@MariusM That user doesn't seem to resolve. Are you sure that one exists?

@faticake Thanks, I'll add it to the list to check out.

@lydiaconwell To be honest, Agatha Christie never interested me in general. But I'm willing to give this one a try later because it's suggested and i liked the murder Thursday club, so eh why not... But yeah, lots of stuff to read so I'll see when i get around to it.

@lydiaconwell Kind of hard to not have heard of Agatha Christie, yeah. ;) Haven't read anything of hers either. Not yet anyway.

@rlamacraft Post offices? They still exist standalone? Here, the supermarkets and some other stores have taken over the role of post office tucked in a corner of their buildings.

@urusan Outch. ;)

@peterdrake No kidding. I found out I really don't like perfumed soap. I don't want be able to still smell it on my hands after an hour!

@AmpBenzScientist That's probably an hour and a half that the tech support didn't want to spend. ;)

@lydiaconwell Possibly. Miss Marple seems to be written from the 30s to the 70s, so a bit on the outdated side to my liking. But one of the Miss Marple novels (A Murder is Announced) is suggestion number three, so I might eventually get to it.

@eqyo Well, there's somewhat a consistency. But do you really sleep 10 hours a day on average?

@mc Lol, that looks hilariously stupid. But no, no superpowers please. I'm sick of superpowers. ;)

Since I enjoyed *the Thursday Murder Club* so much, I've checked if there are other books that could capture that general atmosphere as well; A bunch of old people solving a murder (or two, or more). You know, kinda a Murder She Wrote feel now that I think about it (and yes, I do like waching that series too). Turns out there are a bunch of suggestions that I could check out. The first one suggested is **The Marlow Murder Club** by *Robert Thorogood*, so that's the one I decided to read first. And I happen to just have finished it.

So we start off with a main character that's in her 70s (yay, one criterium fulfilled!). She's great at creating crypto puzzles for a newspaper and is pretty fit for her age. Fit enough for her to go for a swim in the river she lives next to. When she gets close to her neighbour's place, she hears him shouting and then a gunshot. Drat, she can't climb up on the neighbour's shore since she's an old woman after all! She has to swim back and then calls the police. Turns out her neighbour's shot dead! Dun dun dun, a murder mystery's born! (And that's the other criterium done!)

During her investigation (of course she's gonna investigate, can't leave anything fully to the cops nowadays!) she manages to rope in two more girls into her club. Sometimes they get in pretty darn tight situations, and if that's not enough, more murders happen during their snooping! I mean, during their investigating! It got more gripping in the second half as they took more risks where they really have to work together. I have to say that I already suspected 'whodunnit' when I was around three-fourths into the book, so at least the plot isn't that overly convoluted. :P

It was nice reading overall, a bit a change of pace here. Ok, ok, still about oldbies solving murders but they're *different* oldbies with *different* backgrounds (and while we're at it, also *different* murders), so still a change of pace! Just like with the Thursday Murder Club, this story is happening in the UK in the modern day and age where laptops and mobile phones exist. I like that, I appreciate that there are murder mysteries with a slight Murder She Wrote vibe but totally updated to the modern times. I would say this is another series (I read a sequel is upcoming) that I would like to continue reading.

Chrome's built in captioning isn't bad at all. Just don't run it while a Dutch video is playing. ;)

@PawelK You mean, screen size of 4,8" like the S3 has? Yeah I like 'em small too but Android 4.1 is terrible. The apps I run don't work on that anymore. :P It's why I had to replace my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, the size was great with 4,5".

I've got a Samsung Galaxy A3 now. Android 8 on it and it's already not running a few things (plus too little internal storage). I'm hopelessly trying to find an uptodate phone with a screen size of still below or around 5". I don't see the appeal of 6" or bigger, since I'd just grab a tablet instead.

@PawelK A what screen size?

Home sweet home. Was at a restaurant with all my deaf (ex-)coworkers. It was very nice, I hadn't seen a few of those faces in a too long time. We chatted a lot (in sign language, of course) and caught up on a lot of news and gossip. Feeling pretty satisfied now.

Oh, and the food was great too. ;)

@Pat Maybe you should draw a hint!

@lucifargundam Yup, that one. The behaviors of those people are so ridiculously exaggerated that it makes no sense anymore to me.

@sean @porkiie But Valve isn't the one setting the prices.. the publishers do that. ;)

@lucifargundam I've watched like 2 episodes of that one but can't really see the appeal. That boy is overexaggerating every thought of his as if an apocalypse is incoming. What about it is appealing to you?
