What tartanphantom said. However, if on a budget, could I get Marvel Unlimited on this:
Well that's pretty much a rip-off... you can't even play Android NIM on that machine, much less bask in the lovely glow of monochrome CRT electrons!

Make sure its the newer iPad generation. I had one that was 2012 and it refused to take updates. I was able to get a 2021 at Costco for 600. I swear by them. Again , I have NO complaint with the kindle fire except it doesn’t take MU.

It's snowing. It's also supposed to snow next Monday and Tuesday. I'm pretty over winter at this point.

Sit back and enjoy a plate of Idaho potato pancakes and wash it down with a nice dram of single malt scotch or single barrel bourbon.
By the time you get to track #3, Rubber Room, you'll be transported to another world and will forget all about the weather.

Yes, what about them comic books, eh? A recent discussion about Dredd has me thinking I should buy the first volume of Rogue Trooper at some point… I've tried getting into the other 2000AD titles, but nothing has really set my interest alight. Thought Aqulia was good though
I also kind of liked Mark Millar's run on Robo-Hunter, as sacrilegious as that might sound

I’m not sure if there have been any collected editions (in recent years), but have you read any Ace Trucking Co.?

I did like the revival of Flesh in the 90's by Pat Mills (a lot of what made 90's 2000AD interesting was how hard they were trying to see what would stick) and thought some of the Durham Red spin-off serials were fun
Oh! and how could I forget Finn, my favorite eco terrorist wican (just learned that they finally gave the old boy a proper tpb release, getting it as soon as I can)

I've enjoyed several non-Dredd series, from 2000 AD: Slaine, Rogue Trooper, Zenith, Ballad of Halo Jones....several more I have long meant to check out, but never seem to get around to it, like Nemesis the Warlock, Strontium Dog, ABC Warriors and some others. I have a digital collection of 2000 AD, from beginning to the 2010s; but still haven't done much reading in it. I read more features in the Titan Books collections that were imported to the US, thanks to a local comic shop that used to get an extensive selection of graphic novels and reprint books, including European stuff. I first saw the Simon Bisley Slaine, but the shop had the earlier volumes and also things like Halo Jones, as well as Titan's Modesty Blaise collections (and the Ken Pierce editions).

Any genealogy buffs here?
I did my DNA test awhile ago and I've been contacted by a surprise 1st cousin who is searching for their birth parents. At the moment I seem to be the only one in our family who knows about them, and based on the DNA and my genealogy research I also know who their parents are. And I think it's likely to be quite upsetting for a number of people. So I'm in a bit of a sticky spot due to decisions some of my family members made 60 years ago. 😐
I don't think the cat can be put back in the bag, though, now that the DNA tests are out there, so I'm just bracing for the mess.

I can't offer any advice in this situation as it looks no-win for you unless you feign total ignorance, and I'm sure it's probably already beyond that.
Just glad I'm not in your shoes in possessing that kind of knowledge. Best of luck Scott. Sounds like somebody's not gonna be happy either way.

Not quite a total 70s flashback as the art was on the back windows and not the side panels, but I drove by a van today sporting 2 different Frazetta Death Dealer pieces, one on each of the windows on the back doors of the van. Adding to the 70s vibe was the fact I was playing Parliament on the car stereo as I was driving after having just purchased 2 boxed Mego figures at the store.
