@… Have you seen this about a monitor you can buy with VGA, BNC, and AV inputs with a serviceable 1280x1024 resolution? https://eigenmagic.net/@vampiress/11546174204534…

Ich bin echt kein Freund von Eierlikör, aber der fortschrittsfeindliche Angriff des alten weißen Herr vanporten auf das Start-Up #LikörOhneEi macht Lust auf Ausprobieren.
Auch wieder so eine typisch deutsche Innovationsstory. Superreicher Typ investiert null in eigenen Fortschritt und ganz viel Geld in die Bekämpfung von Fortschritt der anderen.

Been reading some of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic-books, set after the TV shows ended.
It's a very different world with Buffy and Xander being commanders of a whole slayer army with seemingly massive resources, from a castle being attacked by various supernatural forces.
Very different pacing from the TV show too.
You know that episode of Angel where Spike and Angel are running around in Italy chasing after Buffy who now dates The Immortal?
Turns out it wasn't Buffy at all, but one of her decoys that have been deployed around the world. Andrew thought it would be funny to troll the two vampires by pretending she was dating The Immortal.
The artwork is all great, but sometimes a little rough and I find it challenging since I don't always recognize who is supposed to be who, especially as the artists and styles switch from book to book.
Some of the mini stories feel like just pulling the TV show characters back for no good reason.
I hear rumors of a new Buffy TV show starring SMG with no involvement from Joss, and wonder if it'll assume these stories of visiting the future or fighting with an army from a castle base will be retconned out entirely?
It's an entertaining read and nice to visit those characters again, but doesn't feel much like the TV show because it's such a different setting and Buffy is very different as a commander than a school girl.

Got to the end of it all. Cried a few times, laughed a few times, enjoyed it all.
Angel is at it worst in Season Four and possibly it's best in Season Five when they've all mystically forgotten about Season Four and turned more ambiguously evil.
Strange to bring Spike back for that season of Angel after he died so gloriously at the end of Buffy. That could be what made the fifth year the best one though.
Doubt it's possible to watch those 250 episodes much quicker without being actually unemployed. Fitted the broken-wrist convalescence period quite nicely though.
So long Buffy. See you again next decade maybe. Got a real life to get back to.
Might read some of the comics though.
