Starfarers by Vonda MacIntyre

The treatment of same sex partners in the story was just mater of fact, these are love affairs same as any other. She made it feel just like a natural thing, and progressive for the time it was written. I read it when I was still in high school in 1992.

It taught me to be acceptance of everyone, and eventually myself.

Physical keyboard. I miss touch typing one handed.

Not require sleep, ever, with no ill effects (fatigue, mental issues, shortened lifespan, etc).

So much time is wasted sleeping. I have too much shit to do! It's 2am because I was up getting some code working for another team at work, and we just moved, so I have tons of unpacking to do!

My bartender. They're great listeners. Sometimes you just need to get it all out to someone that listens. They don't need to provide advice or anything.

I haven't used it since I was a teenager 😂

Any Timothy Zahn books are quite good. I love Thrawn.

iirc, in the 90's the older books had a set of guidelines they had to adhere to, like no stories that take place before episode 4, or Luke couldn't have sex, I don't remember much more than that, but I think they were pretty free to tell any story if they stayed within the guidelines.

TBH I have no idea what the rules are now.

PS5 and PC.

On PS5 it's usually games like God of War and Horizon.

On PC it's the occasional shooter, and I spend many hours on Satisfactory.

Occasionally I'll find a fun game to play on my steam deck, but overall I don't use it much. Make sure you evaluate the games that work on it before you spend to make sure you shouldn't wait for the supported list to grow.

I love my Bose wireless headphones (quiet comfort 45). They sound really great, but I also paid $200 (on sale) for them and regret nothing.

The battery is user replaceable with some care.

Buffy is the most watched, hands down.

Nowhere Man is another one I love to watch over and over again, it's only one season, but I haven't seen it as many times as Buffy. It's pretty dated, but it's a great premise, and really enjoyable.

Tailscale's free tier is unbelievable.

What's this about bubbles? I never heard anything about it before until last week, and it didn't make sense.

Android user.

It's coming with names
