The Broken Empire trilogy. Also Red War trilogy, which is spin-off (though uses these themes a bit less)

It’s not only barring teeth, dogs also do a “submissive smile” in some cases, to show they are not a threat. Not seen much but when we got our second dog she was very insecure and “smiled” a lot. Definitely not for showing happines but I think I read our smiles have similar origins.

Deep down, I understand that movies like Matrix are old… but John Wick?!

I use a Steam Link, but that’s no longer available as hardware, only an app. I don’t have any experience with it but I read somewhere you can set up RaspberyPi to work in the same way.

Though I have to say - while it works wirelessly, for games it is better to have wired connection.

Man, I was already feeling ancient. You using “1900s” didn’t help much :D

Man rotary phones were the best! Such a joy to dial.

They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase “thick as a phone book” was used.

There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

There was also a number you could call to ask for phone numbers or other stuff. Basically a call in google.

No idea how it’s called but the one that goes like “maya hi,maya ho, maya ha, maya ha ha”

I hate that song with a burning passion of thousand suns.
