Oh yeah and I just noticed the one I posted (obviously not my own kitchen) was 2016's pattern and the current one is actually kind of lame anyway  (I didn't really notice it even had Moomins on it until I got home.)

I have to keep my ID visible and occasionally crawl around inside of vehicles and mechanical rooms. I broke two of the string lanyards before I got tired of it. I got one of these to replace the second one. I've since gone through a couple ID holders, but the lanyard keeps on trucking. Looks nice enough for business casual too.

Rolo posted:1987 sucka. I like the gold and rose gold, but this new one is sort of in the middle and I just didn’t like the way it looked with any cover. Okay, one of us, yadda yadda. I was a stalwart gold iPhone guy until the X, now it’s white and lame. Gold and blue cover was amazing before the dress meme. As for purchasing: had a freaking fantastic day at Disneyland with Mango Jr. today. Have passes but Purchased food so it counts, right?

Two of these boys because the drive in my NAS failed and I have learned the importance of redundancy: This case to make me feel better because my laptop dying and my NAS failing within 100 hours of each other sucks and I deserve to feel a little better even if I can't replace my laptop right now:

Finally upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy 5S to a Google Pixel 2XL. I was paying $50 for a SIM only plan with 12gb of data and I'm now paying $60 for a 15gb plan and the phone with an optional upgrade in 12 months for a newer phone for $129 and on a provider with a better network. Came with a free Google Home Mini which has been great but the novelty has started to wear off.

Rolo posted:“You could say I covered all the bases.” I described Cline's writing as "an autistic person describing his favorite video games." Other people have said similar things. It's just lists of things and events devoid of any emotion. At one point Wade is crying, and the only reason you know is because his internal monologue says he's crying. None of his dialogue actually comes off as sad, and he never describes his feelings in a way that would suggest he's crying without him telling you. Almost all of the action scenes except the final battle are incredibly short because Cline has no clue how to write action, so a gunfight against 50 NPC enemies is covered in two paragraphs and forgotten about. The characters and their depictions also fall full bore into homophobia, transphobia, and racism. His knowledge of the Internet also ended around 2003, so characters still use slang like "Suxorzs" or "L33t". The most recent game he mentions is from 1992.

So are these:    TheManWithNoName posted:Someone do the math on how long it would take to consume all that media. It’s approaching Groundhog Day levels of time. “My grades suffered” My friend is actually working on that. She counted 113 references to something that Wade definitely says he watched, played, read, or listened to. She took the most charitable interpretation possible (if he says "over a dozen", she put down 13 watches, and she didn't include anything that was just a minor reference that he could have gotten from Wikipedia or pop culture osmosis). He says it was 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and he's been a gunter for 5 years. That gives 22,000 hours that he would have had for research. She's not even up to the 40th item on the list and is already at around 13,000 hours.

Boy am I glad that I'm just one of these idiot rubes who just read the book in an afternoon instead, and vaguely enjoyed the warm bath of nostalgia that washed over me - an act, by the way, that certainly justified the $8 I paid for it on Amazon - instead of literally obsessing about every minute detail of it, letting it get stuck in my craw for years, now, and refusing to move on to anything else that I enjoyed, having to show everyone how clever and bright I am by pulling quotes of less than stellar writing any time it came up.

I enjoyed it and didn't get hung up on the heavy handed pop culture references. It wasn't amazing but a solid C+ or B- book. Will see the movie.

Apparently reading a tweeted excerpt from a book in 10 seconds and laughing about how bad something is is obsessing.
