  • Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the “premium”.

    Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.












  • I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

    OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.

    Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

    DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

    I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.


  • I’ve had the “fortune” of reading quite a few pieces in religion class.

    I don’t remember any brown substances in that violent fairytale book that many claim to follow, yet few read and even less understand.

    It does have a lot of “colourful” sections especially in season 1. I’m not surprised if there are passages about 💩.

    If there are any pointers I’d happily use them in discussions with evangelists.
