Love you.
I'm sorry.
They'll keep bringing this up again and again and again until it passes, huh.
Next Council deliberations and vote in October-December.
During the pandemic I browsed anime again and really enjoyed My roommate is a cat (and not really anything else that came up). My husband and I like old-fashioned cyberpunk, so on his suggestion we watched and enjoyed Edgerunners.
So there's still anime out there that matches my tastes. It just doesn't usually come up, and I don't follow releases or check anything out "just because it's anime".
I'd love to watch good anime again, same as with any good TV/movie, but no longer hang around people who:
- mentioned an interesting anime like any other show, and not as a long list of recommendations or rabid fandom. Talk to me of your favourite anime like you would of The Bear or Fleabag, sheesh.
- were ones whose taste regarding media I trusted.
Basically too much shite, no interest to wade through it and no easy/natural filters available.
Barry's, speaking as a non-Irish person who loves the idea of two competing tea brands and hasn't even tried Lyon's.
Agreed on Yunnan on all but shu, and sheng at the temperamental ~5-10 age range.
I mostly drink yanchas/Wuyi rock oolongs. Get them from various sources, no specific brand. Also occasionally reputable sheng pu-erh if I can afford some, non-pu fermented teas, jin jun mei, genmaicha, or anything Nepalese or Malawi whole-ish leaf, in small quantities (max 50g).
Depends a lot on your peer group, but I have even fewer contacts that use PGP than ones that use either service. :/ Just tried to keep it simple.
What all do you consider "synchronizing" to include? I mean, the calendars won't, but using Etar+NextCloud for calendar, and Tuta for email, has worked fine for me. Of course it means that my calendar isn't encrypted.
I just tested sending an ICS event to both. The Tuta app offered to open it on Etar, and Etar offered the default calendar with dropdown for others, just like normal. (Strangely it didn't even offer to open on Tuta's own calendar, which is in the same app; maybe because I've added no calendars there?) Proton's app (which may be out of date, the mail app isn't on F-droid, either publicly or in an official repository, and I'm a lazy updater) wanted to open it on Proton Calendar only when I don't even have it installed.
Proton's bridge OTOH worked really well for me for syncing to Thunderbird, probably works as well for Office too.

IMHO that's a surefire way to burnout and self-doubts later on. My advice would almost be the opposite.
Never too late to change if what you're doing isn't working for you. Recognize when you're about to kill your passion with expectations, and don't do it. There is little to no cross-disciplinary knowledge that doesn't come in useful, so don't force yourself to be single-minded in your pursuits. What you're learning matters surprisingly little, that you're learning matters so much more.
But yea, don't change major pursuits, like, every year. Probably depends on the person which advice they need. I definitely would have needed the latter.
