Gave up on making it pretty... But my tip is to read the manual so you know what you put in your config instead of just copy paste.

I love tmux, does exactly what I need it to do and doesn't try too hard to make the terminal a place with unicorns and fancy GUI magic.

I don't know, maybe I got used to it real quick. When the new (and better :P) coke zero came out people didn't shut up about it, so would be strange if they changed pepsi and almost nobody noticed. But I did have that happen with beer though, a beer I liked started tasting real bad, then I had it for the first time in 10 years or more last summer and it was good again. Think tastebuds works in mysterious ways and changes a lot more than we think.

Carlsberg Sverige and Ringnes AS (also Carlsberg), I'm guessing it's made locally.

Haven't notice anything with the Swedish Pepsi max and I'm drinking _a lot_ of it. Didn't get the flu yet so my taste buds should be good! Coke zero got a lot better after the new recipe if you ask me but still a Pepsi guy :)

You have to learn that fridays and saturday nights aren't when everything fun and exciting happens. Takes some getting used to.

People need to know that when they read about "Sweden" it's often about the central parts of Stockholm. Plowing is not a culture thing it's a political decision for public roads.

I don't have Netflix every month anymore. The content is getting more spread out over so many of these newer streaming services. Before it was ok, Netflix was cheap enough and had most of what I watched, but no more. It's getting too pricey to keep around just out of convenience. I'm on a really tight budget so it matters.

I recently got locked out of a site because they screwed up validation. I used a gmail alias to sign up, [email protected], couldn't submit, couldn't trick it to submit anyway because who uses a real submit these days... I went there to cancel a subscription, decided it was easier to block them from taking the money than to contact support.

But it's not just putting a finger on the trackpad, that doesn't trigger a click. It's a really quick tap. But I'm not out to convince anyone so do your thing :)

It's not through the ears so it's different, it's not like talking with the vibrations and bass from the throat. It's a milder voice for me but it's still more like I'm hearing my voice than anything else I think.

Oh good. Think everyone here is trying themselves right now. I don't really see anything when I picture stuff in my head, it is more that I know how something looks or should look or could look and it's much less than a picture, but for sure more than words. And for the inner voice, I hear my own voice in my head, it's like I'm talking to myself all the time, like a crazy person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Swearing a lot at ducks while fishing, never got more than a quack back so far and I hope it stays that way, but I'll keep my ears open!

Other than the show changing since the move Spotify just isn't a good media player, and it's a shitty podcast app.

A while ago I looked up the company that made mine, think they closed down in 1966 or around there. So it's at least that old, but could be 10 or 20 years older or even more. Use it every week :)

We still have "radiactive chernobyl pigs" running around the woods here in Sweden. Meaning that in some areas that got hit by the cloud that blew in over northern europe, wild boar dig around and down to 1986 soil levels and over time accumulate caesium or whatever it is.
