Eh, to each their own. I liked it. I also liked the different pacing than the movie. It made more sense.

I recommended The Painted Man, which I had just read and thought was pretty good. A friend of mine read it (and liked it) and, contrary to my fate, proceeded to continue the series. Next time I saw him he was fairly mad at me, stating the the series took a sharp downturn in quality after the first one. After this I haven’t been able to get him to read any other books, despite the one I actually recommended being fairly good. So in a way, this was me recommending a really bad book. Which just happened to be good.


Yeah, it’s not that easy with social media. If half the children in class use it, the pressure on the other half is immense. One more, one more. If no one uses it, it’s much easier to say no and not feel like a douchy parent.


I have personally experienced librarians and they have helped me when in need.


Just a few old ones…
Art of Noise - The Best Of … but all are good
Yellow - Pocket Universe … but also The Essential
Moloko - ?
Kosheen - Kokopelli (I think)


I have that. I just got hue first, so all my lamps (or at least the old ones) are registered in hue. I haven’t taken the time to move all of it over, so now I have two competing networks.


Just got some power measuring plugs. Home Assistant and immich-running raspberry pi + NAS (dual 20TB in raid 1) + switch clock in at around 30W. Surround receiver playing music ups that by 90W. After a minor water leak I added 5 leak sensors to the system that will blink lights and send texts if they detect anything.
The biggest problem is that I’m still running lights through hue and some of them have an annoying tendency to drop off the network…
Subtle. I loved The Grudge, which to be fair, isn’t incredibly subtle, but it has so many great ways to be creepy!


“Don’t visit fascist countries” sounds easier…
I too was about to day Dungeon Keeper for mobile. What a wasted game.


Sure. But also the imminent demise of our online privacy feels like it’s doing its own bit of threatening.


The obvious next step would be for EU to invade Ukraine as well, telling Russia to leave or they will be considered legitimate targets.


They’re sort of doing that now though with DC and Chicago.
I will flee to neidu3.
