What a handsome fellow. Incredibly sorry for such a loss. I hope you are doing alright

You seem to completely disregard the fact that freeing up "a few units here and there" will have a material impact that lessens the need for immediate building of more houses in already overpopulated areas. I'm not saying, by any stretch, that we shouldn't build but obfuscating the issue with another does not help. The short term rental market is an issue for a lot of people.
Yasssss big sensor
Agreed. It's just such a bummer. All of the big sensor phones operate it like a gimmick and you get a camera with a tacked on phone. What would be beneficial is a good phone with a big sensor. I think the images would slowly change the minds of general consumers
I've not long started book two of 'The Passage' trilogy by Justin Cronin.
At some point, I hope manufacturers start giving us bigger sensors, rather than insisting on raising the MP of the sensor. I love the modern era where most smartphones are offering great point and shoot photos, but the bigger sensors are really the best way to innovate in that area
That's right! You've made an excellent decision. I sound like a PR person for Lev Grossman at this point but those books are absolutely fantastic.
Another one to check out that is slightly more adult oriented are the Bloodsworn books by John Gwynn. Sadly, his daughter passed away so he hasn't yet spoken of the release date but of the third book yet, though the name was released recently so I believe it is being worked on. It's too be titled 'Fury of the Gods'. From what I can tell, that couldn't have happened to a nicer guy so it's truly heartbreaking, but his literature is fantastic.
Second the Hyperion books, though they are a fair slog, but well worth it!!
I see a lot of recommendations for the deadly education series but I did not enjoy it at all. I finished the first book out of pure sunk cost, but I really did not like the book or the narration.
If you're looking for less YA, you could try my favourite book series, The Magicians.
We've got our garden back. Our retaining wall collapsed in February and we didn't want to pay a contractor to do it so we decided to do it ourselves. We made a 15m³ gabion wall filled with found materials. We had to pay for laying of our new porcelain slabs but, as of this morning, there is only a slight tidy up left! Such a weight off. Now we can finally enjoy it... Going in to winter... a win anyway!
Whilst it's sad that we need such efforts, the fact that these conservation groups are able to collaborate in such a way is testament to their skill and ability, in light of what they are tackling. They should feel so fantastic about this. Hopefully we can see rhinos and other protected species thrive over the next decade or so
This is a real bummer. I saw these guys on The Fully Charged Show a couple of years back and their first car looked incredibly promising. But the auto industry is not easy to break and investors know that. Hopefully the solar roofs will prove profitable enough for them to try again.
