Great drive from Norris
“Before going into beta” is HIGHLY optimistic lol
Anyone got a good Illustrator replacement for SVG and vector creation?
Microwave Watt?? Converts cooking instructions to whatever your actual microwave is (mine’s a shitty 700w beast so I have to add about 50% cooking time to most things). http://www.microwavewatt.com/
Mass produced Knick knacks. Those useless ornaments that just seem to accumulate on bookshelves, fireplaces and cabinets.
I was wondering who else counted the words lol
Awesome to see Piastri get some success under his belt. I was worried the team orders would be to let Norris pass for 2nd.
I’ve always heard Wodehouse mentioned in the context of other authors like Pratchett and Adams.
What book would you recommend as a good starter?
It was definitely togs in Qld when I was growing up. Might be the old potato cake/scallop debate all over again.
I have to admit to giving up on the Fifth Season as well but I’m going to make another attempt soon!
110F = 43.33C if anyone else was wondering.
It’s World Teachers Day on Oct 27. Maybe shout them lunch and give them gift cards? As for the school itself, offer to upgrade a specific thing? Like their books or arts and crafts supplies?
Ah yes, I’ve just been through that Libby wait with all the Silo books! Hope it goes quickly for you. :)
From Australia:
Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. Two very different families leave the country for the bright lights of Perth
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton. A story about growing up in Brisbane on the rough side of town.
For the Term of his Natural Life by Marcus Clarke. Very readable novel about Australia’s convict history. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
Book 5 is my fave Malazan book! Once you have some time off after finishing the series, a re-read is so satisfying picking up all the clues you missed the first time around. Enjoy!
Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. It’s like stratified human civilisation / Roman Empire in Space. First book is very Hunger Games-y but the rest of the series is excellent.
2 dead :(
New Zealand Police. @nzpolice
The offender has moved through the building site and continued to discharge his firearm.
Upon reaching the upper levels of the building, the male has contained himself within the elevator shaft and our staff have attempted to engage with him.
Further shots were fired from the male and he was located deceased a short time later.
Cambrian explosion. Love that take!
I mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.
