@petebrown and @macgenie I see, thanks! I’ve never used any kind of pressure cooker so this was new to me. Reading the list of the things the InstantPot can do makes me want one.

@macgenie Same here, but also with the sense of annoyance over all these people – not just Billy – who want to be ”the next Steve Jobs” or who want to make their company ”the Über of [insert whatever]”. So annoyance over start-up culture in general, I guess.

@furstenberg You are kind of selling me on the director’s comments. So far I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie with the director’s commentary track, but maybe this will be the first. Thanks!

and tagged it with Star Wars The Last Jedi @odd You are right, off course. The problem is that I find the ignore part hard to do.
And that’s probably why I feel especially negative toward the idiots on ”the left”, rather than on ”the right”. The stupidities of ”the right” is fairly simple to ignore. Just don’t read their fringe publications. Ignoring stupidities from ”the left” on the other hand would require me to ignore so much mainstream press.
odd mentioned this note on micro.blog.

and tagged it with Star Wars The Last Jedi I am probably the odd man out here, but when I talk about my problems with the ”culture war” destroying my will to rewatch The Last Jedi, it is mainly not because of Evil Right-Wing-Alt-Right-Nazi-Incel-Hobgoblins, it’s because of their opposite yet still strangely similar counterparts telling me that if I don’t love this movie, it’s probably because I’m a misogynistic racist who hate people who aren’t skinny.
It’s gotta be possible to find a movie okay but not great.
@MrHenko Ctrl-Alt-Ignore them all, go see the movie and try to watch it with a fresh mind, and enjoy the parts you like. 🥳👍
@MrHenko Yeah, I think I see what you mean. I’m of no particular political affiliation, but I guess I’m a bit centrist, with some ideas towards both sides, and some completely my own. I try to get my news from independent sources (if some indeed can be called independent), and otherwise I read with those “ah, of course they’ll say that, being one of them”-eyeglasses. It’s tiresome, but I feel I need to get some information. There’s a lot of good info here on micro blog and the connected blogs too.

and tagged it with Star Wars The Last Jedi @furstenberg The Last Jedi will probably grow on me to once I rewatch it. The problem for me is that it got caught up in the stuped ”culture war” that we seem to be fighting on the internet every single day.
Was it that the commentary helped in expressing his intentions with the movie, or where they just fun/interesting comments?
@MrHenko So his comments enabled me to understand more of his intentions. I think it was very ambisious. I’m not sure I felt he succeeded. And in that lies some of my issues with the movie I guess.

and tagged it with Blu-rays Media management Physical media Yes, DVDs and blu-ray still suck but having to say ”no, we can’t watch that movie on this tv because it doesn’t have an AppleTV connected, so let’s go to the other room and watch it there” is worse and there are solutions.
2020 is the year when I start buying plastic discs again.

@adamprocter Probably, but it still worth it to have those days where you feel like you’re hitting it out of the park.

@adamprocter Good work! Those kind of days are so rare and so great, as opposed to those where you feel like you have at least ten things more on your todo list that should have been done that day.
@MrHenko thanks. I’ll probably find I introduced a load of new bugs in the background 😂 but it was good to have one hit at it and get it down

As I’m moving back from Christmas into normal work weeks, I need to get back into micro.blog as well.

14 januari, 2020 20:28@MrHenko I was pretty horrified by the power of Instagram aka Facebook. I had no idea. I think I had already quit by the time I watched the documentary, and it confirmed that decision to quit both.
