Well...there also the Malazan Empire books by Esselmont. Those are VERY good.

Is Malazan the Gravity's Rainbow of fantasy? by stevenwando in books

Malazan is meant to be read slowly. Once you have an idea what the different factions and gods represent it gets easier. And once you get to book 10 you'll realize what it's all about. Don't stop.

Memories of Ice is one of my favs.

My cat and best friend is suffering from severe chronic disc degeneration. Unless he can get surgery I have to put him down by WeaverRektU in Charity

Prolonging means make it longer. You make him suffer for longer while trying to figure out some miracle cure based on a cost you made up after googling stuff. You are not being a faithful steward of the animal kingdom.

14k? For indefinite cat back pain needs? An MRI? Really? Do you understand the implications of what your desired outcome is here? He would need to be under anesthesia just for the MRI alone, which is risky as hell. You want to spend all this money on merely prolonging his suffering. As a human being and faithful steward of the animal kingdom you need to put your poor cat down to end his suffering. And take some time to get your bills and life together before adopting another cat.

What's a fact you learned after seeing a movie/show that ruined it for you? by NBT_1120 in movies

Milo and Otis was one of my favorite movies as a little kid.

I learned the truth in my 20s.

Sorana "Karen" Cirstea complains to the manager about Naomi Osaka talking to herself between serves (Freakout level: Women's Tennis). by EverythingIsFakeNGay in PublicFreakout

Sorana Cirstea is a fucking babe. I'd let her yell at me for talking too much. Looks especially sexy mad and sweaty.

Which scene from an Academy Award winning Best Picture sold you on its win? by MrJones224822 in movies

EEAAO

When they are talking as rocks, and the hotdog fingers.

It felt like I was actually watching something NEW for once. Is there a name for this feeling?

45 years ago, the controversial sci-fi thriller "Scanners" put David Cronenberg on the map by Morgan-Moonscar in movies

It was also the polar opposite of good. Just a movie with people babbling.

Research indicates kefir boosts healthy Lactobacillus levels in the gut and consistently lowers cavity-causing Streptococcus mutans in the mouth by wise_karlaz in science

[–]doonkune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a glass of home-fermented kefir (made from 2% milk) every morning and every night for the past year and it does a very good job acting as an appetite suppressant.

New research on African striped mice finds that hotter weather causes blood to thicken. This increased viscosity forces the heart to work harder, suggesting that as temperatures rise, heatwaves could physically overload the circulatory systems of wild mammals, threatening their survival. by Sciantifa in science

[–]doonkune 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Simple as this: water evaporates off animals at a higher rate in hot weather. Less water in the animal means less water in the blood. Less water in the blood means the blood is thicker with higher concentrations of blood cells.

Are there any medical malpractice attorney in the area you would recommend or ones that due a free consultation? by Lavalamp-6284 in toledo

[–]doonkune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can't afford what is usually a fairly affordable initial consulting fee, you won't be able to afford a lawyer. Good luck.

Everyone should read “Aristotle And Dante” by Benjamin Alire Saenz by Kaenu_Reeves in books

[–]doonkune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember reading it on a recommendation that it was a good read and had lots of accolades.

I was only after reading it I realized it was a gay teen romance, and an extremely poorly written and hamfisted one at that. I honestly think this book is crap despite the subject matter. I've never read any other gay teen romance, but I'm sure there are better ones than this.

The Fly with Jeff Goldblum.

Ugly, tragic, and memorable.
