I like to include profanity in all my comments for spiciness.

I suppose if you've got a self-destructive streak a mile wild, better to at least burn out doing something impressive.
Yeah, the article mentions her day begins with a 3am alarm, a quick breakfast, and the taping up of blisters.
Cool accomplishment, but it can't have been healthy.
I'd like to thank this thread for reminding me to check out some new music. Just today, I have discovered MJ Lenderman and Still House Plants who both seem to be doing some cool stuff that's right up my alley. There's a new Mogwai track released a few days back and Sumac just released an amazing sludge metal album, even though I'm not really into sludge, it might convert me. A quick few image searches shows me that none of them are particularly attractive. Music has always been, and always will be awesome regardless of the physical appeal of the lead singers.
I guess I can see the appeal of that. But it's pretty fun feeling like a nail salon samurai, too.
Pretty sure they're just incredibly sharp. The Japanese like to sharpen things.
I bought a nice pair of fingernail clippers. ~$15 Green Bell from Japan. You hardly have to apply any force to the lever at all, and the nail just slices off neatly and falls inside. Not like my old cheapo pair that went "KACHONK" and endangered anyone in my vicinity of shrapnel injuries.
That's encouraging. Wind Waker might be my favorite.

It's a ridiculously versatile granular sampler synthesizer. Obviously not for everyone, but it's super fun to just make weird soundscapes with. Even with just your phone mic.
Hmm. That doesn't sound particularly enjoyable. I haven't played a Zelda game since Skyward Sword, and that one really rubbed me the wrong way. Formulaic and dull. I suppose that's why the next entry made such drastic changes. I might just emulate BotW someday to see what all the fuss is about.
I've got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.
Not my workplace exactly, but I used to hang out with this Kiwi who worked as a foreign English teacher in Korea in the same small Korean city as me. The foreigner community was fairly close-knit because there was only 50ish of us.
We all knew him. Everyone liked him. Fun guy. A little weird sometimes. He never told anyone his last name. The end of his pinkie finger was missing and if you asked him about it, he always said a shark bit it off.
One vacation about two years into his tenure, he decided to take a trip to Las Vegas. He never came back. I'm not 100% on the details past this point, but what I heard was they stopped him from entering the US because he was wanted in New Zealand on 37 counts of distributing child pornography. He was basically extradited back there and as far as I know went to prison. His trail disappears there.
