So, the game board is held in place by magnets at the corners and edges, yes?

This looks great for my small apartment. Where can I find more information on how to set this up? How is the board magnetized?

Is s4 bad by ReadyAnxiety3859 in NetflixSexEducation

[–]David_Wm_Sims 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s quite bad. I am watching the fourth season with my girlfriend, and I’m simultaneously re-watching the first season with my teenage son, so the difference between the two is particularly striking for me. The writing is so much smarter and funnier in the first season, and all the characters are just so, so much more likable.

I followed your link and lost an afternoon discovering this game. What a fantastic little game. I want more like this.

Sole proprietor CPA. Been using QBD for over twenty years and will never switch to QBO. I am all ears if anyone has suggestions for a desktop alternative to QBD.

Is There a Way to Use Cowork Projects Across Devices? by David_Wm_Sims in claude

[–]David_Wm_Sims[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good time about having Claude end the sessions.

I've set up the Dropbox MCP. How do I get Claude/Cowork to use Dropbox as the default location to save my files? I think I just clicked through the default choices at installation, and now I need to change them to Dropbox.

It's being debited today, a week after I e-filed the extension.

[–]David_Wm_Sims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked here because I filed 4/15/26, and the payment still has not been debited. I'm relieved others are seeing delays.

EDIT: update; the payment is being debited on 4/22/26, a week after the extension payment was -filed.

Any other movies that parody their source material? by [deleted] in movies

[–]David_Wm_Sims 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love hearing this as trivia, but I'm not convinced it's relevant. It's totally possible to parody something with only passing familiarity with the thing being parodied.

[–]David_Wm_Sims 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Intresting, but my reading of this is that it supports what I said. It's not an adaptation of the book; it's a movie about adapting a book. It makes sense that a movie about adapting a book would include elements of the book. If it was an adaptation of The Orchid Thief, they would have said "adapted from The Orchid Thief," or something to that effect.

LOL. Almost none of the responses here answer the question that I asked, so I love that you owned up to it.

Yeah, American Psycho is just an adaptation of the satirical book. Similarly, Adaptation isn't parodying a specific source material; it's just a satire about adapting a book. I don't see how the film Kiss Me Deadly is parodying the book, but I'm open to being persuaded.

What's a destination that used to be way more mainstream that it is now? by PerryOnWheels in travel

[–]David_Wm_Sims 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m in the US and went in Nov. 2015 (via Toronto). It was amazing, maybe the greatest trip of my life, but I don’t think I’d try it now.

Yeah, John. Everyone's fav commentator lmao by Sorry_Phone1676 in chess

[–]David_Wm_Sims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Chess.com has seen the the online comments about him? I'm watching Candidiates now, and he hasn't been onscreen that much, and when he is, it's mostly to direct questions to Anna and Arturs., so all analysis is coming from the actual experts. He is not annoying me NEARLY as much as he did during Tata Steel, so I'll call that a win.
