    I completely agree, it was one in a million and I was extremely surprised when it happened.

    I've never been on the receiving end of a "that happened" before. Not really sure what to do about it. But I get it.

    Yes, it's a bigger store where the bottom floor is groceries and the top is more of a department store with a few shelves of computer and phone stuff, among other things.

  • Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left. It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!

    DOOM (1993): I like it. First time playing it, just finished "knee-deep in the dead" and started the next chapter!

    Shadow of the tomb raider: gameplay is fun but the story isn't as fun as the previous games. Something just feels off to me.

    I also just bought most of the resident evil games in the new humble bundle, have only played a little of 1 remaster, a year ago, and 5, about 10 years ago. I like weird scifi horror and this seems like just that, so hope I'll like it, when I finally get around to playing them!

  • YSK it's either "should have" or "should've". "Should of" is incorrect

    The footnotes are pretty much their own story. The book is written like a textbook so it might be quite hard to read sometimes, and it is sometimes boring but still somehow interesting. I don't think there really is a correct way of reading it though, I mean, you could skip the footnotes but then you'd only kind of get 1/3 of the story. There are footnotes and then there are footnotes of the footnotes.

    I've seen "should of" in a book before. I think it was house of leaves, that had a bunch of them in it but it was only from one characters perspective if I remember correctly, so it might have been a stylistic choice. Still recommend the book though.
