I found the question about which other genres I read very limiting. Only three responses allowed!

I’m not sure if I’m unusual, but left to my own devices I’d have picked at least five or six. As it is, I had to leave out some I really do regularly read (like ‘non-fiction’ and ‘literary fiction’).

That page was written by the man interviewed in the posted article!

It doesn’t really have anything to do with the arguments in the post I guess, but I thought I’d point out for anyone as confused as me: the ‘latest’ book OP is talking about, “Judgement at Proteus’, is thirteen years old, not some new instalment.

It’ll be amusing if Lawson does better in the Racing Bulls car than he did in the RB. Or if he does better in the Racing Bulls car than Tsunoda does in the Red Bull.

I don’t think it’s impossible that Perez was not slipping - the problem is instead that Red Bull actually has bad (or idiosyncratic) cars, and Verstappen is just so good he can still win in them.

1-month suspension - which is suspended

What does this mean?

We learn that Alok was born in the 20th century, and fought in the Eugenics Wars against the augments before being captured and made an augment himself. As per SNW, we know that the Eugenics Wars didn’t begin until the early 21st century.

This kinda got me - I assumed until now that the Augments were genetically engineered from conception, not ‘augmented’ afterwards. I wonder if there’s anything to support this elsewhere?

No elements can be replicated. Replicators rearrange existing atoms.

Do you still have to buy some tier of gamepass to be able to play multiplayer games that you own online?

There are tobacco sponsors? I thought that stopped decades ago?

He is so good at getting subtle facial expression through the prosthetic. Really remarkable.

Struggling to interpret what this means. While I’d love it to be true, I assume Aston Martin isn’t going to have nine times the performance of previous races.

"Jinos 3D Filament” is pretty cheap. I started using them during the pandemic when it was hard to find PETG. Seem to be a small place in North Carolina that manufactures mostly for their own use? Sometimes they take a couple of days to ship.

They sell mostly on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382556327412

[Edit: Just re-read that you’re looking for ABS/ASA - I don’t think Jinos does those, unfortunately]

 

Every day I wake up in the morning, get on the internet and feel increasingly like Batman trapped in an elaborate puzzle room by the Riddler.
