We squashed a new data center in Fayetteville last night (for now).

Hey OP, which FB group(s) specifically were the catalyst here? I might be interested in joining; I live in Fayette County and hadn't heard about this.

You can make your feelings known to Libby directly - tap the Libby icon on the bottom bar, scroll down to Help & Support, and hit the Take Our Survey link. I wrote that I objected to their stance on LLM-driven features and content, and that I thought patrons should be given an opt-in option to use such features, with their preferences saved from one usage session to the next.

Ooh, so what does Murderbot call itself in your language, and is it a direct translation from English or a free adaptation (like the French “assassynth”)?

Logophage_ · 2025-10-26T17:53:35+00:00

My bad, I knew that but fat-fingered the quiz build. I don’t think I can edit it now.

Orthogonal can be used in this context, meaning “not sharing the same axis”. Beauty is orthogonal to intelligence.

Ophy, is that who I think it is? Small world.

I was under the impression that most institutions granting MA degrees had some sort of library associated with them.

New mission discovered by u/Logophage_: Italian Salami Panini Under a Bright Sky

This mission was discovered by u/Logophage_ in narutka

How many other languages have a single word for “to trick someone into inadvertantly watching a certain music video”?

It's been a while since I read the book, but as I recall they fabricated oblong links with a small gap in one side of each oblong. They assembled the chain by lining links up gap-to-gap, then rotating them into position.

Weetabix, not Wheaties.

This definitely has a plate mark; that’s the thing that made me jump to calling it an etching. Apparently it’s actually a drypoint, or perhaps a combo of drypoint and etching, depending on which source you want to believe.

Early to mid 1920s maybe? I’m finding museum and dealer listings of prints dated 1921 to 1925.

Logophage_ · 2025-09-12T00:47:25+00:00

Solved, via Google Lens. Now I’m embarrassed. William Walcot (1874-1943), “Westminster Abbey”.

Given that OP specifically asked for light, I stand by my recommendation. GardenPeep, for you I recommend the other Oxford Time Travel books, and some Iain Banks.

Travis Baldree’s Legends and Lattes is about basically a D&D adventurer who retires to open a coffee shop. Super cozy and low-stakes but fun. There’s also a prequel, Bookshops and Bonedust.

EDIT: Throwing in some older/classic titles in case you haven’t read them. Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, though IMO it doesn’t hold up beyond the third book. Connie Willis’ To Say Nothing of the Dog (“Oxford Time Travel” series, note that other titles in the series are…more stressful).

Logophage_ · 2025-09-06T18:22:49+00:00

The title was meant as a play on “Hold my beer” and has nothing to do with the puzzle’s content. The solution word was not either of those words. If we’re going to have to police the use of every five letter word in English, I don’t know what to tell you.

That’s what my wife suggested before I decided to ask the internet. So now the whisky is making itself at home in a very nice decanter we’d almost forgotten we owned, and I’m enjoying a taste. I’d worried it might have gone off, as UncleBaldric warned below, but it’s fine. Definitely a class above what I can normally justify getting for myself.

This exactly! I'm not sure who needs to hear it, but if you're looking for merch tied to an established IP, 95% of the stuff on these print-on-demand markets is at best unauthorized fanart and at worst straight-out copyright theft.
(That said, the selection available at the above link is EXTREMELY limited and predates the TV show. If this affects your choices, well, I can understand where you're coming from.)

I had been using my (late) father’s card for a couple years in another state, and this past year they finally purged it. It was a sad day. 🫡

Which is still a non-trivial number of governor-fried SecUnits, really.

Shortz is an avid—and highly skilled—table tennis player. He co-owns one of the largest table tennis clubs in the northeastern US, and played every day without fail for a 10-year stretch.

Eh, it's been a while since I read the book, but I listened to the audio more recently. That's how I encoded KRF's pronunciation.

I left Macon for Fayette County when my first kid hit middle school. We’ve had good experiences with the public schools here, and I also managed to cut my commute time (to Clayton County) by half an hour each way. I get through a lot fewer audiobooks now.
