Sure. But the folks who put the knowledge in a digestible format should be rewarded for their efforts.
No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
It’s been a long while since I read it, but each book got a little bit more pretentious with the author shoe horning his own world view into the readers face. That was annoying, but even more so because I recall disagreeing with his view quite a bit.
Also, each book was essentially the same plot. Universe works to keep the two protagonists apart, a bunch of fucked up shit happens, and at the end of the books they’re back together having learned nothing.
But the real issue I had with the later works was the very real Mary Sue of the two protagonists. Those characters just could do everything. It got boring and stale after a couple books of it.
I still hold Sword of Truth to be a good book by itself. And I do recall liking the next two books at least. But as a whole, I do not think it’s good storytelling.
No hate, but you’re the first person I’ve heard say it was their favourite. I enjoyed the first few books, but dude went off the deep end in later books. Became damn near unreadable for me. And I think majority of readers have similar views. I doubt any attempt would survive the hate and t would receive.
If they cast the rock in a Big Trouble sequel, I’m becoming a terrorist. He will ruin any franchise with his ego.
It’s the Shocker.
Two in the pink, one in the stink.
Damn. I was only on season 4 of Stargate.
Still, the seas are wide and free. Yo ho ho my friends.

Hey he’s not exactly wrong. The company who can release humanoid automatons would very likely be the richest company in the world. Exponentially richer.
But I’ve seen what comes out of Tesla. I’m not betting that will be the company that does it.
Your reasoning is solid, but I’m not sure I’d trust someone who steals and bribes to honour their word.
Shit like this is why I always demand full payment up front. It’s just a shame I have no influence to garner bribes.
“Don’t get smart with me.”
“I’m beginning to doubt that’s even possible.”
Bonus points if you can say this to a cop.
I’d bargain down to a torpor state if death is right off the table. It might be interesting to be found floating in space by space faring sentients in the far future.
I’d estimate that 90%+ of us would be dead in a matter of months if not weeks.
Consider the significant lack of food available. Think about how much food the average person has in their house. Probably a week, maybe two. Perhaps a month if you’re wise and start rationing immediately. But most won’t. Most people would be in denial at the start and assume someone or something would rescue us.
Now consider how much food there is available at your local grocery store. And how many people that store could feed. Compare that to the population of the geographic area that store supports and you’ll see that for the most part we would be out of food in a matter of months.
Sure we could scavenge and perhaps hunt small game, but that’s limited and not something most people could do. But to get to a point where we’re actually able to do some level of substance farming, that could take up to a year to complete depending on the season society collapses. Before we get there most of us would have staved to death. Probably too many would die and there wouldn’t be enough labour to work the farms either.
And that’s just considering food. There’s still the issue of clean potable water, and infections or other health issues that turn deadly quickly without modern medical intervention.
And these issues are all compounded if you live in a high density urban environment. Which many do.
TLDR: if society collapses, it might be wise to just bow out before things get really bad.
Although you should be using an RFID blocking case to hold your cards.
As others say…. Multiple monitors for work. One big ultra wide for gaming.
My only “complaint” about ultra wide is that most gaming ui’s aren’t configured for them. Meaning that to look at the mini map in a game like Cyberpunk, you have to take your eyes off the centre of the screen. Then you will crash your car.
In penny’s please. I’ll let you pay for shipping. :)
I’ll take that bet.
How would you like to pay me?
Ya, I earned my bones playing Palladium games as my first TTRPG and I never recall “gay” being part of any madness (or insanity as it was actually called).
Disclaimer: I’m old. My memory might be shit.
Yup. I was willing to watch one or two short ads before I watch a video, but the mid rolls and unskippable 30+second ads just made me say “well that’s enough of that”. Now I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in a long time.
I don’t know the physics behind it, or if it’s even true (could just be a placebo effect), but if you scrunch the paper there is less streaking on the clean up.
