I remember not being able to play some games due to having a powerful enough graphic card but the wrong “kind” so neither option was good. At least I can use any card with any standard program now

I do enjoy DirectX and the Plug and Play standards though

Shake shack sounds better than a gift card to Shack Shack

Unless Terry is running a very weird business and/or love his labelprinter

I am always terrified of meeting moose while hiking, especially with calves. I didn’t know they specced into the terror tree against humans but it does explain it!

Why leave Pi to mathematicians rather than democratically-ish elected leaders? Pi is far to important to be left outside of democracys sphere of influence

Except for some monkey thumbs that are toes… Apes are so clearly superior even in the thumb area

The hobby antimatter bomb makers are just the new version of gunsmiths working out of their garage workshops

So the US is planning wars involving Panama, Canada, Greenland and China while threatening EU and Mexico? It’s all so random and spread out.

A friend’s father got kidnapped by the state here in sweden due to not showing up for draft… It does sound way worse with those words though

Just don’t use ordinary shrink tubing, it doesn’t seal properly in the front and may tighten too hard for comfort

Is a nice site if you want to expand into Nordic/Swedish books in your collection

I know, I’ve even heard of pages missing from paperbacks published by reputable print houses here in sweden

I like the ringantasy over romantasy any day. Sometimes I also read sword-and-sandalsantasy.

At least when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s both boys and girls read the books and watched the movies with Pippi.

I agree that Hollywood is a blight on the cultural landscape, and you basically have to disregard their movies if you want to find something deeper than a puddle, with exceptions few and far between

I saw that as parental instinct since protection of young are not gender coded, but you can read it as maternal for sure as a mirror to the Queens hatred after the egg burning

Ellen Ripley’s gender doesn’t matter until Resurrection, which isn’t the highlight of the movie.

A lot of media have strong female characters but their gender or sex does matter for the story so can’t easily be replaced

Susan in the book Soul Music (plus some others) as well as the Witches, Tiffany Achings and more from Pratchett

Death from Sandman (even though the author is very controversial, but you could check the books out from sources that doesn’t give him a kick back)

Was a long time since I read them but the Polgara books feature a strong female protagonist

We got classic youth/kids media that shows strong female characters even if some stuff are coloured by weird takes (Such as Xander Harris): Xena, Buffy and Pippi Longstockings

You save quite a lot of time when working on a database if it’s stored in RAM compared to tape, so it does make sense to use that technology

So Bloodhound Gangs Uhn-Tiss song is a party stopper for you?
