Was that one of their excellent April Fool’s Day items? I looked forward to seeing the joke items they put out every year.
Both are very cool.
Fascinating, thank you.
I’ve never heard him speak. What an odd quavering voice he has!
All my homies hate Ea-nāsir. [email protected]
It does tend to STICK in the memory!
Looks a bit like P.O. box 963 New York City, New York state, 10108!
Can’t see what, the fire damage?
Not arguing, just adding context from their blog.
Vivaldi does a lot of adblocking natively, and they are maintaining V2 as long as they can, which based on info from Google is summer 2025 but might change.
What goes to the left of the center start button?
Very true. It’s upsetting on Netflix or prime to search for a movie and it autocompletes but then they just show you “I know you really want to see X, but how about Y instead”?
That’s true, but I believe in this case it’s a double meaning referencing a twitch streamer playing that game Pog, and the acronym “Play Of [the] Game”.
In finance, out-of-pocket is synonymous with cash on hand, liquid assets. Means you can pay now without needing to incur a debt.
In business, out-of-pocket is usually synonymous with out-of-office, like AFK Away-From-Keyboard. Often shorter term than being fully on vacation. “I’ll be OOP after 2pm for a doctor’s appt.”
I have recently heard out-of-pocket used among youngsters or the terminally-online to mean rude or crazy, like you said. “Beyond the standards of normalcy”.
See I would totally be down to just hang and watch a movie with a friend, then GTFO.
Clarke, Niven, and Heinlein for me. The original _Rendezvous with Rama _inspires awe in me every time. Stranger in a Strange Land is beautiful. The Known Space (Ring world) books are among my favorites. I’m also very fond of Ian Bank’s The Culture , though they are from this millennium and maybe out of scope for this conversation!
I have and love Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars, Zelazny’s Amber, and Castle Perilous by John De Chancie. I’ve just started collecting E. E. “Doc” Smith. I’m slowly adding to my Ursula Leguin and Lester Del Ray shelves.
And I really can’t resist buying old yellow books with ridiculous titles like “_Mutiny in Space” , “assault on the gods” , or “The shattered stars”. _ Bonus Points for awesome spaceships on the cover. I’ll buy those any day without any idea of the author or story.
I think you and I would be good friends. Other than buying books by the Grandmasters, I pick based on the ridiculous cover art. Woman in a space-bikini with an atomic raygun threatened by a lizard/wookie hybrid with a jetpack? Yes please!
There’s a communist Aaaaah song?
