Unless I’ve miscounted, 99/141 of the legends books. The list is my brothers, so it’s the ones he’s read. I’ve gone from top to bottom.

Struggling my way through Star Wars Planet of Twilight. Kids are out of school so harder to find dedicated time to read, but I also didn’t enjoy her last book either. After his is Dungeon Crawler Carl book 4.

This author (Barbara Hambley) just seems to want to describe everything as much as possible, yet there’s nothing to base it on. Yeah sure you’re talking some trees, but what are they? The lore just seems so empty.

What? It’s recommended you don’t go more than 3-5 miles on your first few bike outings until you’re capable of going longer.

Those lengths you’re suggesting requires training like marathons.

People train to travel 50km by bike in a week, let alone a day or a single outing.

Maybe you’re thinking of ecycles and other non manual bikes?

You would have to be in incredible shape for that.

For the vast majority of people, a horse would be able to take them further than they could themselves on a bike.

Longer distances…? Why not walk and save the money than?

Is it controversial? Pineapple is a common ingredient in salsa here.

Politics in The Expanse and bureaucracy in the Captives War. Too bad it’s so short, only a trilogy.

I love the way they try to describe stuff given only having our perspective.

Not-turtles, night drinkers, nothing is what it seems. The Expanse is more space centric than The Captives War though.

Foundation and the broader universe by Isaac Asimov is a good one. Robots, foundations, and they empire series, as well as some stand alone stories all make one large story arc together.

Are you seriously taking the metaphor THAT specific? Yeesh.

Man I live in a city of almost 1.5 million and we have wildlife in the middle of our city.

Sounds like you’re the one with a backwards world view. Most places have wildlife, so of course I would assume that way.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You sure about that?

And another

Try living near wildlife? It’s a constant concern.

No you removed a chunk of it and changed the meaning.

The parenthesis I don’t care about, but you are changing the entire meaning by doing that as well.

So if you’re doing that a comment, no wonder you’re having issues comprehending the meaning of other stories.

Fucking yikes buddy.

 

The tomatoes and peppers aren’t going to like this at all. ~100mm of rain as well over a few days.

 

22 Tomato and 11 pepper plants, spacings a little tighter than it should be on some of the tomatoes, but it should be okay.

 
 
 
 

I’m planning on grabbing some more Asimov books and grab most of Martha’s MurderBot series, as well as Hugo and Nebula collections.

Any other sci-fi type stuff you guys recommend? I’m not a huge fan of the more fantasy stuff, although I agree Star Wars falls into that catagory.

 

Had my second carpal tunnel release surgery last week, so I couldn’t resecure the fan correctly with only one hand.

And now, the strong Cree Cob white lights are burnt out, so now I’m left with just the supplemental wavelengths and some smaller white LEDs. The Cree ones are a LITTLE strong for vegetable starters anyways. But these aren’t enough for this stage either now.

 

An assortment of pepper and tomatoe varieties.

 
 
 

Most lived, some died. They got a little too dried out over the weekend so the smaller ones shriveled. Just forgot about them, kid had a dance comp and then my mother passed. So I’m just glad most actually survived.

Still got another month atleast before hardening, that will give the peppers about 8 weeks, they’re 4 weeks now.

 

Tents a little full, I’m expecting not every transplant to take.

For tomatoes I have:

Gusto Halia

Jubilee

Cherry Roma

Beefsteak

Black Krim

Yellow pear shape

Green zebra

Rainbow blend 

Get stuffed 

For peppers:

Red bell

Fat and sassy

jalepeno (early)

Sweetie snack mix

Hungarian hot wax

Habanero

Mini bell mix

Early sunsation
