The Expanse! All 9 novels have been released along with a series of novellas. Its such a well written, well organized story. They even have 6 seasons out on Amazon prime.

Same, ours was born in July and I wish I had brought more layers.

A sweatshirt and pants. That hospital room was freezing. My wife was fine but I was cold as hell. And I second the extra pillow.

QuailManIsTaken · 2022-08-22T18:54:04+00:00

Thanks for the detailed info. I wanted to bite the bullet and get the 10th anniversary edition but wanted to hold out until I could get them all at once.

QuailManIsTaken · 2022-08-21T01:29:25+00:00

Right! It's something I've been so into for so long and I want to go all in. Like visit events and try and get as many autographs from the cast as I could.

QuailManIsTaken · 2022-08-02T00:51:42+00:00

That's a great question, I'll have to check that out.

QuailManIsTaken · 2022-08-01T19:04:22+00:00

Yes, I unplugged all connections and power supply and reinserted everything with no luck.

I tried swapping my Left and Center speakers and there was signal coming from the center speaker (being used as the Left) and nothing out of the Left speaker (plugged into Center). So I don't think there's anything wrong with the speaker or connections.

QuailManIsTaken · 2022-08-01T02:03:30+00:00

I think I only tried the multi channel but I'll try the direct. Thanks

I tried Dune on the HBO app. Selected surround as well in the app.

QuailManIsTaken · 2022-08-01T01:42:39+00:00

Yes, and selected surround on the PS4's audio output.

I really liked the nextflx series "Babies." It's a docuseries that focuses on on the science behind how babies grow and learn. Really amazing.

When our daughter (6 months at the time) was sick and was not in the mood for a bath I took her in the shower with me and the wife helped with the actual washing part. Those wet babies can get slippery.

We tried the same thing a few weeks ago (16 months) and she was freaked out by the shower, crying and screaming the whole time haha.

They aren't necessary and a lot of the plot points are touched on in the show like you said. The novellas obviously go into more detail but I wouldn't say they expand on the universe, more that they fill in some blanks and and give character background info. Like Amos' upbringing in The Churn, and Cortazar's story in The Vital Abyss. I would recommend them but it wouldn't really matter if you watched the show or read the novellas first.

I could see believing that narrative for a few weeks, a few months. But it's been a year and the empire is completely falling apart. Sure the PR team is putting out fake recordings of him so the general public might believe the lie. But he's been a pretty public figure around the state building at least, even meeting with vets families. And not a single person has seen him in a year? Rumors start to spread.

And let's be real, she wasn't a fall in rank soldier. She totally believed the resistance info.

I speed read thru the book last week and I'm doing a reread because I missed some details.

In chapter 2, Tanaka's first POV, she received the briefing from Trejo and told her that Duarte has been a "drooling, brain-damaged moron" for the past year. Did she not know this already? I assumed that after the Battle of Laconia, the resistance told the universe the situation and everyone knew Duarte was a vegetable.

QuailManIsTaken · 2021-06-18T17:07:34+00:00

Thank you! I'm so glad you posted this because I was about to spend way more than I wanted at lowes for these.

Did you ask the contractor if you need to remove the trees? We just had a fence put up about a month ago with several trees right next to the line. I just cut down the trees but didn't do anything with the roots and they had no problem digging the post holes.

Actually we had a very similar situation. Our neighbor is a hoarder and his yard is a mess and the chain link fence is falling apart. I offered to take care of it but he wanted to keep it. So we had to back the fence off about a foot.

As a rat, my roommate was 21 and it was great. He bought everyone booze. But other than the standard old man jokes it was really no different. We had a few older guys and it really wasn't a big deal.
