  • Windows is never going to like an NTFS that has been touched by another OS even if it windows was completely shutdown during that time. Reading the NTFS partition might be okay. But, last I checked none of the Linux drivers could write without windows noticing and fouling things up. If that has changed it would be welcome news to me despite my warning use of windows.

    If windows (and to a lesser extent that other OS) came bundled with some ability to mount, read, and write filesystems popular with other operating systems this wouldn’t be such a problem. One shouldn’t have to involve the network stack or 3rd party drivers just to share a partition on the same hardware or a portable drive with a modern file system.


  • They generally don’t breed in large bodies of water where the water is flowing. They moatly breed in the little stagnant pools of water that collect in other spots because of poor drainage or things like tires, empty pots, and other trash being left out in the rain. There exist these little pellets that poison those stagnant puddles for the mosquito, but not your pets. That and proper drainage around your house will do wonders to reduce the excess population. Pointing a fan to blow out at any open window can help too, but proper screens (with a fine enough mesh) would help more. Mosquitoes don’t like a stiff breeze.





  • I’ve fallen asleep during the third act extended fight scene of the last 5 Marvel movies I’ve been too that weren’t Deadpool. Same vibes. But, I still wouldn’t use them to try to sleep.

    But if you’re looking for relaxing, echo-y, and resonant check out Brian Eno’s ambient stuff. Start with “Music for Airports” and go on from there to some of the others if you like it.

    If you’re stuck on opera, maybe you’ll have interesting dreams trying to fall asleep to The Magic Flute. I’d probably just get the tunes stuck in my head.

    Also, the genre of modal jazz is rather slower and more resonant than its more hip and excitable cousins. Might be worth exploring. Syncopation would keep my mind to active though.










  • If those are your complaints, I’m genuinely confused about what you think “real” Zelda games are. Zelda has always been so much more than dungeon crawling, but it seems like that’s all you care about. Plenty of other Zelda games had things that weren’t just dungeons (like horse riding, fishing, mini games, talking to characters, shopping, mini puzzles, etc.) and involved a fair bit of wandering and searching. Once you actually play BOTW and TOTK you don’t even really need to bother looking for arrows anymore, they’re fucking everywhere and you can buy them all over the place.

    Sounds like you just aren’t a fan of Zelda, which is fine. But your claim that the recent games destroyed anything is just plain silly.
