It's a book written in the 1960s that was one of my favorites as a kid. It's been adapted into a couple of films, the most recent being in the early 90s. Essentially the story of two dogs and a cat that can talk to each other traversing the Canadian wilderness to find their humans.

edit: I got to wondering about the exact dates, so here's some links in case anyone is interested:

1961 book, The Incredible Journey

1963 film, The Incredible Journey

1993 film, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

I can't tell if this is a reference to The Incredible Journey or if you haven't read/seen it.

This is it for me. I like that a multiplayer world is something dynamic I'm a part of even when I'm not interacting with it directly.

As someone who recently switched to days after more than 15 years on night shift, if my new position wasn't exponentially better in every way I'd go back to nights in a heartbeat.

I haven't seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.

It isn't just affecting education, unfortunately. There's a number of topics (e.g. human rights, equality, etc) that society has become more enlightened about and that they'd like to revert.

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have gone looking for it and it was definitely worth watching.

If you're here to tell me energy drink body spray is a bad idea, I've heard it before, from a bank and some doctors.

This is what it sounds like to me, and Sim Ant is the game I had in mind opening this post. It was a good one.

I'm not any defender of corporations, by any means, but I'm not sure that I'm willing to take the word of a "close family friend" who "needed help one day" any more than some corporate HR; and "I don't care what they say, I know that Mitch didn't do that" isn't exactly a solid argument to be basing things on.

Edit: I seem to have missed this on my first read:

Jennifer said she thinks somebody "didn't like what he had to say" and wanted to "shut him up" without it coming back to anyone"..."That's why they made it look like a suicide,"

I'm never surprised to hear something bad about Boeing, but this is just a woman convinced with, on the face of it, no other proof than what's in her own head. Unless she's got a recording or document, the article's title could have been, "Family friend tells reporter a story"
