    What does it mean to predict what will replicate? I’m just starting my study as of this year and this interests me, do they mean “how well the paper will be recited?”

    Sick, I don’t listen to metal at all and I’ve saved Lifespan of a Moth to my library halfway though my first listen. It’s currently playing full blast while I get things done. Thanks for that....

    Thanks for that.

    King gizzard is absolutely one of my favourite bands of all time. Polygondwanaland is my favourite album of theirs. There’s so much going on and I love the Arabic sounding (I think) tone ladders.

    Thanks for introducing me to Say Lou Lou, I dig them. I’ve listened to the rest too, good stuff. Got a good laugh out of supercalifraglicious.

    Sometimes when you visit a record store, you might decide to play that one album that caught your eye, and you discover it was just the thing you’re about.
    This is how I discovered The Flock’s Dinosaur Swamps. And similarly I’ve discovered Through The Looking Glass by Midori Takada (I’m not actually sure how specifically).

    (This might be a coy to expand my personal music library but let’s not think about that).

    I’m genuinely curious!

    I’m working on a system that arranges what I’ll be eating for the coming couple of days, with the idea that it’ll save me money and prevent food waste by managing ingredients cleverly.
    Right now, I’ve built a backend using Craft CMS, running on a raspberry pi at home, in which I can enter recipes and ingredients. Each ingredient has an expiration date, each recipe knows how much of every ingredient it must use.
    The system will send me a shopping list periodically and I will check off what I’ve bought, this way, by definition, the system will know the contents of my fridge within a week without me having explicitly fed everything in.

    Furthermore, I’ve built a frontend, and modified a kobo e-reader I’ve had lying around to display the recipe I’ll cook today and tomorrow. I mounted it on the wall, and seeing as it is an e ink display, it works gorgeously with my physical location: the sun sets into my kitchen when I cook, and the display is clear as can be.

    I still have to code the logic for meal planning (it’s all figured out, just not implemented.)
    It’ll take into account how often I’ve eaten each recipe, what recipe is (nearly) cookable, and if something absolutely has to go away, it’ll select the cheapest ingredients to throw away (and alert me of the waste, so that I can do something about it a head of time.)

    Off topic but I get the sneaking suspicion that you’re Dutch? :) ( I read “pretty average that” and that made me think that.)

    I love good coffee, however I found that just buying good beans and using a percolator works for me :) Easy and consistent.

    That’s pretty accurate. Have you heard/read Gaiman saying he doesn’t consider this rape rape? I think Gaiman is into the business of writing stories that could be true. They don’t necessarily need to avoid conflict topics.
    In my opinion, I’d rather be confronted with such things being possible (rape for example) than not see them brought up at all.
    I do get your point tho, having the protagonist rape someone ought to be a turn off to people looking to relate with him.

    Consider this too: the series focuses on Dream’s emotional growth. He gradually becomes less of a dick as the series progresses.
    Maybe Gaiman wanted to make dream rape someone so that later he could regret it.

    Specifically, the navigation bar would disappear and so will the bottom bar. Leaving you only with tildes, and no “browser”. Try pinning Instagram to the homescreen, for comparison.

    So jealous! So you read through the individual comics, and then decided to buy the absolute edition? I wonder if it has extra bits and pieces sprinkled in on top of the original works...

    Written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by various brilliant artists, The Sandman series has definitely had an enlightening and positive influence on my life. Much like Dream will say, it feels like the comic speaks true words.
    For me — and I struggle with having had no role model — this comic series provides exactly that, in a way.

    I wonder, whether people here have read it, or bits of it, and what their opinions are.

    I definitely would! Hi haven't a clue where to start but I suppose there are websites I could read up on, I entertained the idea before.
