- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 weeks ago:
For me it was Russia when I spent aroubd 9 days there (in and around Moscow). The people were genuinely friendly and there we not the scammers/tourist traps like in most of Europe and Asia.
The markets were as interesting as any I’ve been to in Asia/North Africa.

When I was doing a lot of custom ROMs on xda I had some guy supply a new phone to me to further develop on - this happened twice. It’s nice when it happens but it’s not why I was building ROMs

Nudity has never been a thing to worry about before, but in the last 6 months or so she wants her space (fair enough). This just happend the other week. Kids will make more of somethings than others. and it all depends on the timing.

- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 9 months ago:
I was usig both in the early 2000’s, at that stage there wasn’t too much difference in the UIs. Gimp just seems to have stuck (more or less) with mid 2000’s design concepts in the UI

here in NZ I’d say we are much more progressive than the states, although we have a centre right government at the moment.
