Arthur C. Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Me: "Therefore, any sufficiently complicated technical problem is indistinguishable from a curse."

I’ve noticed that my wife sometimes stores a spoon like this while cooking. It’s a good idea that I’ve adopted.

We met Christopher Judge yesterday and our 7 YO daughter is a big fan of SG-1 and Teal’c. He went out of his way to give her a free autographed picture and it is now one of her prized possessions.😊

Apparently, hacky sack is back with the youngsters.

It’s been in use for a while, but looks good!

Went to IMDb today and you now have to have an account to read reviews. No thanks. I remember that they used to have cool forums a long time ago. It's a shame to see enshittification everywhere.

Good job Artemis II team!

Why didn’t Colbie Caillat and Jack Johnson go on tour together? I would go see a Colby-Jack tour.

That’s hearsay.

Hear me out...Groundhog Day was a prequel.

In the movie Groundhog Day, how do you think Phil coped after escaping the loop? We're never told how long he was stuck in it, but it could have been for hundreds of years. Imagine going back to unpredictability, consequences, and mortality after all that time...maybe What About Bob is Groundhog Day 2.

I’m in need of info/recommendations:
I would like to get a certain special someone a nice sewing machine for Christmas. One that she would enjoy using. I know nothing about sewing machines. She used to have one that was good for canvas and leather, but terrible for clothes. She has a cheap small one that is basically useless. Anyone have any advice?

After a mostly effortless data retrieval from a borderline abused 3.5” floppy (27 years old), I just found out that I can fit about half an hour of opus encoded audio on a disk. That is amazing!

Found my old Karel the Robot disk…I think there’s some Pascal stuff on here too, at least there used to be. Amazing that I can get a drive and disks delivered tomorrow in 2025.

I never experienced the 1970's. Tell me something good or bad that you experienced from that decade that doesn't exist anymore. Could be just personal stuff, boosts appreciated.
