It’s a book written in the 1960s that was one of my favorites as a kid. It’s been adapted into a couple of films, the most recent being in the early 90s. Essentially the story of two dogs and a cat that can talk to each other traversing the Canadian wilderness to find their humans.

edit: I got to wondering about the exact dates, so here’s some links in case anyone is interested:

1961 book, The Incredible Journey

1963 film, The Incredible Journey

1993 film, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

I can’t tell if this is a reference to The Incredible Journey or if you haven’t read/seen it.

This is it for me. I like that a multiplayer world is something dynamic I’m a part of even when I’m not interacting with it directly.

This broke me. The dot … over the i. That broke me. I’m … I’m done.

As someone who recently switched to days after more than 15 years on night shift, if my new position wasn’t exponentially better in every way I’d go back to nights in a heartbeat.

The real pro tip is always in the comments

That’s a good point and, in retrospect, the multilevel is almost better for the comparison as the people are also multilevel.

I haven’t seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.

It isn’t just affecting education, unfortunately. There’s a number of topics (e.g. human rights, equality, etc) that society has become more enlightened about and that they’d like to revert.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

looks like the recipe is here

edit: or not. the image matches but, after actually paying attention to the recipe, I’m not sure that sounds right.

I suspect they won’t need to rationalize it, unfortunately. This will be justification for them to use their weapons.

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn’t have gone looking for it and it was definitely worth watching.

The emotional roller-coaster in this game is definitely real.

Please be aware of local native plant populations when using this concept. In much of the US some species of willow and buckthorn are invasive, can out-compete native plants, and can result in a drastic reduction in local biodiversity. I recommend Doug Tallamy’s books Bringing Nature Home and The Nature of Oaks for anyone interested in native plant info. The writing is targeted at the US, but they’re easy reads and have a lot of good info.

This is what it sounds like to me, and Sim Ant is the game I had in mind opening this post. It was a good one.

^^^ This is the one I recognize. There’s just so many times that I see a kind, well thought out, informative comment and it’s got southsamurai’s name above it

The trees filled out way too early this year. It’s already to the point where most of my birding is done by ear. Silver lining is that there’s insects to look down at now while listening.

Do you have any preferred sources for learning more about Umberto eco’s 14 points of fascism?

I have a pair originally purchased for running but they’ve turned out to be useful in numerous situations where I wanted to listen to something without losing awareness of my surroundings.
