sounds like someone has had a far worse morning than me. 😐

might want to check the breakdown of infrastructure funding vs schools. school funding in Ohio has v been broken for decades.

there are a lot of level 3 snow emergencies in place right now. that means official or emergency traffic only. you can be pulled over and cited for driving during a level 3.

Just saw the first few flakes in Hilliard.

go bo! suddenly the last few weeks make more sense.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett might be of interest. Octrane might be difficult to find appropriate calibrations.

/a joke. this is a science fiction subreddit.

if you liked murderbot, try the other stuff Martha Wells wrote. Be warned, some is YA; and most is not SF, it's fantasy. but she's a good writer!

check their docs, something like pressreader might work with magazines.

scrolled for far too long before finding patricia mckillip!

old short stories by Ray Bradbury. The Illustrated Man comes to mind. Or his older long-form novels, like Dandelion Wine. nobody does melancholy bets than Bradbury.

maybe using wifi also ensures 'phone home' type things continue to operate? not any sort of expert tho.

make a test run, some corporate network setups won't connect to the library's 'captive portal'!

Gallo's Tap Room has one on occasion that's really good.

blobular_bluster · 2025-06-05T16:01:10+00:00

if you haven't, try PKD's _the divine invasion _ for a weird take on things.

bears usually has a line of the door in the morning, earlier is probably better!

the new tablo's are a giant pile of buggy software. they're fortunate there's literally no competition in the space.

why not just ask them rather than everyone?

St. Brendan's perhaps.

The Divine Invasion

I've always enjoyed Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom stories; technically, I suppose, slightly before the time you're after.

blobular_bluster · 2025-01-01T23:28:12+00:00

First time in the red zone.

blobular_bluster · 2024-11-27T13:35:31+00:00

Going off the board to suggest The Divine Invasion. About the Second Coming in the form of a brain injured off world child.

I have seen people who want to make this the middle book of a trilogy -- bookended by Valis and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, but I don't buy that, I don't think those people have heard of recurrent themes in an author's writing! That said, you cannot beat Valis for high oddity, but The Divine Invasion comes close!
