@mattmcirvin @futurebird The designated trick-or-treat day is a good idea. Halloween in a weekday is just awful. Around here, trunk-or-treats tend to go on weekends, so you could trick-or-treat any day if walking around a parking lot getting candy from the back of pick up trucks is called trick-or-treating.

@futurebird There are really 4 plot lines in the series. Rincewind, Witches, Nights Watch, and Death. There could be more.I like The Nights Watch the best, but The Witches are a close second. I think Equal Rights is a Witch one, but it’s been a while. It might be a one off. Yes, it was very good.

@futurebird I finally went to NYC this summer. Originally, I’m from the Chicago area, and I figured I’d like it, but that it would be largely similar. I was wrong. I love NY precisely because it has a very different feel from Chicago. I love them both, but it is not the same. I can’t wait to go back, but I’ll skip the fireworks.

@futurebird May as well get one for yourself while your giving up on math.

@futurebird Yeah, Stack Exchange is pretty useless to the point that I scroll past those search results. Everyone that learns a new language has to ask the basic stuff, and you’ll never find it there.

@futurebird Yeah, a lot of answers are “just so”, but I don’t like just copying code without understanding. For example, the print command in Fortran is “print *, ‘text’”. What is that asterisk? Do I ever need anything else? I know I do because I’ve seen that code, but when and why? It must tell the compiler something, but what?

@futurebird Got it! It is engaging. Definitely makes me wonder what Lucian’s future is like. Are they just all telepathically connected 24/7? What would that do to someone? You’d have to reorder your brain with isolated components like a circuit board. One area for communications 24/7 and another for processing.

@futurebird Yes, I know this. Oddly, my weird 10 yo daughter appears to be aware as well. I was impressed.

@futurebird She likes playing with her friends. This kid needs that social outlet too.

@futurebird I think some plain silicate rock that dates back millions of years, but with an embedded internal structure of epitaxially grown layered crystals ordered with such order it could only be synthetic.That’s the best I can do.

@futurebird When we moved in, there was a vine exactly that big in our driveway. I think it took us three years to get rid of it. First we cut it at the base, and just left it for a year to just make it desiccate a bit. And lots of Round Up. (Sorry folks, we had a toddler, that needed to be gone.)

@Nonilex I don’t understand why they wouldn’t be able to find a more discrete place on his body, but I am not in amy way qualified to know.
