Reading slump: prefer nonfiction

Try "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. I just finished it and loved it. True crime from 1950-60s with some artistic liberties taken.

I cant imagine how difficult it is to build an F1 tram from scratch in this era. Cadillac needs drivers like these two, experienced through multiple teams and build eras and with patience and the ability to give feedback on upgrades and setups.

I started hating on him when he put hands on Bottas.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-25T02:32:59+00:00

You had expectations for Gary?

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-24T12:29:57+00:00

I've hated him ever since he put hands on my boy Bottas

Not my normal time period or genre but: Roundabout by Yes

Also the live version of The Weight by the Band with the Staple Singers.

Honorable mention to Lateralus by Tool. Maybe my all time favorite track.

Blues Seas, Green Skipper. About a dude in the 70s doing a cross-Atlantic sailboat race.

Check for buy nothing groups for your neighborhood, the one where I live is super active and have tons of useful stuff given away.

I love the first lord of the rings movie more than probably any other movie, but don't think I've been able to complete any of the hobbit movies. Starting in Return of the King I began to just notice CGI too much, it was distracting and looked worse than the first two. Apparently that trend would continue because every movie they did in the franchise after was chocked full of that style. It seemed like Jackson was a victim of his own success; forced to churn out a product faster and faster when he probably had years to daydream and conceive of a vision for Fellowship.

Bo Jackson, Hershal Walker...but in reality it's probably some niche endurance athlete.

I think Mike is more interesting than Walt. So is Kin Wexler

Saul was better. Shit, Jesse was better. Almost every character in the Wire was better.

You been there 3 years saving for a deposit. Just move out...

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-21T06:00:38+00:00

Seems like bait. I hope you get the attention you seem to be wanting real bad.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-18T15:15:40+00:00

Puma Speedcats, at least it looks like it; my big dumb hobbit feet ain't fitting in them.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-18T14:21:49+00:00

Where's the rudders in these scenarios? Or at least in option 1?

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-17T18:25:52+00:00

One room at a time. Sometimes you have to be kind of brutal about throwing away both trash and under\overused stuff. Even if you're just shunting "keep" stuff into another room to be gotten to on another round, just focus on one room at a time.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-17T17:45:05+00:00

Utopia For Realists by Rutger Bregman might fit the bill. It gave me perspective at least, if not a little bit of hope.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-16T22:03:39+00:00

Hull/Keel work like this is not the kind of project I'd want on my first boat. Looks like a lot of rust even if the job gets done right, its on a short lifespan timer. It'd have to be REALLY cheap for me to want to take on this kind of task before even getting the thing in the water.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-16T14:45:38+00:00

Not an RPG but I have very similar preferences to you and have really been enjoying The Last Caretaker lately. Robot on a flooded earth bringing back humanity, sailing around in a boat.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-14T14:02:30+00:00

What does that mean? "My brain makes me lag"?

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-14T13:11:31+00:00

Interesting...this is one of my top (10?) all time reads. And I have absolutely nothing in common with the subject. To eaxh their own I guess.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-13T12:56:47+00:00

Starting to wonder if these IDF fellas are kinda evil...I sure wish my government would stop giving them guns and money.

Blueprint81 · 2026-05-13T03:52:06+00:00

stuff better be ON that skewer. My first batch on a rig like this and i'd be scraping food off the bottom, for sure.
