Thank you!

I am not clear if this comment is a joke or serious.

If serious, what do you mean, and why is that? I am curious.

To be fair, it is a thorny issue.

I found the prose to be serviceable, the plotting/pacing to be quite good, and the characters of varied complexity. It’s a fun romp and a light read. The sibling comment about juvenile humor is accurate, you’ll have to tolerate a certain level of ongoing sexdoll/fart/gore jokes. It’s relatively benign.

The author does seem to think the interior of any living being is made of spaghetti though, based on his description of every injury sustained by any creature.

ymmv

And ginger.

Far be it from me to defend the imperial system- I love and daily work in metric, but you realize nearly all ancient measurement systems are created around commonplace physical measures (body parts, strides, etc.) and simple multiples thereof to make their use easy, yeah?

We’ve got a lot of tools at our disposal now to both standardize and make working with a decimal system a lot more doable than before.

The length really isn’t important, it’s about how you use it.

Fidelity means not cheating, itdoesnt have anything to do with partner count, and is not synonymous with monogomay. You can be in a poly relationship, and practice fidelity by not cheating on your poly partners.

I just bought a machine with an NVIDIA card which I am going to install Mint on. Do you have any advice?

(I had planned to get an AMD GPU, but was unable to for various reasons.)

I believe that have swapped the Steam Machine in for the Kaaba at Mecca- the Islam holy site. The Kaaba is already a big black cube, so it works well.

This may just be me, but I’ve read a handful of books by Iain M. Banks, and found them all to have uneven or odd pacing that can make it easy to get stuck. If you like the overall vibe it’s worth pushing through, and it’s not just you!

This is the way. It works great, I’ve been running it for years.

Now that is a high stakes strength check.

It’s interesting because they went to some effort to get there shadows right, and possibly the sail boat, but not match simple things like umbrella colors.

Not bad, but I’d be interested to hear the story behind the choices!

Before marriage? oh no you don’t!

Jorking it requires no ingredients (that I do not already possess) and is therefore free.

The refractory period is a hell of a thing

If you’d like to do this, consider instead an odd phrase that would not be guessable. Using a a string of generated symbols means that if a customer service representative ever asks for it, “it’s probably a long string of random characters” will work to bypass it. On the other hand, if the color of your first car is “Albert Einsteins mustache” the service rep will be confused but unlikely to accept the wrong answer.
