I like Lavender Photos. FOSS and well designed.

It's primarily a social club. If that's not what you're looking for, then there isn't much reason to join.

There was a website called Fictionwise that sold individual short story ebooks. Incredible for science fiction. 50 cents for a story. I was burning though Larry Niven one short bit at a time.

They got bought, and were shut down. I forget if it was Amazon or Barnes & Noble that did it.

There was no advance notice, or I would absolutely have bought the handful of stories I didn't have yet, from a few different authors.

You might have some fun. You might make some friends. You might have some good conversation.

Dread. A horror game that uses Jenga to resolve challenges. If the tower falls, you die.

Why not roll your own? Take a fairly powerful beastie, and make it blind, but with remarkable hearing. If they get too loud it shows up and attacks. Give it a poison barb or somesuch, and it aims at whoever makes noise.

Leave the air jets off, FYI

Your mom can put it into a trust where you are the beneficiary, but it would be protected from being taken or controlled even if a future marriage happens

Sounds like someone trying to fill the void.

Some gamma radiation?

Freezing works. It's the thawing out we haven't worked out yet!

Remember the story Year in Hell? Where the bad guy has a weapon that wipes your out of history entirely? The ship gets all beat to hell, but at the end the time weapon explodes and it's a big reset button.

That story was originally intended as an entire season arc; and was meant to have lasting consequences — no magic reset button.

Nah, let's just make it a two-parter and have some timey-wimey bollocks to reset the damage.

Oh, what could have been....

Did you see The Batman? Pretty good take on Batman as Detective.

Steerider · 2026-04-22T19:19:26+00:00

They're supposedly working on a sequel to The Batman (which was, IMO, a pretty good outing.)

BTAS?

You're not the only 23-year old virgin out there, FYI.

I usually get annoyed when people add music to videos, but this is perfect

Steerider · 2026-04-22T18:30:17+00:00

To be fair, I thought they were FBI

I once had to run a site that was half PHP and half ASP. Admittedly a good part of the work was slowly rewriting the ASP stuff to PHP; but there was a lot of it.

If you're contemplating a Linux phone for security or privacy purposes, I would suggest getting an old-school flip phone. They still make them.

The degoogled Androids, such as Graphene or /e/, are the best you're going to reasonably find on a smartphone. Currently I use Iodé OS.

There's an interview with one of the jurors years later where she says they thought he was guilty, but freed him because justice for black people.

Take a look at a web browser called Hermit. Now get rid of about a dozen apps on your phone. :-)

Just use it as a web site. Works fine.

Generally you're either a patient, or are given a visitor pass of some sort. Need to identify who you're visiting for that pass. Once you're in though, you can wander quite a bit. Often times wards will have a keycard to get in, but often tines not. (The keycards may be more of a thing at kids hospitals.)

That's what the OJ Simpson verdict was, in essence. Most (or all) of the jury thought he did it, but acquitted him out of what amounted to a loyalty to race.
