For anyone that hasn’t read it, the book Surely You’re Joking Mr Feynman is a delightful read. Especially the bits about him fucking with security during the Manhattan project.

Well that just solved the question of “what should I watch tonight?”

BofA ATM where I live will do this now. They give you options of 10s, 20s, 100s, or “pick for me”

Hey, as a random Internet stranger I’m just going to say that I’m proud of you. Everyone has their own path to becoming a better them and I’m glad you’re doing the things that work for you. Keep it up!

There was a Thai place I used to go to a lot. Hours were inconsistent and they would close for months at a time when the brothers who owned it would go back to Thailand from time to time. Best Thai food I’ve ever had. More impressive though was their customer service. Super friendly and they remembered everyone’s names.

You could go there for the first time, not go again for months, and the next time you showed up they’d greet you by name and remember what it was you had ordered last time.

This nearly gave me an aneurysm.

Ah shit, serves me right for posting off the cuff…

Though that is also a thing.

I had a math teacher in college who, on the first day of class, told an anecdote about her first boss. This boss told her on her first day that “sick of work” was a perfectly valid reason for calling in sick. That’s something that has stuck with me and I share that sentiment with new reports.

IIRC that was on the set of one of the Hobbit movies.

The Lord of the Rings was shot mostly using practical effects.

I started off really enjoying the series, but eventually had to abandon it as he kept adding increasingly over the strawmen who’s sole purpose was to be blown away by the might of Randian Objectivism.

Absolutely. Anansi boys is my personal favorite of his, but I think highly of all his books.

GameStop bought them a couple of years ago. That was the deathknell.

I’d second all three.

Neil Gaiman is absolutely one of my favorite authors and from what I’ve seen, a pretty great human being as well.

I loved Orson Scott Card’s books when I was younger, even the later Ender books. Unfortunately he’s also a pretty terrible person much like Rowling.

I never even received an email. I haven’t touched Minecraft in years, probably never would have again, but my daughter is getting into it and I thought it would be fun to play with her. I found out about the migration when trying to troubleshoot why I couldn’t log in.

I tried to contact support and they told me that they had “widely communicated the migration through email and social media” and that because I had missed the migration window, I would simply have to buy a new copy. I double and triple checked. No emails regarding the migration and I’m not on social media.
