Only when it can't be avoided! 😜

Yeah, with a site like Crunchyroll with so much to watch, you can just pick away it at your own pace. Have you seen @NormanicGrav's massive Legal Streaming thread, btw?https://forums.animeuknews.net/threads/legal-streaming-every-anime-available-for-the-uk-ireland-online.41/
It's really handy. It lists what's on CR (Crunchyroll) and others.

As for the data thing, I have to admit that I totally misread my using figure earlier in the month: it was 2.08 GB, but I read it as 2.8 GB. I'm crap with numbers. Hence dropping out of Higher-grade maths! 😅

I got a C in GCSE maths and worked my arse off for it. I'm just no good with numbers outside of calculating prices of Blu Rays and games ;)

'Neon Genesis Evangelion' Getting Official Fashion Line
Now I understand fashion even less....

Oh Lord, I thought they might be bringing out plugsuits or something XD

I would look suitably terrible in a plugsuit fyi...I'm glad they're not a thing!

I literally can't do the fashion "thing" - I wear what's comfortable, and quite often, it's men's clothing. I find men's t-shirt's and jumpers in particular much more comfortable, plus, they're cheaper to buy than women's clothing...

Dang you people and your problems with maths. Maths is fun!

I just can't do it XD I mean, if I'd had a better teacher in school, I might have at least developed an interest, even if I was still **** at it, but she was a complete cow - no patience whatsoever. Some people though just lack the aptitude for it. What gets me though is, you can be good at maths and science subjects, but if you then try art type subjects and you're not very good, it's okay - some people just don't have a natural aptitude for those kinds of things. But if you're arty, and you're rubbish at maths and science, you're perceived as dumb.

We can't all be good at everything...

I can do percentages reaasonably well, I mean, if I've got a piece of paper or a calc to work stuff out, and literally when I worked in retail and we'd have a sale on, we'd get customers who'd ask, "So what's 10% off of £50?"

I'm thick as two short ones when it comes to maths but dang, even I know it's £5.00 XD

Yeah Percentages are fine, I usually calculate discounts this way.

I live in jeans and tshirts when I bother to leave the house that is, though at the moment I've been wearing a lot of layers because it's cold as balls.

I REALLY do need jeans, I have one pair. I just don't have enough clothes in general, and whilst I don't want loads, I do need more than what I currently have! T-shirts are great because they're non-constrictive; I don't like clothing that's equivalent in feeling to wearing a hair bobble that's two twists too tight...
 
In a time when even the phone in my pocket can do several billion calculations per second, I think most maths is probably best left to the machines now. Unless you're like, inventing new maths or trying to solve mathematical problems which are currently unsolved or something. In which case knock yourself out.

That's... some pretty neat stuff, I thought. I love the character art on the Japanese website accessed through the other link.

FYI, though, my fashion sense is all but absent. 😅

Kaworu and Rei's clothes both make me cringe though; that's the kind of stuff I wore in my youth and thought it was "cool" XD Pair of fashion reprobates!

PenPen has it down pat; he rocks his t-shirt!

I hated mental arithmatic in school. I would love to have been able, and still would love to be able to solve a problem from the top of my head at the drop of a hat, but I just don't have the aptitude. Yet in school you're made to feel like a failure if you can't solve even basic problems...

I actually didn't do too bad at Pythagorean theorems; only basic ones mind you (hyp = side squared + side squared), but any of the more advanced stuff like trigonometry eluded me sadly...
