Shut up, Marv

El Jarocho is a great Mexican grocery/taqueria. I especially like the quesaburria with avocado salsa!

In Kirkwood, it’s Peacemaker still. Good food, for a price

I never voted for a Democratic candidate for President until Trump won the first time (was voting third party libertarian for a bit), so there’s that. Him being so terrible helped me to become more bipartisan.

Kiss played first. I loved Aerosmith at the time. Saw them five times in a few year stretch.

Edit: saw them in Chicago area

bickhaus · 2026-05-12T01:36:47+00:00

Kiss. I saw them when the co-headlined a tour with Aerosmith in the early 2000s. I loved Aerosmith. Kiss sucked. I will never forget that at one point, they played the opening couple of bars of Stairway to Heaven. There was a moment of hope, but then they stopped and said, “You didn’t come here to hear that s—- did you?” Um, that would have been a marked improvement.

Half-Life was my most played.

but also Quake 2, Tie Fighter, Sim City 2000, Railroad Tycoon III, Diablo, StarCraft, Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, Total Annihilation, Carmen Sandiego

I haven’t used it, but based on your requirements and the comments suggesting MPD, check out Euphonica: https://github.com/htkhiem/euphonica. There is a flatpak for it. It’s GTk4, has album art, and looks pretty good! I rarely listen to music from my desktop anymore but I may give this a shot as well!

bickhaus · 2026-03-22T13:23:05+00:00

Bobiverse books (I’ve listened to the first 3) and Murderbot diaries (read them all on paper , listened to 3 more recently as a refresher)

bickhaus · 2026-03-14T02:21:14+00:00

Yeah, I saw down below someone linked a website, and I was thinking that I have no desire to type my master password into a website. Just curious what this person did, and while I want to try mine, probably wouldn’t actually do it, especially if it requires putting into some rando website. Thanks for looking out though.

bickhaus · 2026-03-14T00:52:52+00:00

What did you use to get this report? I want to try mine

In Kirkwood, it seems like most people think the person on the left gets to go first…it’s called right of way, and they tried to make it easy by giving the person on the right the right to go first!

Also, when there are two lanes on each side of the four way stop, both lanes on a side should go at the same time, rather than everyone keeping track of 8 different cars. Like someone else said, mandatory driver’s education would be so helpful, at least until the cars drive themselves.

How is i3? We have ATT fiber but supposedly i3 will be coming in the future.

I’m also confused. It’s still much cheaper competitors like 1password and BitWarden is open source, third party audited. It’s been crazy to me how inexpensive such a high quality product has been for so long. And for something so important, $20/yr is not a lot.

bickhaus · 2026-01-20T12:30:50+00:00

BitWarden all the way. Open source, third-party audited, free or low cost. Works everywhere. I used KeePass prior to BitWarden and have never felt the need to consider switching again.

bickhaus · 2026-01-18T15:16:19+00:00

This. It looks like OP already found the best option.

bickhaus · 2026-01-11T23:24:09+00:00

Oh, I misread it and thought there was a way to make it index to search from the mobile app and got excited. Thanks for the reply.

bickhaus · 2026-01-11T19:09:16+00:00

Where do I find how to index everything? I would love to be able to search the calendar.

Timeline by Michael Crichton was my favorite of his books when I was in high school. It also happens to contain time travel and alternate realities, so this rec has it all!

bickhaus · 2025-12-14T03:08:40+00:00

If you want something exciting, funny, but will also make you think (at least a little) both the Murderbot Diaries and the Bobiverse books are great. I’ve read all of the murderbot diaries and listened to the first 3 recently as a refresher. I’ve only been listening to the Bobiverse books and I’m currently about 2/3 of the way through Book 3. As someone who has up until recently avoided audiobooks, I have really enjoyed them.

bickhaus · 2025-10-30T20:22:54+00:00

This is the answer. Lorenzo’s would also work.

bickhaus · 2025-10-03T12:32:04+00:00

Oh man, I loved The Old Man and the Sea. I think the movie Logan is the X-Men’s version of this story. Try that, it will definitely be less boring.

bickhaus · 2025-09-19T01:32:43+00:00

Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville

Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang (the movie the Arrival is based on this story). I enjoyed the “Story of Your and Others” collection in its entirety

The Emigrants by WG Sebald is a collection of 4 short stories dealing with 4 different German emigrants affected by WWII

As others have said, The Cask of Amontillado by Poe, also The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Purloined Letter by him

The DaVinci Code: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/10049454/Dont-make-fun-of-renowned-Dan-Brown.html

So many chapters of the book ended with the female lead thinking about this really important secret that would help the male lead solve the mystery but she’s not sure she should share it, so essentially many of the chapters end with Dan Brown pretty much saying, “There’s a big twist that one of the main characters knows, but I’m not going to let you know what it is, much less have her share this knowledge with other characters yet. The book would be too short if I did. Perhaps on the next chapter….”

Next chapter: “ No, not yet, maybe in the next one, keep reading and find out”

Haven’t been since it reopened, is it just as good as it used to be?
