Clearly the mods all vacation in Cincinnati.

In addition to the other comment, it currently has some pretty rough performance issues with big libraries.

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

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.)
