  @Testament said in Good TV: The Umbrella Academy - Nothing like the Dark Horse comics at all, but honestly, I think I like this televised version better. It actually makes some amount of sense. Klaus is my favorite thing.

  For the love of all that is holy.... can this flu be over? I've been sick since Tuesday. I don't know the last time I was sick this long. Today is the longest I've been conscious since it fully set in on Wednesday and I've only been awake five hours.

  Worked my first whole week at a new job that doesn't make me wanna gouge my eyes out. Also, from my desk I can see the little fortress of web dev on the horizon and I think -- soon. Not today, but soon. For now? Head down, nose clean, eyes straight and workworkwork and practice practice practice.

  I never cared much for their music but when I was a teenager in the 90's, I developed a mad crush on Peter Tork from watching reruns of the old Monkees tv show on Nickelodeon. Has it really been over 20 years? Le sigh. RIP.

  I got a medical accommodation request to be allowed to work from home to deal with some auto immune disease issues. - I've only been working from home not even three days, but the difference is AMAZING. Not a single migraine, my pain levels have stayed way lower, it's just... if this is the new normal, I might be able to do more than work and lay around in pain!

  @Testament The reason I went with the hardware I did was to try and make it so it'd be a long while before I'd have to upgrade/replace, if possible, and also wanted to try and get as much bang out of everything i can. But I will definitely give everything a look and all that. Thanks for the advice. :)

  I am in the process of moving into a new home, it was supposed to be unfurnished but apparently the landlady just sort of walked out of the front door and left everything but her clothing, bedding and TV? Like there are mugs in cupboards and towels still here. Needless to say this makes things profoundly awkward and there are now two houses worth of furniture crammed into the place while we try to contact the owner to ask her WTF. Obviously my main concern was my cats though who, after a five hour journey in a pet carrier, were horrified and immediately glued themselves to the back of a cabinet where they could hide until they scary removal men stopped scarily moving furniture. The plan was to keep them confined in one room for a day or two but the fluffy black thing escaped and started exploring, also lounging on stuff: Now they are running up and down the stairs like lunatics but I cannot get a proper picture of that due to excessive scampering. They were in an apartment before so stars are new and exciting for them both. The cats continue to explore, atop wardrobes: Enjoying stairs: Looking cute in front of windows:

  @surreality It's not something I encounter often with myself, because I tend to be pretty aggressive about my boundaries, and really upfront in my communication when I feel like somebody's being a jerk to me. But -- yeah, feelings got involved here, and so I didn't really defend my own feelings as much as I usually do. In the end, my heart feels pretty bruised, and it's lingering in a really frustrating way, but I'm mostly angry at the other person rather than myself. (Mostly.)

  So I watched the Alita movie, taking advantage of being in the UK where it released last week (I have no idea why?) It suffered from some 'time compression' where stuff that in the manga took a year+ seemed to take place over days but frankly? I really liked it, the huge eyes actually worked just fine in practice and I honestly found Alita really compelling as a character with how she was played. The action scenes were utterly phenomenal and despite how ridiculous it was I was completely sold on Alita just being that fucking good. She was fucking people up despite being vulnerable and them presenting a real threat, she was just too perfectly lethal and agile and really came across as a force of nature who was still very much a young, idealistic and opinionated person. Just one who was a peerless killing machine and was ultimately totally okay with this.

  @Ominous In brief: Sui generis in American jurisprudence is a term of art used to identify a group of classification that arises independent of others due to its special characteristics. In application, it refers to the power of a particular entity that is unique to its nature; for example, a court's contempt power. When raised in a legal argument, you are suggesting that a particular case either is inapplicable because it should be confined to its own facts or because the instant case must be confined to its own facts. When raise by someone pro se, it means you're a fucking moron.

  @auspice said in Any good inspiration board style websites better than Pinterest?: I actually really enjoy Microsoft's OneNote, but it's not a website. While not technically a website, you can access Office 365 from pretty much any web browser.

  @sab said in Phoenix, Arizona: Mesa's Art District is super, super nice, despite always forgetting it exists. There's tons of little specialty shops and street art and exhibits set up in random buildings. I want to co-sign this because I also always forget it exists except when I go to a show at the Art's Center and am then like 'Oh, this is actually a neat thing that exists in Mesa now.' Major props to the city for investing in it and revitalizing that area.
