Asking around gave me this shortlist of suggestions:

  • Agustina Bazterrica (in Spanish)
  • Suzan Palumbo’s short fiction collection Skin Thief
  • Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin’s Wax & Wane
  • Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad
  • Kev Lambert’s You Will Love What You Have Killed

We’ve had naval reactors for decades. Noting that, what is the holdup with SMRs on land?

Interesting tidbit on the price specified in the ad about fair trade laws.

Very funny to me that “libertarian” New Hampshire does the same.

Look for an infoshop or radical bookstore if you live near a city. Great community hubs and ways to meet people with a similar ethos.

It’s just a scam to cash out at sky-high valuations before the bubble pops. Trying to stick the fucking scam on the taxpayers. The OpenAI is being billed as a “gift” but no way Anthropic and X.ai are doing anything but selling.

Clutter is a slur invented by big minimalism to sell more less.

I totally forgot about that! Yeah, I guess there were multiple CD game, damn. And we had lost, what was it, disk 3? So my family never beat Riven specifically. What a memory from the archive that is thanks for bringing it up.

I remember playing games on multiple floppies way back when! Then there was a good stretch when a single CD could hold everything, and now we’re back to multiple discs. It’s all cyclical.

I think it’s largely dependant on location. I live in the northeast US and never heard of this before my cousin moved to California and has his registration sticker stolen the day after he got Cali plates.

Edit: Solved, it’s “Christine” from 1987. An episode of ScreenPlay.

I have a movie on the tip of my tongue but cannot remember what it is. It’s about a teen girl, I think it’s Scottish, and she walks around her town with a plastic bag selling heroin and helping her customers shoot up. The problem is if you search “teen heroin scotland” in any form you just get Trainspotting. Might have been a TV film originally? I don’t recall it being that long, possibly sub-90 minutes.

I have it in my head that the name is something suspiciously close to a more famous teen heroin movie: Christiane F. I feel like it’s something close to that, “Christina” or maybe even just “Christian” but I could be wrong.

Just curious what this is? Spotted in suburban northeast US. Didn’t see anything wlse like it around but maybe I just missed them.

 

In Massachusetts the fees for a marriage license are set by each town. It costs $50 to get married in Boston but only $15 in Wenham. Are there any cheaper cities or towns in the Commonwealth?
