The funniest thing Eric Adams has done, imo, was when a Israeli interviewer asked him his thoughts on Israel, Eric said he loved it so much he is planning on moving there after retirement, when the interviewer asked where in Israel Eric replied the Golan Heights

My wife and I started watching the Korean dating show Singles Inferno on Netflix. It’s pretty good, and I am so amused at how the contestants are seemingly obsessed with iced Americanos. The first scene where the 1 guy and 2 girls go on a date and get served americanos had me dying on the floor, their pleasure was so immense

Ornery, thank you for checking in. We are doing okay, riding it out in the house and hoping my wife can land a job by summer. Her citizenship interview is coming next week which will help out a lot if she passes. This civics exam has some tough questions, like knowing who the authors of the Federalist papers are.

Yeah some of the other questions are also tricky. They ask you for the 3 rights guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence, and my wife was rightfully very confused why both the Constitution and the D of Ind guarantee civil rights. I had to tell her that the D of Ind is just a long whiny letter, and not binding law at all, no one has the right to happiness for example.

edit: C-Euro for us its 10 random questions picked from a bank of 100, you have to answer 6 right.

I have had a hard time watching any TV besides reruns, my brain just doesn’t want to sit and learn the plot of a new story

If the group exercise and leaderboard/social aspect of Peloton is what gets you regularly working out, that’s great. Some people are very motivated by group exercise and rankings and stuff.

Despite being a huge fan of the books I have no interest in Reacher the TV show. I suppose it’s because Lee Child’s writing style is central to my love of the books and of course the show won’t have that

I've enjoyed the Jack Reacher books I've read but your second sentence is still very weird to me. I mean, even if you only read airport fiction you're probably reading more than most Americans so good on you.

I'm mostly thinking about the time Jack Reacher punched a guy in the chest in between heartbeats and instantly killed him (in fairness he didn't know he was punching him in between heart beats, it was just an amazing coincidence)

What I mean is I like Lee Child’s short choppy sentences and no-fluff style of writing. The show just looks like a generic action thing. My favorite Reacher book is Tripwire

my friends, I come to you hat in hand, an idiot and a luddite, asking some very basic questions on how to set up a new Windows 11 Home laptop.

I bought a Dell/Alienware R4 laptop, but I have heard whisperings that I should do a 'clean install' of Windows 11 Home to remove the bloatware that comes with it, and to generally improve PC performance. This is my first new computer in like 8 years, and I've mainly used Apple computers so I barely know what I am doing. I don't know what things like BIOS are.

1. What is the easiest way to clean install Windows 11? I have my product key and a 128G formatted USB flash drive. Should I download Windows 11 to the USB from Microsoft's website, and update my BIOS settings to boot from that USB, and do it that way? Along the way I will use the third-party software "Rufus" to help in some way. I feel like I could really screw this up and permanently damage my computer perhaps, I once remember my dad telling me never to mess with the BIOS, but he is aware I am an idiot and was maybe considering that.


2. What is the best anti-virus software?

Started the tutorial for Crusader Kings 3. Get to the part where it says I need to find a wife for myself. No problem, I find a beautiful lowborn lady named Wulfwynn and we get married, she is now the Petty Queen of Munster. I save and quit the game to desktop because I have to go take care of my real life infant.

I come back after some time and pick up the tutorial where I left off. It’s still asking me to find a bride for my character, so I’m a bit miffed that it didn’t save my progress but oh well, let’s find another wife for my guy Murchadd. I find another lowborn woman, a craven gambler, and marry her. I then click on my character screen and Wulfwynn is my wife? Then who did I just marry? Well it turns out that lady is a Secondary Wife, and a few years later she kills my cousin and flees Ireland. What a game.

My most trusted courtier is a random Mongolian guy who showed up in Ireland with great, fantastic healing aptitude. I had to blackmail him into converting into Catholicism but otherwise we are inseparable and I trust him greatly.
