I am old enough to remember the Jurassic Park hysteria. The movie itself is not too bad, but IMHO, it did not live up to the hype.

Happy 1st of April to you too, OP. :-)
Here’s a truly unpopular opinion: the book series Game of Thrones is overrated. Up until part three, the series was fun. The pacing was good, the story was compelling and the climax of the third part (not giving away any spoilers…) was as good an ending as one could expect. Then part four started with an entirely new set of characters, totally ignoring the current story and disrupting the pace. After slogging through that part, the fifth part was utterly forgettable. If there is (or will be) a sixth part, I will skip it.
I do not post comments that often, simply because I agree or disagree, but have no new insights to add to the discussion. I have seen too many ‘me2’ posts in my time.
I do not agree with the phobic part, as that would imply fear. The bigotry part is probably true.
I am not sure about the ‘one of the best’ part, but it is a great comedy movie. Disclaimer: I grew up on Tex Avery cartoons.
Is the Mask such an unpopular movie? In my own bubble, it is considered hilarious, so I am honestly curious on contrary opinions…
Getting some definite Daft Punk vibes here.
Judging by your user name, I’ll assume that you speak Dutch. The Heineken factory in Den Bosch is near the Brabanthallen. For context: this is a huge congress hall (or rather: a complex of several halls) that used to be a cattle market. I once went there a few days after a large cattle market. You could still smell the cow piss. To this day I still maintain that it is no coincidence that the Brabanthallen and the Heineken factory are so close to each other. :-)
In Dutch, it just means cat’s asshole.
I was having the same though about Heineken.
Lately, I was in a train. Across me, there is this man who keeps peeilng oranges, throwing black pepper on them and throwing them out of the window. After some time, my curiosity gets the best of me, so I ask him why he is throwing peppered oranges out of the train window. “Why sir?”, he says, “To keep the elephants away of course”. I replied that there are no elephants around, to which he says: “so it works!”

I’ll just keep referring it to as Twitter if I ever need to talk about it.

And the documentation is great!
I have a four year old Motorola One. The only gripe I have with it , is the poor support for alternative smartphone OS-es.
I simply use Joplin subnotebooks. I have one for home cooking and one for brewing beer. Markdown works well enough for me in terms of portability and readability. It also syncs between my devices, so I have several copies of my recipes.
For home brewing, I have written a few scripts that convert BeerXML to Markdown for easy importing. I create the recipes in my home brewing software (currently Kleiner Brauhelfer), export the BeerXML file and convert it to Markdown for secondary storing.
