    I rarely go with the same name twice. This one I like because it's very easy to type on my keyboard.

    He has definitely cheated online. But as far as I'm aware there is zero evidence that he has cheated in real life.

    It's one of my favorite shows of all time. I never actually visited the subreddit for it, which I did do for most of my other favorite shows. I just feel like there is still so much to think about before I really getting a lot of other perspectives on it.

    I recommended it to a lot of friends, but I think all but one didn't finish it. I can't blame them. The show is weird, and it changes in so many ways over just three seasons. I remember hearing season 2's theme for the first time and thinking: "What the heck?"

    Koyaanisqatsi and Waking Life are two films that a had a significant impact on me.

    If you happen to watch, and enjoy, Waking Life, there is also A Scanner Darkly. It's quite different, but uses a similar visual style (though more consistent/polished). It has an impressive cast too.

    Most of all, I hope Alonso vs Hamilton (vs Russell) will be interesting. It would obviously be best if they could challenge Verstappen, but (equally obviously) that's not realistic.

    It will also be interesting to see where Perez ends up. He could use some redemption via podium.

    My main annoyance with some of the keyboards shown in the article, is that they are not at all optimized for minimizing button presses. Though perhaps they are more optimized for finding the correct key more easily? Customization would be nice. Or some kind of innovation for inputting text with a remote control. But then I also wonder how much time people really spend using those keyboards (and whether it would be worth learning a new way of inputting text).

    "Downtime" is a good word. In the first few days after quitting reddit, whenever I had some time for a distraction, I'd find myself going to reddit in my browser, or opening up Slack on my phone (which now sits on the position where reddit used to be). It had become such a strong habit, and I'm pretty glad that I find myself being a bit more conscious about those moments.
