It's been years since I've read either author. For Hemingway, I prefered The Old Man and the Sea over For Whom the Bell Tolls. And for Twain, I liked Adventures of Huckleberry Finn more than The Adventrues of Tom Sawyer. What else do you recommend? Maybe The Sun Also Rises or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court?

Theres a poster here that insists Steinbeck is the greatest American author of all time. He’s not even the greatest author of his era.
Steinbeck is the greatest American author. Who’s better? I'm not looking to argue. If someone is better, I want to read them. Name an author and a book, and I'll read it.

Agreed, my comp is fine but can't upgrade to 11? Makes no sense.
It make sense. Windows 11 uses a hardware-backed security model. Your computer doesn't have the required hardware, or it isn't enabled. Therefore, it cannot run Windows 11.

I have it. It still has a wake word. It's a modern AI with a selection of natural sounding voices. It listens for a bit after it's initial response, so you can have a conversation with it.

The shortcomings of how poorly it handles accessing resources on the physical box really suck.
The desktop edition of Hyper-V is a stripped-down version. To get full hardware passthrough support, you need the server edition of Hyper-V. Also, you could have created a floppy disk image in Windows 10 and mount it in your Windows XP VM.
I’m going to miss the Southwest Classic. A&M is Arkansas’s most-played SEC rival, and Arkansas is A&M’s second most-played. We kept the rivalry alive through expansions and realignments, only for this latest one to kill it.

Arkansas should have been Texas, A & M and Ole Miss.
Yup, goodbye Southwest Classic. A&M is Arkansas’s most-played SEC rival, and Arkansas is A&M’s second most-played. That was a natural matchup, and the SEC just threw it away.
How do they go from

They are now using the term 'annual opponent' instead of 'permanent rival.' These opponents will be reviewed every four years. This suggests we'll be 'stuck' with opponents who are not rivals, but hopefully for a limited duration of no more than four years.

The Grapes of Wrath and The Road are both fantastic. For Whom the Bell Tolls wasn't great.

Everyone and their mother has said for 3 years that Texas was going to have Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Arkansas as our 3 perm rivals.. Literally everyone.
You just proved my point. The assumption that it is already settled that Texas will automatically get OU, A&M, and Arkansas is exactly the arrogance I am talking about.
Everybody in this new SEC is sacrificing historic rivalries. Texas is not entitled to keep all of theirs intact while others give theirs up. That is the double standard people are pushing back against.
Pointing that out is not me getting my panties in a wad. It is simply recognizing that Texas does not get to dictate how the entire league sets its rivalries.
