Is that why I thought it was so shit? I was somewhat tempted to rewatch and see if it was any better than when I watched it on broadcast TV and episodes seemed out of order.

Everyone dies. You just get to try to make the leaderboards, if that’s your thing. There isn’t a killscreen that we know of.

Depends on context. If the context is “planning a holiday in El Salvador”, maybe MS-13 is relevant. Beyond being worried about impact on others’ lives, MS-13 is largely irrelevant to Americans and most people that I’ve encountered never heard of them before 2016.

Do you find your foot or hand size to grant you advantages in certain niche situations (ie getting the last pringle)?

I historically found that my flat feet make barefoot walking a lot easier - big, flat contact surface distributes the pressure over a wider area, making shrp rocks less painful/likely to cut.

This is fair and warranted.

Also, to be fair, Windows is a trash-tier piece of software that become little but adware/spyware in a trenchcoat, masquerading as an operating system. I ran an install in a VM a couple of weeks ago for the first time in nearly two decades and even the basic installation process is on par with the WinXP alpha (before the installer was ready), requiring extra driver disks and software just to be able to think about installing. I had to fight with UEFI and Grub to get Arch to boot alongside Fedora the other day and that was a much more enjoyable process.

If a large cardboard box is a Gaylord does that mean regular boxes are gay peasantry?

Yes.

I’ve got some suggestions and “tiers” of permanence for you.

Power

First, get yourself something like a vertical rack power strip (like one of these). You can probably notch the shelves to incorporate it well, without adding any required space behind them. This alone will go a long way towards cleaning things up.

Video

This is probably the other biggest mess is the video cabling. Here, there’s a few options.

Permanent, upgradeable, but harder to keep neat and probably a bit of a PitA to run cables

Use some cable passthrough wallplates like these. You’d install one close to your shelving and one close to your TV, then fish cables through. Given the distance, there’s probably at least one stud in the way that would make it a bit of a pain.

**Permanent, cleaner look, probably easier to run and more expensive **

Use HDMI/coax/RCA jack plates and pull cable through attic or basement. May need active cables to avoid issues (differential pair signaling used by HDMI can get finicky).

Semi-permanent

Purchase or make cable raceways. There are some commercial products that replace baseboard or crown moulding. This is probably the easiest route for clean appearance. You can use the risers in the shelf as anchor points to run up or down to your raceway, if you are ok with visibility there. Otherwise, notch the shelves, like the above suggestion for power, and run raceway/square conduit up or down, with ports for each shelf tier.

Less permanent, more expensive

Get an A/V receiver/mux box that you can use as a central connection appliance for the shelves. This way, everything connects to it and you have the minimum number of cables going from it to your TV. I honestly don’t know how much these things currently cost but they used to be pricey on account of being marketed to the “audiophile” segment.

Networking

Try to concentrate as many of your network-capable systems on adjacent shelves as possible. Install a keystone jackplate and either run Cat6 for each device or use a small edge switch and as short of patch cables as you can manage.

Blast. Someone beat me to the “one of my parents is dead” joke/not-joke.

Svalboard. Not am EMACS user (it’s a fine editor/Lisp interpreter) but, even nice mechkb isn’t necessarily going to prevent RSI or exacerbation of existing conditions. Best to change to a text-entry device that is designed with humans in mind.

In this case, it’s a feature of the language that enables developers to implement greater amounts of parallelism. So, the developers of the Python-based application will need to refactor to take advantage of it.

It’s also, I find, much more widely supported on a wider variety of hardware and with easier config automation.

Platinum Preppy. Cheap and cheerful with the capability of taking a converter, different nips, and being converted into a refillable marker. Amazingly versatile pen.

That would be reasonable. The people running these things aren’t reasonable. They ignore every established mechanism to communicate a lack of consent to their activity because they don’t respect others’ agency and want everything.

Oh, I’m referring to a claim that someone saw a reflection of a middle-aged man in a buttplug that was is a nicole photo (before it being deleted). I’ve not seen the image myself so, don’t know if it is a substantiated claim.

Nicole? Or the Buttplug Man?

vi in base Ubuntu isn’t really vi. It’s vim-minimal.

Both, last I checked.

Sorry to ping you a bunch with replies. I’m curious now, do you have unique numeral symbols for the numbers after 9?

Oh! That makes my brain hurt a bit less. It’s “subtract half from five”.
