Yeah. Perrin broods enough he should really have some trauma to back it up. XD

Anyways.. .. the series lags a little bit in the middle, as Jordan's health declines, and before Sanderson finished up. But overall, it's a really solid series, and worth the read.

Yeah. As a WoT fan, it was just painful to watch. so many things that made the books good were destroyed in the first season.

..anf, small pet peeve. ..the show characters in the past called him the dragon reborn. ..but, that was the past, and there was no reborn yet.

my partner and I took to calling him the dragon reborn reborn in the few times we watched the show together. XD

it's not the dislike, it's that you frame it as though your distaste were the truth, as opposed to framing it as an opinion.

Man, glad you're reading the series. the amazon series was.. ..pretty bad, in ways only book readers would know. ..but if it inspired you to read the books, good enough.

..and, New Spring after book 5.

Although, a windows update may nuke this, and require reinstalling bootloader/keys.

Congrats, you know how to dislike something and blame others for your dislike! You're on your way to True Narcissism! 💫

He followed legal advice from lawyers and removed some russians from being kernel maintainers to comply with sanctions.

I don't agree with unrealized gains taxes in general, but the instant they are used as collateral, or if value in any way is extracted from them (even loan value), they become realized gains, and should be taxed.

This. Well said.

Kent is reasonable, and sees Linus's need to keep order. I think he just pushes it sometimes, and doesn't understand how problematic that can be.

That said - he has resubmitted an amended version of the patch, that doesn't touch code outside of bcachefs, and is less than 1/3 the size.

This awful creature was, according to my partner, found under or black walnut tree, attached to or emerging from the neck of a very-recently killed bunny that the dog had (killed within the last ~15m). Any idea what it is? More pics available.

It's not smooth like a slug/leech, but has a textured surface. It looks like a grub, but what would a grub be doing attached to a bunny? It has an obvious mouth and anus. She described the mouth part as "hexagonal", which she saw open while it was alive, coming off of or out of the Bunny's neck (it was in or by by a wound it didn't necessarily inflict).

I think it's probably just congealed evil and should be thrown into a fire, along with everything it touched except the puppy, and that's how it's going to get me.

My opinion is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but what is this really?

Wokeness is not the issue with disco, et al. It's terrible writing, poor science even for soft sci fi, and too many cringey moments.

I get that some people love it. But the emotional resolution porn is, to me, just icky.
