I would recommend Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Madoka Magica, as well as Planetes if you’re into sci-fi. Girls Und Panzer is super fun as well.

Is that why people go “Ah, ‘37, a very good year”?

I used to take the train quite a bit - like the general consensus here, it was scenic, comfortable, if slow and non-punctual. But I was willing to put up with that if I had a non-time-sensitive trip, since it was so much better than flying or driving. For one trip from Washington to Minnesota, I decided to fly out then take a sleeper car back (Empire Builder). All went well, until the train derailed and three people were killed. Not Amtrak’s fault, and I don’t blame them at all, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to ride another train since.

Yet.

I love working on my car and taking it to meets and shows, but I have a hard time finding friends in the community for exactly this reason.

So how come when I mix all my watercolors I get brown?? Checkmate atheists

One Dyson sphere, comin’ up

That’s a tough question, but I’d say the Pontiac GTO. I just love the way it looks, especially the stacked headlights

I’ll gladly talk about cars with you!

I’ve been getting into collecting vintage hi-fi equipment (1960s and later, though) and this sounds absolutely amazing

I was on this train. Amtrak paid me a settlement not to sue them, but it’s not Amtrak I blame, it’s BNSF, who owns the track. It’s very clear from the camera footage that the track was badly misaligned by the time the train went over it at 80 mph. That line is one of the busiest in the country, and if the freight locomotives (one of which had gone over that section of track barely an hour prior) had some kind of monitoring system, they would have alerted all the other trains to stop or slow down. I used to love riding trains, but our rail infrastructure is much too far behind places like Europe.
