So a Screenwriter - selling a course on adapting novels into screenplays - titled his Linked-In article post

"Why is the film always better than the book?"

Aaaaaand I know it's 'I wanna sell you something clickbait'.. but no.

This is demonstrably not true.

What examples immediately spring to mind for you ?

@Faintdreams I know two films that are as good as the book, though (or perhaps even because) very different from it (Matilda and Howl's Moving Castle). All other films-from-a-book I've seen, the book was better.

@Faintdreams I think I saw Fight Club once. Never read the book, or have knowledge of either kind of American Psycho.

I will never be a real gamer (backlit keyboards and LED fans make my head hurt)

@duckbunny in that case I'll never be a real gamer either! (also I hate loud noises and time pressure and competition, so there's that)

@duckbunny (I don't mean that I don't like people competing with me, I don't like competition in general, I'm not at all a competitive person)

@Faintdreams @duckbunny yes I know! duckbunny and I have known each other forever, I know I can say it to them :-)

Can you post cute otters or something cute in general, I’m not feeling so silly today

@gavi Have a small human meeting a small donkey.

A human toddler is walking at their parent's hand. A baby donkey domes running up and the two investigate each other while the human parent and the donkey parent facilitate that.

Thinking about the 1900's coin.

Don't think anything else I currently own - aside from perhaps books (if kept correctly) - can feasibly last 120+ years into the future.

This is a sobering thought.

Do you own anything that you think will will still be functional in 120 years? *

@Faintdreams Most of our furniture, cutlery and kitchenware probably will. (Some of it is 120 years old already, it can go another lap.) And art, though I don't know if "functional" is a good term for that.

  • Looks out window at: three bus stops, 2-5 pubs, a row of restaurants, and a busy shopping street at ground level *

Reader, those things were all there before I moved here. They're a big chunk of the reason WHY I moved here. 17 years ago …

irina,
@irina@wandering.shop avatar

@cstross We live in the centre of a provincial town. It's so nice to have everything in really short walking distance. (Well, the restaurant across the street is annoying, but that's because the boss is an asshole, not because it's a restaurant)

irina,
@irina@wandering.shop avatar

@cstross Furthest away is public transport: 8 minutes to the nearest bus stop, 12 minutes to the railway station.

irina,
@irina@wandering.shop avatar

@cstross For me airports aren't essential (I stopped flying years ago) but the nearest one (Schiphol) is less than two hours away by train.

People who know how printing from Okular (or other PDF programs, probably) works, help please? I have an 8-page A4 document that I want to print as an A5 brochure, double-sided, with all the pages in the right order (so I'll have a landscape A4 with page 8 and 1 side to side, and 2 and 7 verso; and another sheet with 6/3 and 3/4) Is there any way to achieve that short of putting it in a LibreOffice document as screenshots, because I do know how to print brochures in LibreOffice?

irina,
@irina@wandering.shop avatar

Yay! Scribus can open PDFs and preserved all my notes and layout!

... Boo, I have far too little experience with that. Can't even tell it that A5 exists.

"The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars)." --Er, we don't know that. All we know is that they are the only spacecraft made on Earth to ever fly in interstellar space.

Hey writer, if your teenage protagonist is supposed to be a math genius, don't let him say "day 4,583, seven months into the twelfth year of my mundane existence". It's his thirteenth year; he's twelve and a half.
