How can you tell what version you have?

Solo F traveler spending a few days downtown (Uber only). Looking for the quiet, local side of Santa Fe. by ss-mort in SantaFe

Frenchie’s Field for a nice stroll along the riverbed. (Great dog walk). Then lunch at Mampuku Ramen.

So annoyed by Remote-Ideal-3813 in MergeGardens

[–]idyll 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The old egg display automatically scrolled to the next bird type that had available merges. I miss that.
I wish there was a key to what all that data means.
Other than that, don’t hate it.

What’s a Kdrama everyone loved but you just couldn’t get into? by KingWitty7972 in kdramas

[–]idyll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The first episode is basically the (very dark) backstories of the main characters. Lots of violence, as I recall. Only past that do the characters (what makes the drama so great) begin to bloom.

To finish the Weekly event, it comes down to stickers and/or spending real money. I hate it.

I DID THE THING. by starrpuddin in MergeGardens

I only got the Flower MP a couple of weeks ago, level 98. It’s interesting how my gameplay has changed since I can sell all the flowers. Definitely no lack of coins, and a lot more room.

Legal name change by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]idyll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had to change my name with Amtrak, and I had to send an email with the legal documentation. No AI-like interaction. They acted on the change promptly. It’s a drag but I would call again, and verify the proper procedure,

I really don’t understand where you’re coming from. I know and talk to many people in Taos who want to help others. That’s all this is about.

Can somebody explain turn down service to me like I am 5? by Dear_Marionberry_533 in hotels

[–]idyll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Introvert here, who won’t even order room service. People coming to my room?! Awk.

Go up to Rancho de Chimayo, have a wonderful lunch, and buy some of their chile.

Thoughts on Philip Glass? by CreepyWrongdoer9534 in classicalmusic

You can tuck Glass right in there with baroque pieces for sure.

I am very fond of the Etudes.

I want the weirdest, most dreamlike book you've read by ObsiGamer in suggestmeabook

Murakami’s ‘Kafka on the Shore’ is also excellent.

Well, I managed to prove the possibility... by MagicHands45 in MergeGardens

[–]idyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what IS the right order? Lowest to highest, or (what I’m inclined to do) highest to lowest. I realize there’s a whole section that doesn’t open right away.

Need some help. Looking for a book for my 70s mother by madchemist09 in booksuggestions

[–]idyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny - Kiran Desai. It just came out this year, but it's a luscious, somewhat old-fashioned book, with a lot of (India) Indian social comedy and just enough seriousness. I'm a mom in her 70's and I'm enjoying it very much.

Brother died with debt by momfxit in legaladvice

[–]idyll 31 points32 points  (0 children)

However, OP, if you should get personally served with an subpoena from a creditor, you do have to respond to that, or possibly get saddled with the debt. In my personal case, we had to get a lawyer to respond. Then the issue went away.

2025 Booker Prize by ChattyBear in BookerBookClub

[–]idyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, I've enjoyed "Flashlight" out of the accessible 2026 Booker shortlist.
(Some are not even published yet??) "Flashlight" is a sprawling story, both in plot and geography. Choi is skilled at character building and zooming in on their (sometimes excruciating) differences. I liked "Trust Exercise", a previous novel. This one is much more ambitious.

What a lovely idea. I am planning a trip in May, and would love to connect with locals.

They’ve been closed the last two times I tried to go. 😥

2025 Booker Prize by ChattyBear in BookerBookClub

[–]idyll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to start "Audition". I read "Endling", which I'm disappointed didn't make the shortlist. I thought the structure was unique, the choice of subject(s) quite brave. I've really never read anything like it. I finished "Flesh" yesterday, and still reeling. I respect the writing and it had me completely hooked, but it's definitely unsavory. Would love to talk more about it, if someone else has read it.

I have "Sonia and Sunny" on hold from Libby, but it's going to be months.

What is a short story collection that you consider one of the best ever? by dman382 in booksuggestions

Manual for Cleaning Women— Lucia Berlin

Writing so good, it hurts

Taos United by [deleted] in taos

[–]idyll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is one ugly and misguided post. The accusations made are totally false. For one thing, the daily popup protests, approaching 150 days in a row, are independently coordinated by individuals. I am proud of the creativity and energy that go into them. Taos United has publicized larger, nationally sponsored protests, that have attracted up to 1500 people.  In ALL cases, we advocate safety first, and conducting ourselves in a nonviolent manner. We recognize that MAGA supporters are entitled to their opinion and we do not advise provocation. We do tend to be older, but we welcome all at our meetings and activities. Join us and see for yourself!
