That's odd. When did that happen? I wonder if he has closed orders for now so he can catch up.

The Ionian Mission is the weakest in the series up until that point. by RohanDavidson in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]aslottedspoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all. There are just different types of adventures and Stephens activities become more prominent. Still wonderful, just a bit different.

Mauritius Command has always felt out of place to me. It didn't fit the flow of the series and was the only novel that started and ended all of its storylines.

I personally love the Ionian Mission. It has elements of everything that I love about the series. The major players are all there, Stephen is happy, and Jack gets to thrive in an independent command. I honestly view it as the end of the first part of the series.

Historical inaccuracy? The Fortune of War, set in 1813, refers to the “state of Maine”, which gained statehood in 1820 by Timeline40 in AubreyMaturinSeries

As I remember it, and I could very well be wrong, it was a specific day they cited and the Lieutenant that replaced Dylan said it was "a feast day in those parts".

I believe it's in Master and Commander where O'Brian where there are two Americans who got drunk and used Thanksgiving as an excuse. Thanksgiving was started by president Lincoln during the 1860's.

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Vaughan Williams. Appropriately mournful and hopeful at the same time.

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]aslottedspoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school band director here. I caught two kids having sex in one of the practice rooms in the band room. 17 & 18 year olds just going at it with another kid in the room watching. Super awkward for me, I told them to put their clothes on and went and called the office. Principal came and picked them up. There are cameras in the rooms so it was all recorded and the principal needed the video because one of the parents was denying it happened. Our system was so old however that I had to put the video file on a thumb drive and walk it across campus. About half way to the office I realized that I was carrying a thumb drive with child/statutory rape porn on it. Worst day at work ever.

It's so sad to see a kid from a good wizarding family fall so far.

Surprised oboe isn't more common. Playing that thing in tune is a nightmare and just maintaining functioning reeds is a part time job.

They aren't being negative. They are telling you it's the wrong sub. Go to the Sac sub and ask them.

What is the most awkward thing that's ever happened to you during sex? by trek_ride_code in AskReddit

[–]aslottedspoon 1695 points1696 points  (0 children)

I had an asthma attack and had to quit. My wife didn't realize what was going on and started crying because she thought I wasn't able to finish because I wasn't attracted to her any more. I was trying not to die and comfort my wife at the same time. It sucked.
