  1. As far as I can remember, I have not seen the original cut of season 4, only the Netflix “remix”; despite the mixed reception, I think that on the whole the last two seasons are at least as strong as the first three in most respects↩︎

  2. As far as I can remember, the English dub on Netflix is not very good; prefer the original German audio with subtitles↩︎

  3. not that I disrecommend the later seasons, but I have not seen them yet↩︎

  4. I seldom use KDE anymore, for several reasons, but it’s generally a robust and well-designed desktop environment. I recommend it over GNOME, even for people new to Linux.↩︎

  5. I no longer use this, but formerly did for quite a while, and was pleased with its quality and ergonomics.↩︎

  6. I have used this very little myself, but it’s still interesting enough to be worth mentioning↩︎

  7. reader discretion advised↩︎

  8. my favorite variety is the Chipotle - Roasted Garlic - Toasted Onion mixture↩︎
