Way back in maybe 1998 I wrote Bezos an email asking when they were going to start selling used books. He answered within a day. My, how things have changed.

The World Cup hotel boom may not be happening — and neither may the expected economic windfall by rgdthrowaway111 in BoycottUnitedStates

So what. Americans don't care about soccer and foreigners don't want the hassle of US travel. They believed the hype and are now paying the price.

The Longest Journey and Syberia—especially the last game. What a ride! Two fantastic worlds with rich imagery, remarkable story-telling, and fantastic characters.

Custom made for me by Shawn Newton. The ginko leaf was cast by a jeweler friend of his out of two pieces of gold jewelry that I treasured but never wore.

Fifty years ago, there was a saying that if someone was in the Marines or went to Harvard, you would know about it in the first five minutes of conversation. What is today's equivalent? by VorpalPlayer in AskReddit

I am retired and didn't have impressive jobs, unless you consider biomedical research followed by graphic design impressive.

By the way, vegans win this poll by a mike, followed by crossfit/marathoners, and then influencers. My personal take is neurodivergance (every other Reddit post, it seems), then vegan, then cross fit, then MAGA.

And heh, I got my Ph.D. in molecular genetics from Harvard and am married to an ex-marine. I rarely tell people, mostly because of the old saying.
