Oh that's a good suggestion! Definitiely worth reading!

There's a few hilarious episodes, but most of it is just weird for the sake of weird without being actually funny.

I recently re-watched Ren & Stimpy and they did not age well. Cow & Chicken has aged better, but is a product of its era too much to have lasting value.

Futurama is an excellent choice. That one has my vote as well.

I have already read some excellent suggetions. Here's some of mine:

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (the Lifeship Trilogy is excellent as well)) The Many-Colored Land series by Julian May Imajica by Clive Barker

Don't bother with the Ice and Fire series by GRR Martin. The first three books are good and the rest is meh. As per the fourth book, an entirely new set of characters and storylines were introduced, without actuallly finishing the story after the first three books. The story will not be finished and that's a bummer. Life's too short and there's too much better stuff out there.

Well I can't argue that. Thanks.

You mean Operation Which Epstein Files? I don't know. As a EU citizen, I do not see much on the Epstein files in US media.

Source? As far as I know, almost any Western civilization has most people in the Boomers / GenX age brackets, so way before 1979. Same for Japan.

Maybe I am cynical, and I am by no way a military expert of any kind, but I would figure that an A-10 is more expendable than a F-35.

I am in the 'A-10s are cool' camp, but I do not think that they are particularly useful anymore on a modern battlefield.

Thank you for calling out a pet peeve of mine.

Agreed about it being a special place. That's why it popped into my head in the first place. But the many bus loads of people being loaded ever day makes it a tourist trap. The higher parts are more tranquil though.

Adding to this already good post, a side benefit of a service like Vaultwarden is that you can use the same password management system among all your devices.

I actually loved Mont St. Michel.

 

The house has been thoroughly decorated by the wife and kids. I found my spot on the couch to be vandalized like this.

 

It sat on the bottom of the balcony door. As it was MDF, is was warped, dirty and possibly quite moldy due to our humid climate.

I replaced it with a piece of hardwoord. As my electric saw broke last year and I have not replaced it yet, I had to use the old handsaw and that went quite fast too.

I gave the new baseboard a layer of primer and a layer of white paint.

It fit snugly in the gap below the balcony door and the screw holes were perfectly measured and placed. Installing it took all of two minutes.

 

The old one was hard plastic and over 20 years old. Pieces started falling off and it is also a bit too small for a family with children. The new one is made of bamboo and is way bigger.
