  • Also mostly the plot of Ernest Cline’s Armada, with a megaton of unsufferable 'tude and pointless 80’s references sprinkled on it. Those references include “the last Starfighter”, of course. It’s terrible.

    The podcast “372 pages we’ll never get back” with Mike and Connor from MST3K/rifftrax did its second season on it. Kind of a book club with books they assume they’re going to hate (mostly). First season was Ready Player One, from Cline too, so they chose this one next because they were astonished that Armada could be considered the bad one compared to RP1.




  • Where I live, even our winter time isn’t close to be aligned with sun time (GMT+1 though we’re basically on the Greenwich meridian). Summer time is off by two hours.

    Problem is, our school/work/activity schedules have been made to adapt to that, so having days centered around actual sun midday would sound like crazy talk to people. It’s just because of how we already compensated for it.
