5 months agoI was kind of shocked how well Flight of the Navigator held up when I rewatched it for the first time as an adult a couple of years ago. The effects used for the ship were great.

6·5 months agoJust finished CABIN: Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman by Patrick Hutchison and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hilarious read. Revisiting Stiff by Mary Roach now, just because it’s been a long time.

The first time I heard the term dongle it was for the little adapter that connected to a PCMCIA card and I gave my buddy shit for using the term because I thought it sounded dumb. Then, on a trip to the local computer store an employee used the same term for the piece and I got to feel like the dumb one. Good times.

Okay, how about you’re Jimmer, you’re Jimmy, and you’re Jim Bob. So you all get to be some version of Jim and we don’t got to be in, fuckin… Cats.
And that radio telegraph operators weren’t using three letter Q-code shortcuts since the early 1900s.
Nothing. Recently lost my job and have absolutely no confidence that I’ll be able to get another; so life is pretty much at a standstill until something happens with that.
Thanks for confirming this. I’m atrocious at recognizing AI and thought I was just overthinking these reviews because there were a lot of em dashes
I installed Manjaro about six months ago because I’d never tried it. I like it so far and it has yet to get in my way enough to make me want to change.
I’m lamenting the fact that this scenario means I’ve lost all my fountain pens, but I’d go with #5 in a .38
2·1 year agoI just wanted to toss out another thanks for mentioning Notesnook. After a week I’m completely won over.
I recently started I Want A Better Catastrophe by Andrew Boyd. It’s good, but it’s rough and I can only read so much at a time which caused me to look for a humorous non-fiction title as a mental palate cleanser. For that I landed on The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes; which, in contrast, has been a lot of fun.
Couldn’t agree with this more. For me Bryson is the pinnacle of comfortable, informative reading. I find him very easy to listen to so the audiobooks he narrates may be fitting for OP as well.
It’s a book written in the 1960s that was one of my favorites as a kid. It’s been adapted into a couple of films, the most recent being in the early 90s. Essentially the story of two dogs and a cat that can talk to each other traversing the Canadian wilderness to find their humans.
edit: I got to wondering about the exact dates, so here’s some links in case anyone is interested:
1961 book, The Incredible Journey
Personally, without the ‘hair’ context, I would have checked the iron that you use with an ironing board to get wrinkles out of clothes.
