Sorry. Very late to the party here.
If you’re still up for helping, I have no idea really what you’ve said. What’s a minimum “format score”?

Wow! Thank you so much for this.
I saw your answer awhile ago but left it unread until I could read the links… then promptly forgot until now.
Fascinating stuff! Much appreciated!
ADHD is different for everyone so results will vary from person to person.
For me, it was a couple days before I had enough of a “base”
I didn’t know how much of an effect it was having on me until I stopped for a couple weeks. It was more my wife that noticed…
I have noticed that my hyper fixation on ruminating has disappeared almost entirely and my sleep is better.
I’m not better at staying on task necessarily, but I’m better at getting back on task, starting tasks, prioritizing tasks, etc.
Seconded. I didn’t know the life cycle of a router but I replaced my asus router with another asus router recently. Not because it stopped working but because we have so many devices for our iot and I wanted some vlan. The old one is being repurposed at someone else’s house
The problem is when people say “financial losses” about services. Canada Post goes everywhere and is a service in our country. Much like healthcare and education. No one says “education profits are at an all time low and our hospitals have losses in the billions” because they are public services. These are things that as taxpayers, we value and use to make us a society
Canada Post is not fucking FedEx or UPS and shouldn’t be held in the same regard as it.
(this is not saying that they couldn’t be more efficient though, to this I have no comment that isn’t likely uninformed).
I’d say the same. And he’s got so many good quotes, most (killin’ aside) relatable.
Logan Ninefingers (First Law) Amos Burton (Expanse) Wayne & Steris (Mistborn, Era 2)
I don’t think there’s another character I like more than these folks. Logan probably sits at the top though.
10/10 recommend. I’m 6/9 through the expanse and on 7/10 with Joe Abercrombie. (these are number of books, not ratings)
Joe’s books are great. After the first trilogy, it’s 3 stand-alone and a compilation of short stories. So if you don’t love his stuff (if you liked the expanse you will) you can be done after the First Law Trilogy
My lemmy username is directly related to the First Law Trilogy
Got to around 30 yrs old
I realized that I, on paper, really like non-fiction books. In practice, I really only like fantasy and space operas (different than sci-fi)
Every night before bed, I read 10 pages or a chapter. Whichever comes first. Can always read more, but not less.
So to answer,
Almost every night Fantasy / space opera Mid 30s, father I’ve added audiobooks to my commute The most important part (I think) is figuring out what you like, and then setting a small but achievable routine
Sorry. I was tired and wanted to get something out before it was too late.
But yeah, a lame attempt at a Sanderson reference
Honour and Cultivation said so
So many people ranted and raved about it.
I finished it, but I hate read it from about the ⅓ point until the end.
I don’t understand why anyone would like ita and I too loath it, with a passion.
There are no redeeming qualities, it was time I’ll never get back. The only positive thing is, combined with hate reading the 3 Body Problem trilogy around the same time, I came to the conclusion that just because I bought/was gifted a book, doesn’t mean it can’t be a DNF.
Crazy!
Mid 30s millennial here from the prairies.
When we moved out, the thermostat didn’t have Fahrenheit it only had Celsius. My parents could never understand what our house temperature was and it took me forever to figure it out because I grew up with Fahrenheit indoors, Celsius outdoors.
Ovens are only set to Fahrenheit, and we would always check the pool temperature in Fahrenheit
Even now, when my kids have a fever I measure it in Fahrenheit
To you last point, only for outdoor weather.
They can comfortably live in Fahrenheit for house temp, water temp, body temp and cooking temps.
I’m late to reply here, but I hope you’re reading instead of wallowing.
If I may,
Book 3 ties it all together nicely. If you enjoyed the trilogy, there are 3 stand-alone ones that follow.
Book 4 is good but sets up a lot of stuff
Book 5 is awesome because you get a lot of insight to the Northmen
Book 6 is great, no spoilers.
Not only that, but all those fragmented streaming services keep increasing prices.
You get more bang for you buck with services outside of peacock. Peacocks draw (at least for people I know) was old reruns of favourite shows. Even if you didn’t want a VPN and a sail, you can buy the DVDs or bluerays.
Disney +, Netflix, Prime for all their issues, create new content that people want.
I’ve been listening to the graphic audio versions of The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.
I just finished listening to Joe Abercrombie’s First Law Trilogy. The narrator was fantastic. Probably the best I’ve listened.
Check out the graphic audio versions!
Would silicone be a safe alternative?
I’m not disputing your claims, but I would like to read more on this. Your comment reads as though you’ve read up on this and as a Canadian, I’d love if you have some links or sources I could peruse.
You see, I’m approaching 37 and I’m realizing it’s time to really get into war histories or I need to go get a smoker soon.
