Our HR "coordinates" with us and it's not much better.

The form clearly states that they start on the 15th, then ask on the 10th why the user can't start work.

They put the wrong office location so we ship their equipment to the office listed on the form then ask why the user can't start work.

They send an immediate termination notice for a user that leaves at the end of the month, then ask why the user can't work.

They mark that the new hire doesn't need a laptop on the new hire form, then ask why the user can't work.

It's almost like the forms are intended to convey information for others to act on.

"Oh Comely" by Neutral Milk Hotel has a "holy shit" heard at the very end. It's an 8+ minute song that Jeff Magnum nailed on what was supposed to just be a sound test before recording.

My favorite is "Stephen's Last Night in Town" by Ben Folds Five. There's a rising clarinet part that climbs to a climax with a brief pause at the peak and a phone rings in time and in key in the background during that pause.

Maybe I'm just getting old but the gameplay loop of Rockstar games has gotten tired. RDR2 was gorgeous but the mission formula was just so boring.

If I'm using the computer I'm in a program. If I'm not using it, it's asleep. Don't really get the point of anything other than solid black.

Seriously. I only finished the main Book of the Fallen series this early this year and just can't get interested in anything else fantasy now.

It's one thing to make you feel something when a character you've been with for 10 books dies, but when an author can do the same with a character you're with for a handful of pages, it's something else.

!Abasard's death in Reaper's Gale still resonates with me. !<

You can make real cheeses melt better by using powdered sodium citrate. The ratio depends somewhat on how hard the cheese is but it's somewhere around 2-3% sodium citrate to cheese.

The Goonies

Book 3 was where I gave up on the series. I want to say that I was in my early 30s when I started the series and had many of the same problems you did with it. Friends of mine who highly recommended it had all read as teens.

There are so many good books out there that I don't have time to struggle through one I don't enjoy, much less 10.

I think it's technically supposed to be an acknowledgement that the message was received.

Hollow Knight

I remember renting the NES version from the grocery store 30+ years ago. I remember the half pipe was a pain to control, BMX and Hacky Sack played well, and if you went over the top of the wave on surfing, the Jaws theme would play and a shark would show up. Can't remember if that was every time or just occasionally.
