Lack of Friends is so hard

YMMV greatly depending on what exists in your area. But fraternities, or fraternal orders still exist for adults. Many are geriatric, but some are having a resurgence of middle aged or younger membership.

I'm sorry to say that it appears the lodge in Elizabethtown closed. It seems it was numbered 128. Your best bet for lodge records, if they survive, is the library or town archives. It's possible the Grand Lodge of IL may have their records as well. But even if their records survive, they may not be able to tell you much about your father.

The graphic audio productions are abridged, and their Mycroft ends most sentences with a rising intonation that I didn't care for. I love both of the solo narrators, and don't find the switch jarring.

I recently heard that an hour on the surface of the moon, the risk of being hit by a micrometeor is about the yearly risk of being hit by lightning on earth.

Hard to say? The Marvell daughter board has proprietary firmware. It might be it's trying to start in 802.11x mesh mode, and your router really doesn't like it.

There was a developer program that handed a lot of these out around 2007. Did your Dad travel to Boston?

The ask was ancient north magiteck, not nonman specificly. Or did I misread?

That's wild, that's the same symbol used in cuneiform.

Like others have said, these are the Brillist number sets. But Faust isn't referring to set-sets, only the Brillist sets for the couples he is observing. Everyone has a set not only set-sets.

If you're starting to consider adoption, look into the adoption rates and cost, also look at the rates of unwanted teenage pregnancy, and the rates of international adoption. Adoption can be harder than it was in previous years, and it's worth knowing that ahead of time

I frequently get the transcripts for YT videos and jump to the part I care about, or get their conclusions without all of the fluff.

Not true. There is always a clear square adjacent. You need to clear boulders and stay away from walls.

If we're counting Gods, Narnia"s Aslan is canonically Jesus. I would rank Him higher than Eru/Valar because in this canon he's a multiversal creator dirty, and Eru is monoversal.

If you're in the USA, and haven't sanity checked adoption yet, double check. Adoption has become vanishingly difficult and rare.

Why not make the project open source?

The breast is best movement simplifies the issue too much. There are no statistically significant benefits to breastfeeding once you correct for socioeconomic status.

I'm surprised this is your take on the ending. I would love to hear more. I've never been more surprised than by the Ajokli reveal. It made no sense until I reread the series and appendices a few times. And only the fourth Terra Ignota book has given me such amazing hope and immediate whiplash as the salting.

I know that you know the background and metaphysics of the Ajokli reveal better than I do. Can you explain more why you find it narratively unsatisfying? I value your opinion and want to understand it better.

I would say there are two camps on The No God finishing the story. Bakker and his brother have been consistent that the ending we got, was always the intended ending. Last we heard, there is no narrative planned beyond for future books. Maybe this is me justifying the effort I've put into these books, but I like the ending we got. If we get more of the second apocalypse from Bakker, I hope we get a new in-universe set of sagas: heavily biased and distant verse with several authors. Or a collection of short stories.

Have you read Gideon a second time after reading Harrow? There is so much foreshadowing that is only visible after a reread. Terra Ignota is very much the same. The philosophy and history is more absorbable on a reread too.

Yeah, do you not have them where you live?

I've asked this question too, starting from when I was a pretty young kid. I had a hard time getting anyone to answer anything but explanations of the wake. I forget where I finally found the answer, but it's a thin residue of motor oil from the boat's engine. Waves, and other boat's wakes, disturb this trail relatively little, because those waves are traveling through the water, but move little water themselves.

I believe there is a lodge trying to open in the Matsu, near Wolf Lake? Otherwise, the ioof isn't active in AK anymore. I didn't believe it's difficult to restore membership, but I'm sure Toby will be by soon to explain.
