I just want to second the GV-USB2, it's a nifty little device. I've used it to back up multiple home videos from VHS. The only thing is (at least this was the case when I bought my GV-USB2) all the instructions to activate it are in Chinese, you have to find a tutorial online if you can't read Chinese. But there's plenty of resources for you to take advantage of. Once you have it set up it's essentially plug and play.

The way I make my oatmeal, it could be considered a dairy product

I felt the warmth of my cat cuddling next to me when I woke up this morning.

I saw the light of the moon shining into my bedroom.

I heard the buzz of traffic humming through my window.

I understood that I had to set my fantasy football lineup because I forgot to last night.

Also, you don't have to take the cat out back and shoot him when he bites your nephew's face

they're out there

Not for everyone

That's...odd.

But then again smart phones weren't a thing when I was in school so most of this kinda stuff seems odd to me. I'm with the other guy, I'm glad I never had to deal with any nonsense resembling this.

My comment was supposed to be kind of wink wink tongue in cheek in tone, I'm sure that didn't come across.

I'm sorry for poking at fresh wounds. I lost my best friend too, many years ago. He was only 21, but there's no such thing as "old enough" because life is too short. And there's not enough time in this life to truly move on from something like that. There's nothing else I can say, I just hope you're doing well bud

That's a funny way of spelling Daggerfall

Jeff Buckley, no question. He released arguably the best album of the 90s (Grace) then went and fucking drowned. Only 30 years old. He coulda been one of the best to ever do it, but we're left wondering.

As someone who is the stupid party stoner friend to a big friend group of (mostly) tech bros, this list is pretty hilarious to read from the other side.

Also fuck you for saying I'm gonna die young.

I agree that Meryl Streep was absolutely perfect, as she always is. I was speaking on the casting for the TV show. I didn't hate her or anything I just thought she coulda been better

The casting for the movie was incredible, they really set themselves up for a great trilogy and it's a shame there was only one movie. The show is a magnificent achievement in tone and design but some of the casting choices left a bit to be desired. Off the top of my head I wasn't too fond of Sir, Josephine, or Nero. But gotta give them some credit, Jacques and Esme in particular were perfect imo. I also loved Jerome but I have the biggest crush on Tony Hale so I'm probably coming at that one with a bias 😂

Oh yeah, books first then the Netflix series afterwards. I think the show does a lot to expand the world of the books while not compromising its overall story and message. But you gotta read the books first.

Also has one of the better TV adaptations

The Tetris Effect by Dan Ackerman is a lot of fun, a pretty breezy read, and is fairly unbelievable for how true the story is. It involves (in varying amounts) programming, science, and DIY, mostly from an early-80s perspective (since a lot of it is about the development of the game), plus some corporate espionage and Soviet meddling.

I was only drinking a cup of coffee a day

Yaaaaaaawn. Let us know when you need an entire pot just to go to bed. No wonder you had such an easy time "quitting" lol

Well sugar doesn't inebriate you so that's not a fair comparison at all. You're not gonna accidentally kill someone while driving under the influence of sugar.

And banking. I send at least ten faxes a day.

Depends on age I think. All my 40+ year old friends have large DVD collections, as well as some in their 30s. I could see people younger than 30 not giving a shit about physical media. Personally I would go physical over digital.

Try Fern's season! You don't have to watch any of the seasons in order, they all exist in a vacuum. And it's all on YouTube! I say give S14 E1 a shot and see how you like it :)
