Alternating between Mythic Quest, which is done by the It's Always Sunny in Philly crew. It's very good!

And The Terror S1. It's also very good, and very dark.

As for hardware quality, I've had my Tab S5E for years, and it is super solid. It looks, feels, and sounds great. It's one of the few samsung devices that can be unlocked and Lineage installed on. So, if you're willing to put in the time to install Lineage on it, it's android 13 and the newest version of Lineage on it.

As a mod on a few garden and science subs at that time, they were pernacious and ethically inept. They would associate anything anti-pesticide or GMO with being an anti science quack. And they would dog pile on poor individuals expressing concern.

I had several debates with them, often reported them for brigading, and ultimately had to ban them.

I like the idea of having one big book to read in a year. I have done that with East of Eden and the Glass Bead Game. Both of which are meaty epic books. I tackled them initially as a rebellion against the short attention span world we live in. Even in reading niches, I all too often see reading challenges that set # of book goals. I think it's absurd to claim that someone has read 20 books in a year that are short, verses one long book. The former is often applauded while the latter is not.

Karamazov has been one that I've been wanting to read all my life, so maybe I'll attempt it in 2024 myself.

Non linear writing is a struggle for me, but I try to challenge myself with it. I'm currently reading The Waves by Virginia Woolf which is incredibly abstract but beautiful. I assume Gravity's Rainbow to be similar. But it's a thick book too.

Not to be contrarian, but the original sin of the US is the genocide of the indigenous populations.

And it's THE thing that few people want to confront.

How easily it is to normalize hate and violence to almost any human.

You can set up a jellyfin client on the Dell and control it from anything else. Jellyfin has clients for Linux Windows and Android. Once set up you can output anything from anywhere and control any of them from each other.

Just leave one of these on your headphones and you'll never know the difference.

Don't forget about dorks, geeks, and spazs. We're an inclusive community.
