They’ve been getting a lot of attention in Canada but “The Beaches” have been my jam lately
I’m a teacher. I’m looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They’re now at a really fun age and I can’t wait
Popstar is a classic and underappreciated in my circles
25% of men’s hair will thin before 21

This is the craziest thing to me…
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.
Inside the house, I’m bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it’s nice, I go out barefoot. If it’s snowy or frigid cold (I’ll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.
I don’t know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It’s a sign of middle age / senior age living here.

Harry Potter The Martian The Cosmere (all for Sanderson’s cosmere I’ve done a few times) The First Law Trilogy
One I will reread but just haven’t yet: Uprooted Codex Alera Legends and Lattes
4 years ago next week marks my mom’s diagnosis and the 10 months that followed. Watching your loved ones go slowly insane and become unable to speak and move in such a short time (she was mid 50s) when they should be healthy changes you. Everything I look at, everything I think about is now looked at under a different lense. And given my age, there just aren’t a lot of people around me who have any idea what it’s like and assume it’s just handling the pain.
Like… no. I’m different now.
Thanks! I needed to go back to the accessibility settings 👍🏻

Have made my day, most likely my week. Ads aside, I friggin HATE the Chromecast UI
Now, let’s pretend that I’m 5 yrs old. How do I get this to. Be the default launcher? I’ve already combed through the settings options and can’t seem to figure it out…
Late Night with Seth Meyers Last Week Tonight With John Oliver The Daily Show
I usually watch monologue / opening segments and pass out during the boring guest interviews.

My children are old enough for Lego now.
I’m more excited for their Lego christmas gifts then they will be!
Read 36 books and counting
Red Rising would be unreal Anything Sanderson would be nice. Especially his fantasy stuff but his Cytonic series would be good. The First Law Trilogy Codex Alera If Rothfuss wilould finish the friggin trilogy King killer Chronicles would be good
I went s7e - n10+ - s23
The s23 is a nice balance. I don’t have giant hands. I found the note 10+ to be too big. I dropped it all the time
You’d be surprised how much stuff you can miss in books and still be clipping along ;)
But in all seriousness, I have ADHD and sometimes my mind wanders and I have to rewind but it’s not often… anymore.
I found audiobooks to be a learned habit. I started with books I knew well already (hello Harry Potter) or books I watched the movies for (Lord of the Rings). It helped if I tuned out because I wasn’t going to to miss anything I didn’t already know.
A couple of pluses on audiobooks is that you can increase or decrease the reading speed depending on your comfortability (I usually sit between 1.4x - 1.6x, YMMV and it depends on the pacing of the recorded person). Also, you experience the authors work entirely without skipping things (which we often do as readers)
Apple exec doesn’t actually understand how computers work and think that that actually might be a reasonable arguement
I think a lot of Apple users fit this bill too so it doesn’t matte much if this is the messaging, a fair amount of people will believe it.
This is the nicest way someone’s put it. I’ve tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.
I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I’m going to have to figure out as I can’t get W11 on it.
I want to do it so bad!.. but I think I’ll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11
