Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. I finally put it down after trying to read it... But I may get the audiobook sometime to see if that helps
Its a thick book and beautifully written but I felt like it was slog.

Agreed! This is how i watch too. Last two times I've gone to theatres was for both Dune movies. Otherwise, its just home.
Very true for both audio and sound. There are just films made by specifically for large formats and higher quality set ups.
Its great that you have headphones OP as it's a step. If you still enjoy what you're seeing, that's all that really matters IMO. Not everyone is privileged to have a nice home system set up which is I think why theatres are still a thing.
More information on sounds and subtitles that I watched a few weeks ago. I also watched a video on TV modes and the differences of visual on theatre vs TV vs mobile but can't recall the video.
Audiobook: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.
Regular reading: Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. I think its just okay so far but I'm not really that big on fantasy. Its for a book club. I know others love it.
Reading the thread. Most of you guys are not THAT short lol. I actually married my guy who is 5'1". He has a nice smile, funny and smart.
He has told me unfortunately that he has often been declined often by women due to his height. We have asked our mutual friends who said they won't date someone who is that short which is unfortunate because they all love him too.
He's pretty confident, professional, so people from work finally meet him in person, they are surprised he is not taller.
I think its more this as well. Also, Medicaid, which they likely had, and their children definitely had, would cover ambulance.
This was what I was thinking and feeling. Other grocery stores in other countries did not feel like they had as much variety
My eggroll Asian cookies were the most obvious. They were like $6 or $7 a box (damn inflation). Now they are $16. Damn those tariffs
A 4K MSI gaming monitor. I figured it was cheaper to sign up for GeForce Now and use my old computer than to upgrade my whole system from a 970 (10ish years old?!?)
So I still have nice graphics. GeForce Now also has a lot of games but I wish there were more.
Not sure how it happened but Nvidia CEO and AMD CEO are cousins. . However, he still made these direct statements. I would still take AMD.
Live in San Francisco and I am impressed with the Waymos. There's a lot of four way stops and lots of pedestrians. They honestly drive better than most people. There's a lot of times too where a car pulls up alongside another row of cars paralleled parked on the street and turns on their emergency lights to make a delivery or something. Waymos somehow check other side of the road and proceed around these cars going into the other side of the street safely.
Twisted Metal on Peacock. Its just fun and I am impressed with the characters and story they are able to build out of a battle royale game with cars and guns lmao
