Wow, I still use paint.net. My needs are pretty humble, and it still hits that sweet spot between MS Paint and Gimp.

There’s been a trend towards simplicity/minimalism in UX for a long time. Sometimes it works really well. Other times it makes it difficult to find things like setting preferences (or they just don’t implement them because the assholes think they know better than you).

For me, MS is a mixed bag. Some of the UX changes are good, some of it is horrible.

But I love a well done minimalist UX. Obsidian and Reaper are two examples that come to mind.

I would guess part of it is Google getting worse and people adding reddit to the query hoping to find answers to PC problems, etc.

After a recent renovation, our new exaust fan is much quieter, and it kind of bugs me. It is nice to be able to leave it running longer, though. The old one was too obnoxiously loud to leave on after you finished a shower.

Surprised we haven’t heard from the germophobes that they use a gantry of hot air blowers, like you sometimes find at the end of an automated car wash.

I like sesame sticks and nuts (but allergies can be an issue). Also wasabi peas.

I’ll just throw this into the mix: the so-called “wisdom of crowds”. I’m not sure if it really applies to juries. But I think the idea that a group of people will be smarter and less biased (or their biases will cancel each other out) is a common notion. It also dilutes the feeling of individual responsibility to some degree.

After defeating the Balrog in the mines of Moria, Jesus comes back as Buddy Christ.
