This reminds me of the book Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge. In it, a company uses a mulcher to grind down all the books and shelves in a library, then uses scans of the scraps to reassemble the books in digital form for an AR version of the library.
Current hourly forecast says we’re gonna get thunderstorms around 5 here, but the rain will start at 3.
Raw spinach is great, I can just eat handfuls of that all day. Cooked spinach is gross, both in flavor and texture.
He’s playing shuffleboard, I think.
A fire extinguisher. I’m glad I’ve never had to use it so far…
I thought trains were the most efficient way to ship goods, though I’ll concede that trains are notoriously bad at crossing oceans.
Calibre Companion, on android. For years it was the best way to sync books between my calibre install on my computer and my phone, even after the developer abandoned it. Then a while back, the dev released a single update that broke the app’s integration with reader apps, then disappeared again. I rolled that back extremely quickly, by grabbing an older version from my old phone.
Sluggy Freelance is a classic; it’s one of the oldest, longest running ones out there.
I’m similar, but it’s internal drives are planets, while external drives are moons.
I’m a big fan of my Lifestraw pitcher! It’s got a great filter.
I miss a few communities, mostly the creative writing ones. R/hfy and r/fanfiction, mainly.
I don’t name my machines anything special, but I’ve started naming my internal hard drives/samba shares after planets, and external drives after moons.
Even the remake of Pirates! is fantastic.
What about imaginary numbers?
Sluggy Freelance is one of the longest running webcomics in the world, and I think it is the longest running one where the author makes a living from it.
Oh, it’s a great book. Or at least, I liked it a lot. The library mulching was opposed by most of the characters.
