An unboxing of a product, reading out the specs, and flicking through the manual, is not a review.

Is it just me or do most of the Shortwave (SW) radio stations appear to broadcast propaganda and religious preaching?

#Nvidia announce their new RTX VR Headset 😂

Finished reading Annihilation by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social - I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very ethereal and introspective. Can't wait to read the next book.

Seeing Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner has made our day. Can not wait for Superman to come out next year.

Roses are red, Our car is blue, We sacked Sergio Perez, Because P1's a place he never knew. #SergioPerez #RedBull #F1 #Poem

Sergio Perez and Red Bull have released a joint statement announcing that water is wet, and the sky is blue. #f1

Today I learned what a Dinkus is. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinkus

"Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team" is perhaps the worst team name ever. I miss two word team names like Benetton Ford, Williams Renault, and Lola Lamborghini.

There are two families on our street, the Smiths and the Johnsons. Decades ago, the Smiths moved in and built their home, looking for a safe place to live. The Johnsons, who had been there longer, resented the change and felt their land was being taken from them. 1/5

Best of luck to Mohammed Ben Sulayem on his totally transparent and democracy-loving power grab! #F1 #NothingToSeeHere #MBS

Today I learned that most Nintendo Switch games come on cartridges, just like the old-school Game Boy! I've been downloading games online since way back in 2004. Why do Nintendo think physical cartridges are still the way to go for the Switch, when digital downloads are the norm these days?

Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2024 winners! They are all excellent but my favourite has to be "SNR G107.5-5.2, Unexpected Discovery" www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/ast...

My wife is watching Netflix's Our Little Secret, and either everyone is wearing too much make-up, or there is a smoothing filter applied to their faces. Either way, it's very off putting. Nobody has any contours to their face, and stubble looks weird.

Looking forward to reading Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

Some more details about the bait and switch "Printed by Amazon" book of All Systems Red. The edges are frayed. The font cover looks washed out. And it feels really tacky. Overall, the quality is very poor. Not something I want to hold in my hands.

Watching Silo and playing UnderRail. Good thing I don't have a fear of being underground.

Firefly BSOD. Thanks @foone.bsky.social

Amazing should be up front if they are selling you a "Printed by Amazon" book. They are of a much poorer quality than genuine publishers.

There is obviously a fine line between telling people what to do, offering them advice, or letting them learn by their own mistakes/choices. I'm 40. I wish some people who know me would do the latter.
