That’s a very respectable attitude.

It was indeed unpopular at the time and not widely known now. I personally actually enjoyed the action (I think the final gunfight is one of the best or at least most fun I’ve ever seen), but I understand how it would be unappealing to some.

As I mentioned, Christian Bale’s performance is allegedly what got him the role of Batman, so make of that what you will.

It’s also worth mentioning that there are enjoyable qualities to the movie even discarding the action. If and when you do watch it, I hope you enjoy it!

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation!

What is a croft in this context?

Definitely agreed on the last two.

Sounds like good decision making there.

I’d never heard of that, but it looks very nice. A local merchant says that his brother lives in Norway and he loves to visit.

A long time ago, someone posted advocating symlinking vi to emacs. Evil, but entertaining.

Sounds like your preferences are pretty flexible.

That is the protagonist from the (IMHO excellent) movie Equilibrium. He describes himself as a “tetragrammaton cleric.” Prior to your comment, I didn’t know the first word had any actual real world meaning, so that’s where my mind went when I saw you use it. (Apologies if this is disrespectful to the intent of the word.)

As an interesting side note, supposedly that movie is what got Christian Bale cast as Batman.

That’s pretty specific.

I’m not familiar, but an image search makes it look like you’re describing the middle of a roadway. Did I find the wrong thing?

You’re mostly describing where I live! It’s really nice here. However, a few of your points are things that are lacking that I definitely wish I had. Oh well - I think this is the happiest I’ve ever been with my surroundings.

I think you can get a pretty good community in a remote place, but “the middle of nowhere” has some flexibility; it’s very true that if you’re nowhere enough, you probably won’t have enough people for a community.

I think you’re the first person in this thread who hasn’t said something related to being remote/isolated. Good luck in achieving your dreams!

Awesome that you’re basically there - it sounds like the idyllic environment I’ve seen in a lot of Ghibli shows. I definitely get the grocery store thing … I’ve lived in a few rural areas and the trip to get supplies is always a bit of a downer.

Interesting reasoning!

That sounds nice. I work remotely now and don’t talk to people outside of my home very often, but I do have a family that lives with me and they provide plenty of interaction. When we were moving, I did spend a few weeks completely alone here and it did get pretty lonely. I’m sorry you now live somewhere you don’t like.

I was so tired when I first read this that I was trying to figure out a literal correlation. On reading this while (moderately) awake, I find it much funnier.

Apparently, l put my index finger on D with my ring finger on A. My middle finger moves between W and S. My pinky rests on Shift and the heel of my hand is ready to go to Ctrl.

That said, I tested this on a laptop. I’m not sure my finger layout is the same on my desktop.
