I’d say the same. And he’s got so many good quotes, most (killin’ aside) relatable.

Logan Ninefingers (First Law) Amos Burton (Expanse) Wayne & Steris (Mistborn, Era 2)

I don’t think there’s another character I like more than these folks. Logan probably sits at the top though.

10/10 recommend. I’m 6/9 through the expanse and on 7/10 with Joe Abercrombie. (these are number of books, not ratings)

Joe’s books are great. After the first trilogy, it’s 3 stand-alone and a compilation of short stories. So if you don’t love his stuff (if you liked the expanse you will) you can be done after the First Law Trilogy

My lemmy username is directly related to the First Law Trilogy

I realized that I, on paper, really like non-fiction books. In practice, I really only like fantasy and space operas (different than sci-fi)

Every night before bed, I read 10 pages or a chapter. Whichever comes first. Can always read more, but not less.

So to answer,

Almost every night Fantasy / space opera Mid 30s, father I’ve added audiobooks to my commute The most important part (I think) is figuring out what you like, and then setting a small but achievable routine

Sorry. I was tired and wanted to get something out before it was too late.

But yeah, a lame attempt at a Sanderson reference

Honour and Cultivation said so

So many people ranted and raved about it.

I finished it, but I hate read it from about the ⅓ point until the end.

I don’t understand why anyone would like ita and I too loath it, with a passion.

There are no redeeming qualities, it was time I’ll never get back. The only positive thing is, combined with hate reading the 3 Body Problem trilogy around the same time, I came to the conclusion that just because I bought/was gifted a book, doesn’t mean it can’t be a DNF.

Crazy!

Mid 30s millennial here from the prairies.

When we moved out, the thermostat didn’t have Fahrenheit it only had Celsius. My parents could never understand what our house temperature was and it took me forever to figure it out because I grew up with Fahrenheit indoors, Celsius outdoors.

Ovens are only set to Fahrenheit, and we would always check the pool temperature in Fahrenheit

Even now, when my kids have a fever I measure it in Fahrenheit

To you last point, only for outdoor weather.

They can comfortably live in Fahrenheit for house temp, water temp, body temp and cooking temps.

I’ve been listening to the graphic audio versions of The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.

I just finished listening to Joe Abercrombie’s First Law Trilogy. The narrator was fantastic. Probably the best I’ve listened.

Check out the graphic audio versions!

Would silicone be a safe alternative?

In 2011 SK started a tax for a reunification fund in the event that they absorb a bunch of NK refugees at some point.

Step 1: butter the toast or English muffin Step 2: apply peanut butter Step 3: bliss. Stop yourself from eating the whole loaf

This just happened to me today. I was talking with a colleague and recalled that they had just gone on a short trip with their partner. First time away from the kids.

I asked how it was, I was a couple weeks overdue but they excitedly told me about it. It felt good to ask, did it change my day? Not really that much.

But this person was excited to share (a few weeks ago) their excitement and anticipation with me. So when I asked how it went, they got a chance to relive it and share with me the results.

All in all, they cared enough to share, I cared enough to ask and at the end of it, I felt good. I got to share in their excitement and make a person feel heard and valued AND they got to relive the excitement again.

As a Canadian, same. And so much more.

Then you get people who spell with Canadian and American spelling and you wonder if you’ve been spelling things wrong or if once again, American culture is slipping in.

This might be my ignorance, but the Ubiquiti stuff I’m finding seems to be all commercial. I ended up getting a good price on the Flint 2 and it should be here next Friday. I’m hoping to chunk out some time setting it up on the 20th

Thank you for your detailed responses. Has adguard any track record of collecting data? Is there a way to know?

I’ll check it out - thanks!

I’ll check out mikrotik - thanks!

I don’t really understand the rest of what you said haha
