Here's my thing about 'Ten'.
I love the first half of this album. It's some of the best music I know in the genre. High energy, catchy, passionate. But somehow, the second half feels to me like the band ran out of ideas and gas. After 'Jeremy' it's all pretty average, low-energy stuff, with the exception of 'Garden'.
Dream Theater "Awake" (1994). Extraordinary from the first to the last note. 75 minutes of phenomenal prog metal. They've made good and great albums before and after, but they never excelled the pure class and artistry displayed on this album.
Bruce Dickinson "The Chemical Wedding". I never liked Iron Maiden much, but Dickinson's solo stuff is a different class. Fresh, creative, varied, energetic. Most of his solo albums are well worth the listen, but "Chemical Wedding" stands out for its high variety and creativity.
Spoken like someone who has never tried to get a group of people larger than two to collectively change their behaviour in a specific way.
If you're ever a parent, and you have one or more kids in school, and they engage in extracurricular activities - you'll be surprised how many amateur sports clubs and similar places communicate predominantly or even exclusively through Facebook.
Last time I checked, on iOS it didn't have either.
Edit: just checked, the iOS version still doesn't have downloads and does not support casting to Chromecast.
Support for downloading and Chromecast? Sign me up.
Is there anything else you'd like to insinuate I said that I didn't actually say?
Books:
Wool/Shift/Dust by Hugh Howey. A well written, immersive post apocalyptic fiction that has a satisfying conclusion.
The Passage/The Twelve/The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin. Pretty much the same as above.
The Century Trilogy by Ken Follett. A huge read that spans almost a century (from just prior WW1 to the late 20th century), accompanying the same families from several different countries and embedding them into significant world events of the 20th century. Really well written and enjoyable.
After watching the movies, I can't read the books any more. Tolkien was many things, he's great at world building and mythology, but storytelling is not among his greatest qualities.
You can disable and even delete an eSIM-profile. Then it's just a dead chip. If your provider is halfway decent, you can recover a deleted eSIM-profile as well.
When I traveled last year, having eSIM-capability in my phone was extremely convenient. I picked two providers, one as the primary and one as a backup in case there were problems with the first one. No juggling with the SIM-tray and different nano SIMs.
Oh, you're playing the "you're new to the internet" card.
Should have seen that coming.
Oh well, nobody ever credited people who claim to be part of the "PC master race" with an abundance of self-awareness. That's just a fact.
It's simple though. If you can count it, it's fewer. If not, it's less.
Fewer people. Less noise.
