One of my compulsive habits is visiting local little free libraries and taking any #travel books or books about #history in the hopes of reading them one day and using them as inspiration for #ttrpg in c/[email protected]

@[email protected] Depends a bit on the neighborhood.

While romance novels predominate in all of the six or so little free libraries within easy bicycling distance, only two are filled with them entirely.

The very best (for my purposes) is the one next to our local city theater - it almost always has books on history, culture, or travel.

@[email protected] Hmmm. Hannover is my usual layover city when I travel by train to visit my father. Is the store you are referring to the one at the Limburgstraße 1?

If so, I might be able to check it out.

But the main tangible result is that I have run out of bookshelf space. Again. 😭

There's the "Creepy Amusement Park" vibe so beloved by horror movies, and then there's the "Creepy Amusement Park set in a Never-finished Nuclear Power Plant" vibe where I have ended up today. in c/[email protected]

One of the high points of my visit to the Harz Mountains was a visit to the Teufelsmauer ("Devil's Wall"), a massive sandstone ridge stretching east of Blankenburg, and parallel to the Harz mountains (fedia.io)
 

One of the high points of my visit to the Harz Mountains was a visit to the Teufelsmauer ("Devil's Wall"), a massive sandstone ridge stretching east of Blankenburg, and parallel to the Harz mountains themselves.

There was a footpath right on top of the ridge, which provided a spectacular view in both directions - although it required some climbing, and it was definitely nothing for people who are afraid of heights!

How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it? in c/[email protected]

@NABDad @Provider I dunno. I was on soc.culture.german, and I remember the Nazi Holocaust denier cross-posters.

Cross posting largely ruined the experience. When I discovered moderated web-based forums, I never looked back.
