That’s a great idea. YouTube doesn’t have RSS feeds, does it?

Fascinating, thank you.

I’ve never heard him speak. What an odd quavering voice he has!

True enough. Thank you.

Is there any program that downloads from youtube without me needing to find the URL I want? Ideally I would like to search a catalog of genre/artist/album and click the download button. It ought to maybe find the biggest youtube channel with the artist’s name in it and then find the song.

Very true. It’s upsetting on Netflix or prime to search for a movie and it autocompletes but then they just show you “I know you really want to see X, but how about Y instead”?

That’s true, but I believe in this case it’s a double meaning referencing a twitch streamer playing that game Pog, and the acronym “Play Of [the] Game”.

In finance, out-of-pocket is synonymous with cash on hand, liquid assets. Means you can pay now without needing to incur a debt.

In business, out-of-pocket is usually synonymous with out-of-office, like AFK Away-From-Keyboard. Often shorter term than being fully on vacation. “I’ll be OOP after 2pm for a doctor’s appt.”

I have recently heard out-of-pocket used among youngsters or the terminally-online to mean rude or crazy, like you said. “Beyond the standards of normalcy”.

See I would totally be down to just hang and watch a movie with a friend, then GTFO.

Clarke, Niven, and Heinlein for me. The original _Rendezvous with Rama _inspires awe in me every time. Stranger in a Strange Land is beautiful. The Known Space (Ring world) books are among my favorites. I’m also very fond of Ian Bank’s The Culture , though they are from this millennium and maybe out of scope for this conversation!

I have and love Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars, Zelazny’s Amber, and Castle Perilous by John De Chancie. I’ve just started collecting E. E. “Doc” Smith. I’m slowly adding to my Ursula Leguin and Lester Del Ray shelves.

And I really can’t resist buying old yellow books with ridiculous titles like “_Mutiny in Space” , “assault on the gods” , or “The shattered stars”. _ Bonus Points for awesome spaceships on the cover. I’ll buy those any day without any idea of the author or story.

I think you and I would be good friends. Other than buying books by the Grandmasters, I pick based on the ridiculous cover art. Woman in a space-bikini with an atomic raygun threatened by a lizard/wookie hybrid with a jetpack? Yes please!

That’s a fantastic name for a podcast (or most anything else).

Cautionary Tales is stressful but fun. The host has a great style and podcast voice.

LeVar Burton Reads is often great. If you like LeVar and have kids in your life, they may like Sound Detectives! , wherein a detective and a 4 foot tall ear named Audie investigate missing sounds.

The Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine? Nice.

I’ve never listened, but I’m in the McElroy orbit already so maybe I ought to give it a shot.

I tried a (pre-color) game boy game ROM and the colors are all messed up and they aren’t consistent across a screen. What did I do wrong?

It sounds like you want a blog that lets you categorize or tag your entries to keep them together.

Believe it, sister!

That IS pretty good…

I speak some German and Spanish with the formal You (Sie and Usted) and it’s handy but adds complication as a learner.

Awesome.
