Last book: Murderbot Diaries - Network Effect by Martha Wells

Current book: Daring Greatly by Brene Brown

The first book is really fun. Lot’s of action and witty characters with a lot of development.

The second book might change your life. It made me realize just how much emotion I’ve not been letting myself feel for the last two decades.

God I wish Jeff Bezos would have a wedding in my house. I’d hide in the ceiling and drop bear him with a steak knife.

Lack of communication is one thing, losing your shit like this because of it is another. …but that’s two things now, so…

What the hell.

Especially if it’s Silverback Gorilla marketing.

I’m quite certain it’s a carry-over from the ‘middle’ ages. Before the printing press, books would take an extreme amount of resources to create. You had to get the leather from a calf or ten twenty+ (IIRC one calf has enough skin for two pages), which would be bought from multiple villages within a lords domain (understand that cows were incredibly valuable back then for their milk and meat). Then you had to prepare it; the reason calves were used was because their skin would be relatively undamaged from bug bites (which would became holes during preparation) and would have somewhat less hair on it. Then you would have to have a scribe actually write in it and have it “illuminated” by other craftsmen (making it look pretty by applying gold leaf to the cover and/or the first letters of the chapter). This would all take years of labour as well.

By the end, a finished, illuminated book would likely cost more than the entire building it’s stored in, hence the chained libraries.

You can back it up across multiple RAID arrays as well as put it into cold storage on blu-ray discs.

“Eym sooree jaoooohn…ethen”

Some System of a Down, DFA 1979, Andrew Bird, TokiMonsta, Kendrick Lamar… just all the artists and songs I like. Forget the exact ones.

lol but seriously, I was moving to a new province with my gf’s rescue and she seemed a lot more chill with me after ~8 hours of “singing” (she was in a cage in the back seat)

*I feel like I should also say I made a bunch of eye contact with her while I was singing and also wet her nose with a drop of water on my finger a bunch of times because she was too stressed to drink.

Sing your favourite song!
