And I can only assume, at this point, you are also about to lose a wife?

Hahaha not sure where you are exactly, but my memory of Houston and Corpus Christi involves using my arms to swim through the air - the heat and humidity was suffocating; the air was so thick! Sunglasses fogging up instantly when you step outside from an air-conditioned room.

We regularly see 110F here Down Under in our south, but it's a dry heat. You can at least spend the day outside getting stuff done.

It's been about ten years, give or take. Thank you and fuck you for breaking my streak.

Edit: welcome 🙃

This. This is my favourite take on the whole conundrum.

Have used both casually, agree Kdenlive is more versatile once you get past a few UI quirks. Latest version has some neat audio filters; good for removing background noise or distortion from poscasts/webinars etc.

Thank you for taking the time :) for once, it has finally clicked that I can drop the topic@instance on the end of my "signed in" instance domain with a /c/. Man, people who aren't computer people or curious thinkers will never figure this place out.

Although maybe that's a good thing.

We need a one-line explanation (I cannot find words to distill this), demonstrating that instance selection is entirely arbitrary - users need to not only believe it, but understand it intuitively, and quickly. And it's not intuitive to most persons' Web experience (With every internet decision I have made since IRC, the domain at which I hoist my flag, has defined the content available to me. Why would I register with an instance that hosts only thirty users? Don't I want to be where the other people are? Hang on, if the choice is arbitrary, why am I presented with a choice at all? Surely I'm missing something. No, I don't understand this, and so just in case, I should put myself where the other people are. If it wasn't better over there, they wouldn't all be there. Hang on, how do I hop between instances seamlessly? Why are there instances? What even is an instance? Why am I here? Who am I?)

Just address those concerns in ten words or less, and problem solved! XD (I may or may not have had the same questions)

It was always going to happen, and the best time to shit the bed, is when you've already wet yourself, because the sheets have to be changed anyway, right?

You sound like you know wassup; what's the quickest way for someone like me to navigate to a suggested community like the one you've mentioned? It's clearly not a URL extension, and clicking the link wants me to send an email XD I know I can search, but are there shortcuts around this place?

What a result! The spiteful bastard in me wishes it were permanent. Fuck corporate culture, fuck two-faced slimeball dickshits, and fuck /u/spez.

Also mowed the lawn! But only the half that grows fastest. I didn't make it up the hill today XD
