Good.

Haven't heard much of Caribou, but I'll be working through this list over the next week or so.

Kaia Kater's album is lovely -- reminds me a bit of The Weather Report. And so far, Ruby Waters has been a pleasant discovery.

I was all set to be outraged at the omission of one of the best albums in a long while, until I realized it was released in late 2023.

Garett T Willie is a wild electric blues player, with way more depth and soul than his 23 years would suggest.

The Bethesda RPGs: Skyrim, Morrowind, Fallout series (although most of the hours probably into NV, which wasn't actually Bethesda).

I mean, the implied question is probably "*why *is he lying about this particular item?" I personally find it helpful to hunt down his motives for any given lie, as a measure of his trajectory.

Definitely read the article, but TL;DR It's acceptable (and necessary) to shut down Nazis.

I have a teenage son - a wonderful kid who keeps me going.

Not sure what I'm going to do in my dead marriage after he moves out.

I fence, and lefties have a significant advantage, just because we're used to fencing opposite-handed opponents.

Typical of oligopolies: "Encouraging more competition will hurt competition! Just leave us alone together and I PRoMISE we'll compete so hard!"

Last time he was in power, he unilaterally tore up the original NAFTA agreement. He's far more unhinged and unrestrained this time.

Including auto parts made in Canada and shipped to the US to be installed on made-in-America cars.

Bad headline. Much too polite.

"Alberta's Conservatives are blatantly lying about the climate for their own agenda. Again."

I have. In fact, I backed the development of it.

Definitely worth playing. Maybe a bit less memorable than the original, but also a bit more consistent. There are no huge difficulty spikes like the Meat Circus in the original.

The story is a bit more complex, and a bit more muted. Most of the levels are less memorable. But absolutely worth the time to play and enjoy.

Those stores were never "weed" stores, they were "smoking accessory" stores. You could buy bongs, pipes, incense, herbal tobacco (i.e. legal), and every manner of thing that wasn't actually pot. Unless you had an in with the staff, then as often as not they would quietly sell you pot.

But they always maintained the pretense of not selling drugs, which a growing chain of mushroom stores did not do.

Grim Fandango. Despite the weird tank controls, it created such an amazing world - and all in a point-and-click adventure. My home PC is named Manny, our NAS is Eva, the router/firewall is Glottis, and so on.

Also, Psychonauts. Just a perfect 3D platformer.

Fallout London - a FO4 mod. (really, a makeover and whole new game.)

"Yeah, I was skeptical at first but the polycule might be the way to go."

"Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone."

I predict innocent on most charges, with two years probation on mischief or something like that.

Here's my snarky take on it:

Because it's not the job of the mail client to decide what parts of the protocol should be hidden from stupid users.
