But uh I recently watched this I guess it's like a it's like a mini-series documentary called The Dark Wizard about this guy Dean Potter who he was like Alex Honnold before Alex Honnold was Alex Honnold. And uh he just has this like very extreme personality where he's like free soloing everything and then he's like, you know, base jumping in in like a wingsuit and stuff like that and it's sort of exploring his psychology and what happened to him and um I I don't know. I I kind of like stuff like that.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
