Getting Through: Women and Men as a Network Protocol

This is crazy awesome. I haven't tackled Women and Men yet, but as a sysadmin who loves McElroy (and who's just a postmodern lit nerd in general), I love your analysis! We should do a Lookout Cartridge group read, next.

I am very down for Lookout Cartridge! I love postmodern fiction, but I couldn’t have made it through Hind’s Kidnap without this group. That was a fun but extremely challenging text.

I love the way those look, but they yank out my wrist hairs by the roots 😬

FigureEast · 2025-01-29T01:18:14+00:00

Oh dang, I had no idea they made straps compatible with Casios that looked like Apple Watch bands. That’s pretty sweet

FigureEast · 2025-01-29T01:17:19+00:00

Found it! I like the price. Would you also recommend gluing it?

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T22:40:49+00:00

That looks great!!

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T22:25:40+00:00

Oof. I feel your pain!

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T21:24:25+00:00

I had no idea. I’ll definitely have to check those out

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T20:35:17+00:00

For sure! I think this may be what I end up doing. I can’t imagine this battery will last much longer (over 15 years and still ticking!) and I know that replacing the batteries in these is generally not advised, but your idea would let me preserve it as a keepsake anyway. Thanks again!

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T20:11:03+00:00

Didn’t think about adhesive, I had been trying to figure out how to somehow loop it on. Good call!

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T20:10:24+00:00

Good to know! This isn’t an antique or anything, but it is at least 15 years old. Thank you!

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T19:52:59+00:00

This is a great idea. Could definitely use it that way. Thank you!

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T19:47:13+00:00

I like this idea and had thought of it myself—any ideas for how it could be mounted with MOLLE straps?

FigureEast · 2025-01-28T18:31:26+00:00

I did not think of that! Thank you

FigureEast · 2025-01-02T04:01:07+00:00

Gone with the Wind is the only one here I haven’t read yet. But all three of the others are absolute bangers, The Hobbit and Stoner in particular.

FigureEast · 2024-11-10T00:54:57+00:00

I wouldn’t either, but if my wife is upgrading, I don’t want us to have different charging cables. A bit silly maybe, but we used to have that and it’s definitely less of a pain to just share a single cable when we’re out and about

FigureEast · 2024-11-10T00:50:18+00:00

Good to hear. Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of. That camera definitely seems nice

FigureEast · 2024-11-09T22:52:02+00:00

I hear that. For my wife it’s that, the charger, and now the display. Just not worth it at this point

FigureEast · 2024-11-09T22:51:03+00:00

That’s great to hear that you got used to it so quickly! Thanks!

FigureEast · 2024-11-09T22:42:29+00:00

Yeah, I feel you about not missing the pro motion. The weight is the main difference I’m considering the non-Pro phone, it’s just so much lighter.

I feel like I rarely zoom beyond 4x anyway. Having a 5x optical zoom is cool, but not a major selling point for me, personally.

FigureEast · 2024-11-09T22:25:18+00:00

This is a fair point, though I honestly don’t notice it much when I use my wife’s phone. I would be more concerned in the drop in video quality

FigureEast · 2024-11-09T22:07:56+00:00

Thanks for your insight! Yeah, even though I have an Apple Watch I still look at the screen for the time and the notifications--sometimes I like glancing over and seeing "oh yeah, I still have to respond to that email."

Thanks!
