True, although it’s more formally known as an Apple MAC Apple Computer, or Apple Mackintosh Apple Computer Apple Computer.

With Apple standing, of course, for Applied Possibility and Permutation Learning Environment.

Nice! Welcome to the world of Lynch! Hope you enjoy them. Have you seen Twin Peaks?

Agree with this. It’s her decision alone, so the only question is how supportive to be (which shouldn’t really be a question tbh).

Hopefully OP’s son’s reaction will be better than expected and it all works out.

Good to you all OP 👍

That would have worked if you hadn’t stopped me.

Oh ok, I can see how that would work. Interesting, thanks 👍

So do you control left and right (A and S) with your pinkie and ring fingers, and forward and back (D and F) with middle and index?

As opposed to someone controlling A with ring finger, D with index and using middle finger for both W and S.

I can see how that makes sense if you’re used to using the pinkie a lot for typing.

Damn, you really do know this book!

Yeah, the construction barriers bit - not got to Eliza yet (or at least not this time round).

At the very start you mean? That was fine, not bothered by that.

I started reading it again today (and found my old bookmark!) and apparently I got a fair bit further than that.

Today I read as far as Gurion being in the office after fighting, and I was quite enjoying it, so maybe it’ll stick this time 😁

Thank you for such detail, they sound really cool.

Also, “spaaaaace”! 😁

John Cazale.

Only appeared in 5 films but all five were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars:

The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather Part II (1974)
The Conversation (1974)
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
The Deer Hunter (1978)

Died of lung cancer in March 1978, aged 42 ☹️

I’m also toying with the idea that he was elected promising cheap eggs and sees Greenland on the map and thinks it kind of looks like a giant egg.

I’ve often thought the same OP, except instead of preparing for it, I’d argue they may even be deliberately hastening it. There’s a book by British comedian Ben Elton, called Stark, which explores basically this concept.

The problem with this idea comes down to soil and environment. One can’t just pick up whole crop areas and transplant them into a new one solely based on the temperature.

Agreed, but this is Trump we’re talking about. I imagine that in his addled head it absolutely is as simple as that.

Just looked it up and someone on Reddit six days ago said BoD3 is finished and will hopefully be out this year! Woop!!

I’ve not heard of those others, will need to check them out 👍

Poo tee weet 👍

Yeah, I think so, but I think it was also slated for 2024, and possibly even 2023! It’ll come, and I’d rather he takes his time to get it right, but still, very impatient! 😁

A few I’ve read at least twice and will definitely read again at some point:

• Catch 22
• Infinite Jest
• The Windup Bird Chronicle
• The Handmaid’s Tale
• Full 5 part Hitchhiker’s Guide trilogy
• His Dark Materials Trilogy (plus the Book of Dust series, if we ever get that last one!!)
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• Brave New World
• Slaughterhouse Five

Adam Levin’s The Instructions

I have that on my shelf, but have only read the first chapter or so, I think, just couldn’t get into it. Bought on a whim, partly because of how huge it was!

I take it it’s worth another shot?

Ah, yeah, that would make it difficult 😁
