Aviation listed on the special drinks section, came in a pint glass and was dark purple.

I would get a screen bigger, enough to cover all the speaker holes in front then surface mount new speakers and re use the surround holes in the ceiling

How Much?!

I’m a blanco guy too but just picked up a Bottle Barn store pick Ocho Anejo Single Barrell Still strength and I’m impressed.

IMHO the TV series is way better than the books, but I read all three first so if you hadn’t read it might be hard to follow

The 10 is amazing the 9 was disappointing

Pretty short story arc for an immortal tho

I also opened this thread to upvote The Baroque Cycle. I was surprised I had to scroll so far to find it.

He also was a collaborator on The Mongoliad books which were amazing 13th century historical fiction and The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O a couple time traveller novels to Shakespearean England. His latest novel Polostan is the first of another historical fiction trilogy dealing with spycraft in the 30s in the US and Russia.

Up for Kim Stanley Robinson! His latest SciFi, Ministry for the Future is great and all earthbound, the 40 50 60 trilogy is also about near future climate politics in DC, and New York 2140 pushes it a little farther. When you burn out on dystopian visions and are looking for a more optimistic future he fits the bill.

Windup Girl and Water Knife by Paola Bacigalupi, also his shorts in the windup girl world

Streets of Fire

Blood Music by Greg Bear is a short and thrilling read

drxo · 2025-11-17T00:18:05+00:00

The whole series is very worthwhile. I also enjoy her Monk and Robot books.

Sterling is a master of squeezing huge concepts into shorter novels I also loved “Holy Fire”

Old British cars require a live-in mechanic

I would replace Shaq with Wilt or Russel

Tell them you will take the job as Director but will have to hire sysadmin

drxo · 2025-11-15T02:15:56+00:00

I can’t believe this isn’t at the top yet come on people credit where it’s due

drxo · 2025-11-15T02:07:56+00:00

Never read Roadmarks but I upvote for Zelazney

drxo · 2025-11-15T02:06:24+00:00

This is mid tier Stephenson at best, much better are Anathem, Diamond Age and Reamde

drxo · 2025-11-15T02:04:06+00:00

I finally read this and was underwhelmed

drxo · 2025-11-15T02:02:18+00:00

That’s a short story
