  • If I had to pick just one it would be Red Dwarf. I watched it so many times I can’t even count it.

    There are also some series that aired at the time I was returning from school I’d happily watch if they were on right now. Even though I’m not that interested to search for them though. Shows like Renegade, Walker Texas Ranger, Baywatch or whatever that Star Trek with captain Picard was. This is hugely influenced by time and place as our eastern block country just opened to western shows and movies and everything looked so flashy and bombastic. And everything was flashy and bombastic compared to bland and gray local production at the time.



  • Czech (and Slovak, mostly also Polish) use formal/informal you similar to German or French. (At least from my limited understanding of those.)

    Formal: High schools, universities, work environment, courts, etc. You also use it when you’re speaking with older people or when you want to show respect to person you’re talking to.

    Informal: Everywhere else. It is also used when you want to indirectly insult person where formal should be used.

    Life hack: You can use informal absolutely everywhere when you’re old (even when it’d be very disrespectful otherwise) and nobody gives a shit.



  • I have 2 monitor setup. Primary one is 165 Hz VA, the other is 60 Hz IPS as secondary screen for stuff like chat or background video. While the VA has some problems (it can’t catch some particular color changes in needed time-frame), it’s generally much smoother. Not just games, but in desktop workflow too. You suddenly feel your mouse is somehow smoother on one screen and feels choppy on the other. Ever since I got the 165 Hz monitor, I’m constantly thinking of upgrading the secondary one too, just for the smoothness. The only thing holding me back is it’s just more money spent when not needed, but man… the QOL surely is there and is so tempting.
