    I finally watched the Good Place! It was incredible. I woke my wife up last night sobbing during the ending.

      What I would give to experience the good place again for the first time.

      Definitely one of the GOAT series that really doesn’t miss a beat from start to finish. And such a rare piece of media in today’s times that is basically pure positivity.

        Yes, it was in that exact sweet spot where it was good enough and popular enough that it got to tell its story, but not of such broad appeal that they got pressured to keep it going. I’m sure the theology and philsophy don’t hold up, but it was funny and smart and heartfelt and I loved the entire run.

        ESPECIALLY being from Jacksonville. :-)

          I guess it depends how you evaluate “holding up”. There are inconsistencies and holes in the way their system works if you look at everyone as omniscient, but it’s pretty clear they aren’t, so most of the stuff you can point to could just as easily be explained as not understanding the system fully. I’d say Janet is the hardest to reconcile in terms of continuity, though.

          There are a lot of real examples of real philosophical dilemmas, and the show does a good job of showing the cruelties of some of those systems in a visible way. I think Chidi is absolutely believable as at the level of knowledge of a philosophy professor. It’s worth noting that a core trait of the field is questioning the actually unknowable, so there isn’t a “real” answer to compare to.

      I discovered that show last year, binged the whole thing in 2 days, then immediately asked my wife to watch it with me and I binged it again. We both loved it!

    I’ve been writing a software library that parses a military communications standard. Every time I push updates I get a hundred or so downloads immediately, and I’m probably on a watchlist now, but the code is fun.

    Composting.

    It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it’s good for… plants, or something… Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that’s when I learned about it.

    I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn’t get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that’s when I knew I succeeded.

    Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it’s good for something, right?

      Add some red wriggler worms and you can get some great soils addendum out of it. The castings are fantastic fertilizer (they don’t like onions, garlic, and citrus as much though).

      I’m planning on putting together a composter this summer. Do you make coffee every day? If so, do you generate too many spent grounds and have to throw some away?

        I make coffee everyday. I brew about two teaspoon of coffee once a day, sometimes twice.

        I’d say I’d never generate too much coffee ground as it’s really easy to handle. It pretty much has everything it needs to make compost, yet it can also help other stuff too, be it onion peel, banana peel, green onion bottom, eggshell, ash, you name it!

        I recently found that it really goes well with leftover fruit pulps. My wife likes to make juice and would filter it sometimes. That leftover would then sit there fermenting for a few days. In a few days the spoiling fruit smell disappeared. I think I found one of the best combination I could find!

          Thanks for the info! That’s about how much I use, too, so that’s great news.

          There was also a time in my life when I made triple B (beets, bananas, Battlestar Galactica berry) smoothies daily but I stopped because I got tired of dealing with the pulp…might be time to start that up again…

      I started saving grounds because i heard they were a mosquito repellent. When mine molded i threw them away. Good job learning the better way!

    I started listening to Garbage. I’d heard a few of their songs before but I had no real opinion. Caught one lately and something clicked. Haven’t heard a bad song yet.

    1. Delicious in Dungeon. It’s delightfully bonkers in a way that works for me as a very occasional anime viewer, and for all of the gore (actually middling to low for the genre, I guess), it’s damn near kid-friendly in its wholesomeness level.

    2. On a brief break for the moment, but in the last year I’ve made 7 hand-wired computer keyboards.

      That’s neat. For what purpose- better response? Light up? Aesthetics?

        Because I can? LOL.

        I do try to make to make boards with layouts that are slightly unique from anything I could buy, just to lie to myself and pretend that I “have to” make them. Latest kick, which simplifies construction in a couple of ways, is making boards that have no key wider than 1.75 “regular” ones. Means I have more real estate to play with and don’t need the notoriously noisy “stabilizer” hardware.

        The kind of soldering you do with a handwire is also sort of relaxing, like tying fishing flies, except you burn your finger every once in a while.

      was wondering about the age rating on this - my kid loves anime, one punch man esp., but this looked like a potential watch for us both. Think a mature 13 year old would like it?

        Yes, that’s probably about perfect. There are a few human deaths, occasionally with a fair amount of blood, though it’s fairly stylized, and part of the lore involves the banal commonness of resurrection spells, so I doubt it would be too traumatizing for a teen. The rest of the gore is non-humans and often almost more like a particularly unflinching cooking show.

        There’s only a little bit of “nudity,” and it’s thoroughly PG-13. Then the character interactions and themes are pretty gentle overall, though I guess there’s some realpolitik trouble brewing with some of the supporting characters.

    Making my own baked beans in tomato sauce. I’m trying to get it good without adding sugar, and have a killer recipe ready for when I visit my family next.

    It’s incredibly cheap and delicious and satisfying.

        Lately I’ve been throwing everything at it to see if anything inspires. Gochujang, soybean paste, smoked paprika, powdered ginger. And the usual stuff like alliums, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil…

        I give it about an hour to simmer in some extra been water, then another hour to braise in the oven.

      Gordon Ramsay has an excellent baked bean recipe that I make semi regularly, it does have a little sugar in it but it could be removed.

    I’ve played Rocket League a little bit since it came out, but I was never very good. Past couple months, I’ve been playing a lot more, and actually making contact with the ball in the air. I still can’t get past Gold, but I’m guessing the base-level skill has gone up a bit since it launched, or at least thats what I tell myself. I seem to destroy in casual and mostly get destroyed in ranked.

      Ahh… Snowday was my go-to, and was what consumed most of my 3300hrs… I recently went cold turkey since they made Snowday only available every so often, and I simply just need to stop playing it. It took up too much of my time (clearly). Maybe I’ll install it in the future, but for now, I’m cool with the extra time for other activities (and games).

    Digital kitbashing for tabletop minis: using 3d modeling programs like Blender to hack together elements from different mini model files, in order to make custom minis to 3d print. I’ve even started playing around with rigging them so I can repose them easier.

    Slay the Spire, a roguelike deckbuilding game. I thought that sounded horribly boring but decided to give it a chance, and I’ve been hooked on it. Playing on the Steam deck is perfect for this game I think.

    Biblical scholarship. I’m an atheist but after listening to Data Over Dogma podcast I’ve become very curious about the history of the Jews and early Christians and how the respective bibles were brought together.
