IMO this is as close as it gets to a perfect film.
Hits on all counts: thematic poignance perfectly executed (I dare you not to tear up near the end), wonderful characters and relationships, a killer soundtrack, and tongue-in-cheek humour that isn't quippy (at least in the Marvel-esque fashion that undermines the catharsis of the story).
Getting rid of the bun fixes this!
What's even wilder is that they weren't even trying to pander, or dilute the Japanese-ness of their creations.
"Oh, you like big houses, big cars, big boomboxes, big meals and machismo? Well, here's a small, cute and vaguely effeminate everything!"
Totally bonkers!
It's incredibly paradoxical that perhaps the most insular, introverted and ethnically homogenous nation on earth has ended up wielding more cultural power than anywhere else of earth... It's not even close.

One day...
Purely subjectively, this bear has been far more disspiriting than the 2018-19 one. Perhaps because it has been significantly longer, perhaps because we never even got the bull market we were hoping for, perhaps it's just that the world seems like a far darker place post all the covid insanity...
The discourse within Bitcoin also seems noticeably worse than in 2018-19. It feels like there is another block size war brewing. This time it isn't over any particular proposed change to bitcoin, but rather over the idea that there ought to be any more changes to bitcoin at all.
I've only used Claude2 and GPT4. What are some of the open source models you recommend?
Good morning 
The vast majority of decaf coffee is decaffeinated using dangerous solvents (most commonly methylene chloride and ethyl acetate).
If you want to drink decaf, make sure to get coffee that is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Method. If the bag doesn't say, assume the worst.
Even in the coffee snob capital of the world, New Zealand, it took me a while to find a cafe that had non-toxic decaf. But it's so very worth it.
Good morning 
As a left curve bitcoiner, I would really prefer CTV + APO to allow for LN Symmetry and Ark. I don't have a whole lot of interest in a Zcash drivechain.
While I have no strong view on drivechains, retweeting a Stacks shill who has shown himself to have little ethical scruples and an antipathy towards bitcoin, is probably not the way to go about convincing people.
