“How much?”
“Oh that one, 50 million”
“And the artist?”
“Oh it’s very sad, died penniless, like most of them”
“That is sad. And that one?”
“70 million, but it’s worth the price. It was the last one the artist painted before she died”
“Oh, how fascinating! How did she die?”
“Pneumonia. Couldn’t afford heating in the winter”
“How sad. And that one?”
“Oh, just five hundred. But you wouldn’t want that one. Asshole’s still alive”
@McRocker I’m not certain how I have not seen some big films from the 90s. Top Gun is another. At the time it was released, I preferred repeat theatre viewings of Aliens which was running at the same time on another screen.
@McRocker That’s in my unwritten to-watch list. So many things I have not seen yet.
Do yourself an enormous favour and start reframing walkers, zimmer frames, wheelchairs etc as *positive* devices that will help you one day (when you're old, for example), so that when the time comes and you need one, it's not such a big adjustment and shock.

I've started reading Greta Thunberg's "The Climate Book: The Facts and the Solutions."

While I'm only 8% into the ebook version, I can say that any fears it might be a "bash you over the head with a torrent of dense scientific data," and angry tirades sort of book have been laid to rest.

It's very readable, and the chapters are short, digestible essays by various science experts. It's interspersed with thoughtful, intelligent commentary by Greta herself.

@Sparky I just got back from a journey reading about nscde and sparky Linux. Core memories unlocked.
@Sparky I last saw CDE on …. I’m not sure. I’ve used it on Solaris, HP/UX, AIX 4.2 or similar age.

I’m guessing NsCDE is a clone or port to Linux?

I liked OpenLook‘s Betamax better but CDE’s VHS won that particular gui marketing battle.
