It’s more or less about heist on the moon that goes predictably sideways in weird ways. I’ve noticed that his foreshadowing is a little too blunt though.

Pork shoulder and brisket on the smoker for family dinner tonight.

Most start with the throttle locked on and choke up, but that’s why they have a blade brake.

You can absolutely stand backwards in a group that’s all facing one way.

Ah man, I forgot to specify this is legends! My brother enjoyed the new trilogy, not as much as legends though.

The Thrawn trilogy was my first foray into the SW/Legends book universe, from there I’ve been reading all the legends books in chronological order. So this puts me around 70 or so. My brothers collected them all used and I’m borrowing them.

I’m currently reading book 8 of the Star Wars XWing series “Isards Revenge”. It takes place immediately after the Thrawn trilogy and brings back Isard who was supposed to have been dead. She took over the Emperors “role” after he was killed.

During the hiatus I read a few of the other XWing books and the entirety of the Remembrance of Earths Past (3body problem) by Cixin Liu. Wonderful read, and gave me a few new perspectives about the universe.

Im looking forward to The Captives War book 2 in a couple weeks! Same author(s) as The Expanse.

but technically you could be talk about a Canadian or…..

No… that would be a North American or Canadian. You already covered this yourself.

Give your head a shake and get lost. I’m not even going to ask how you think it’s harmful lmfao, trying to dilute an established word is harmful, which is what YOU are doing. Fucking hell dude.

The whole world uses that term, since the other countries are covered by other terms, or other encompassing terms like I explained already.

When someone says American, what country do you think they come from? You just said you know what North Americans are, so you wouldn’t include Canada or single out Canada there.

American has never meant an all encompassing term for north/central/south America, where the hell did you get this idea from?

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (14 children)

Why? You have North Americans and South Americans to cover the others?

What else would you need to include in the term Americans?

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah! That’s the one.

What show/cartoon, I want to say Futurama, had a bit where everyone in a suit of armor made a pinging sound when checking a dime out, but the gay person who said ding to not out themselves?

 

They’re all peppers and most look like they have their taproot coming out of the seed as well. Hopefully some aren’t too deep.

 

At least, that’s what I assumed happened. It’s a first edition copy from 1999 as well.

 

A few different mixes of sweet peppers, but I also started jalapeño , shishito, habanero and Hungarian wax as well.

One of the sweet peppers are purple as well.

 

Got some stems coming out of the nodes where the single bract usually is.

 

From what I’ve been able to gather, I think they just have the writer wrong, it’s Isaac Asimov, and the book those two did together is The Space Merchants, which doesn’t appear to have to do with crime at all.

 
 

I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

 

Finally got around to installing the AC and plumbing it, so now I can turn the lights on and start things off. Not entirely ready though.

Garbage can will be a water reservoir, that’s the next task.

 
 
 

Kid wants the basement bedroom, so gotta move my tents. This will be pretty tight for my 2 - 3’x3’ tents as it’s not actually 6’ due to the pony wall. I’m thinking of building a stand so I can fit them side by side and maybe still get a desk in too!

Just waiting for some paint to cure and I can start moving in.
