When I was a substitute teacher I would give the kids logic puzzles of varying difficulty. I would offer $100 if anyone could provide me with the answer to this one. If they looked it up on Wikipedia and could then explain it to me, Iâd give them a king size candy bar.
I never had to pay out.
Iâm still praying for TempleOS mobile version.
âThe Book of the New Sunâ exists and is one of the most amazing things ever written. I canât recommend it enough but it comes with the caveat that you donât âread Gene Wolfe, you reread himâ.
Members of Congress (US) seem to be surprisingly good at investing. I wonder what their secret is lol
Youâve got to try and go back and finish it. The series was made for the reread. I love the atmosphere and The Vibes, but after you finish the series a bunch of things just click into place and youâve got to go back and start reading from the beginning again.
Itâs one of those series that would create such a cool show or movie because of the atmosphere, but I donât think we could be done well because there is so many things hidden in the words that you really couldnât hide in a visual format.
âOn Blueâs Watersâ by Gene Wolfe.
If you havenât heard of the Solar Cycle, or looked into âThe Book of the New Sunâ, I canât recommend it enough.
My brother was finally able to finish the fifth book recently after starting the series roughly 10 years ago, and the fact that he immediately started rereading from the beginning is a testament to how well this series sticks with you.
âPaths of Gloryâ is one of Kubrickâs most underated films (or at least lesser known) and the ending is pure emotional power.
The fact that you just spent almost 90 minutes hating humanity and the shitty situations in which we put ourselves as a species, only to be able to come away from the film thinking âweâre not all badâ because of what happens in the final 10 minutes blows my mind.
If you havenât seen it, I canât recommend it enough.
The Blue Whale is so large, that if you laid one out on a standard NBA basketball court, the game would be postponed.
âThe Day the Clown Criedâ was released from the library of Congress last year but I havenât seen a copy so I donât know where it rates.
