Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.
Well, there's Fira Sans, but I don't know if it's what you want. I like to use it for things like slides and titles, and I've used it as a GUI typography for some time.
I use Fira Code Retina. I like that it is not too light, not too bold. I'm also partial to Cascadia Code and DejaVu Mono.
For the GUI, I use Adwaita Sans in both my GNOME and XFCE computers.
LEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYY JEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSS!
Very cool 👍 . Too bad I can't use it right now, because MPV 0.39 is affected by a ffmpeg bug where every video from YouTube plays without audio. It seems it has been solved in v. 0.40, but it's not yet in Fedora 41 (neither 42).
Welcome to the club! :D
From central Mexico, my favorite is huaxmole (or guaxmole, "mole de huaje"): pork with a sauce made of guaje (Leucaena leucocephala) seeds, green chiles and, sometimes, husk tomatoes. Other recipes use goat meat, red chiles and can be more like a soup.
Yes, everyone has different views about that. Personally, it's precisely because we have limited time that I want to experience a variety of things without limiting myself to a subset of all of the literature. Many people like to read, say, mainly Sci-fi and that's good: they know exactly what they like. Me? I tend to get bored of a particular genre or theme pretty easily, and that's why I like to be chaotic. One more thing: I really, really dislike other people or machines telling me what to read, so whenever someone gives me a book recommendation, that book goes to the bottom of my priority list 😅.
Only if you're what I call a "methodic reader", that is, someone who knows exactly what you want to read and don't want to derange from your preferred list of genres, themes and/or authors.
In my case, I like to experiment reading from authors or genres that I don't know, in different languages, many times using only the cover and title as a guide. I've discovered that things like recommendations, book clubs and social networks are not my thing. I apply the same criteria for things like manga, mahwas, webtoons and so on. So far, I can say that I've liked ~80% of what I've read.
Some years ago I downloaded from the high seas some torrents accounting for more than 34,000 ebooks. I loaded them in Calibre. Now, when I want to read something new, I just mindlessly scroll through the collection with my eyes closed and pick a book at random. So far, I've discovered good titles with this method ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Now, if you're talking about physical books, I tend to just wander around the bookstores or book fairs until I have my bags full and I'm too tired to walk anymore 😅.
This, and the fact that no matter how good the headphones/earbuds are, their batteries will, inevitably, die after some time. Even if the drivers and mics are ok, you will not be able to use them anymore unless you can replace said batteries (which I don't know if it is possible, particularly with earbuds). And if not, they transform in e-waste that cannot be recycled easily.
On the other end, I still have pairs of wired headphones and earbuds that I bought many years ago (some of them from the late 90s), that still sound as good as the first day.
I have a refrigerator from around 1988 or 1989 that still works perfectly. Around 1999, it stopped working, so we bought a new one. We didn't throw away the old fridge because we used it to store plates and cutlery, but we were sure that it was completely broken. Then, last year, a technician saw it and told us that only a component needed to be replaced for it to work again. Lo and behold, the damn thing was revived, and after a two-decade slumber it worked again as if no time had passed.
