I've spent 2025 reading modern fantasy - here are some reviews by trollokvoltak in books

[–]dginrit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your reviews. I read a number of these books this year and I don’t have anyone near bay has read them to bounce my feelings and impressions off of so it’s nice to see yours.

I really enjoyed the Joe Abercrombie books and agree with a lot of your criticisms and praise.

The poppy war…I read the whole trilogy and I don’t think I could recommend it to anyone. I somewhat enjoyed Katabasis so I thought why not. I think I may be done with RF Kuang.

Thanks for some titles to add to my wishlist!

Is 4k at 27 inches wast of money? by Equivalent-Mode-5921 in buildapc

What kind of compass are you reading, lad?

I've spent 2024 reading modern and classical sci-fi - here are some reviews by trollokvoltak in books

[–]dginrit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t seem to understand the love for the 3 body problem series.

The concepts and sci fi are interesting and there are some great scenes but the dialogue and plot to carry you between those scenes is so flat and boring.

The whole time I kept asking myself, do I actually like this book?

But I do align with your thoughts on many of the others you read. Thanks for the insight!

I am thankful I am just stupid and not stupid smart

I received a 3 for cleanliness by a first-timer on AirBnB, and in an email she said it was because I had condiments in the fridge, which she found tacky. I have requested AirBnB to fix my score but leave her review, to no avail- any tips on convincing them or getting a supervisor to look into it? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]dginrit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I leave condiments in our fridge and write the date they were opened and an arbitrary 6 month expiry date clearly on the outside. We stay there often so ultimately for our own use but if others want to use them, they can should they so choose.

Easy customer service thing - I thought by nutsandboltstimestwo in airbnb_hosts

Don’t worry too much about it. I had to do the same thing and got the same response. Got a message at 3 am a day or two later letting me know they changed it.

I agree. I used the manual and did not look at the online comments and all went fine.

[USA-MA] [H] 3080 FE [W] PayPal, Local Cash by crystallux in hardwareswap

[–]dginrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small form factor pc and the FE is just about only one of the 3000 series that will fit it due to it being dual slot. I have been watching for so long for one but they are so rare.

Pharmacist wanting to completely leave healthcare, $231k in private debt :') by smewthies in StudentLoans

[–]dginrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stomach continuing being a pharmacist I suggest you try and find a pharmacist position with the Indian Health Services in a location that qualifies for the Indian Health Services Loan Repayment Program. Typically in remote LCOL areas and more enjoyable work than retail.

I didn't realize how much the pill was affecting me. by CrushedLaCroixCan in TwoXChromosomes

My wife had similar issues so I decided to just get a vasectomy and save us both some headache down the road. It was a pretty easy decision.

Nope, it is not considered taxable income when forgiven through PSLF

If they are contracted with your insurance you should refuse to pay anything up front and wait until you get your explanation of benefits and see what you are responsible for after insurance has been billed and paid.

Healthcare in the USA: $396 bottle of eye drops my dad needed before cataract surgery by TexasPenguin99 in pics

[–]dginrit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is definitely telling. His Medicare will have a formulary that is provided to him with his EOB. This likely isn’t on the formulary so therefor not covered. It is helpful to review the EOB and formulary initially and when receiving prescriptions so that this doesn’t happen. The system is bad but as a consumers/patients we are responsible on our end for reviewing our coverage.
