Lots of great suggestions in the comments, but one I didn't see that I've REALLY been enjoying is the Infinity Series by Jeremy Robinson. As a fan of Science Fiction I absolutely love this series because each book is a sub-genre of SF. I'm currently on the 8th book (out of 13) and when I started this series I told myself that I was only going to read the first book, and would then decide if I wanted to continue. Then when I finished it, I picked up the second book and said that I was just going to read a few chapters and see how I like it. Now when I finish one there's no question what I'm reading next.

This year I've also enjoyed Dungeon Crawler Carl... though I'd put it more in the Fantasy realm than SciFi... but Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon by Matt Dinniman is a nice SciFi book that has a lot of the same feel as DCC as far as world building goes, but does lack on the character development.

This is the truth. The pandemic really messed up my house because we stopped cleaning when people stopped coming over, and now it is so bad that we still don't have people coming over. Add to that having a kid who doesn't want to ever get rid of any of her old toys, and 2 parents trying hard to not let depression win... I don't think we'll ever have a clean house again.

I would prefer there to be a law that severely punishes any company that has a data breach. Back in the early 2000s when the RIAA started suing people for sharing music online the courts in one case finally landed on a value of $9,250 per song shared as a reasonable fine. I think that might be a good number to start with when a company shares (purposefully or not) someone's data without that person's permission.

That would put Volkswagen's fine at $7.4 Billion, which I think should help convince companies that they should really only collect and store data that they absolutely need... and to make securing that data a top priority.

Isn’t this the same guy who “weekends were a mistake”?

No, that is Narayana Murthy, the billionaire founder of Infosys - a company that makes its money through indentured servitude by exploiting H1B visas.

"Read that again"

Fuck you, I wish I could unread it from the first time.

Biden: Grants clemency indiscriminately for 1,500 people indiscriminately Media: Why did you let the Cash for Kids woman free Biden: Commutes death sentences selectively Media: Who made you judge, jury and executioner?

FIFY... Real people honestly wouldn't care about any of this if the media wasn't trying to inspire outrage.

Commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on Federal Death Row. Anyone know who the unlucky 3 are, and any ideas why they didn't get their sentences commuted?

I'm unable to post a video through the app, and I've tried logging into the website to see if there's an update, but it just sits there when I click 'login' - no error.

Are there any known issues? (My app is version 1.0.0.9 and I'm on the latest version of Android).

EDIT: I wasn't using my email address to log into the website. Once in, I was able to download version 1.0.0.11 and it worked.

I know someone who became a licensed realtor so he could sell his own house and take/save the commission.

I don't want a new roof. I don't want a loan. I'd rather be doing something fun.

 

I went in and bumped up the graphics to 'High' and it is beautiful and plays great.

If you want it free from GOG you'll need to be sure you have it setup in Heroic Launcher.

 

I've heard that the reason Puerto Ricans can't vote is because Puerto Rico isn't a state and it is states that choose the president, not voters. But what about expats living abroad? Do they just get to pick which state gets their vote? If so, couldn't Puerto Ricans do that too?And what about people in DC? Where do their electoral college votes come from?

I'm sure I'm missing something here, I'm just not sure what.
