Saw it today. It could have been so much more. Lots of inconsistencies regarding what the child can do.

Pretty much a blow everything up, action, special effects type of movie. Story was okay. Somewhat original. A few emotional manipulation tricks towards the end.

I'd give it a B-.

Update: wanted to add the cinematography was really good. Very inspiring scenery. That was the best part. The child actor was very good too. Those were the best parts of the movie. The US Army General was one dimensional, shallow, and just a bad stereotype. Very poorly done. That was the stupidest/worse parts of the movie.

Keychron Q13 Pro Full Size (Alice Layout) looks pretty cool. I have the Keychron Q3 TKL (not an ergo board) that I've been pretty happy about for a while now.

In another life I used to use the MS Natural ergo rubber dome keyboard and it was really great for comfort and preventing RSI. So I've been looking for a good mechanical (or Topre) ergo keyboard for a very long time. I think the Keychron Q10 Pro 75% TKL (Alice Layout) might be the one.

Danke schön.

Ah, a loop hole.

I wondered if there are other means, beside a mask or face cover, to not be seen. Like some sort of cream you put on, like you would sunscreen, that somehow tricks the camera recognition tools. ???

Definitely worth bookmarking. Lots of arithmetic going on there. Incredibly really.

Wow, very cool.

This is a pretty common wish, I'd wager. Know everything you know now with no responsibility. Ace school cause it'd be like a review. Friends and romance would be much, much easier with your experience. You would be SO free simply be knowing it's such a waste of time and energy worrying about certain things (am I normal, does she like me, am I ugly, etc.)

Oh to just sit back and relax with nothing hanging over my head and no responsibilities (compared to an adult). Oh, to have that very strong feeling of wonder and know your while life ahead of you and the possibilities are endless!

What a beautiful and splendid fantasy. If only.

For $13,000 I can be 16 again? SOLD!!!

Tiny things, like tiny doorknobs, tiny stairs cases, tiny doors, tiny houses, tiny cars, and a tiny say in government legislation, etc.

And all the smoking! Eek. And we thought we had a drug problem in the USA. I've never seen so many people addicted to nicotine in my life when I've been there. It's everywhere. No thank you, I don't want to inhale nasty odor while eating my lunch. Jeez, WTF?

And those who lobby them and/or help them get reelected.

Depends on what "running the world" means. That needs clarification.

I second Octavia Butler.

On my list to read, but haven't yet, is N.K. Jemisin.

A fairly new author is Malcom Turnbull. He was on a radio interview a while back and the book (The Lesson) sounded interesting so I gor it and read it.

A lot of the sci-fi books I've been reading lately have black [main] characters. I don't know if those authors are black though. I have to look into it.

MiX file explorer for android does this. It's free. Not sure if it's open source though, does anyone know?

It does use open source libraries.

Latest version is 6.64.3 beta.

Just another take, smoking and sky diving aren't things that you are. These are things you do. Statistics shows us these things can be dangerous. What of statistics for dangers of surgery, something the individual may do. Sure, you bet. Medicine needs? Could be.

What of objective metrics for the danger(s) of transitioning children under age of consent? Some think this is a bad thing and some think it's a good thing. Is it overall good or bad for the individual? This is an opportunity to use the tool of the scientific method to reveal truths to all. It should be studied, the whole thing. All aspects. The more this is studied, we'll eventually uncover some indisputable facts. We'll no longer have to rely on what individuals (with lots of biases) think. We'll actually know. I think the community would like everyone to know, also.

We may find there is good and there is bad. We can assign the ratios of good and bad, to levels of risk. Which then can be used as helpful information for the individual, caretakers, and their healthcare professionals in making decisions.

I recently finished Station Eleven and honestly thought it was a bit boring. After that read I was put off of that author. Is Sea of Tranquility on par with Station Eleven? Should I reconsider?

Mushrooms.

Be excellent to each other!

It's in my queue. Really looking forward to it. Heard lots of good things.
