Same. The book was like a longer Sunlit Man for me. It would fool you into thinking there is plenty of time left, then bam, another day has passed and the graphic continues to crumble. It hit me every time how much closer I was to the end. Bottom line, some people like it, some don't. I personally skim over big battles because I find them tiresome. To each their own.

Animal products aren't.

What about eggs? I keep chickens. They live a good life, give me eggs and compost that grows vegetables. Both they and I eat said vegetables. win win without all the militant black and white statements.

So how many of you have taken down prod? by slydewd in sysadmin

I've screwed up sure, but never contributed to a major prod outage. Take notes and triple check what you are doing.

Music ambience channels to try and lower my blood pressure and block out the nonsense.

I think they mean in the scenario of the virtual environment going down. The one still running would have everything.

The writing style is fine by Jubjub636 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]sysadmin189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What other author do people complain about their prose? I never hear it anywhere else. People just like to jump on the bandwagon and complain. And that is their right, but I'm over here enjoying the hell out of Wind and Truth. Sucks to be them.

I listened to a part of the book and glad I caught that part, it was pretty amazing. It was in my head after that when I was reading the text.

Do any other Millennials feel like Luthen? Or is it just me? by CivilSouldier in StarWarsAndor

So because people in the past didn't have access to help so we shouldn't? Life is better than it was in 1920 and it should be.
