I always assumed that the Boom in Boomer Shooter was more “Gun go Boom”, which seemed to fit the genre quite well.

Ooo! You'd think a double double is 4x so at 2x the price is a steal!
Sure looks like an R, but I wonder if that wasn't always the idea. The shot of Deadpool in a car from the trailer is different from the screenshot on Marvel.com. Looks like they added in additional digital blood in post. Comparison here.
They are already doing that. Patherfinder 2e itself is going through a ‘remaster’ under a completely new license, it has all the OGL remnants stripped out.
The Newton was before its time. So many features we use our phones for today were pioneered in the PDA era.
Interestingly, Apple has donated the phone version of MagSafe to the Qi open wireless charging standard. Soon we’ll see a magnetically aligning wireless charging Qi2 devices from other manufacturers.
Getting out to the dark and just looking up is a really good suggestion of a place to start. Turn Left at Orion is a really good absolute beginner book too, so I second that recommendation as well. One resource I'd recommend that was missing from the article is the Cloudy Nights Forums. It's one of the niche old-style forums that a lot of amateur astronomers frequent.
For me, the Apple Watch is about reducing notifications to mere glances at my wrist. That instead of interrupting what I’m doing to pull my phone out of my pocket I can at a glance categorize what, if anything, I need to do in response to that notification. That and always accurate time to me was worth getting a watch. I upgraded from a series 3 to a series 6 when the sensor tech advanced enough to convince me to update. The 9 has some new stuff, but not enough to convince me to upgrade.
That looks like a type of Thin film interference, like you’d see on an oil slick or a soap bubble. Wikipedia says:
Thin-film interference is a natural phenomenon in which light waves reflected by the upper and lower boundaries of a thin film interfere with one another, either enhancing or reducing the reflected light.
I’d guess the display uses a thin film on one of its layers causing this rainbow interference pattern that shifts depending on viewing angle.
One of my takeaways is that some of the people aren’t intrinsically awful, they are just un-aware or un-knowing. That some think feminism means female supremacy, or that woke is some undefinable thing they don’t like. And that with some stomach churning effort some people can be reached. I applaud those willing to try and reach them.
“…do you teach feminism?” … “No, I teach all genders are equal and should be treated as such.” … ‘She buys three kits.‘
The whole article is so enlightening.
Thanks for that, I just had a nice wave of nostalgia.
