Nice to see another 40K reader. Recently I realised there are new Inquisitor books so I binged Penitent. Felt like reuniting with old friends.

On to The Magos now, I usually get my Black Library fix from bundles, but I might make an exception for this one.

Ctrl + Opt + D also conflicts with Rectangle, which is a more popular MacOS window manager.

Thanks for the feedback, we will be making shortcuts configurable.

There's the OpenWasher project https://github.com/smoluks/OpenWasher-V2

Not many compatible models, but might be a good starting point.

And then there's the plot twist. On-label use is for type 2 diabetes, which is considered a consequence of obesity. So it's actually about prevention vs treatment.

This is rough. Is it still under patent protection?

Yes. It's newly released and there is no generic.

Started playing Mass Effect with Knights of the Old Republic fresh in my mind back in the day. It was so jarring hearing the same voices with different characters.

Been scrobbling nonstop since 2006. Discovered last.fm while digging through Amarok's settings.

So many memories, discovered genres, met friends, found a subculture where I belong (more like the subculture found me with the neighbor system)

Only 72k for me, but there was a time for several years where I wasn't listening to any music on my computer. Something that working from home has seriously changed :D

I've got high compatibility with carldr.

You signed up to last.fm (well, audioscrobbler) two days after I did in 2005. I’ve followed you there, I’ll trawl through your top tracks tomorrow.

I’m surprised/happy to see iLiKETRAINS as your top track.

Music geeks might appreciate this. I recently made a CD wall of my most-scrobbled albums: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GkXKM1FpmsqwzALP7

I’d like to shake you by the six hands, love that.

[eythian → carl_dr]

Good band! Saw them perform live a few weeks back.

[eythian → xn]

Only high? I have super with you :)

[carl_dr → eythian]

If you are shrikemen, Teenage Fanclub are the first band I saw live. Looking through your profile, I’m surprised we are only Medium.

[carl_dr → punchclockhero]

Late 90s me would have had a higher compatibility with you, there are a few blasts from my past in your scrobbles. Followed!

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. Used to download his music video rips off thepiratebay.

Much respect to media hoarders of all creeds.
