For the “Midwest”, in my opinion:

• Ohio is in the Midwest (or at least the places you can order “pop”…maybe this isn’t a thing in Ohio…I don’t know…Ohio sucks…Go Blue)
• North/South Dakota shouldn’t be
• Kansas shouldn’t be
• Nebraska shouldn’t be

…for now.

Can you move between them in Elder Scrolls Online? I’ve never played myself, but it would be cool to walk between the locations.

I didn’t do that specifically, but one of my grandfathers was an insurance salesman and worked out of a home office before he retired.

He still had all of his things by the time my sister and I would play at their house as kids, and we would spend HOURS playing office. Typing memos to each other, cutting paper, using white out, etc.

I haven’t read the Andromeda Strain…I guess I shouldn’t?

I actually enjoyed 90% of Sphere, but then the ending just…killed it. Like, it comes off as if he just got sick of writing the story despite not having a way to end it.

The Sphere. I’ve never hated the ending to a book more.

What’s Bebop up to these days?

I really enjoyed the TV show Slow Horses.

RemindMe! 4 years

Another Shield Pro?

I would love to see these!

Going on a walk regularly.

I just set up Tailscale for the first time, and it is mind-blowing how easy and straightforward it is compared to previous times I’ve set up VPNs. I can’t imagine ever going back (maybe I’d selfhost Headscale). It’s such a great system (product?).
