I have very mixed opinions of McCarthy. He focuses on the grim darkness of humanity a lot. If that is what you want to hear all you have to do is turn on the news. I thought The Road was well done but super depressing. In the process of reading All The Pretty Horses and it's tone is much more upbeat. But his style is cribed almost entirely from Hemmingway.

I'm partway through The Have and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultra Rich by Evan Osnos. It is a collection of essays originally published in the New Yorker dissecting the culture and fads of the modern Gilded Age.

I also STRONGLY recommend the Culture series by Iain Banks. It is perhaps the most realistic and well though out sci-fi utopia.

Why? He directed Sicaro, and that turned out pretty well. The same goes for Dune, Arrival, and Bladerunner. Not saying everything he's done is amazing, but he seems to know what he's doing.

I like toot.discuss.online but I also don’t use the mastodon server so it doesn’t really matter to me.

The Roaring Fork Valley has like 50k or 40k total. Maybe more if you throw in some of Colorado Valley towns like Rifle and Silt.

 

Edit: I replaced an edited youtube compilation of this talk with a link to the original NSA press release. It links to the original digital copies of the talk in two parts.

I got one off of marketplace in great condition for a good deal. It is very practical and fun to drive. Also you get a lot of looks.

I guess so. I just don’t see where they’re going with it.

You can run the mainboard outside of the chais in an external enclosure.
