owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What music is similar to the Water Temple theme from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time6·6 days agoDepends on what kind of similar you’re looking for.
Sounds like water? Dire Dire Docks.
Sounds like water but more mysterious? Aquatic Ambience.
More like ice and kinda sad? Schala’s Theme

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato World News@quokk.au•US debt is now $37trn – should we be worried?10·8 days agoThat’s the thing though–if they can create more at any time, why bother “borrowing” in the first place? Because of the debt, the government pays over a billion dollars every day on the interest on that loan.
It’s not the economy I’m concerned about, it’s channeling billions into the pockets of the wealthy through interest payments–billions that are paid by the working class.

shortcut. I especially like it for the sudo example, because when it complains I don’t have permission, I can basically yell at it.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What computer life hacks are your most used?7·8 days agoAdd Home/End buttons into your work flow to jump to the start or end of lines. Works with holding Shift as well.
For me, one of the biggest things was removing all the visual noise from my desktop. Disable notifications, disable or hide unused taskbar elements, and on Windows, get rid of the patently awful ticker thing that lives on the taskbar. Disable window animations.
I did the same thing on my phone, too, including disabling pop-up notifications, toasts, floating bubbles, and animations. My brain is much happier for it.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•President Trump says he plans to host UFC fight at the White House7·9 days agoI’ll only be on board with this if Trump fights Jake Paul.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a term for something like Imposter Syndrome, but instead feeling like it’s other people conspiring to give you an illusory taste of success with intent to pull it away and screw you over?18·9 days agoIt almost sounds like a kind of social paranoia. Pretty common among kids that get bullied a lot (when another well-meaning kid is nice, the bullied kid responds aggressively, assuming the nice kid is trying to set them up). Not sure if there’s a more specific term though.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Chocolate chip is a great cookie, but only if it's melty. If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie.13·10 days agoFalse dichotomy. A cookie can be chewy without being melty.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?9·15 days agoYeah, American candy has about the lowest standards. Canada isn’t much better, but there’s a noticeable difference in the quality of chocolate in common chocolate bars. We once did a side-by-side comparison of KitKats (we live right on the border) and the difference was stunning.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?20·15 days agoMy wife looked it up. It’s a hard licorice candy with a salty filling from the Netherlands called Napolean Zwart-Wit (which loosely translates to “tarred scrotum”).
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?14·15 days agoI got a monthly food box for my wife a number of years ago. Each month they sent snacks from a different country.
I can’t remember which country it was from, but one month we got some round, hard candies. It was one of the most unfortunate things I have ever intentionally put into my mouth.
I don’t even remember the flavor (licorice, maybe?), because my brain attempted to bleach it out.
Everything else was usually tasty, though.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Trump says he's ending 'all discussions on trade with Canada' effective immediatelyEnglish101·16 days agoHow dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite and least favorite pure chance and pure strategy games? And why?6·18 days agoStrategy favorite: Root - it’s rules-heavy, but each faction functions completely differently, and the art is fantastic.
Strategy blah: Axis and Allies. It’s more of a history lesson than a game, and I’ve never heard of a game taking less than four hours.
Chance favorite: Egyptian War (goes by other names, I think). Technically it’s not pure chance, but mostly (which is probably why I like it).
Chance blah: Left Center Right. The most mind-numbing experience.
For the record, Bingo isn’t dull if you play it the way those older ladies do, with like 12 cards at a time. Then it’s just a rush of anxiety. Still not fun, but not dull.
