“Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” Professor Faber

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • I have a few on my list I would see again.

    • Sum41: saw them a bunch of times when they first started getting popular. They put on a really entertaining show, but the band retired recently
    • Rancid: Lars sometimes does a standup routine between sets and he is hilarious
    • MxPx: I’ve seen them a dozen times in half a dozen cities in various sized venues. Kick ass show every single time

  • Green Day has been my favorite band for about 30 years and I saw them live for the first time in 2024. That show was so amazing and I was a dumbass for not going sooner. I’ll definitely go to another one.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

  • I loved Pantheon. I was sad when it was initially cancelled but happy it was picked up for a second season.

    It’s based off of loosely connected short stories in The Hidden Girl and Other Stories by Ken Liu. The stories are not exactly the same, but based in the same world and really good quick reads. I’m a fan of Liu’s work.

  • I’m a big fan of the books, but Cibola Burn is by far my least favorite in the series. I heavily dislike the chapters from Dr. Okoye’s view, just too much fawning over Holden, and this is coming from someone who enjoys romance novels. It really is the weakest in the series and picks up after that.

  • I absolutely loved that one and it’s based on one of my favorite Blake Crouch books of the same name. The show is great but the book is so much better.

  • Thanks, I appreciate it. I decided I’ll talk to him first, he knows me well enough to know I’d prefer to resolve the issue and that I don’t bring things up unless it’s serious because I’m deeply conflict avoidant. I’m still working on what I’m going to say, but I’ll probably be reaching out to him later today.

    And I don’t think my partner was doing anything in that game that was overtly “bad guy”, we were passing all the missions. It was that she refused to assist him with getting him out of jail so early in the game because he was being “shady”, therefore denying him any chance to even play the game with the rest of us. This was where I stood up and got pretty loud, which is very out of character for me. My issue with that is that he’s always her first target, not the other ladies, not her husband, always my partner.

    She’s overall good people, but it does suck when someone yucks your yum every time it comes up.

  • Oh I’m super aware of and excited for that game, but thank you for linking the trailer, I watched it all the way through even though I’ve already watched it 50 times lol

    I’m not a big gamer, but I do have specific games I get obsessed with and that will definitely be one of them.

  • The Expanse

    Jump

  • I’m so jealous. That is the one series I wish I could wipe from my memory and read for the first time again.

    I watched the first 2 or 3 seasons of the show before I read the books. I’m glad I did, it helped me visualize the characters because I don’t see images while I’m actively reading. The show is great, but I really do hope they eventually get to film the last 3 books. I went back to the show after reading a few books and I enjoyed the show more with the additional perspective. At one point, I was scrambling to finish a book before the new season started.

    The books are better than the show, but I am obsessed with both. I hope you enjoy the final trilogy arch as much as I did!

  • If you have the space, check out aerogardens or any of those aeroponic types. They are very easy to get plants going with very little effort, especially if you get an excess water reservoir. I’m pretty sure there are also instructions to build your own somewhere online.

    I have 2 set up that I grow lettuce and herbs in for my rabbits, but you can grow lots of different plants in it.

  • I had rats that I loved but I stopped keeping them as pets because of their short life span. Now I have bunnies who average 8-12 years. My bun who passed away last year was a few weeks shy of 13 years old.

  • Every year, I purchase a physical planner. It helps me stay organized, remember events and tasks, and since I make notes of my day to day in it, also acts as a journal. I’ve used the same company to create a customizable planner for the last 5 years and I love it.

    Focus more of my stretches on hamstrings. I get back pain due to an injury and sitting too much. Taking time every day to stretch my legs and pay close attention to my hamstrings has really helped reduce my day to day pain.

  • So I’m looking for a little bit of advice and I don’t want a full post about it.

    I have to talk to a girl friend (the wife of my long time friend) about comments she makes when our group gets together. She’s usually a very kind person, but she has said things recently that have gotten under my partner’s skin and to be honest mine too. It came to a bit of a breaking point recently when we were early into a game we have played only a few times (a secret bad guy game that I feel we are still kind of learning the rules). It turned into in game bullying on her part towards my partner, which was when I stepped in and pushed back pretty hard, her husband also stepped in and pushed back a bit. This later brought up my partner’s frustration with other comments she’s made about hobbies he enjoys (mostly financial talk). When she’s not interested in a topic, she makes snide remarks that seem to be an attempt to change the discussion, but they come off as judgmental and a bit hypocritical. Her partner is interested in the similar topics and it was disrupting a conversation between my partner and her husband.

    She may not necessarily mean them as derogatory towards my partner, but it gets rude when it disrupts conversations. It’s the little comments here and there that really add up. She often pushes her opinion by shouting down others and not letting their opinion be heard if it’s something she disagrees with. There is never an agreement to disagree, it’s always she is correct. This time was worse because it was in our home and she became disrespectful towards my partner, especially after the in game bullying.

    I prefer to avoid conflict, so it’s hard for me to bring up, but I know I have to. Should I bring my long time friend (her husband) into it to talk to her? Or does it need to come from me? Any advice on how to have that convo would be appreciated.
