The Kindle ads really are a non-issue. If you pay to have them removed ($20) they still put a literature-related illustration on the lock screen, so the overall experience is all but indistinguishable. The ads never intrude when you’re reading.

Yes, “CCP” means “Commercial Crew Program”. However, I can’t help noticing how close it is to CCCP, the Cyrillic acronym for USSR emblazoned all over Russian spacecraft and space suits. Has our space program been infiltrated? I grew up in the cold war, and I’d put nothing past those godless commies.

Meh... MIB already took care of that for us.

Fun fact: the Bikini bathing suit was named for the 1946 atomic test at Bikini Atoll.

Yeah, we all know where this is going. Bruce the mechanical shark...

The Kindle is the second greatest gadget ever, and for me that’s saying a lot, coming as I do from the ‘50s, the headwaters of gadget culture. The greatest gadget ever was and remains the transistor radio. However, the Kindle is a strong second, and for many of the same reasons... it’s a portable device that keeps you…

It’s about damn time.

Reader’s Digest did this with their Condensed Books series, 1950-1997, selling over 10 million copies of both fiction and non-fiction. Everything old is new again.

I’m sure I’ll like it; I love cheesy disaster movies. That said, even if the moon’s orbit was only slightly disturbed and didn’t hit the earth, it would still devastate us. Oceans would slosh out of their basins and flood everything, tectonic plates would shift around, earthquakes, volcanoes, dogs and cats living…

We had these back in the ‘50s for watching tv in bed. Everything old is new again.

You can get USB extension cables with active repeaters in them. I’ve used one with a printer with good results, but I don’t know what that would do to video sync etc.

There is some serious rebooting going on here.

God bless you and all your progeny.

“...move objects without being pushed back against...”

Of course I know how old they are. It’s just that they’re playing the same teen slacker characters with their much older selves... the contrast is jarring.

Woof... the years have not been kind to Bill and Ted. Me either, but I’m not a movie star.

I’ve read it at least half a dozen times. I think it’s great, but sure... your mileage may vary.

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. One of the best sci fi novels ever, largely forgotten and way overdue for a movie. I’m looking at you Spielberg.

You left out agent Peggy Carter, one of the greatest.
