Hmmm…

Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)

The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja’s and Marko’s version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette’s version.

The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)

Chop Suey (System of a Down)

Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)

Ace of spades (Motörhead)

… A bunch of stuff from Guns’n’Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours…)

Other days I’d have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, …

Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between “hard rock” and “metal”. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

The common mistake of mistaking a “children’s show” based on something Astrid Lindgren wrote, for something that’s emotionally light weight.

Yep, that’s pretty close to what I’ve assumed is going on, and I’m doing what I can to accommodate.

That’s soo my wife.

Friends coming over for dinner, and we want another two seats available at the table? I’d better make her clear off that table because otherwise there’ll be another round of “NOOOO, you moved stuff, now I’ll never be able to find anything again”. “Sweetie, it’s all on the side table. I moved the stuff pile by pile, didn’t mix the piles” “It’s forever gone!”

The Democrats first moves, yes.

That the Republicans already made a bunch of moves…

And the company that charges “gas refueling fees” for a fully charged EV.

1 and 6.

I wouldn’t call it “measured in inches” as much as they are “named” with a partly numerical name, which may or may not be an adequate correspondence with a different country’s length scale.

It’s similar with bicycles: many tires are named in inches. Two tires with the same number of “inches” may however not have the same diameter, so to translate size-names into measurements is fraught with pitfalls.

Most of my family has this problem, but at least diabetes appears not to be the cause.

It varies so much from day to day, if I even notice that I skipped a meal (not breakfast, mkay? I literally can’t skip breakfast). Sometimes I’m in the zone and don’t notice that lunch time was like 4 hours ago. Other days I can get really irritated that I haven’t had lunch yet and it’s another hour until I’m supposed to take that lunch break.

Make everyone a criminal, selectively arrest your enemies. Very simple.

And as long as you keep track of which of your 5 different cups is the one that’s 16 times larger than the tablespoon measuring scoop. :)

-10F is cold, +80F is hot.

0C is “maybe it’s time to think about switching from summer shoes to winter shoes; there’s better grip on my winter shoes and that’s getting relevant today”

Which of the cups?

The one that’s in my cabinet? The one that Wikipedia lists as “this is definitely the cup, there’s no doubt about that”? The cup that’s also called a “coffee cup” as opposed to the cup from which I drink my coffee, which is very different despite also being both a cup and a coffee cup? The volume that my coffee maker defines to be a cup (or maybe that’s supposed to be a cup, sorry, coffee cup, but not the same coffee cup that the standard coffee cup - which still is named a cup)?

-50C is real cold - about as cold as regular humans will ever be exposed to, and survive, anywhere (outside of Antarctica). +50C is real hot - about as hot as regular humans will ever be exposed to (and survive).

Nice and symmetric.

Of course there’s a little bit of flexibility in these descriptions. I believe both Baghdad and Yarkutsk have surpassed their respective “50”-lines without killing their complete populations.

The problem with banning people from identifying nazis is of course that the nazis then have a field day doing nazi things, chanting “you aren’t allowed to call me a nazi …”

Yep, that’s what brought me over to XFCE for several years. Back at KDE again, though

I guess my knowledge of cars must have atrophied…

Not so sure about that, given that I’m pretty sure there’s a full sized Mercedes in the back row, and what to me looks like a Volvo in the middle slot, facing the camera.

You assume I’m ever “about in public”?
