I went to the Stranger Things popup in Vegas. Not gonna lie, I had a good time. It was like an amusement park exhibit with the classic gift shop at the end, but the prices didn't seem inflated. If I was interested in buying merch, I'd rather go to to one of these than just order it online. I'm not saying it will be successful, but I don't hate them for trying it.

And, yes, they did sell DVD boxed sets.

Prescript: I am by no means a programmer, and input to follow is likely useless.

Have you looked at Markdown plugins that otherwise align with what you are looking for to see if there are usable approaches to be adopted? Or maybe even contribute a PR to one of those projects for Asciioc support?

In any case, I recently fell in love with Asciioc and selfishly hope you are successful!

It's like Mad Max, except you have no guns or ammunition and so are mostly reliant on turtle carcasses and fruit peels instead.

I have other thoughts, but these are the most objective ones:

  • The theme was integrated with all applications I tried and I didn't spot any problems with it. (I'd tell you I liked it, but that would be subjective)
  • Installing via Pamac required knowing what source (repos, AUR, et cetera) you were installing from or to try multiple.
  • My Brother wifi printer couldn't connect and I didn't find a guide to resolve it.
  • I couldn't get audio to work correctly on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 9th Gen.
  • The forums seemed to be active.
  • I ran it for a week in a VM without breaking anything. Didn't run for any length of time on bare metal due to the printer and sound issues.

Compared to Fedora and EndeavorOS:

  • Default GNOME theming, of course also through.
  • GNOME Store will show you all available sources when you search for the package on Fedora. For EndeavorOS I have to search two places on archlinux.org and flathub.
  • My printer worked with Fedora out of the box. For EndeavorOS I found a detailed guide they put together.
  • No audio issues on either.
  • Fedora also has a large forum. The EndeavorOS forum seems to have fewer users.
  • I ran Fedora on my laptop for 6 months. When I upgraded between versions, I ended up with two versions of some applications like "Terminal" and "GNOME Terminal," which was confusing. No breakages.
  • I've been running EndeavorOS for 14 months. I broke GRUB when everyone else on Arch and EndeavorOS did. I still had the live USB, and EndeavorOS provided instructions on how to fix it, although it was written for Ext4 and I had to make some educated guesses since I use BTRFS. I was successful and that was my only breakage.

When the box (and instructions) to frozen convenience foods get lost, I use mine to figure out when it's heated through.

I once witnessed a national youth development training get detailed for 20 minutes while the facilitators and a sizable contingent debated if it was a physical activity or an imposition of Buddhist/Hindu religious beliefs.

I remember the shot where we see many possibilities illustrated via many Nics, and thinking "Huh. That's really interesting. I'm not sure this movie deserves it."

Yesterday, my sunglasses fell off my face.

I reflexively shut my eyes while lunging my arms forward, accidentally shoving my wife and flinging my glasses several feet to my left.

That was easier done than said.

I know there is a fediverse Goodreads replacement, but I cannot more highly recommend BookDigits. It still has the social aspect but is so much more powerful. The developer is also very responsive.

The comparison to Wikipedia is a really good one.
