I like the just speed up a small, really heavy object to a very high speed approach of The Three Body Problem books.

I was going to point out some errors but basically everything needs fixing.

Ok, but on New Zealand there were no land predators, only air and water predators, so digging a hole or staying still in the dense forest was a good survival strategy.

A lot of them seem to lack the features of older MP3 players (like queuing the next song or creating playlists) so I got one with android (Hiby M300) and just disabled the play store and browser. Getting music on it is as easy as the players I had in the past, just plug it into a computer and copy over files in the file explorer. The sound quality ranges from decent to incredible as the market has more focus on audiophiles these days. The real problem is that a lot of them are way too big and have poor battery life because of the integrated amps.

I haven’t gone back to physical media, but I bought a MP3 player last month and it’s so nice to listen to music on a dedicated device (with a headphone jack!).

Woe’m’st’ve’d

Why’d’ve gone and done a thing like that?

There was a British show I watched once upon a time that visited old castles in the UK and recreated the menus from dinner parties of the 1500s. Aspic was apparently super popular for showing off your wealth and almost every menu had it.

That seems pretty reasonable to me if they’re high quality.
