Canada for me!

Yes!

Holy cow haha. I “bought” so much music there. They got a ton of obscure gypsy brass band stuff for me when I asked too (Fanfare Ciocarlia)

Memory unlocked.

I definitely know what you’re talking about (dispite not remembering the name of it) but they had everything. And if they didn’t, you could request it and they’d find it.

I miss that site now

Same here!

Although I do love “Blame Brett”

They’ve been getting a lot of attention in Canada but “The Beaches” have been my jam lately

Popstar is a classic and underappreciated in my circles

25% of men’s hair will thin before 21

80% by 50

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

Oooo and there’s also the Cytonic series by Brandon Sanderson. Again, YA but really good (or at least up until book 3, I haven’t finished 4 yet)

Martian read by RC Bray is infinitely better than Wil Wheaton.

PHM is great

But I’m mostly commenting to give a nod to the Reckoners series. It’s a YA novel sure but it’s a super interesting concept

• 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.

TLA is “The Last Airbender” for me

As a Canadian, its never been so divided as when the previous president was in power. Are we divided? Yes.

As bad as when Cheeto Dorito was in power? Absolutely not.

Lego Harry Potter on Switch is what my wife and I did and she liked it. She is not a gamer.

Weirdly enough she also liked Mario Golf on switch.

Read 36 books and counting

Canada's the same to a max of 5 yrs. You can get longer ones but the rates suck

My understanding is because it's Canadian law that after 5 years banks can no longer charge you for early cancellation. In the states they can for the entire duration of the mortgage. Which, benefits the banks when rates go up, the buyer when rates go down (and the opposite in the states)

I hate finished the trilogy. It was at this point I learned I don't like SciFi, I like space operas

What's the most modern you could emulate on an android phone (s23)?

And is retroarch the best bet?

I've been entertaining the idea of buying a cheap laptop to play with Linux after yesterday's posts and the idea of being able to emulate some more modern stuff and maybe install steam is appealing.

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)
