and never looked back.

Wood cutting boards are two to five times the price of bamboo. Also bamboo is naturally anti-microbial.

Most houses already have dull knives, heck most people throw their knives in the dishwasher. There is no way to keep your knives sharp perpetually, resharpening will always be needed eventually.

I'd rather people focused on size and weight over material. A bigger board is more useful, and safer as you have room to place your hands and your food. A heavier board is safer as it won't slide as easily.

If you like how the board looks you are more likely to keep it out, use it and clean it.

Buy the biggest, heaviest, prettiest board you can afford.

Just eat them.

There is no trick that will make you think an apple is actually pie or make kale taste just like potato chips.

Try new stuff. Go to the Asian grocery store and buy random fruits and veggies you haven't seen before and try them. Worst case you hate them, but you seem to be there already, best case you love them.

I think the later DQs are enjoyable, but they feel stagnant.

It's my problem with many games. Rarely does something new come along. This is likely a function of age alongside growing up when video games were new and completely different ideas and genres were formed. There is still innovation, but I feel JRPGs haven't had anything new in a long time.

I don't remember dragon warrior 2 being that bad. Maybe it's a ROM issue, maybe young me was more comfortable with a constant grind.

3 is special. It shows it's age, but it's very very good.

4 is a little more uneven, but I think it's the first RPG to change your perspective/main character across the story. Also it has the best story of any JRPG I have ever played.

I hope one day you get the help that you need.

Exactly how have I abused you? You keep claiming that, but all I've done is talk and notice that you have some views that aren't very healthy or stand up to scrutiny.

a third of the U.S.

You believe that 1 in 3 people would support a racial genocide? Do you have any support for that?

Following that up you claim that everyone wants to kill you. Doesn't that seem a little paranoid to you?

No one here is attacking you or threatening your life. No one. People aren't insulting you, even though you are insulting everyone. Your world view is being questioned because it doesn't seem healthy or rational. People aren't saying "I think you are wrong" because they hate you and want you to "submit" but because you appear to be very unwell.

I know that my life improved when I changed my outlook, and I think you are clinging to unhealthy views because it makes it easier than trying to better yourself.

Could you give an example of something you are blamed for that you weren't alive for?

It's shocking how far you will go to avoid the idea that people aren't out to get you.

It's interesting that any pushback you is evidence you are correct. It's also interesting that you take no responsibility for any difficulties you might experience, it's always the result of someone else's choice.

Which is it? Your choices don't make life more difficult or they do and that's why they are good?

It is common to develop a drug or alcohol addiction as part of a coping mechanism. That can absolutely make your life more difficult. Coping mechanisms can make it more difficult to make changes that will better your life.

The path of least resistance isn't always the easiest path.
