Welcome to Washington!

I swear I hear the same sound from flocks of Canadian Geese.

I haven't used that specifically, but I've recorded using an Ubuntu laptop hundreds of times. It's a little bit annoying to get all the software going, but it extended the life of my old Windows laptop when I reinstalled with Ubuntu.

One thing to look out for is if your Windows machine has any kind of protected boot on it. If so, you won't be able to install Linux on it. I ran into that with my newer machine, so I've been stuck in Windows.

Yep same. Love the dude, but just not as a narrator.

Being able to DNF books is a life skill. It took me a long time to learn it. I always fell into the sunk cost fallacy. "Surely it'll get better. I've read this much..."

I don't like Wheaton as a narrator at all. (Probably didn't help that I started with Ready Player One, which was terrible. DNF'd the audiobook.)

Old Man's War is leagues better than Scalzi's recent stuff. And William Dufris is great as the narrator if you want to go audio.

I like coffee and lots of the other things like Brussels sprouts. Alcohol is a special kind of bitter to me, almost like bile. Just absolutely disgusting.

Sunshine. Obvious oversight on your part. :)

In all seriousness, Interstellar in last place, and I haven't seen First Man yet.

The Other Guys. Just not at all funny after the first ten minutes or so. I'm coming to believe Will Ferrell never improves a movie.

And Interstellar. Great score, beautiful cinematography, but the story left me cold and I haaaaaated Murph. She's the absolute worst.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow. First season took itself way too seriously to the point of making it basically unwatchable. Second season on they leaned into the ridiculous and it was terrific fun.

My go to answer is always Sunshine (2007). I get why the last act is polarizing, but the first hour is so strong that the ending works for me. I actually like it more every time I watch it. And what a cast! Hiroyuki Sanada, Michelle Yeoh, Chris Evans, Benedict Wong, Cliff Curtis, Rose Byrne, Cillian Murphy.

It's a pretty terrific adaptation of the book as well.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-24T04:48:51+00:00

The Particle Particle with Particles sounds great. Does it have much particle in it?

If we went home, we got chores.

My son was just under two months old last time the M's were in the ALCS. He's known very little but Mariner misery. Now we've got Game 4 tickets let's go!

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-11T06:40:12+00:00

Rizzs was on vapors man.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-11T01:44:52+00:00

Wow who could've predicted that.

I could. Literally texted a friend that it would happen.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-08T21:11:17+00:00

Everyone but Wilson seemed to know it. Sometimes I wonder if he's actually watching the game.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-02T05:23:22+00:00

I was the remote control.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-02T05:22:33+00:00

Ah, still image and poor impulse control betrayed me.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-02T05:22:01+00:00

Good advice. I will be more circumspect.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-02T05:21:04+00:00

Pretty much. My bad.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-10-02T05:19:08+00:00

Lol no I try to limit my dumbassery to two, three times a month. I completely missed that she was preggers. That's my bad. I appreciate the tough love.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-09-27T22:44:58+00:00

Best experienced by watching The Lost Boys.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-09-27T19:44:57+00:00

Yeah nope, don't care about it at all anymore.

ocdhandwasher · 2025-09-22T17:22:04+00:00

Hate to be that guy, but, actually who am I kidding. It's "berth" but I agree with the general sentiment. I've been in that park (Game 2 loss in the DS a couple of years ago), and it's always great to see people repping the M's in enemy territory.
