If I listen to my french education, then basically everything except the traditional French way of doing things. Thankfully as a well travelled man I’ve learned that others do figure out some nice cooking here and there.

Sad beige toys for sad beige children.

Yeah I love that feeling too and indulge it now and then but unfortunately there’s no way I can get my hair any kind of decent for the day unless I fully wet/wash them so I have to mostly stick with morning showers because fuck washing just my head and two showers a day is wasteful :(

I think they’re just a bit late with that first stage, the hard bit isn’t once you’re about to go in the shower, it’s stopping whatever you’re doing or getting off the couch/bed that’s the hard part.

I mean I’m no GTA fanboy and probably won’t get it (or if I do, much after it’s released and goes on sale), but I don’t think the comparison to FIFA is warranted, the last installment was released 13 years ago and the new one is sure to have a massive jump forward and will be a completely new game, whereas the footy games release every year without missing a beat with barely any updates besides the team rosters.

I don’t see enough people typing out the one in the sarcastic string of exclamation marks anymore, wish it would make a comeback.

That’s easier said than done btw, like yeah stockpiling some long lasting cans of food is easy and even if you forget them they’ll probably still be ok to eat but really what you want is to rotate that pantry so it has somewhat fresh stuff at all times. You also need water, which really is the Biggie here if the tap stops working. Of course also stuff for cooking/heating up if you have no gas or electricity into the house.

That’s pretty extreme, I think it’s the parent’s responsibility to make sure the kid isn’t a nuisance to others, but whether they require a leash to achieve that is their business (for what it’s worth, I also think a well behaved dog that isn’t causing any troubles shouldn’t require the leash). We tend to either remove ourselves from the situation if the little goblin starts making a fuss, or otherwise use carrying options (on the shoulders, in a back carrier, or, less and less so, in a buggy).

Currently camping in Scotland with temperatures ranging 7-20°c over the 24h cycle. It’s fantastic. We die when we do it in southern Europe summer. The problem is the price you pay in winter for those mild summers…

If they’re smart but using that intelligence towards nefarious goals that’s even worse.

Why did I start reading this to the tune of SpongeBob Squarepants and why did it kinda work?

I honestly wouldn’t lump all of YouTube in the same bag. At the end of the day it’s currently one of the only viable platforms for video-based essays and I personally find a ton of valuable stuff there. That said, one miss-step and your algorithm fills up with the influencer crap, so you gotta tread carefully.

Shame it’s at the bottom. That movie was my number 1 last year, and that’s as someone who never heard of them prior.

In these older years maybe that would change something but in the modern era the market is totally irrational and doesn’t react to news with any kind of sense.

And yeah I’m on DaVinci as well and it’s nice they’re trying and if I do cut off photography gigs that might be enough but for now, definitely not a stand in for LR+PS workflows.

To be honest I’ve tried affinity and it didn’t cut the mustard for my workflows at the time (maybe like 3 years ago). I’ll admit, having used LR+PS for over 20 years I’m very set in my ways, but I’m trying to cut out the photography jobs completely in favour of moving image and once that’s done I should be able to let go (though I still use PS for some stuff in the video work as well but at least it’s not my entire workflows…).

This is what I’ve been doing, most of my software whether for work or personal has a Linux version, however I’m still stuck with Adobe for now for PS+LR and can’t really be bothered with dual booting. As soon as I manage to replace those in a way that works for me professionally, I’m hopping over.
