Took a break in the series at The Wolves of Cala. Something about this particular book isn’t resonating with me. Maybe this western showdown vibe is dragging on too long, it’s almost off putting at this point. I want more of the sci fi elements and notes that the earlier books had.
Blitzed through the Thursday Murder Club series (all of the published ones so far) and really enjoyed them. There are some really touching moments of grief mixed with optimism and hope draped in a backdrop of ridiculousness and intrigue. The short chapters make it easy to digest.
Read The Gone World whose take on time travel was neat and used the mechanic to craft an intriguing world(s). The crime/detective angle kept me pretty interested, though the writing style was a bit odd for me. There were many uses of sentence fragments that didn’t flow naturally, more akin to bullet points shoehorned into paragraphs. There was also some background delivered via exposition/monologue that felt a tad lazy. I’ve heard that the ending is a sticking point for some but I didn’t find it difficult to follow and thought the execution was not bad.
Finally also got around to A Wizard of Earthsea which I adored. The internal growth and journey of the protagonist felt genuine. I absolutely loved that there is much left to the imagination on this one. Shed some light on how I perceive Rothfuss’ works.
My current book is A Gentleman in Moscow which is thus far well written and fairly entertaining though I’m not far enough to provide a more meaningful review.
The originals were fantastic. The 2018 version is sublime.
Honestly that EU cookie legislation does more harm than good.
Drop in the bucket compared to the cost of travel. Your point still stands though.
It went from interesting to frustrating to enraging that I wasted my time. I watched it all. I wish I could have that time back.
Incompatible with air mattress.
and never in public
Lol
It is likely many factors at once but it’s also important not to assume causation where there is a correlation. Keep in mind also our mechanism of detection is better now than it’s ever been.
Given the definition of fraud likely lies within Nintendo’s user agreements I’d tread lightly.
Edit: this was meant for op.
How did america elect this guy twice? So pathetic.
Critical thinking is an endangered practice.
One of my favorite things about visiting the Netherlands are the herring stalls :D
I prefer mine in a bun, but all forms are delicious.
It can be both. Some need to be told to shut up.
Meme creator is clearly blind.
I think I get the gist of what you’re saying but they’re very much not arbitrary. They’re a direct manifestation of a state’s ability to exert control.
Yep. I know the details. I’m tech savvy enough, but I use what my contacts use, and I’m not leaving WhatsApp. Same goes for youtube. The content I consume is there. There is no suitable alternative until the content creators switch. It’s not really about the technology at all.
Flameshot’s so good and multi platform to boot!
In high density urban settings this is absolutely true. 99% of my orders are delivered by bicycle.
