I feel more like I’ve got the wire monkey mother from that same experiment.

We had two dogs, a cat, and a bird, so the house was always full of animal silliness. My wife left me a couple months ago and took the dogs with her. I’ve become so thankful for the cat. She just wants to be where I am, constantly: on my lap if I’m sitting, or on my chest if I’m laying down. It’s made a very hard time just a little less hard.

I’ve never played horde, but she’s at 49, 50. I can give you a straight answer since I haven’t had to deal with horde barrens chat.

I read an obscene amount of science fiction and play a lot of classic wow.

If you want sometime currently in the theater, you might try The Life of Chuck. Likely to make you cry, but uplifting. Great cast.

Upvoting for Eternal Sunshine, such I think fits OP’s request better than EEAAO.

I retired in January after 40 years (not counting jobs during college). Marriage collapsed not long after (unrelated). So now I live alone and have nothing on my calendar. It’s honestly so very strange not having to go to bed early on a weeknight. Also, for some reason, the hours and days go very slowly, but the weeks and months go very quickly. Time is fundamentally different than it was previously.

Man, I probably see 20 of those every morning when I walk around the neighborhood. The babies are so cute. So tiny.

Oh, there it is

I did not. These are the first celebrity Oreos I’ve encountered.

Are you sure that it’s not Selena Gomez flavored?

“Now with real Selena Gomez flesh in every bite!”

Oh! I think you’re exactly right, based on the description. They’re pandering to the Latinos.

Let’s see, where did I put that barfing emoji…?

Clearly the food chemists all had to take a taste.

Favorite “all time” would have me looking through a lot of titles, but I’ve really been enjoying Adrian Tchaikovsky lately, and some of his is hard SF. Probably Children of Time would be the one I’d start with.

If you like hard SF, you’ve probably read Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary, others), but he’s great.

I could go on a lot, but maybe I’ll keep it there unless you want more.

I always just get the new bar and the old sliver wet and press them together.

Hmm, yeah, that one’s maybe not as strong, though I kind of look at Network Effect and System Collapse as one story (confusing because there’s a book in between them, but that one chronologically comes before Network Effect). I liked it, but agree it’s not as strong.

Heh, my wife went through the drawer a few years ago and threw away all the containers that didn’t have lids, and lids without containers. I was amazed at how many there were. Not sure how that happens. Must be with the missing socks.

Funny, I just had to help someone pack a house into one of those POD things and they ended up saying, “You’re better at this, you say what goes where.”

I don’t think I’m as good at it with really large volumes, but the storage container thing is pretty handy.
