If you liked the first one you'll like them all! Murderbot was such a fun read all the way through.

Not "many people." Americans. Americans find it hard to read. I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain everyone else in the world agrees that either day/month/year or year/month/day is the best way to clearly indicate a date. You know, because big to small. America believes month/day/year for some stupid fucking reason.

What makes it unique?

It's awesome how well d4 runs on the deck. I love it, if you're into the game it's well worth jumping through the hoops.

I use it every day, so much so that my main gaming PC barely gets used. I'm a dad now and it has made gaming not just possible but easy to do.

I think many people have that pull to nature, but most that do it and survive recognize that living without the infrastructure of the rest of humanity is at least extremely challenging and so will thoroughly prepare.

What a terrible way to go. They sounded less prepared than even Chris McCandless.

I can't believe I'm recommending reality TV, but Alone is a fairly good representation of being alone in the wilderness with no resources. It is extremely unpleasant.

Buying new, sure, what you're saying makes sense. I think buying used for the form factor or whatever and not wanting windows is a fine choice, though.

I think it'll definitely be making a round trip out of the house, and if that's the case it's a no from me. There is no reason it can't do both - local streaming when local and remote streaming when remote, with all the restrictions/benefits of each.

We'll see. I probably won't buy one anyway, I'm fine with chiaki on my deck. Maybe if it's a flop and goes on mega sale.

They must have hired the guy we got rid of. Bummer, dude. Might have some luck at an IT recycler nearby. Contact them and tell them what you're looking for.

I agree.

Does anything work on the threads in the back or are they the same?

It is incredibly unlikely all the threads are screwed, despite my story.

If they truly are, you should be able to buy replacement rails. If you do, I'd say go square if you can and use rack studs for ease of install.
