I guess you're supposed to see how long it takes to recognize Shinji and Kawrou from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Less than 1 second for me.

I'm moving from ChromeOS to Manjaro. I want to put the Task Manager on the right edge of the screen, but don't see how to do this. I'm pretty sure this was possible a long time ago. Running KDE Plasma 5.27.11 and Wayland.

I had this thought as a kid. But I thought it was neat that we might be part of an atom of some larger molecule. Didn't keep me awake. I had other trauma keeping me awake, like going to school.

Thanks for the quick reply! I've managed to get things working better now from the community ISO.
I want to install Artix, but I'm having some problems. First, I tried using the **community KDE** ISO. Install went fine and dandy. But I couldn't do `pacman -Syu` because of conflicts with libjdk or some such. I want to note that the Artix wiki says the ISOs are rebuilt every 2 weeks, but the most current ones are from last July. Are there more recent ISOs available? So I tried doing it the hard way with the base install. I used the community ISO again to get the wireless working during the install, but when it gets to rebooting the laptop I don't have working wifi. This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480. /etc/conf.d/net has ``` modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant" config_wlan0="dhcp" ``` /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has ``` country=us update_config=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ scan_ssid=1 ssid="<my wifi network>" psk="<wifi password>" } ``` This fails on bootup with ``` Bringing up interface wland0 Caching network module dependencies Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant rfkill: WLAN soft blocked rfkill: WLAN soft blocked dhcp ... running dhcpcd ... dhcpcd-10.0.6 starting dhcpcd_prestartinterface: Operation not possible due to RF-kill wlan0: waiting for carrier timed out ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start ``` Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Why is my wlan0 soft blocked?

I recently introduced my wife to Quantum Leap. She liked Al's outfits, and I said that I'd love to have some to wear. She eagerly said she'd get me some. A week later she said she was sorry that all the clothes for men are bland. Oh well.

Why is it so hard to understand that an Unidentified Flying Object is simply something flying that the observer doesn't know what it is. We know that the aerospace industry makes new planes, and that many of these are secret designs that we don't have clearance to know about. Thus, many, if not all, UFOs are simply classified aircraft. Simple.

When closed captioning for TVs was being rolled out by government mandate in the US, there was widespread anger over having the cost of a TV increase by $0.25 for everyone for a feature that would only help a few. I was sickened by the callousness.

Season 0 is hard. There were a few months where we only won on the last possible turn (won during my turn when there was only 1 card to draw, so we'd if my turn ended and I had to draw 2 cards)

We haven't played Season 2 yet, but have the box ready. Technically its a present for my wife (shhh! it's a secret). Yes, I know that it won't be as good, and have adjusted expectations accordingly.
My wife and I just finished playing the last month of [**Pandemic Legacy Season 0**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/314040/pandemic-legacy-season-0). OMG, that was a great ride. We'd played Season 1 with our son at the start of COVID, which gave us a sense of agency. This version is a prequel that takes place in 1962. You're playing doctors recruited to the CIA. Instead of disease cubes, you're trying to fight off Soviet agents. However, since an outbreak would send disease to neighboring cities, and Soviet agents don't work that way (that we know of), there's a new mechanic for bad stuff that happens instead. Each player has a passport for their character. Each passport has pages for 3 different aliases you can take (Allied, Neutral, and Soviet). You'll need to create and direct teams to complete objectives. Highly recommended. If you're interested, here's the [Shut Up & Sit Down review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi2GSg_0vUE&pp=ygUNc3VzZCBzZWFzb24gMA%3D%3D).
Sounds like it's going to be a legacy game: >During the co-op game for one to four players, the group can experience a narrative-driven campaign that will enable players to explore different storylines and outcomes depending on their choices. As their chosen characters, players can upgrade their unique abilities by spending the experience points they gain, as well as unlock new powers through optional loyalty missions. The group can also improve their various pieces of equipment and weapons as they advance through the campaign. >According to the game’s publisher, Modiphius, the narrative choices made by players will have consequences further down the line, with there being potential for multiple playthroughs resulting in never-before-seen experiences.

Squeeee!
Meeple Mountain has a great article on trick taking games. I want to try **[Sail](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/377470/sail)**, as my wife and I love cooperative games.
Only in March so far, but things are going well. Almost too well... It's a good twist on the classic. Anyone else played it?
Just played a good game of Roll for the Galaxy. Usually we end up finishing the game because someone gets 12 developments/worlds, but this time we shifted to producing and shipping. It came down to who got to ship first in the last time (wife had a lower faction number, so she got it). Result was tied on VP. 😀
Just played **[Regicide](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/307002/regicide)** for the first time. Damn. That game is vicious! A great cooperative game played using a standard deck of cards. My wife and I were able to win, but only by cheating like mad: Played with hands face up, and mostly ignoring hand size limit. I realize that's cheating, but we're learning it. Very fun, but hard. Kind of like **Arkham Horror** done with a standard deck. What strategies do you use when playing?
Just played a game of the original Arkham Horror boardgame from 1987. The game started off by giving us 3 gates to deal with. Finished with the doom track one away from "The end of Arkham". Only one Investigator died and needed to be replaced. Introduced 2 new people to this game (both had played more recent versions).
When viewing a post, I have to click the X in the little bubble at the bottom, or scroll to the top to get the close post button. I keep pressing the ESC key, expecting it to close the post. Can this be added?
Using Google Maps on Android Auto. When I have a destination, it shows the speed limit of the current road. But if I don't have a destination it won't show the speed limit. It still knows what the speed limit is, but it won't show it. Is there any way to have it show the speed limit all the time?
MyNoise is full of wonderful ambient environments to work to, or mask distracting sounds.

I just installed debian 12 on an old laptop, and it has gnome. I've installed KDE, but when I log in it still pulls up gnome. How do I change it to KDE? Thanks.
Both *Nausicaa* and *Castle in the Sky* will be available in theaters in the next few days. They're great on the big screen!
