Haven’t tried them yet, so I gotta put ‘em on the list! Thanks for the recommendation.

Maybe I’m just not that online, but I think people believe all sorts of dumb things anyway. I think that for people that can be reasonable at all, which isn’t everyone, indifference is a harsher condemnation of dumb ideas than trying to hide them. I sought out the comments in question only after hearing they were banned.

I think this will just strengthen the hardcase conspiracists, and whatever platforms choose to continue to have him. I'm not sure that this really accomplishes anything, and may even be counter-productive.

I'm in the middle of yet another reread of Glen Cook's Black Company series, just finished the 2nd one. Decided to take a break from the series with something I don't normally read - mysteries. Reading Agatha Christie's first Poirot novel and having a great time.

I loved it! Haven't seen many people talk about it outside of whatever initial recommendation list I had heard it from. I really enjoyed the mix of hard sci-fi and socio-political commentary. Really reminiscent of Heinlein's best in that aspect, from what I recall.

I definitely recommend reading the whole series. Agreed that some passages are slow or just obscure due to the style, but I found it quite enriching. I think this is one of these where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, though.

Catching game yourself is a weird way to save on catering costs.

Maybe that's just the kind of dad Max responds to. We don't hear all the radio messages where GP threatens to leave him at a gas station

Yeah, absolutely. I'm remembering a wet race last year where he went all but one lap on the same tires. Makes me root for him.
