+1 for the Dark Tower books.
But I’d note, there’s a dramatic tonal shift between the first half and the last half.
After book 4, you lose the flashbacks to Roland’s youth and it’s a straight through narrative for books 5, 6 and 7.
I think the accident that almost killed him put the fear of god in him.
Hey, I’ve been doing this 30 years and just learned it today, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. :)
Or cheese.
Glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed figuring it out!
7·1 year agoI was wondering what had happened, seemed like things got super quiet. Flipped over to my lemmy.world account and it was back to normal.
15·1 year agoWe made treatment voluntary, addicts aren’t choosing it.
Too busy protesting pipelines that have nothing to do with Oregon is my guess…
Portland in general is a problem because people will protest anything and everything. They have no real value here.
Plus, NORMALLY in reporting like this, there would be a link to see if the readers vehicle is impacted. I don’t think Reuters even bothered.

Says it’s updated as of 9/26.
Is it wrong that my first reaction is “Sigh, when does the protest start?”
I could see vegan activists protesting the meat and cheese and homeless activists protesting the $35 entry fee and food waste in general.
The thing is, it’s not one off shoplifters. It’s organized gangs of shoplifters.
Police will run enforcement actions from time to time, but it needs to be continual.

3·1 year agoI was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.
Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.
$3,500 here.
5·1 year agoPretty much. Try getting a job without online access, or applying for state and federal benefits. Or getting a doctor through your insurance plan.
“I demand summary judgement!”
“GRANTED!”
“No… not like that…”
IIRC this is the case where his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial, so it’s all on the judge and he IS NOT having it…
Found liable for sexual assault and defamation in civil court isn’t quite the same as “convicted sex offender” in criminal court.
For example, he doesn’t (yet) have to join a sex offender registry.
2·1 year agoIt’s a little bit more than that, but we won’t know what until the trial on Monday.
Possible outcomes:
Trump org is dissolved.
Assets are seized.
Trump, Jr., and Eric are banned from ever being corporate officers in NY.
5 year ban on obtaining loans.
Sounds like someone wasn’t able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…
Security is told explicitly not to engage because Target is afraid of lawsuits.
Did they really “fall” for it though? Or did they just spread it because it fit their agenda?
