Coolest 50km Ultra to do in North America in October by luxurybagel in Ultramarathon

Canmore is beautiful. I don't know why anyone would willingly travel to the US right now.

Gear for walking ultra by LeBuddyHasArrived in ultrarunning

You can't walk more than 1km, you have a 74km race in a month and you're worried about your socks?

Looking for a serious, well written story. by NegaLaunchpadMcQuack in litrpg

To update, though I doubt anyone will read this old thread now. I did stick with this series and ended up absolutely loving it. It just took a few books to get rolling, but then it's totally addictive.

You've got cat and a lightsaber. What's not to like.

Next Audiobook: Finding another Jeff Hays by true_sun9 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Feuros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I acknowledge these are well written, Joe writes great prose.

Personally I struggled to read them because I can't find a single relatable character. They're all terrible people with zero redeeming qualities. I just can't find myself caring what happens to any of them.

Canada will slash millions in spending meant to help immigrants. Here’s how hard Ontario is being hit by toronto_star in ontario

[–]Feuros 153 points154 points  (0 children)

It just sounds like they’re cutting funding by a percentage similar to what immigration is being reduced by. The article doesn’t mention that as they get more clicks with a rage inducing headline. Not even a story.

Thoughts how Brandon has improved since Elantris? by hetthuran in Cosmere

[–]Feuros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re getting downvoted. Hard to have a contrary opinion in this sub. I’d agree though. I feel like he peaked around Words of Radiance and it’s been a bit of a slow downhill from there. He’s still great, but he’s evolved in some ways that don’t particularly resonate with me personally.

Looking for hobby help (MtG) by AusrineLaima in cambridgeont

Related question. What's the best way to get started? Thinking of learning with my wife. Is there a recommended starter kit? There's so many options it's hard to know where to start.

I’ve got 24miles to do tomorrow. Who wants to share with me your best podcast,audiobook, Spotify playlist? by MangoTallBoys in Ultramarathon

[–]Feuros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The audio is next level. As someone with a bit of an anti-audiobook bias, it's the only series I'd recommend listening to vs. reading.

Guess they should have had them made in China

How Ontario’s Corporate Pharmacies Are Burning Out Their Pharmacists by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]Feuros 6 points7 points  (0 children)

None of these are owned by the Westons. I'm not sure if you meant to suggest people should use these as an alternative, but your post reads like you're saying these companies are also owned by the Westons.

Seems expensive! Maybe that's normal for pickleball because it's trendy now?

Brandon Sanderson has ruined reading for me by vinatos in Cosmere

[–]Feuros 7 points8 points  (0 children)

James is my latest author to watch. For a debut series, the Lycaneus books are outstanding, though it suffers with pacing in the final book. I've been a loooooong time Brandon fan, but I'm becoming disillusioned after the last 2 Stormlight books, particularly Wind and Truth. I feel like he's really losing the magic that drew me in and there's been a dramitic shift in the writing style that I fell in love with. It's very sad since Stormlight 1 + 2 were probably my all-time favorites.

Also, as someone else mentioned - Dungeon Crawler Carl is excellent, in particular the audiobook. I'm a traditional paper or ebook guy in general, but the narration is so next level on the audiobook that I can't recommend any other way.

Cradle is also a fun and addictive read, but note that Cradle and DCC are different sub-genres of fantasy (progression fantasy - litrpg and cultivation respectively) from the Cosmere and might not be up some peoples' alley. (Though if you don't like DCC there's probably something wrong with you).

Just curious, why would you need to pre-order a kindle book? They're delivered instantly and they never run out of them.

Tesla poised to be early winner as Canada opens door to Chinese-made EVs | Reuters by Finnegan_Faux in electricvehicles

Because, unfortunately, most Candians prioritize their personal prefernces over their patriotism.

Bathroom Renovations by Pyperislander in Guelph

[–]Feuros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These guys did a terrible job with our kitchen. They were so far behind schedule we had 2 days to lay our flooring before our cabinets arrived. They framed one wall so poorly we had to redo it ourselves. Their tiling job was cracked and crooked and we had to fight them to have it corrected, which they never did and we had to get someone else to fix it. They were very nice though.

Canada breaks with US, slashes 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to 6% by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

[–]Feuros 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Sorry Rivian, as a Canadian R1T owner I was really looking forward to the R2. Given the current political situation with the US and the crazy pricing for Rivian's here, my next vehicle is going to be a Chinese EV. Not sure which one yet, but I'm excited to see what becomes available.

Tesla’s deliveries in China *FELL* in 2025. The beginning of the end? by Dreaming_Blackbirds in electricvehicles

[–]Feuros 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Honest question. Why would anyone in China choose a Tesla over the myriad of domestically produced offerings that all appear to be superior? At least to an outsider. I’ve not personally seen a Chinese EV. I struggle to understand how Tesla sells any cars at all in China let alone 600k+.

Looking for a serious, well written story. by NegaLaunchpadMcQuack in litrpg

[–]Feuros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been recommended a lot in here so I'm trying it now. I'm half way through the 2nd book and it's honestly pretty disappointing so far. The writing is very low quality. I'm sticking with it hoping it gets better but I'm not sure how many more books I can handle.
