  • It’s sold in quite a few different countries. I get it from Woolworths in Australia.

    I can’t really remember what spam tastes like, except that I recall not liking it as a kid; I think it was too salty and too spongy for my liking. This product seems to have a meatier texture than spam though. I’ve tried it a few different ways and it’s quite enjoyable. I even use it as a burger patty replacement. Slice it up, fry it, and it pairs well with cheese and tomato sauce.



  • I’ve been using Linux on and off for years and I’ve never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don’t know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I’m looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I’m also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would’ve expected these to be in /mnt.





  • There are stories I greatly enjoyed as a child that I just can’t read anymore with new context.

    I remember finding out David and Leigh Eddings abused a child that ended up being removed from their care. I tried rereading their books and only a couple of chapters in there were men discussing the importance of beating a child to enforce discipline. I glossed over this as a child thinking it’s just medieval culture, but as an adult knowing that this is evidently something the authors genuinely practiced I couldn’t continue.


  • The Harry Potter series was such a prominent part of my childhood. I remember my teacher reading the books to the class as they came out. I loved every moment and eagerly looked forward to each book release. It is truly a disappointment that someone I held in such high regard has decided that making other people feel bad is how they wish to be remembered.

    JK Rowling created a magical world that has evolved and surpassed her in every way.


  • I agree with this order. TPS is a slog. It is almost entirely comprised of traveling across the map and then traveling back the way you came except everything just respawned. Over and over again.

    The 3rd game makes item drops boring. ‘Legendary’ gear is ludicrously common which makes anything sub-Legendary pointless. There’s no excitement when a legendary item drops because they always drop. The story also does not compare with the second, which was awesome, or even the first, which was pretty good.

    Borderlands 2 also has a pretty good VR port that I highly recommend.
