I'm reading Endurance now after just having finished Into Thin Air. Good stuff.


I read The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Enjoyed both. Think I preferred Into Thin Air.


That's why the only gyms I've signed up for have been YMCAs, because I know I can cancel my membership there without hassle.


How does that work: you just tell them you renounce Jesus Christ?


I'm in SOS mode in Tennessee.



I modified my touch bar to no longer show the play/pause button because every time I forgot and hit it, I got punished by Apple Music opening and getting stuck in a loop of me force-quitting it and it restarting.


Me too. Sad to say just how huge the quality of life improvement from this small tweak.


I was wanting a Mini update, too.


No new iPad Mini? :(


1899 was my cutoff, too. They had the nerve to recommend the show to me after it had been canceled, which I didn't know at the time. Got invested and looked for a season two release date, which is how I learned it was canceled. No longer a subscriber now.


Yeah that’s the real piss-off for me. The number of times I foolishly forgot to check whether they’d actually finally finished a show, got totally hooked and invested, then found out that there was no ending coming… ever.

The cancelling is bad enough, but continuing to list and recommend these shows as if they weren’t incomplete with no intention of completing them is a bit beyond.

At least have the decency to put a warning that the show has no ending on its listing. Or stop recommending them and only list them in a “graveyard” category or something.

But if they cared enough about their customers to do that, they probably wouldn’t be doing this all in the first place.


I use Codespaces daily at work. Full disclosure, I work for GitHub. I like them pretty well.
