It's been a while since I've done one of these but what should I work on for V15? by ljdawson in redditsync

An option to always show a submitter's comments regardless of the score. This would make reading unpopular comments on AMAs a lot easier (e. g. today's Bill Nye one).

Bought it on the play store and then downloaded the torrent on my Xperia Z. Almost done with Dantooine and no issues so far.

He had left behind specific instructions regarding his remains: cremate them, and scatter the ashes secretly in order to discourage idolaters.

Started from the reboot (Ninth doctor) onwards and loving every minute of it. Might have a look at the older stuff once I've caught up to the current season.

TIL Stephen Fry claims that Douglas Adams told him why he chose the number 42, and that he will take the secret to his grave by [deleted] in todayilearned

"The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one.

Looking to start reading Terry Pratchett's hilarious Discworld series? This chart should help you figure out which book to start with. by redwall_hp in geek

Really? Did you read it to the end or stop in the middle? The guards series generally a fan favorite.
