The democrats are easier to hate because they act like their your friends, at least the republicans are just full mask off and will say you're a fucking subhuman. For reference, I think they're both abhorent, just that republicans don't lie to you about it.
"Well, Steve [Jobs]… I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbour named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."
You know, I never used them historically because I could always remember my page number, so why use one? And then the library got me addicted to collecting all the different designs that would show up damnit lol
Talking Heads are amazing. One of my favorite bands of all time. I can't remember what it was called but my buddy had a book written by Burns on music that he said was pretty, a quick search should bring it up.
I've actually got pretty good at setting aside my usual preferences to just grab something new and random. It's worked pretty well so far and I've discovered and read things I never would have otherwise. Usually I just browse the shelves and pick stuff out that stands out for one reason or another. Also, if your library is like mine they have 'grab bags' where you can request a librarian to put together a random assortment of stuff. Right now I'm reading 'Audition with a Fox', about a girl undergoing a religious training under the tutelage of the fox trickster god and the other book is 'The Anubis Gates' set in 1900 Egypt and dealing with Egyptian occult beliefs and time travel. Both things I wouldn't have typically picked up...well Anubis Gates probably but the Audition with the Fox book not likely.
Some are talking about power consumption in this thread and I've had similar ideas. Gone are the days where I can run a beefy spec'd desktop in good conscience, it's just such a resource hog. I have a laptop that stays in hibernate mostly. My other idea for a low power consumption home computer was to get a Le Potato single board and pair that with an e-ink monitor (there's some really nice ones out there) which I think was sitting at maaaaybe ~5kwh. I think the more we can limit our power consumption, the better, all that electricty directy translates into coal being burned and additional CO2 being created. I'm no luddite, but it has impacted how I consume media which is now very mindful of the impact watching a few episodes/playing a couple hours of games versus just one or two hours of content on any given day.
