@lucifargundam When the nukes come, you'll be the richest person in your neighbourhood!

@mattmadness The camera needs a macro mode, lol. But it looks sweet! Definitely should last a lot longer than your previous stick! :D

@ambulocetus Can relate. It needs some taste in that case!

@mattmadness Ooh, fancy. So that part of the stick that sticks into the laptop is molded out of the same thing as the case itself? That'd be a very robust one!

@juliank Lol, showering with sugary water is indeed not recommended. :D Unless you're _really_ fond of insects!

About the sugary water, it wasn't really about the carbs but about the minerals themselves. I think having a little sachet of some sort of cup a soup might be a better idea. Something salty. In liquid form would be distributed through your body faster I think. But energy bars and lots of water work too I guess!

My country's too flat to climb anything. ;) If we suddenly needed to 'climb', we know we likely accidentally ended up in a neighbouring country!

@mattmadness Oh that's a very nice price indeed! Hope it's indeed as strong as it looks like then! :D

@lydiaconwell Something about the queen not wanting to give up on the throne for such a long time?

@juliank That is indeed quite a long bike trip, yeah. Might even want some of the slightly more sugary drinks for the energy instead of plain water. Generally speaking plain water is perfectly fine, but if you're sweating a lot you need a bit more than that.

@juliank Guess you need to bike more! ;)

@mattmadness I hope so for ya! But you could also buy one of those tiny USB sticks that you can leave in the laptop forever without worries.

@2ck Guess that's how they got their name... 😁

@urusan Huh, i should give this a try.. if it can make the itch stop that'd be wonderful.

@eqyo Yeah, there was some adjusting from each of them, so there was some development at least. Although having that happen near the end as a short of epiphany was kind of cliche i think.

@Pat And nowadays you can get away with murder. How times change...

I've finished reading _De goede grap van Norman Foreman_ by Julietta Henderson. Original title is _The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman_.

It was an alright read. There are two main characters, Norman and his mother. The chapters are written from their perspectives, alternating between those two. The roadtrip in the story was at least something, they did meet interesting and weird characters on the way. I can't help but feel that the story could have been a bit more dynamic. The guy travelling with them was almost a HAL 9000. Very convenient. :P

My annoyances are that the mother was quite an overthinker in the extreme of 'We better go home, because it's too scary'. Norman was the other way around and kept thinking about what his recently deceased buddy would've said about the trip. After a while that got a bit tedious to read over and over again.

When they finally came closer to the end of their roadtrip, the pace accelerated like crazy. And you know what? That part was actually very fun to read. It's ridiculous, very unlikely, but still fun to read. That was a very welcome diversion.

The ending was just a bit underwhelming. I mean, it was totally expected but still... I've read books before which has roughly the same kind of deal and they managed to milk their endings more. I wanted to see some more about Norman's performances there, but ah well. Onwards to the next book I guess.
