Happy to help! I can’t begin to guess what might be best for your family, but it might be worth watching a couple episodes yourself and seeing if it’s a fit. A couple other good animated shows might be The Owl House and the latest She-Ra. Both are very lgbtq+ friendly and the later seasons of She-Ra have a more complex take on the Zuko redemption arc. Although, She-Ra has been removed from netflix so you might have to “find” it. And I recommend anyone and everyone watch Adventure Time

It’s definitely a more contemplative show about loss, growth, and appreciation. Action is pretty spaced out and generally brief. I’d argue it’s a masterclass in letting silence speak and possibly a strong intro to subtext. It’s full of the main character either not speaking or making cryptic or ambiguous statements followed by explanatory flashbacks. Overall, I would describe it as a pretty wholesome show with very little of the typical problematic anime content. Comparing it to AtLA is tough because they’re simply different kinds of stories, but it can feel kind of like the tea shop episode.

This might catch flak, but i recommend the english dub for those who don’t know japanese. The voice actors SELL IT and, not being a japanese speaker, i can’t confirm whether the tone and characterizations are conveyed the same.

I carry this screencap specifically for that reason:

Still my favorite game. The glock saint is such a fun fight

Watch videos and read some articles about it. There are different edge angles for different use cases, but you’ll generally aim for 20-25°. For things like razors and kitchen knives you’ll want a straight grind/edge and for more heavy use knives a slightly beveled edge is okay. Low grit is for large corrections like burrs and blunt spots. Those kinds of corrections will take a lot of time and you’ll want to look for uniformity before moving to higher grits for a sharper edge and eventually polish. Highly recommend starting with an angle tool and going slowly with a knife you don’t really care about. Work on keeping your angle and pressure consistent and don’t press down very hard. If you apply too much pressure you’ll damage both the edge and stone, especially for softer (higher grit) stones. Check your work regularly to make sure the edge is consistent, you’ll see it pretty clearly under a light. It takes practice. I’ve been freehand sharpening for about 20 years and I still mess up sometimes.

My biggest tip is regular maintenance! I clean and do a few passes on 3000 grit with my kitchen knife every time I use it and it’s been my sharpest knife for 10 years. And clean your stone! Residual steel will build up, making the stone less effective and also risking damage to the edge.

I order a lot of takeout and recently stopped using online ordering because a bunch of them in the area stopped allowing orders as a guest. They force to log in or sign up. I’ve found that calling the store is easier and faster

By sheer coincidence, I just made an install image yesterday and will be switching soon

There’s some debate on this! Most movie dialogue is designed to convey the impression of conversation, but this is naturally unrealistic. People stutter and start over and get distracted in normal conversation much like you described, which can become very burdensome on the screen. Like when your boss won’t get to the point in the standup. Overly precise dialogue is equally burdensome and often fails to maintain attention (see: the Time 1776 AI videos). A lot of the discussion around how best to balance those natural pauses and disruptions around the otherwise “eloquent” speech in movies to best convey a characterization.

I’m sure others out there can point to legitimate sources, but I’m not super read up on it

Do my 600 applications mean nothing?!

(Yes, they in fact mean nothing)

Stromae is fantastic! I just found out he did music for Arcane

Ice chains for traction. It might be a type of crampon, I’m not certain what the distinction is.

Sweet thanks, adding to the list

If it doesn’t feature 4NonBlondes and What’s Going On, then I’m not interested

I forgot about the nebulas! My list just grew

I really enjoyed those books! I found them when I was digging through the Hugo’s for something to read and these definitely seemed like they deserved it. I generally avoid mysteries because it seems they have a tendency to intentionally mislead the reader but these felt complete. Every detail is important and contributes to the story without being out of place or a distraction. Highly recommend

Well I just dumped windows and MS office. For machine vision I’m only dabbling with openCV, so that’s already open source. The switch to libre office has been pretty nice though

Pulse Water Modulation

Cool thanks, I’ll stick with it! At least until I’m familiar and want to try something new

No worries, it’s all part of the experience
