Idk about new books, but older book smell can be due to the breakdown of the lignin into things similar to vanillin. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/that-old-book-smell-is-a-mix-of-grass-and-vanilla-710038/

No. Heck, I don't even play Early Access games (with rare exceptions, like Satisfactory). I'm not paying to be a beta tester.

Holy crap. Haven't thought about that game in forever! Nice!

Depends on how you define family. Childhood family, going on 5 years and it's gonna be longer.

Me: What are 3d printed drugs?

FTA

He swapped out a kilogram of cocaine from evidence with a 3D-printed version, according to court documents, per the Associated Press. He sprinkled the 3D-printed brick with real cocaine so that it appeared to be real,

Oh, he printed a prop.

Why would you want to fix it if he constantly pushes your boundaries purposely?

I'm not OP, but I have similar issues. I ask myself this CONSTANTLY. There's a part of me that is a hole that a proper, good father could fill. Obviously, I don't have that and he never will, but I still crave it. Imagine being hungry and there's the best food on the other side of the window and you can never have any. You're still hungry and there's a part of you that is pressing against that window, even though another part of you knows you can't get into the store.

One of the pivotal moments for me was on my wedding day. I didn’t receive any message from him—not even a simple acknowledgment. I had hoped to hear from him, and his silence cut deeply, making me realize how distant we had become.

One year, my father said he didn't think he could visit. I have his only grandkids. He's retired and rich. He has connections to get cheap travel. He takes multiple out-of-country trips a year (that I've never been on). There is literally no reasonable explanation why he can't visit in a year and plenty of typical reasons for him to do so. I haven't talked to him in more than 5 years.

My anger/sadness dulls with time, but never goes away. I constantly have to remind myself that the father I want doesn't exist and never did. It has gotten easier with time, but it's still a scar. Just like a real scar, it gets angry from time to time, but it's not as bad as when I first got it.

It's taught me a lot of lessons. It taught me not to be like him. My mom once asked my wife "where did he learn to play with the kids like that? His father never did that." When my wife told me that, I couldn't explain it, either. I just treat my kids like I wanted to be treated when I was a kid.

I've gone to therapy and it helps. Maybe I should go back. As my kids grow, I'm learning new ways in which he failed me and our family. I never knew what I was missing, but now that I have to provide that for my kids, I see what he did wrong. Every year it's something new. I imagine it'll be that way until I die.

So, I'm sorry, but I don't think it ever disappears (as you can tell by the energy I'm typing with). I think it fades. Take from it the lessons that you can. Don't let the pain be fruitless. Acknowledge it, use it as guidance, "I know what not to do."

Series? More macross/robotech that makes sense. Macross Plus is the best for many reasons, but mostly because of the coherent plot. Give me awesome mecha, itano circus missile flights, and a plot that's not fucking stupid. (I can't stand robotech's plot, and macross is barely tolerable.)

Game? Master of Magic 2 that doesn't suck. I've seen 2 or 3 spiritual successors but they've failed in execution. Keep it simple. Update the original and add a touch of something. Don't reinvent it.

Movie? District 9 sequel. I don't know how they'd do it but the movie was so good I want more.

Yes. More Eternal Darkness. Loved the replay ability. ULYOTTH CHTURGAH PARGON

What is peer tube? Honest questions

Anything advertised by a YouTuber. Some mattress company, some VPN, etc

From my perspective, they've always been there, but now they're louder. They've been emboldened by the public perception that it's okay to be terrible and hateful and selfish. It used to be that those people kept more quiet.

Specialty coffee. I order whole beans from a roaster I know. It's $20-25/lb. I could buy grocery store coffee for half that, but it doesn't taste anywhere close.

~9C. The MINTEMP is 10C, I think. I heat it to 11C with a heat gun and it works fine.

You can't do that on the web client. You have to find another app.

IIRC, it's slated to be added, but hasn't been yet.

All our took for me was being too highly paid, I think. Lay offs came and I went. Literally about to present the closing slides for the current phase of a massive project. Was so sure I was safe because of said critical project and was well regarded on my team. (I brought cookies even!) Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. I was, however, the highest paid in my department.

The desert bazaar sequence was actually tolerable.

But yes, the art department deserves full recognition.

And the problem is further minimized when smart hulk is revealed with no effort at all in the next film. I hated it.

I find nuggets in them. Iron man 3 had issues, but I was fascinated by the portrayal of Tony stark's ptsd after the battle of new York. Sure, seeing a bunch of robots is fun, but it's not really engaging. The intersection of everyday life, mental trauma, and super powers and responsibilities is fascinating to me.

Ready player 1 - oh yeah, I agree with you. Garbage film. Just an excuse to do fan service. I viewed it like a music video or clip compilation. It was neat to see all the random franchise together on the big screen but worthless as a narrative. I enjoyed it like I enjoy godzilla films, turn brain off, watch the spectacle.

I hate Avatar (blue cat people). Dances with Wolves but Halo. It was pretty! However people seem to act like it was an actual film and not a tech demo. They literally called the mineral unobtanium. It's a meme. Smh.
