@nprofile1q... I was in a 737 taking off, and the captain came on and said "folks we have a warning light on in the cabin. It's probably nothing, but regulations say we have to land again and get it cleared. Sorry for the delay."
Landed the plane again, and once on the ground he said "hey folks sorry for that little fib earlier. What actually happened is we lost the port engine. But I didn't want to worry you until we were on the ground. We'll be transferring you to another plane soon."

The thing my editor needs to be able to do is raise and lower terrain from within the editor. Changing the height map in an external tool is becoming a pain.
@nprofile1q... Do you want Populous? Because this is how you get Populous.
@nprofile1q... Moving UK to US I was gobsmacked at how *ist "normal" people are in the US. Just absolutely open and casual about it - they don't even realize they're doing it. So yeah I can see how going the other way would be refreshing.

@nprofile1q... Yes! Good. That's a goal. You can do a thing with that goal - you can "finish" it :-) OSes and languages... not so much...
The problem I've got right now is I can write software at any level of the stack— programming languages, webtech, GUI, graphics programming, I can actually make my own CPUs, not good ones but I can ...
@nprofile1q... Writing OSes is like writing your own language - it's a trap. You will spend a gigantic amount of time on it, and then... it doesn't run anything interesting, and nobody else wants to use it.
Look - I understand hobbies - I really do. But people put way more work in than they would a simple hobby because they dream that these will be useful to someone else. And then they never are.

@nprofile1q... Small niggle - it wasn't clear that the narrator was a specific person (Mr. Tao) rather than an abstract character. I only realised at the end and had to go back to find their name.
Was in Italy for a few days. We made a stop in Austria and people are just more chill there. You can just notice the difference. I have no doubt that Germans are kinda annoying in Europe to many other...
@nprofile1q... I figure the Austrians are more chill for the same reasons Canadians and Scots are more chill - providing contrast to their annoying neighbours :-)
