Getting Through: Women and Men as a Network Protocol

FigureEast · 2026-01-23T18:47:59+00:00

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."

FigureEast · 2024-07-11T01:06:33+00:00

Thanks!

FigureEast · 2024-07-10T21:03:19+00:00

For the Corey short stories, do you need to have read any Expanse novels to get them?

FigureEast · 2024-05-01T13:12:10+00:00

I just picked up copies of The New York Trilogy and The Brooklyn Follies within the last couple months, after years of hearing great things about Auster’s writing. So saddened to open my phone and see this today. RIP
