Bach. Anything after that's pretty cheesy...

Wow, yeah, are we sure those aren't just some 2025 Oregonians??

Does peanut butter count? I eat it on carrots, dip dark chocolate bars into it, sometimes just scoop it with a spoon. Yum.

amazing pic!!

With Rattle and Hiss, the Slither brothers...

batten down the hatches!!

I don't even have a basement, so... fingers crossed a tornado doesn't come right to my place.

I basically read two types of books. One is lit-nerd stuff (Joyce, Pynchon..) where you can read and re-read and still find new things, find communities online of people discussing it, read it with a friend and share what you got out of each chapter, etc. The other type I do is more immersive sci-fi/fantasy (Rothfuss, Stephenson, etc.) which I read for totally different reasons.... like you said, an escape into another world.

TV makes me feel like a spoonfed zombie. I'm trying to watch Severance, and it's good, but I hate the feeling of being hooked, tied to it, and having to sit there and binge it. And they're doing all the imaginating for me. I much prefer to spend that 50 hours with a good thick book. No judgment on how other people like to do it... I just prefer the quiet of paging through a book!

Same. Because of the halos, right?

I keep hearing about this thing. Does it really do all the photoshop things? adjustment layers, masks, dodge+burn, all that stuff? and I guess, does it do it well, with big files?

Yeah, that. Opaque means no transparency. Easier to read/work, or see a picture/video without background stuff mixing in with it. But for my non-focused windows, I'm not actively working on those, so rice it up, transparency all the way! (but still add blur to those, just so I can read them if I need to....)

I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.

Ah, glad to hear it! I'll definitely give it a whirl, thanks.
