I only have the PSVR. Assuming you have a great computer to be able to run the Oculus, I do like that as opposed to the PSVR because Oculus will come out with a new headset more often.

I can't wait for Starlink. Only one internet provider in town and they know it. My internet has been out for a week and they regularly don't bother showing up for scheduled repairs. And when they do they tell me their box is old and there's nothing they can do.

I think a used PS4 will be a Christmas gift for the brother. He'll never play anything, but the parents live nearby him and we'd all be able to play Jackbox together. And since the brother-in-law already has one, it'll be fun to say "This is a gift for the whole family, except Rebecca."

On the slim chance you haven't yet, also see the documentary Fistful of Quarters. The antagonist of the documentary also made the news somewhat recently. It would fit well with that Netflix series.

My boss is the only one on that side of the street and they told her that they'd already connected as many lines as they could and couldn't add her unless somebody drops out. It's a poor area. Folks around here would only have enough money for the cheapest package, and so the company focuses on the richer folks. And we're on a park boundary, so there won't be further development for them to warrant expansion.

I'm in the middle of nowhere not WI. Been looking into ways to ditch my 3Mb internet. Only one satellite company offers service, a 10Mb speed which they also throttle once you reach a fairly low usage on. I thought MiFi would be the solution, but the Verizon guy told me it's also a very low data limit and there's no getting around it. My boss next door but on a different street can't even get DSL unless she gives them $5000 to run a wire there.

A good few new ones, thanks!

The D&D episodes of Community were pulled, though, which were some of the best episodes they did. I just finished watching The Cool Kids. I don't actually recommend watching it, but there's a dearth of sitcoms on tv and it managed to kill some time.

Apparently I've been leaning forward when I walk for decades now. The internet says it's Thoracic Kyphosis, so I've been doing some stretches for it and adding in lower and middle traps to the workouts. That combined with the mindfulness of it, I do think I'm standing up and walking straighter now. I was probably leaning forward a good 8" and never really realized it. A couple months in and I'm still working out regularly. Really happy about that, since sticking with it is one of my two bigger weaknesses. The slightly better shift schedule with my new park has made all the difference.
-
Same here. I started using a wake-up light and that's really helped. Gradually turns on to simulate a sunrise, so now I'm either awake before my alarm or at least in a closer-to-awake phase of sleep at the alarm. Still tough to actually get out of bed, but for the most part I'm waking up a little more alert, and that's really helped. My bigger problem is that it's easy for me to accidentally stay up late. So now I've set a sunset light in my living room as a bit of a reminder to go to bed, as well as a timer on my tv plug that turns it off at 10:11 every night. I'd do the same to my router if I didn't need podcasts to sleep to.

John Krasinski's "Some Good News" Youtube channel is just terrific.

I'm just happy I worked out this morning. First day in a good while of trying to stick to a regular routine. I work rotating shifts and I'd always fallen out of it once I go on night shift. Slightly better hours with a new park helps, even though it means getting home from work and immediately going to bed. Also, hitting a heavy bag even for a little while is exhausting.
-
I don't get the sense that the PSVR actually breaks that often. My comment was more just being frustrated.
-
I have a PSVR that was working great in my old house. I move a couple hours away and the processor unit (the small box) stopped working (even though the PS4 in the same box was fine). The indicator light said it was overheating (had just plugged it in) and the fan wouldn't turn on. So I bought another processor unit off of ebay and it's the same exact thing. Wires are all correct and the originals. I'm at a loss and it's really bugging me. edit: When I enter the serial number of the ebay one it gives me an error. My original one goes through fine. Maybe the ebay one is some Chinese knockoff. double-edit: Playstation says $99 repair cost. ugh.

A co-worker keeps talking about Carnival. Usually hovers around $50 and has gotten as low as $7. Been bouncing around +/- $4 the past week or so, so I'd guess a lot of folks are using it as a quick buy/sell stock. He's also looking into the company's suppliers, which almost certainly would have Carnival as their biggest client.

So Laurie Metcalf played Sheldon's mother in the Big Bang show. I hadn't realized before, but the woman who plays the mother in Young Sheldon is Laurie Metcalf's real-life daughter. Clever little bit of casting.

Cats are currently locked in an empty room with food and water and a toilet. They HATE their cage and it requires leather gloves and long sleeves to get them in there with a lot of fighting. When people come they hide and even I can't find them. Hence the empty room.
-
Movers come tomorrow. It seems like once you start pulling everything out of the cabinets, that's when the mice and roaches start coming out. Stupid cats just stared at the mouse. Still a lot of loose junk, but I'll have to come back and clean, anyway, and I can grab it with my 5' truck. Got a surprise new boss, but I hear she'll be good. Also retires in about a year.
-
Thanks. My big boss found out I interviewed today and apparently thought it would be a good move. I suppose the only reason I'd hesitated is that I was hoping my next park could be something of a retirement park, where I could stay where I was should I decide not to become a Superintendent, and the size of the house isn't one I'd want to stay at another 15 years. But I suppose most likely is I'd get bored and want to move somewhere else in time, either way. At this point I'll take the job if I'm offered it. I don't totally know if I want to be a Superintendent yet, but at the least I'd like to put myself in position to get that promotion should I eventually decide that's what I want to do. Tiny house, yeah, but it's looking like a 2-4 year stint there, which isn't any crazy amount of time. And yeah, no wife or kids, so I'm sure I can manage.

Just interviewed to work at a different park. Professionally, everything is there: Good working atmosphere, chance to learn the Boss' role to take that job in a few years, more relaxed pace, get along with the boss really well, all that stuff. But toured the Ranger residence and wow that house is SMALL. Not sure the square footage, but my current one is about three times as big. My last one-bedroom apartment was about the same size--it's basically a tiny dining area and a living room the size of a not-master bedroom, with three small bedrooms attached. Initially I didn't have a single hesitation about taking the job. Suddenly the house is a big one, though probably I wouldn't be living in it much more than 2-4 years until a promotion (more $) at a different park or becoming the boss at that one (more $ plus I could swap houses) opens up.

Saw Yesterday...uh...yesterday. Enjoyed it. Docduany's comment of "very easy to like" is apt. It fits if you're looking for a movie which everyone in the party would enjoy. But it's 'light' in that the depth isn't there to be worth talking about much longer after you leave the theater. So we've got Queen, Elton John, The Beatles, Motley Crue (or something like them) and now Bruce Springsteen. So I guess as the alternative to superhero movies the singer biopic is what we're going to get a million of?

Job just opened up, with housing, right on the barrier islands along the coast. Very busy but generally not much nonsense happens there. I thought it'd be a little cooler due to the coastal breeze, but a co-worker was just there and said it was hot as blazes. People always say you get used to the heat, but my Wisconsin blood still can't deal with it well. The job rarely comes open, but I don't think I'll apply. Who'd want a job protecting thousands of girls in bikinis, anyway?/s Thinking a lot about the possibility of working toward a superintendent job roughly five years down the road. I don't particularly want the bigger leadership/responsibility/go-to-guy role. But I won't be retiring with a full pension and the extra $1000/mo I can make at the position would be a tremendous benefit.

I think I'm late to know, but I guess Amazon is re-tooling their version of Top Gear. Episodes are being scrapped and they're focusing exclusively on making their specials--those episodes where they drive to the north pole or through Uganda in RVs and stuff like that. I'd stopped watching the Amazon version in Season 1 because their conversation got to be way more scripted and the silly weekly challenges were boring. Specifically, I stopped watching when they went to Hollywood movie set designed to look like ancient Arabia. Not only did they just run laps for the whole show (boring) but I was supposed to believe the short guy genuinely thought they'd discovered an ancient city. I just watched 15 minutes of the BBC one with the new hosts. The chemistry isn't really there, which I think is a consequence of not near as much insulting each other and consciously trying not to be exactly like the old hosts. But the show itself wasn't all that bad.

I haven't been to a theater in a very long time, but the Beatles movie Yesterday looks like fun and I think I'll make an effort to go see that.
