Magnets near computers at all while we're at it LOL.

We learned to tolerate a big purple-green splotch in the corner of my family's ultra heavy CRT display after I held one of those neat telescopic-magnet-wands too close to it once.

Then I learned there was a "degauss" function!

That seemed like magic how fast it made the unsightly blemish, and my parents' irritation, vanish. XD

I remember seeing tutorials on making a neat degaussing contraption using magnets and an electric drill, too. O.o

Hard drives though...probably not as easily fixed.

Guarantee you'll walk away with a new vocabulary of delightful one-liners and inside-jokes you might have once encountered, that will suddenly make sense. :D

I've been wanting to watch it again for a while now haha.

Galaxy Quest! It's a comedy film that equally spoofs and homages Star Trek. Timeless classic by now. Worth seeing if you never have. :D

Ah yes, all those books whose plots are being used as manuals these days. :( lol

The Giver was really neat. Accessible too. The movie adaptation was such a bad idea because I thought one of its strengths was how it was set in an ambiguous time, iirc. The reader's visuals seemed really important for that story.

Oh wow, I actually haven't read the Rama books (been meaning to!), but I vividly remember the flawed-but-wonderous PC adventure game. Have you played it by chance?

Haha, grokking abstract space-math associations maybe wasn't my strength when I was like...7 or something (prolly still isn't LOL). But I sure did enjoy crudely drawing the biots and aliens. :D

The soundtrack is still one of my favorites from any game, ever.

This humorous review is fun to watch, but there's really good gameplay and stuff without commentary too. :)

There's been some surprising upsets recently though! We were all bracing for a fashy-wave but lots of progressive leaders have been elected lately, after it looked like their hardline iron-fist nationlist counterparts were gaining ground.

By no means a reason to take it easy and give them a breather, oh no! But we should definitely acknowledge every little bit of dystopia we manage to collectively avert. Even if only a little.
