Canada for me!
Canada for me!
Yes!
Holy cow haha. I “bought” so much music there. They got a ton of obscure gypsy brass band stuff for me when I asked too (Fanfare Ciocarlia)
Memory unlocked.
I definitely know what you’re talking about (dispite not remembering the name of it) but they had everything. And if they didn’t, you could request it and they’d find it.
I miss that site now
I just choked on my drink. Fucking hilarious
Same here!
Although I do love “Blame Brett”
They’ve been getting a lot of attention in Canada but “The Beaches” have been my jam lately
Popstar is a classic and underappreciated in my circles

This is the craziest thing to me…
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.
Inside the house, I’m bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it’s nice, I go out barefoot. If it’s snowy or frigid cold (I’ll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.
I don’t know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It’s a sign of middle age / senior age living here.
Harry Potter The Martian The Cosmere (all for Sanderson’s cosmere I’ve done a few times) The First Law Trilogy
One I will reread but just haven’t yet: Uprooted Codex Alera Legends and Lattes
I usually watch monologue / opening segments and pass out during the boring guest interviews.
TLA is “The Last Airbender” for me
Read 36 books and counting
You’d be surprised how much stuff you can miss in books and still be clipping along ;)
But in all seriousness, I have ADHD and sometimes my mind wanders and I have to rewind but it’s not often… anymore.
I found audiobooks to be a learned habit. I started with books I knew well already (hello Harry Potter) or books I watched the movies for (Lord of the Rings). It helped if I tuned out because I wasn’t going to to miss anything I didn’t already know.
A couple of pluses on audiobooks is that you can increase or decrease the reading speed depending on your comfortability (I usually sit between 1.4x - 1.6x, YMMV and it depends on the pacing of the recorded person). Also, you experience the authors work entirely without skipping things (which we often do as readers)
Apple exec doesn’t actually understand how computers work and think that that actually might be a reasonable arguement
I think a lot of Apple users fit this bill too so it doesn’t matte much if this is the messaging, a fair amount of people will believe it.
Seconded!
Copying is a grey area still in our country. As long as you don’t upload it, you can download a copy from us
What do you mean by sandboxed?
Damn haha. TIL
I’m just going to stay away from it
This just happened to me today. I was talking with a colleague and recalled that they had just gone on a short trip with their partner. First time away from the kids.
I asked how it was, I was a couple weeks overdue but they excitedly told me about it. It felt good to ask, did it change my day? Not really that much.
But this person was excited to share (a few weeks ago) their excitement and anticipation with me. So when I asked how it went, they got a chance to relive it and share with me the results.
All in all, they cared enough to share, I cared enough to ask and at the end of it, I felt good. I got to share in their excitement and make a person feel heard and valued AND they got to relive the excitement again.
