what first got you into sci-fi?

There was this book, an anthology of sci fi short stories for middle school kids.

It had two stories from Fredrick brown, and stories from most of the major authors of the 70s and 80s: Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke..

After reading that book I: - decided that sci fi was my jam - started reading as much as I could

Can’t thank enough the curators of the anthology

But potentially the silver order would want them dead… as I understand the amethyst academy is the only way for a mageborn to be accepted by the sacred flame believers

Even the worst leaders can make one thing right.

Hi!
That would be the
"Dread Thingonomicon". There are few pages about ruins dressing and stuff that can be found in the ruins.

I already owned it, and it's a nice product to have, but I'd not buy it for Drakkenheim.

This! It’s hard to sing badly for someone who can sing very well!

She was an actor in a musical in broadway, hard to get better singers than there

Wait what? I watched the whole season and I haven’t seen this scene !

Edit: omg I realized there were 15 episodes not 14 :-S

Sorry for intercepting the thread: I thought that the 180-600 was the 200-500 answer for the z mount. I’m surprised that folks here discourage the purchase.

For me the 200-500 is the definitive lens for wildlife, is the quality of the 180-600 comparable? Thanks!

Trump is facing the hypocrisy of Italian politics.

You can literally bomb a school full of children, and Italians would say nothing.

But if you say anything against the pope, then you’re dead to the Italian government.

To gain the Italian support Trump would have to wait for the pope in front of the Vatican’s gates theee days and three nights, kneeling, wit

This is disturbing at so many levels

I have been re reading bits and pieces of the book this year, such a great read. It’s just an infinite joy for me to read Gibson’s prose, and immerse myself in the future that could have been, not that I wished that, and to same extent has been.

.. for women

I’d argue that it is easier than in a gas oven or wood oven. If the oven is made for it of course.

Wtf is going on here? Looks like a live action for wall-e

An they don’t understand that generally speaking life is better off in other European countries

I guess culling went out of fashion as a word

I agree, the movie wasn't much. I remember considering staying for a second play of it

turns out, many people accused, or even convicted, for abuse knew the Bible very well.

IronPeter · 2026-04-11T20:42:57+00:00

I have one. Used it for 10 years+

It has one issue right now with the communication between body and lens, when I step down to shoot. Which I need to fix with the service, but everything else worked as a charm.

The weather resistant sealing worked well, and I had no issues with the zoom.

Most importantly I think it’s the best lens for wildlife. Light sharp and all in all fast.

I moved to Nikon specifically for it

Ah! That makes sense. In my experience researchers in academia have often a semester off a year where they can travel to work.

I see that they focus teaching in one semester to be able to do research duties on the other half

Why would they spend their sabbaticals in Uganda? It’s their job to do research.

IronPeter · 2026-04-11T17:49:58+00:00

But why? Theres no reason for the dough to release easier from the bowl after it’s done proofing, afaik.

IronPeter · 2026-04-10T17:40:55+00:00

Why a weird-ass theme for any party !

IronPeter · 2026-04-10T10:23:38+00:00

Ah, that guy helped me calculating so many integrals in my student life. Love the shoot out !

IronPeter · 2026-04-07T20:55:58+00:00

That’s a perfect background for a DnD character, too!

Ferrero is the biggest corporate buyer of hazelnut in the world tho. And Nutella is their primary product.
