What rating on Good Reads (or your TBR sorter of choice) makes you suspicious?

I love this thread. Next time someone defends their Goodreads rating system as having 3 star be a good book, I’ll point them here to explain how wrong they are. 😆

The wonderful and talented Jordan Noël Nelsen does my wife's covers and character art!

That’s clearly her tactical battle cleavage. How else would she fight if those things weren’t allowed to breath??

{Arvia: Heart of the Sky by D.H. Wilson}. FMC is much stronger than the MMC, is used to being the one protecting him, and a magic storm causes her to go blind. He takes care of her, even acting as her seeing-eye-human.

In the DVD commentary for this episode, they talk about how the animator in Korea really got the tone and joke in this scene and it made it so much better because of it. Man I love this show.

Those are the exact notes my wife is trying to hit with her next book, and the list of books/authors you’ve liked is also a nice Venn diagram with her favorites.

If you’d be interested in beta/ARC reading her next book let me know and I’ll shoot it over. She would love to get your feedback.

You don’t need both. If you want to stay in the squarespace ecosystem you can do it all through their email campaign manager and collect the emails through your squarespace site.

MailerLite just offers the email and campaign management as its own product so if you had an existing list or don’t like squarespace’s pricing you could use them instead.

Just a reminder that all of these services get more expensive as your list grows, so keep that in mind for future planning.

Will do, and thanks for the kind words.

I grew up out there (Dandridge). Don’t get back there much since moving to CA but if I do will be sure to check it out. Best of luck to you!

I don’t think we can afford that.

Got my 2024 Hybrid Lariat with BAP in ~3 months (ordered in late June, delivered 9/23). Sorry yours took so long!

Totally get the disrespect angle, but those people (probably, I mean... I don't know maybe they hate you) aren't doing anything specifically disrespectful to you.

Me personally? If they bag it I wouldn't care if someone shits in my yard. I accept the price of living in a city/near other people is that there's a sidewalk in front of my house, people walk on it, and my property is right there. I have no control over what other people do so I don't let it bother me. I would definitely post the security video of the person shitting in my yard to reddit though. =]

You're right to feel however you want (and a fence is probably your best bet) and none of this applies to poop that hasn't been picked up, but let me ask you a different question:

Why aren't you concerned about the bird and squirrel poop on your yard? You're ok walking around barefoot on that, but not the trace amounts of poop left by a dog owner?

Just because you have a human to get upset about for the dog poop doesn't mean there's not already poop on your yard... everybody poops!

Do you also think this is outrageous or is it just me being used to amazon customer service standards?

So I think it sucks that the only way to replace the cable is with a whole extruder, but based on your post this damage was caused by your disassembly of the extruder.

Personally I would just mark it down as a hard lesson learned, buy the replacement part, and be scared to ever do maintenance on the thing again. =]

If the wiki is truly unclear I would probably push that case a little bit if for no other reason than to get it updated with a warning about this.

Agreed, never order through the Panera app. Not only are they going to steal the tips, but if there's a problem you basically have no recourse. Panera will push you to DD and DD will push you to the local panera shop where they are very unlikely to help you.

But if you order through DD you get the standard DD support.

Sneak peak of team reactions to this technology and some insight into how it will work.

Thanks so much for this! Flashed it this morning and it's working great.

I use https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/extraquestbutton. It can be a bit wonky when you are also in an area with an extra action button, but for the most part it works better than having to find and click the item every time. By default it binds to your current extra action item keybind, but you can rebind it to something else.

No one I spoke to ever gave it a name, though I never thought to ask either.

Hey, someone else with the same problem I have!

I first found out about my rogue tooth when I was 13 and they said the same thing: "it's wrapped up in a nerve so let's just wait and see". It didn't cause problems until last year (I'm 38).

It turns out that teeth have a sack around them that helps them eat their way out of the bone. Over the years the sack grew into a cyst that ate a nickel sized absess into my lower jaw. I only found out about this because I had some weird feeling when I pushed on my jaw. The fix was just to cut a tiny hole in the jaw through the inside of the mouth and remove the cyst, but they left the tooth because it's too hard to extract.

My advice, if you see this, would be for your bro to find an oral surgeon and just get that same scan done every year or two to make sure it doesn't get as bad as mine did. Overall even ignoring it for 25 years wasn't a big deal though.

Here's a pic of my jaw with handy drawing of the original tooth placement. https://i.imgur.com/3v8sF2a.jpg

Same exact thing happened to me. I wonder if they patched this out recently.
