I turned on an older device yesterday and opened my old reddit app. It still works. I have no idea if it’s because it’s an old version of the app or if the policy got quietly changed. Or what. But it definitely works. I could read, up vote, and comment.

I’ve never read any of his books. Top 3? Just the titles. I’ll go in blind.

I adore BG3. But fighting the camera is harder than fighting the mobs.

What is a high floor low ceiling book?

I’ve actually got a few really cool things coming together in my life. Job is going well. Back on the bicycle as soon as it warms back up. Back in the gym now. Another “supplement” cycle upcoming. Just bought a house. The podcast went from 0 to several thousand downloads a month in 1 year. Starting a non profit that has a huge interest in donations already. May start twitch streaming for fun.

So I’ll claim it. 2024 will be my year.

Arizona Ice Tea. 99 cents a can for 20 years.

But that’s not why I rejected Christianity. It had nothing to do with the book. Or the people. It’s down to one simple thing. There is no God. It’s a myth. It’s bronze age mythology. Everything is just man made. Men invented it. Men wrote it. Men interpret it and argue about it. It’s all made up. There. Is. No. God.

I spent 30 years immersed in evangelical Christianity. I have read the Bible cover to cover. Twice. The world will be better off when your belief system is relegated to the ash heap of history.

Your belief system is finally dying. And humanity will be better because of it.

An argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

Wot-encyclopedia.com it has excellent chapter summaries for the slog books.

I have an alternate Google Account for You Tube when they started requiring that. I must have gotten my name before there was strict guidelines. It is still active. I am the proud owner of the Account FuckYouGoogle.

This is really specific. But I have wanted it for years. A switch for two 3.5 mm sound. Basically plug two inputs into the box, have 1 output and a simple physical switch that would let me flip back and forth.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

11 years. I refuse to install their app. But I still go back to check Ukraine war updates every few days.

Teddy was the trust buster. They hated him too.
