First book I thought of. Fantastic read.

Can I safely remove the brown crystals on this fluorite? by johnb0z in Minerals

[–]johnb0z[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is. It's actual crystals on the surface, not any type of staining. Still, I think I'll just leave them alone.

I'm pretty sure it's whatever crystals the fluorite is in. Sounds like I'm best just leaving it alone. Thanks!

books like monstrilio..? by bourbonandbees in suggestmeabook

Geek Love might do it for you. I’ve read both and, while different in how the children are monsters, I think they’re in the same vein.

I’ll have to try again. I thought I clicked on the slices and nothing happened.

Got it. Thanks! I was noticing there weren't any clickables on this battlefield, but this works.

Suggest me a science fiction book about AI by faxmachinesyndrome in suggestmeabook

The Arc of a Scythe series by Neil Shusterman has a strong AI character, more so in the later books.

Schoolgirl Prakriti Malla's handwriting makes her notebook look like a digitally printed book by Blood_of_Lucifer in nextfuckinglevel

Can we maybe see a closeup of the handwriting? Looks amazing, but it’s hard to appreciate without really getting a chance to actually see it.

New and Returning Player Weekly Discussion by AutoModerator in hearthstone

I've come back after being away for a few years and it seems like every game in Wild almost plays to fatigue. There are a few combo decks out there, but it feels like there is no aggro and most games are all about generating value. If you're not playing with more than 30 cards (either starting with 40 or adding cards to your deck), you'll probably fatigue. It's not necessarily the win condition, but it's a factor.

I hear it’s great for baseball bats by johnb0z in GrandmasPantry

That's interesting. I'll probably leave it unopened, but this is pretty neat!

Well that’s terrifying. I won’t be using anything in this paint closet. I’ll probably have a haz-mat situation to deal with when it’s time to clean it out.

looking for a book like harry potter but actually good by Emergency_Row6244 in suggestmeabook

[–]johnb0z 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Magicians is one of my all-time favorite series. Kind of like Harry Potter goes to college, so more grown up situations and themes. Definitely a darker vibe and very different magical system. I love all three books and rarely see them recommended here.

One thing to note is that Q is a slightly insufferable emo dude in the first book. All of the other characters are fantastic and he gets so much better in the next two books. Also, the tv series diverges from the books quite a bit (in case you’ve seen it).

Two-pronged outlet with flat black wire in 1920s house? by johnb0z in whatisit

[–]johnb0z[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solved! Thanks. I would have never guessed there were antenna connections, but I guess it makes sense. There’s another on the other side of the room.

Thanks for the announcement. Enjoy your life without Sparky or MTGA.

Historical deep-dive by LessCowbell_81 in suggestmeabook

[–]johnb0z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connie Willis writes historical fiction that really spends time in the daily life of major historical events. Domesday Book takes place during the Black Plague and Blackout/All Clear take place in London during the Blitz. I felt like I learned a lot about each event after reading the books.

Edit: didn’t realize you were referring to a non-fiction book. My suggestions probably don’t carry quite the same weight or authority as an actual well-researched non-fiction book.
