An orange in an apple orchard
I remember reading about the bento box design of the ThinkPad some years ago, and not really seeing it. Because most of the devices I had seen were from the stack-of-notebooks era of design, and then one day I came across what these old as !@#$ models looked like. And then I thought to myself, yeah, I can see that now.
This video is one of those kind of ThinkPad.
10 Best Tsundere Characters In Anime, Ranked
Not a bad list, IMHO, and mostly from series worth watching.
Most of the characters also have particularly strong relationships and interactions with others, rather than just being your typical tsundere fodder.
Kirisaki Chitoge and Alaska Tiga in characters that I’ll probably remember well beyond how long I remember their respective series, lol.
Chitoge and Raku’s largely antagonistic relationship is what really makes Nisekoi worth watching, and cackling at. Meanwhile the plot stretched over two seasons might be reason to smack people upside the head. Incidents such as the locket search early in the series, and the great mother problem towards the end, are very telling of the characters’ respective natures. I find it kinda awesome how much those moments really tell about them, despite the hilarious antagonism, lol. Combined with her personality, which is pretty awesome. One of the few characters that got a footnote in my anime worth remembering, as being a character quite worth the remembering.
While I’m not a big fan of drama, Toradora! is kind of hard to forget. Taiga and Ryuji both have a few screws loose, and their undeniable partnership is pretty fricken amazing. As oddballs, more than a few good jokes are also generated along the way. I doubt that most people actually have someone in their life with a relationship like Ryuji and Taiga’s, and those that do are probably better off. Give or take if either of them are tsunderes. Compared to most anime, they also become very well developed characters by the end of the story.
On the flip side, I identify with the Toradora character, Ryuji, far more than most anime characters. So I consider the series even more worth watching than most, lol.
10 best skateboard stickers for defiling your new 16-inch MacBook Pro
While I’ve always felt covering laptop lids in stickers was kind of tacky, I’ve got to admit: I’d so put that Bones Brigade Ripper on a laptop. And probably can blame this article for my sudden urge to play Contra 3.
Full disclosure: I’m tacky enough to have finally done the sticker thing when I got my old Latitude. Had a Hulkbuster decal laying around, and it struck me as the kind of laptop Tony Stark may have been issued and tossed in a desk drawer somewhere. Thus the host name and lid sticker begging Iron Man references.
Willow: “I am a furry hobbit, therefore I deserve three times this many treats.”
Corky: “Does human shower in gravy? I must find out!”
Misty: “You should have food in hand when rounding the corner.”
Also the suggestion that dog food be eaten instead of yet another treat may be considered very insulting…
Over the last fourteen years of using vim, the rate at which I discover features and commands probably slowed a lot after the first six to eight years. As knowledge of awesomeness expanded, and business reasons limit my lurking in #vim irc, the the intake has been kinda slow. It didn’t really take long to learn enough vi to be highly editing effective, and some years of using vim all the fricken time, will probably teach anyone most of the important stuff.
Today, I discovered a new-old thing. Or had one of those “Where have you been all my life?” moments.
I often find myself copying a path; usually done via tmux’s copy/paste features, as I’m a keyboard whore, and not every terminal I rely on lets you use a mouse so readily for that. And then pasting it into a vim command to open a file, be it :e[dit], :tabe[dit], :sp[lit], or :vsp[lit], or even just to go do `vim somefile’.
Today, I was doing a fair bit of find commands to go look up a file, because when you have a solid state drive and some people like dozens of folders in nesting, sometimes that’s faster than remembering enough for tab completion.
Then I had a thought, “Hey, isn’t there a :find for looking up files? There’s gotta be a way to open those results in a buffer.” And of course there is!
Much to my disappointment, :find foo doesn’t really search many places. The default path on *nix is something like ., /usr/include, and the heck a trailing coma means (path=.,/usr/include,,). Which is great for something like :find sysexits.h but not so much for crawling a directory structure. But there’s a solution!
:set path+=**
:find foo
-> suddenly qux/ham/spam/eggs/and/yippee/ki/yay/foo opens in the current buffer.
There’s a fair number of vim things that I’ve learned over the years, and don’t often need. On an occasion they teach me good things when I am smart enough to go look for them again.
I’d like to think that two of these should be enough to fill most people up for dinner. Eat all four and you’d need a nap.
While I don’t usually make tacos like this, I can’t help but think if I had made a large batch of rice, I could have basically packed three large lunch containers with rice, beans, and a folded taco on top and call that dinner for the week. And then ate the rest, lol. As it is, I still have leftovers but not at that scale.
But those containers are already full of beans and macaroni, and not available. The other containers aren’t big enough to include the taco on top, so they’d end up needing separate packing for the fridge.
Willow just wishes tacos were for doggies.
Smart doggos:
Willow’s comfy in the foreground, Corky has claimed my pillow, and I’m not even sure if Misty’s snoot sticking out from the blankets in the middle can be seen in the photo, lol.
If I run a split screen on my 23” at a usable font size, I arrive at approx 119×52 characters of display.
Comparably, if I SSH into my machine with a font size easy on the peepers for the 11” screen, the results are a very respectable 109×32 characters display. Which is probably the Shelly app’s default, or a notch or two above.
Running iVim locally, with a default font that’s hard on the peepers unless using the external monitor: 149×47 characters.
Generally, I aim for about 80×35~45 characters as a terminal. Going around 160 is when I start consider :vsplit windows viable instead of relying on regular :split windows. Maybe I’m weird but I tend to like having a source file | header file combo in my vim session, when I’m afforded a big ass editing surface.
Thinking about these numbers, I kind of hope that Apple fixes the brokeness for keyboard/mouse support. I can use my keyboard, or I can use my mouse, but the moment that both are connected, iPadOS 13.2.3 decides that keyboard I/O should become like packet flow over a smoke signals modem. Which makes me less thrilled to dock my iPad until OS 13.2.4 or 13.3 happens, and cross my fingers that I won’t be stuck waiting until iPadOS 14.
I suppose that I could try pairing another Bluetooth mouse to see if for some reason, it simply hates my Logitech mouse, but I don’t imagine that I’d be that lucky with how much of a buggy mess iOS 13 has been.
Not sure how I should feel, when I find myself thinking that much of my childhood will probably end up in a museum before I die from advanced age, but this series might be worth watching.
10 Must-Watch Anime Turning 10 In 2020
Not sure if the ratio between on my watch later list for years versus yeah, I’d say watch that; is a good or bad ratio.
Also, this reminds me that I never watched the finale of Maid-sama. That was a surprisingly good comedy.
