      Example of the second one is: in D&D, minmaxing a fighter, means minmaxing str and con. Which means dump int, wis, cha etc. You really wouldn't say to minmax str and int, for example.

    In defense of music,
    While some styles have much repetition and patterns with certain motifs such as classical and baroque, music is typically derived from expression, something which jazz does just as much as other musical styles. While jazz, to an extent, is associated with improv, that doesn't mean it has no pattern. If anything, they're all about manipulating patterns in a way that sounds good while expressing what the musician(s) wants to convey, the same way a classical composer would.
    ***Note***: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but stating that jazz has no pattern isn't completely accurate, Grey.

      It's simply that CPGrey has no taste in art, he sees everything from a purely mechanical point of view. It's why he suggests we try to "live forever", even though it's no more feasible than it has ever been. More people are living longer, but we haven't yet found a way to extend the natural lifespan, or preserve ailing old minds. And, if you're going to artificially extend the brain's biological limit, then how can you even dileneate between a soul and a function? Death is inevitable, be it by silicone or guillotine, the blood will stop pumping through your head eventually.

    I use a playlist that plays a random different song every morning as an alarm
    and can't understand how getting a more by time skipping breakfast can be good
    Time cooking and eating is time well spent

      Theo Greiner music is one of the most fundamental qualities of being a human. Is he joking about wanting to live forever or is he really this mentally confused?

      1000 hours is an average playtime in Factorio
      it's common to have 200+h in a single map

    LoL at the drowning anxiety. At one point I was avoiding and dreading texts and phone calls and my notifications sounds from that time do this to me, someone not normally prone to anxiety.

    The summer classes idea is something that I can highly recommend, too. It's so much better to take classes you're not fond of in a shorter time span, even if the work is more or less condensed, as well.

    I wake up to a lack of sound. One cold winter I got myself a space heater to have on overnight and now I can't sleep without white noise. So I got myself a fan/heater with a built in timer. Every night I set it for 8 hours and wake when the noise suddenly stops. As far as alarms goes, I think this is as peaceful as it gets.
