  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

    Jump

  • You may have got me there. It was overhyped. So. Much. Merchandise. It drew people to the cinemas too, at least where I live. I do not remember whether it was actually praised though.

    BTW: I hated the sound track. Anything with Puff Daddy or whatever he tries to call himself nowadays should not exist. Most lazy music ever.

  • What's your favorite underrated band?

    Jump

  • The God Machine. They were a shoegaze band from the early 90s. Sadly, one of the three members died, so they never got big.

  • Godzilla. The 1998-ish version.

  • Laptop Recommendation for Light Gaming

    Jump

  • I bought a Tuxedo two years ago. They have affordable (and highly configurable) Linux laptops, some of which are aimed at gamers.

  • What's the most popular activity you could never get into?

    Jump

  • Football (soccer for Muricans), both as a participant and as a spectator.

  • Are molded ear plugs worth it?

    Jump

  • As a motorcyclist, that's a definite yes. On long trips, it is the wind around the helmet that is one of the most tiring things. Custom plugs allow the rider to hear traffic while being shielded for wind noises.

    A good friend of mine has concert plugs and he swears by them, but that has been said earlier in this thread.

  • Rami Malek comes to mind. If I am not mistaken, he is Egyptian, so not your typical Hollywood white mail.

  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

    Jump

  • Phil Collins's solo work is mind-numbingly, eye-bleedingly, toe-curlingly boring and awful.

  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

    Jump

  • YES! He's a massive idiot too.

  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

    Jump

  • I upvoted you, but you are not entirely right in my opinion.

    Not all classical music is created equal. I am quite convinced that if J.S. Bach had lived today, he would make music like Squarepusher. However, somebody like Gustav Holst would probably be in some kind of doom metal or progressive metal.

  • What was your best decision in life?

    Jump

  • I started running some 20-odd years ago. It helped me get stability and self-confidence and helped me get my shit together.

  • Dutch government tries to stop ASML from moving out

    Jump

  • Among other things, in order to compete with the populist far right, they have been actively campaigning against migrants. As ASML is entirely dependent on highly educated foreign workers, this hurts them.

  • Anyone had a look at Odoo yet?

    Jump

  • I hate that kind of not-invented-here syndrome. The project I am helping develop is partly open source and has its own server-side framework, its own ORM and its own typescript based framework. Community-wise we are dead in the water, because nobody wants to adopt to the own frameworks.

    Incidentially, I used OpenERP5, which is an early predecessor of Odoo. I hated the interface with every fiber of my being. Due to some custom development, we were not able to upgrade to more modern versions.
