I'd expect almost any computer/gaming monitor on e.g. Amazon around the $100~$150 (US) price range would meet or exceed your needs.

Edit: e.g. here's a glossy 27" for $99 and a matte version from a different brand for $159 (with some cheaper used options). I have an older monitor similar to the latter (from ~10 years ago). Finding ones that explicitly list "pivot" functionality for the stand is the trickier part of searching for these.

No idea, but Lenna is probably one of the earlier images pirated over the internet given its history in testing image compression algorithms.

Consequently, the opening sequence recently published on YouTube has been removed from the platform.

Anyone save a copy of it? Would be interesting to see what they thought was OK to ship vs what they replace it with.

what is even the point of it?

No one's been on this spacecraft design while it's in space before, and it's got some kinks that need to be worked out (like the issues with the toilet); it's a shakedown flight to figure out what goes wrong when people are actually on board. That's not really all that sexy compared to a moon landing, but testing your support systems in practice really needs to happen before you do more ambitious things with the craft.

No sequel movies, only standalone

No Ghibli movies

I don't really watch a lot of anime movies. Excluding Ghibli and movies that are associated with / cap off a TV series cuts out a lot of the ones I've seen as well.

Colorful and Paprika come to mind pretty quickly. Would have to think a bit for what else I'd put on there. May edit this later if more come to me.

Jailbreak me a piece of that KitKat bar? 🤨️

Hmm. Hopefully they reduce the tedious parts in the sequel. I remember this one being OK -- nice sprite work, some humor I enjoyed, playable (but could be better) gameplay -- though rather grindy. I remember beating the base game, and I think I have the first DLC, but didn't care enough to go back to it when they released the other DLCs.

I got my hands on a physical copy a few months ago and I'm part way through a first watch. From my notes I made it to about an hour and half into the 2nd disc (of a 5 disc release where the last disc was the movie) back in February before putting it down. Haven't gotten back to it yet -- though I will eventually.

I was somewhat familiar with some of the characters from memes already (e.g. Shinji, Rei, Asuka) but the penguin was a surprise.

Looks like roughly a dozen or two (from a quick check) as far as actual bookmarks go. I use most of them, though there's a few I should probably prune at this point. I have a lot of tabs in tab groups instead though (500-ish?). That works better for me with frequent screen sharing for work calls (keeping URL bar suggestions restricted to bookmarks only), and matches my way of thinking about projects I'm working on better as well.

I also save pages with SingleFile that I want to preserve for future reference instead of bookmarking -- no point hoping they'll continue to be online and accessible when I can just keep my own copy locally... Looks like I've archived roughly 200 or so pages in the last year like that.

"Getting by" or "carrying on" assuming I don't want to invite deeper discussion of my issues.

I'm on my first playthrough of Space Age currently and while I've got something fairly complex on Nauvis with multiple stops and interconnects and loops and a half dozen or so trains... a lot of my needs on other planets are just point-to-point single train transfers. e.g. running a line out to a scrap patch on another island with millions of units of resources on Fulgora after exhausting the initial scrap I mined out. I don't even need multiple cargo wagons let alone multiple trains to max out my factory's input belt capacity there at the moment... Could the whole thing be more efficient? Oh yes -- but sometimes simple is good enough, and not having to build loops before I got the deep elevated rail support and/or foundations helped tremendously!

I think I was probably supposed to figure out the double locomotive thing in the train tutorial -- I don't remember there being loops on the track there... -- but I'm pretty sure I'd already built at least simple factories on everything but Aquilo before I realized it was even an option. :p

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out I could put locomotives on both ends of the train instead of having to build loops to turn around...
