This has been bothering me for some time now…
How can it be that you can walk into a shop and buy a blank notebook for a tenner…or a paperback book which an author has written over perhaps many years and eventually got published with all the editing and marketing costs that entails for the same price?
It’s maddening…
Is it just me, or do phone connectors (e.g. 3.5mm TRS on headphones) *always* become unreliable? I don't think I've ever had earphones/headphones with such a connector which haven't, at some point, started having a loose connection. My current set of headphones that I have plugged into my laptop practically all the time sometimes sound tinny or far-away and I have to nudge the connector to get them back to full loudness. I don't think I've ever been rough with these connectors, and it's unlikely to be due to excessive plug/unplug cycles as I rarely unplug them — mainly just when I'm packing up the laptop to travel, which happens maybe a handful of times a year. Is it just that they wear out after a year or two? Or do they have to be treated like Fabergé eggs to remain reliable? Either way I'm seriously thinking USB might be best when I next buy any audio stuff for the computer.
Incidentally I also want to get something to record good audio — want to try to do audiobook reading and other voice stuff — so recommendations for something reasonably priced that would record natural sounding voice would be good. Not sure if I want a USB mic with a long lead (so I can move away from the computer's fan noise) or a stand-alone voice recorder I can take into a quiet room.
The alien was relentless, ruthless and too primitive for communication.
The crew hid, defending themselves against the creature each time it found one of them.
Its howls were chilling. Ensigns would freeze in place, needing peers to urge them to run back to the Starship.
Some injuries were critical, but the Captain was relieved they'd all gotten away.

Pawsome was good! I was nervous about it because I am a can of anxiety in spring water & the different dress code is new to me but honestly I'm convinced let furs be themselves. Was fun just vibe in rubber & the venue is private with outdoor space amazing to just sit in the cool October sun. Smaller attendance means that it isn't a case of seeing friends once if you're lucky, you can spend time each other
I was shaking while doing my show but everyone was supportive & seemed to enjoy it we all make these events special by being with each other & to think I've added to that is so nice x
"Can I help you?" the magic shop proprietor asked.
"What swords do you have?"
"Only one, today. This is 'Hyvla', the sharpest sword ever made."
"Any conditions on it?"
"Before sheathing, the blade must be quenched in porridge or it will dull."
"That's inconvenient."
"I also have this pot..."

It was the perfect day for a picnic. Plenty of cloud cover dark gray at the edges.
The blanket was laid out, heavy brass goblets placed at each corner; in the center a basket full of exotic treats; centaur flank steak, smoked harpy breast, and sugared gorgon snakes.
"Where is the suckling human roast," asked the Old One.
"I named him," admitted her sixth spawn, "I was too attached..."
Everyone sighed; leftover autocrat pâté it was then.

Each time the light flickered the apparition drew closer.
Sometimes it seemed to retreat, but mostly it progressed forward at a frightening if staggered pace.
Frozen in my chair, toes chilled, fingers frosty, micro-beads of sweat bubbled on the back of my neck. The urge to scream died with the realization that I lived alone and the neighbors wouldn't hear.
It loomed above me, opening its maw, "Why did you change the Wi-Fi password?!"
