A Reddit is Fun User and basic Redditor for over 10 years. Now I am a Lemmy and using multiple apps and browsers to access this site.
Also a life time gamer and father of three boys. I am also a writer and have published one novel with more on the way.
Oh yeah, I own a Kindle and forgot to add the two books I read off of it. Will be reading more on it for 2024 now that my library has Kindle support.
I had own that one for a long time. I can say I wish I had listened to it earlier it was a great novel. Will definitely be picking up a physical copy this coming new year just like all my autobooks. I have physical copies for most of them.
Actually, yes. Both Wally Lamb novels are my favorite. Any Johnathan Kellerman novel. Project Hail Mary is great.
11/22/63 was a nice read, and all the autobiographies were good. Christopher Reeves was heart renchin.

Lot of states do inspections Oklahoma definitely needs them. And I see these trucks all the time in my state. Didn't know it was a device doing it until I read this article but now I know. Bullshit and we need to take the license away from people who do this.
That would be awesome! Then we could get public control internet providers and cheaper internet.
I am pissed that West is running on the green ticket. I really liked him but now he wants to be the spoiler vote and help get Trump elected. He smart enough to know this wrong and that he only hurts the Democrats in our two party system.
Everyday I discover some new way corporations are destroying our lives on this planet all for a monterrey system we made up.
Anyone here ready for Holly by Stephen King?
I am looking forward to this novel. I love this character and look forward to reading another case with her as the lead.
I am a little frustrated when I noticed that Will Patton will not be the voice for the audiobook, but I will adjust because I will at least have a physical copy.
Who else is excited for this novel?
Is the same country who just made history landing a probe on the moon?
I disagree smart phones have shown an effect on people memory especially younger adults and children. Blue light alone causes are harm.
Also I use to be able to memorize every one phone number now we have contacts to store them in.
Also getting places we didn't rely on Google Maps.
Put in a dark cell for rest of their fucking lives.
Exactly if Advanced aliens exist they will see as not worth contacting because we are still bunch fucking apes who haven't evolved pass our lizard brains.
Lol yeah come get some of this Oklahoma weather I will trade you. Definitely somewhere I want to visit one day.
That beautiful how is the weather?
I found it to be excellent especially since we learn how Grace ended up on this mission. He redeem himself.
Me too man guess we're the only ones who know.
The sky hence rainbows. We liberals do it when it rains best way to temp the sky into gayness. /s
Listening to Project Hail Mary for the 3rd time excellent book. Great characters and the build up is excellent.

Stop Trying to Make Social Networks Succeed by Ploum on 2023-07-06
Lot is happening in the social network landscape with the demises of Twitter and Reddit, the apparition of Bluesky and Threads, the growing popularity of Mastodon. Many pundits are trying to guess which one will be successful and trying to explain why others will fail. Which completely misses the point.
Particular social networks will never "succeed". Nobody even agree on the definition of "success".
The problem is that we all see our little bubble and generalise what we observe as universal. We have a hard time understanding Mastodon ? Mastodon will never succeed, it will be for a niche. A few of our favourite web stars goes to Bluesky ? Bluesky is the future, everybody will be there.
That’s not how it works. That’s not how it ever worked.

Me and my boss explained how you could just have AI write your article etc. Then have those checking systems check it for you. Keep fixing it until beats the systems which with AI won't take long.
The view from top of Purple Mountain in Yellowstone
This was a category two hike 3 miles up a mountain. Largest hike I have ever undertaken. But was amazing view and worth the hell we went through to reach the top.
What is the best pack to buy?
I enjoy hiking and backpacking. I go to Yellowstone once a year.
What's the best pack to buy? I have one but bought it at Sports Academy and I feel there should be better ones out there.
