Strawberry poke cake sounds disgusting. Sashimi seafood and fruit in cake form? Ugh.

Revolution and civil war never bring immediate prosperity and peace. Prosperity only goes to those who deal in death, and peace to those who die at their hands.

Do you prefer simple games, or complex games with lots of bits and bobs to move around and spreadsheets to keep track of things?

In the US, we.get mattress companies popping up this time of year. The ads start flooding in from no-name companies hoping to make a name from people wanting to spend money before the holidays. Most of these involve variations on air mattresses. There is nothing new in mattresses.

In the distant past as in 2025 we have prejudice, division, fear, hate, sponsored wars and greed. What will 2026 bring? What will 2125 bring? More of the same. Why would you expect humans to suddenly see a reason to be different?

@manton OK, it’s a true cell display. Cool.

@Archimage
@manton Oh and the subscription is a big minus for extra features that others bundle.
S Koren
@Archimage
@manton Color displays are always low-fidelity (not resolution) unless they use the new cell technology (which isn’t cheap), and tend to be more power-hungry than b/w. Tack on the front-light and you have an issue. The front-light also adds a layer between the writing surface and the display adding to fuzziness. I note the article is absent of specs and comparisons to other similar devices, and is therefore suspect. ;) Too much fan-boy gushing in the article.

@manton SwiftUI (the UI portion) might be, but Swift, at least for me, isn’t.

@JohnPhilpin yup. But it wasn't this hot, I don't think.

@Archimage
@odd good one.
