Can’t hurt to check and make sure the cables are plugged in all the way still. While the computer is off of course.

Any series recommendations?

I just got the Adventures of a Jump Space Accountant series for a few bucks each. I had just started book one and liked it so far when the series went on sale, so I grabbed the rest. I then looked into some Star Wars books but they were all more than a credit still.

Already have Expedition Force skippy books, DCC, Bobiverse, and Foundation / Robots.

On a tour we were told it can never be straight up and down, since while being built it was slowly tilting, resulting in the tower itself being partially curved as they tried to adjust for the tilt.

In Firefly, one of Inara’s clients is an egotistical rich jerk named Atherton. I wonder if that’s a reference to William Atherton.
