    A very creepy and fun read. Also very fun to listen to Kate Mulgrew read it for you.

  • Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books?
  • Charlie Huston’s “Caught Stealing Trilogy” or “Hank Thompson Trilogy”. One of my favourite modern noir pieces of work. A damn solid 3 book series about a guy who gets mixed up in shady stuff and can’t seem to find an exit.

    I actually found and read the last book first, not knowing it was a trilogy. Which made me think it was trés cool how things in the past were referenced and added more weight to the main character/world. Turns out it was book 3 of 3. 🤪

    All three made/make it hard to get into clunky modern pulp/noir style fiction since.

  • Words for an Epic Quest
  • Sigh... I could do with more epic quests. Run from orcs, drink some dew, get my steps in.

  • The Song- William Merritt Chase, oil on canvas (1907)
  • I know a headache when I see one.

    You win this round, Chase!

  • Haven’t upgraded myself, so I just use the web client or the official iOS app so far.

  • Open source Linktree Alternatives?

  • I don't know where else to post this stuff.
  • Tis fudged out here to be sure, folks. Try to remember that there are tools out there you can use and people out there who care about you.

    Speaking for myself, medicines and changes in what is and isn’t acceptable for me helped out a lot.

  • Minecraft brings official mod support to ALL platforms — And the first free add-ons are already here
  • Looks like it’ll add some fun stuff for people who play on Realms via consoles/mobile.

  • Alt to Acrobat Pro for Live Hiding PDF Comments?
  • Interesting. Will give it a look. Thanks!

  • Nothing is stopping you from this right now
  • Ha! Jokes on you, I’m not 38 until… next week. Guck!

  • Alt to Acrobat Pro for Live Hiding PDF Comments?

    This apparently isn’t an issue that a lot of users run into at least according to the ranting I’ve done elsewhere on the internet. I’ll try explaining this as best as I can.

    Skip down to the TL;DR if you’re good sans explaining.

    In previous versions of Acrobat Pro (eg: 9) it was possible to set a filter for the comments in a document (eg: Status = None) and then as you are going through and marking the comments as "Completed" the list of comments would automatically hide the completed comments for you.

    The current version (and last few versions) of Acrobat Pro (or DC as they call it now). Do not filter live as you change the status of a comment. You have to clear the filter and reapply it if you want to hide markup you’ve already dealt with.

    This is extremely annoying when you’ve got hundreds of comments to go through. Once again I refuse to believe that I’m the only one in graphic design or desktop publishing who could benefit from having this feature.

    TL;DR: Is there a good none-Adobe PDF reader/marker that will let me see comments and live filter them (hide them) based on a change in status from “None” to “Completed”.

    Chaos/Entropy Mod Question

    I’ve tried looking this up a few different ways but I’m not sure if I’m phrasing it correctly enough for the search engine robots to understand.

    Figured I’d try asking here. There’s a mod or two for GTAV and Minecraft that afflicts the player with random stuff happening at set time intervals (eg; raining chickens, randomize armor, remove inventory, teleport all mobs to player, etc).

    A few of these mods have integration with Twitch where chat can vote on which effect to give to the player next.

    I was trying to find a version of a mod like that but that allows another single person (another player, server op or just with a specific Twitch username or something) to be in charge of the random effects rather than chat.

    Wondering if anyone knows of any mods that let you do that?

    Paprika? Or other good Recipe apps?

    Been using “Whisk” for a while but they were bought by Samsung and have been slowly going down hill. Any good iOS apps for recipes? I hear good things about Paprika but not sure if it’s worth it…

    UPDATE: Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

    Anyone tried out Oixo for internet-ing?
    oxio.ca Reliable home internet plans with no price hikes | oxio

    Find an internet plan that’s a perfect fit for you. Reliable with $0 activation and no-term contracts. Keep the same price as long as you stay with us.

    Going to try them out. In Manitoba they apparently use Shaw’s existing network anyhow, so figured I’d give it a shot. ¯\(ツ)

    Dear Winnipeg, Last Friday, the City released its revised plan to not just reconstruct but also massively expand Route 90 (Kenaston) from Taylor to Ness, a mere six weeks after approving the budget to do so. I have to say, this design is a hot mess. The project aims to do a lot of different
