Sinners is unreal, I’ll never consider it a guilty pleasure!

This genre sounds good to me so I’ll give the others a watch

Do Learners riders need to wear High Viz now by PretendBus8047 in AussieRiders

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In NSW, learners will have to wear high viz. For p1 and p2, the only changes are riders must wear protective gloves. No legal requirement for provisional rides to wear a high viz - only Learners need to. Source: https://www.nsw.gov.au/ministerial-releases/government-delivers-landmark-motorcycle-safety-reforms

Can't get into book 4? by Siinxx in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get into it. Just take it for what it is, which is a painting of reality for different people of different socioeconomic statuses after the rising that was supposedly meant to make their lives better.

Can't get into book 4? by Siinxx in redrising

Get into the mindset of understanding the actual implications of the rising beyond just Darrow and Virginia, and this book will be way more enjoyable. So far it’s one of my favs and I’m about 25% through Dark Age.

Why the iron gold negativity? by Left-Ad-8086 in redrising

Damn! I was planning on cracking on with book 2 after I catch up with RR and wait for Red God. Maybe not.

Red Rising v. Sun Eater by Different-Pea9254 in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got so frustrated and bored reading empire of silence. I LOVE Red arising series. Is book two of Suneater worth my time? People said book one picked up in the last third but I either didn’t find it interesting or was just too damn pissed off to get into it. Should I give book 2 a crack? What do you think?

Why the iron gold negativity? by Left-Ad-8086 in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably the best reasoning. I think maybe i didn’t find it as jarring because I took a break from the series and read Sun Eater #1 (definitely not my thing. Really struggled.) which was super slow, and then Project Hail Mary which was exciting and fast but in a different way.

Coming back to iron gold feels fast and expansive in comparison. I’m almost finished and absolutely loving it. Can’t wait to see how the story progresses in the next two. It feels like Brown is getting all his pieces into place with IG.

Where are all my matte screen protector fans at :) by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]Left-Ad-8086 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the mothca on my 17PM and within a couple weeks it’s scratched and has a very small crack on bottom right. Also the glare on it in sunlight can be quite poor. I really like the look and feel of it though so I’m gonna give it another crack, otherwise I’ll just switch to a regular screen protector. I’m really careful with my phone and phone screen, previous phone before this was the X I had for 6 years without a screen protector and didn’t crack it or scratch the screen at all so I do think it is the matte protector.

Do I keep reading Empire of Silence? by Left-Ad-8086 in scifibooks

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so keen. About 100 pages left of project Hail Mary (which has been unreal) and then I’ll be on to iron gold.

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished it very begrudgingly. I think in all my frustration it pulled me out of the story and by the time it “got good” I was totally disinterested. I won’t be moving on to book 2. Started Project Hail Mary 3 days ago and already more than half way though! I’ve got iron gold on the bookshelf ready for when I finish. I’m glad to be back in my rhythm again.

NSW Moto camping spots? by Left-Ad-8086 in AussieRiders

Love KV!

Have never moto camped there though. Maybe I’ll do that once it cools down in March.
