Explaining all the nuances and the whys/wherefores takes some work, so here’s one such recent article discussing the issues and difficulties that LED lighting creates.

Watched Netflix Edge Runners and really enjoyed it. Similar series/movies out there? Never really been into anime and it just never grabbed my attention. But the stylistic approach and soundtrack for Edge Runners sucked me in somehow. TIA

gmonkee LinkStarCraft and/or Homeworld. StarCraft was so fun online and Homeworld as stand-alone was great. Would love a new release of either (especially on an iPad) or to see someone take them as a baseline...StarCraft and/or Homeworld. StarCraft was so fun online and Homeworld as stand-alone was great. Would love a new release of either (especially on an iPad) or to see someone take them as a baseline and create something totally new.

Comment on Gravel bike on single track? Good idea or bad idea. in ~hobbies

Just finished the last available book in the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. SciFi/Fantasy pulling heavily from Roman history and time honored class war/social stratification themes. Started out sort of young adult (but rather violent) flavor told in 1st person from a single character’s point of view. After 1st book the YA flavor goes away altogether. As books progress it moves into 1st person narrative from multiple character’s points of view. Really enjoyed the series over all and looking forward to the final book in series when published.
