I've heard people talking about the switch but I've not seen it yet on git for Windows. I'd upgrade but I need to set up a new remote box anyway (to replace my on-prem Bitbucket) and I don't need any hassles between now and whenever I get a chance to do that.

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

I remember reading a book when I was a kid called The Dog Days of Arthur Cane. I think the fairy was a witch doctor but basically the same idea. As I recall, Arthur saw the best and the worst of humanity during his predicament. Sadly no Wikipedia page for the author but the book is on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2006378.The_Dog_Days_of_Arthur_Cane

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.

Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

Edit: fixed a word

I'd only ever had iPhones until about four years ago. Switching to Android wasn't a big deal for me since I was already using Signal to communicate with the three human beings with whom I regularly exchange text messages. I've probably opened the message app twice since the switch.

By chance I ran across a relevant video earlier today. Shopping should be fun! https://youtu.be/5kRLCKH6bA8?si=4E8KEGQhfJv8f8jZ
