Oh that’s a good suggestion! Definitiely worth reading!

There’s a few hilarious episodes, but most of it is just weird for the sake of weird without being actually funny.

I recently re-watched Ren & Stimpy and they did not age well. Cow & Chicken has aged better, but is a product of its era too much to have lasting value.

Futurama is an excellent choice. That one has my vote as well.

I have already read some excellent suggetions. Here’s some of mine:

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (the Lifeship Trilogy is excellent as well)) The Many-Colored Land series by Julian May Imajica by Clive Barker

Don’t bother with the Ice and Fire series by GRR Martin. The first three books are good and the rest is meh. As per the fourth book, an entirely new set of characters and storylines were introduced, without actuallly finishing the story after the first three books. The story will not be finished and that’s a bummer. Life’s too short and there’s too much better stuff out there.

Well I can’t argue that. Thanks.

You mean Operation Which Epstein Files? I don’t know. As a EU citizen, I do not see much on the Epstein files in US media.

Source? As far as I know, almost any Western civilization has most people in the Boomers / GenX age brackets, so way before 1979. Same for Japan.

Maybe I am cynical, and I am by no way a military expert of any kind, but I would figure that an A-10 is more expendable than a F-35.

I am in the ‘A-10s are cool’ camp, but I do not think that they are particularly useful anymore on a modern battlefield.

Um… Streets of Minnesota anyone? I am ot a huge fan of Springsteen, with this song he lived up to his nickname.

Thank you for calling out a pet peeve of mine.

Agreed about it being a special place. That’s why it popped into my head in the first place. But the many bus loads of people being loaded ever day makes it a tourist trap. The higher parts are more tranquil though.

Adding to this already good post, a side benefit of a service like Vaultwarden is that you can use the same password management system among all your devices.

I actually loved Mont St. Michel.

Is that an apple thing?

Sadly no. I have had several Lenovo’s with the same thing, and my current Asus at work does not allow swapping memory or SSD either. My daily driver is a Tuxedo, which does allow all this.

The apple of the automotive world.

From what I hear from a BMW mechanic in the family, they are starting to become the Acer of the Automotive world, although they would have to compete with Volkswagen for that title.

Please allow me to broaden the context. I used to be an avid motorcyclist. I had a 2000 BMW R1100, which I could service with a modest set of tools. A more modern BMW appears to be very hostile to home mechanics. Even the screws have a corporate head nowadays. Servicing a BMW has become very expensive, as it requires some extremely specialized mechanics (or so they say). My next motorcycle, if I ever buy one, will NOT be a BMW.

It fits in a trend: consumers are being kept from servicing, upgrading or otherwise extending the lifespan of their devices. Repair a smartphone? Good luck. Swap an SSD in your laptop. Tough, buddy. Want to set up your dishwasher. Sure, download the app, give your GPS coordinates and the birth date of your firstborn and you can set it up.

Me and the wife made it a point to choose names with actual meaning for our kids. The youngest certainly lives up to hers. She has a name fit for a warrior and she is a fierce one.

Armchair general here who is bad at strategy games. Please take with a grain of salt.

The US sent advanced armies at several agricultural societies and still got their asses handed to them. I can imagine that in a domestic setting, the death toll will be high, but that the civilians eventually win. Also, I wonder whether the military would want to fight their own people. Then again, ICE is a thing as well.

Where are you from, OP? Not only do we not eat dessert right before bedtime (where did you get that silly idea?), but where we live, dessert is commonly either milk-based, fruit based or both.

It would have to be very, very bad and it would weigh heavily on my soul if I ever were to speak those words to my children.

Important? No. I write open source software for a living, but have been partly railroaded into a corporate project that sucks the joy out of work.

Proud? Fuck no!
