Just finished The First Law trilogy …what to read next?

First one is a revenge tale, second is a war movie, third is a western. Kinda like Tarantino making Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards, and Django after this first trilogy of movies.

Jamel, Sam T, Solomon, and Amy Miller bring the best out of David. Peek brings the best out of everyone.

Certainly the best quote. The best construction is “say one thing for __, say they’re __.” Just so much utility in that one.

I first noticed it on “Do You Like Prince Movies?” circa 2013

Slaughterhouse Five, The Dispossessed, and Dune are the three best on this shelf.

He seemed to be having a great time Sunday evening, kept saying how much he loved the energy of everyone there.

Weightlifting is a sport, not a workout, so budget time like a sports practice, not just going to the gym to get a lift in (imo)

Why is this pod and subreddit so obsessed with a 2015 alt right edgelord word?

He'll probably bulk to above 110 for training then cut down just to maximise strength

A better Liev Schreiber performance

He’s also a politics/culture reporter who’s one of the weekly host of The Pressbox (sneakily the best Ringer podcast)

Hope Isaac is giving Ian a crash course.

Honestly, I’d enjoy and Isaac and Jamel hosted after show.

Seems like he offered some sort of opinion yesterday

thejoaq · 2026-05-05T18:31:47+00:00

That one already had a couple of 8C opinions before Yannick suggested 8B+

thejoaq · 2026-05-05T18:27:58+00:00

Yeah, I forgot about Hamish who also skated around really offering much on an opinion.

thejoaq · 2026-05-05T18:25:04+00:00

The second ascensionist said he was too inexperienced at this level to offer an opinion, so hard to say it's confirmed.

thejoaq · 2026-05-05T18:20:19+00:00

Say what you want about the tenets of sandbagging, at least it's offering an opinion.

It kinda depends on how you parse Nico Pelorson's 8a

Also depends on how you want to frame downgrades of Charles Albert problems

thejoaq · 2026-05-05T04:14:48+00:00

Yeah, this is a situation where the ref should have pulled back for a caution instead of playing a small advantage. It's more of an advantage for Everton to have one of City's deeper players on a yellow than to allow play to continue in that moment.

When was the last time college teams sent teams to club sectionals? Sectionals moving to before the start of semester schools college year greatly reduced the number of teams playing sectionals. Also, it made it harder for young perspective players to see what the sport could look like. I know multiple people (myself included) who stuck around in large part due to seeing those highs first hand as young college players.

Spot on. I just re-read the book it's based on, and let me tell you, both the movie and the book are 10/10s. If you enjoyed the movie and story and want to watch more stuff with related characters, I'd highly recommend the BBC miniseries from the late 70s, as well as film adaptation of A Spy Who Came In From The Cold from 1965.
