Kentarou Miura. Berserk is my favorite manga, I discovered it while going through a really tough time, and it helped me a lot. I read it a couple times over and over, and I impatiently waited for new chapters.

A couple years later, Miura-sensei died of heart issues, aged 54. Felt like a slap on the face, after all those jokes about how he was never going to finish Berserk because he was playing too much idol master. I still cry about it from time to time, when I have a bad day.

Rest in peace.

Let me guess, Mallorca? I’m guessing the tourist places are more lax in that aspect, because there is no way you can smoke inside where I live, the pubs can get a very big fine if you do.

I don’t know where you went, but since 2011 it’s been illegal to smoke indoors in Spain. It’s still legal to smoke on outdoor seating in bars/restaurants, but fortunately that’s going to be made illegal as well.

I don’t like this composition of names, go for Viola.

Huh, so that’s why filloas de sangre are a thing. I always found it weird but it makes sense now. TIL.

Colors outside physical color space?

It didn’t actually break, they’re just playing nuclear Russian roulette.

I use suspend-then-hibernate on my laptop (arch). It has a Nvidia graphics card, so it gives problems sometimes, but it mostly works fine.

I set it up like that in case I disconnect the laptop, so it will hibernate before running out of battery; it will also hibernate after 16h of being suspended (to save power), but I usually turn it back on before that.

I like suspending because my laptop has an HDD, and it is way faster to turn it back on this way.

Maybe there’s not a huge difference, but the power usage of suspending is definitely lower, since only the RAM is getting power. CPU and disks have some idle power consumption, and you can have some background processes that wouldn’t be executed while suspended.

That reminds me of the Florence whale incident…

Never try to blow up a whale carcass, kids, it doesn’t end well.

Fair point about removal; but if you’re being bombed, I think asbestos is going to be low on your list of worries.

France is bacon… Just kidding. Not exactly mishearing, but I misunderstood “the best defense is a good offense” as if you defend super well, you’d attack your opponent with your defense. It didn’t make much sense until I realized you’re supposed to attack in order to defend…

I don’t know about the US, but in Spain if you steal less than 400€ it’s not considered a felony, just a lesser crime, and they let you go with a slap on the wrist. Not saying that cops are going to follow you around until you steal more though lol.

I disagree, my grandpa used to hunt wild boars and I have eaten them a couple times. They’re delicious, good meat.

October is going to be a great month to get a cheap second hand computer.

Are American sidewalks so inexistent that you can’t walk there instead? Driving so close for groceries blows my mind.

When you peek from a rock, close your mouth 'round the clock, that’s a moray.

Dang, we were so close.
