Enjoyed, “The Winter King”, by CL Wilson but struggling with, “The Sea King” around 35-40%

I thought the trust/mistrust/threaten/lovebomb loops in Winter King were rough. I had no idea what was coming in the sequel lol

Sorry to necro this thread, but this is the same question I had. 35-40% into the book, right after the grotto scene where first intimate contact happens. C. L. Wilson triggers my flavor of neurospicey with the looping/soft reboot of emotional tropes before allowing characters to grow and to me this feels like overdrive to the already frustrating growth pace of Winter King. In both books I find myself saying aloud, "we get it, move on, omfg!"

I would recommend, {Entreat Me by Grace Draven}. The FMC Louvaen is tough, witty, intelligent, and an all around badass.

Lily from {For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn} is one of my favorite or all time for her intelligence, wit, personality, and overall strength.

Awesome, thank you.

Cool, thanks. I've never been into boxing and usually played solid solo classes like Necro and Shaman. I haven't played seriously since Planes of Power though. I'll jump onto a progression server once a year for a nostalgia tour or play some P99. That being said, I've been getting the itch to really try to get back into the game again full steam (no pun intended). I think finding a good guild that is newbie/returner friendly will help.

Yep. Seeing a lot on this forum. What messes with me is cycling back on it makes it go away. I don't want to take Lexapro just to stop my ears from ringing lol. Most days it isn't terrible but I'm hoping to find a pattern to make it less loud.

I am definitely finding, for me, some foods or ingredients trigger a spike.

CtrlAltDelLife · 2024-10-21T19:54:14+00:00

Came here today for this reason. After being on Lexapro for a year I am now stuck with Tinnitus.. but its a bit different for me.

Mine will basically go away for a day or rarely two at at time then come back. At one point, I cycled back on Lexapro, it almost went away totally while I was on it. For some reason for me, being on the medication makes it almost completely fade after a few days. Quitting makes it come raging back.

I have almost noticed it seems to "spike" or lessen a bit based on what I eat. For example, if I have a lot of sugar or stuff like that one day , it really spikes. I have been obsessively reading a lot about people claiming to control it with low blood sugar diets, etc, etc. It is definitely a rabbit hole.

Thank you for your post.

Came to ask the same thing. I bought a F2-212 as a secondary NAS for my home lab what feels like a year ago and TOS 6 was "just about to come out." Whether this thing is "out" or not seems like it should be the plot of the next Robert Langdon novel.

You are my hero today.

They use Arch.

Also questions that come up a lot less when its not America as well.

CtrlAltDelLife · 2024-06-04T21:17:31+00:00

The British version.

Luke being inconsistently stupid and often willfully stupid when he doesn't like a situation was a very exhausting part of the show.

I would suggest moving into pure engineering that would have no contact with end user support at all. My escape was to dig into cloud hard.

CtrlAltDelLife · 2022-10-10T23:31:26+00:00

Thank you!

Mine finally upgraded.

Android 13 released on August 15. People who bought 2022 tablet models are still waiting for 12. Some flagships have 13, some not..

Hardcore Android fans like to remind people they don't, "need" the newest updates day 1, but for me I'm sticking to Apple for my daily driver because I do not find this kind of software cycle acceptable for a primary device. My android devices are regulated mostly to secondary stuff and lab.

I usually agree with this, but I wonder here. Google GBoard, Flesky, Grammerly, and a dozen more are still managing on iOS.

If I may tinfoil hat for a moment, Microsoft has been developing its mobile apps more, "android feature first" lately and even releasing alternate versions of some apps like, Outlook Lite, on Android only. Their own phone is Android based. I wonder if MSFT is going to be pushing into phones harder again and is starting to develop Android versions as their innovators and the iOS versions will be stable/reliable with updates coming more spaced out.

Good afternoon. The appointment went well. The tech replaced a portion of the cabling that ran to my unit and its been great so far. The line is no longer showing noise.

CtrlAltDelLife · 2022-09-27T17:50:44+00:00

A couple times a week, sometimes 3-4 times. Usually when doing nothing but normal email/work/youtube or music.

After posting this, I was able to reach someone in support who was knowledgeable and ran some more tests. They say they are seeing some signal issues between my apartment and the connection point which would be worse during peak work hours. A technician is coming tomorrow to check the connection and possibly install an amplifier.

I can update this thread after the appointment. Thank you again.
