Same with me. They just embody relaxation and good times. Makes me smile when I hear steel drums.

I’m not ready for memes to be high quality. I feel a disturbance in the force.

If you got it, flaunt it.

Reminds me of Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians. The main character’s talent was breaking things. Takes a while for them to turn it into something other than just a curse.

Just to show the scope of talents in the book, the main character’s grandfather was late to everything. Someone shooting at him? He’d arrive too late and the bullets would miss.

Doesn’t matter to the suits, but it matters to the people who actually create the content.

That’s a processor, not a computer.

My first computer was the Tandy 1000 RLX which also had a 286 processor in it.

Seems unnecessary…

I have a reading book and a listening book on the go. Still working on Stormlight Archive book 5: Wind and Truth. The good guys just experienced another major setback, and the setbacks keep piling up. Makes it a bit hard to want to carry on even though you know most things will turn out in the end.

I’m also listening to Brandon Sanderson’s The Reckoners series. I’m on book 3 and been just loving the premise of “What if there are superheroes, but they’re all evil? What do the regular people do?”.

My mom used to misplace her keys all the time, so she bought this device that makes a sound when you whistle, and then you can find your keys. The main problem with it was that it would also activate when she laughed, like a depressed person who only wanted to fit in and would laugh along with you. But hearing this thing make a sound when you were laughing just took you out of the moment. Very annoying and the device didn’t last long in the household. I suppose nowadays you could get an airtag or similar for your keys.

That keyring is fobulous!

Aww, thank you LadyButterfly! I like having this nice little reminder pop up in my feed.

So far, I think I’d visit OP’s island over anybody else’s.

Mine would be Weird Al, Vengaboys, Dua Lipa and Barenaked Ladies.

Why isn’t an easy way to move images around the default?

Probably better for you anyway. Microwave popcorn is loaded with PFAS chemicals nowadays. It’s put in the liner of the bag.

The sometime later is getting a call from the doctor that they have an STD and needed medication for it.

I also like how OP implied beer goggles were involved.

The Sunlit Man was so good. I love books that have fast pacing right from the start, and trying to figure out how the world worked was so much fun.

Also the sort of things the schools spend money on. I don’t know from experience, but I think US schools pay for police officers to be at the school. That seems crazy to me, and expensive.

And I’m so happy we got rid of them.

I still remember being about 9 years old and reading up on what that hell a phalanx was in the Civ 1 civilopedia. I was slow rolling into the game and they’re great defensive units. Didn’t learn how to pronounce the word for quite a few more years.

This hit me hard.

But if the gameplay is starting to get boring, it sounds like like you’re on your way to your midlife crisis!
