It's like that old episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where Larry finally gets with the dream girl (the one his wife gave him a "free pass" for if he could somehow manage to woo her).. and she invites him into her room... and on her bedside table is a framed photo of Dubya.

but how do you know?!?

For software devs, I haven't found sector to chain you nearly as much as the stack. I've been in Microsoft since the beginning of my career (.NET and more recently with Angular) but I've switched sectors from publishing, to insurance, healthcare, supply chain, education.. All of those were in .NET. It probably would've been harder to get a job in the same sector but a different stack (Java or whatever). So... I'm glad I didn't start in COBOL is what I'm saying. :)

They may have made it up, but that's ok because username checks out, they are Ziltoid.. THE OMNISCIENT (one of my favorite albums ;))

I was also going to correct. Thanks for doing the work!

I love this album. Putting it on now, thanks for the reminder. :)

oof, yup, that sounds familiar XD

Yess! Came here to recommend Vivaldi too. I switched from Brave for same reason as OP, and looked at a few options.... Vivaldi won. It's been a couple months and I haven't looked back.

LOLLL

That so takes me back to 1999. :)

Lol.. If I had 5 bucks for every time I've heard or said "fucking Microsoft" in my life 😂

For sure! I think I like a heavy dose of escapism, is why.

I really liked Three Body Problem, and I'm happy to see it on the list. The only other one I've tried to read was Seveneves, and.. I couldn't finish it! I just couldn't dig the "realistic" science style (same with The Martian, which I couldn't stand.. and I'm relieved it's not on this list). Don't get me wrong--other Stephenson books are in my personal top 10, especially Anathem. Pattern Recognition is on my shelf and I look forward to it.

Play a whole album in a row. One time my buddy and I queued up all of Dark Side of the Moon at a pool hall. Obviously some people loved it and some didn't... :-)

very cool, thanks!

Wow, never heard of the Mugen until your comment. I looked it up, and it looks interesting. I use a v60, and sometimes a Kalita Wave. How do you like the Mugen?

Yeah! 😊🤘

Wow, a fan of the later Rush albums! I also dug those. It's always felt like unpopular opinion for me to tell anyone, even other Rush fans, "I looove Presto." (I know that's not "later" Rush, but still.)

Ziltoid and Empath.... hello, friend :)

That looks phenomenal! How was the sound quality there?
