"Oh Comely" by Neutral Milk Hotel has a "holy shit" heard at the very end. It's an 8+ minute song that Jeff Magnum nailed on what was supposed to just be a sound test before recording.
My favorite is "Stephen's Last Night in Town" by Ben Folds Five. There's a rising clarinet part that climbs to a climax with a brief pause at the peak and a phone rings in time and in key in the background during that pause.
I just replaced a Kindle Paperwhite that was probably 7/8 years old with a Kobo Libra 2. Can't compare it to a modern Kindle, but the Kobo screen is bigger and looks more like paper.
My only gripe is that the software has some odd design choices. On a Kindle, the night mode button is on the main drop down menu, but in Kobo you have to hit the gear button to get to the settings, then scroll down a page to toggle night mode.
Both devices seem to read most formats out there. Look up a program called Calibre to maintain a local library on your PC and convert formats easily.
The main selling point for the Kobo was not sending more money to Jeff Bezos. I cancelled Prime last year and the Kindle was my last link to the Amazon ecosystem. I usually get my books from the library or other online sources but sometimes I'd be out of town craving a certain book and I'd buy it on the Kindle just for ease of use.
Maybe I'm just getting old but the gameplay loop of Rockstar games has gotten tired. RDR2 was gorgeous but the mission formula was just so boring.
If I'm using the computer I'm in a program. If I'm not using it, it's asleep. Don't really get the point of anything other than solid black.
Seriously. I only finished the main Book of the Fallen series this early this year and just can't get interested in anything else fantasy now.
It's one thing to make you feel something when a character you've been with for 10 books dies, but when an author can do the same with a character you're with for a handful of pages, it's something else.
!Abasard's death in Reaper's Gale still resonates with me. !<
"Gimme a beer"
You can make real cheeses melt better by using powdered sodium citrate. The ratio depends somewhat on how hard the cheese is but it's somewhere around 2-3% sodium citrate to cheese.
I think it's technically supposed to be an acknowledgement that the message was received.
I remember renting the NES version from the grocery store 30+ years ago. I remember the half pipe was a pain to control, BMX and Hacky Sack played well, and if you went over the top of the wave on surfing, the Jaws theme would play and a shark would show up. Can't remember if that was every time or just occasionally.
Our HR "coordinates" with us and it's not much better.
The form clearly states that they start on the 15th, then ask on the 10th why the user can't start work.
They put the wrong office location so we ship their equipment to the office listed on the form then ask why the user can't start work.
They send an immediate termination notice for a user that leaves at the end of the month, then ask why the user can't work.
They mark that the new hire doesn't need a laptop on the new hire form, then ask why the user can't work.
It's almost like the forms are intended to convey information for others to act on.
