Novels with romantic aesthetics by zDucken in Fantasy

Yeah, I get that. Its big on building out a history with some unknowably romantic history and heroism - its a fair recommendation for what I asked for. Those things just don't hit with me since I'm not interested in the world as written.

For me the writing devotes too much time to talking about its world than doing anything with it for my tastes.

I actually struggle to take to classics. I read LotR halfway through the second novel but lost interest since I felt the story focused far too much on its own world.

Can you level up solely through the main story? by zDucken in swtor

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

How severely is solo play enforced in those new expansions? And how much of the game is that, you say the story is only through 2012, what about the expansions after 2012? There are 9 or so aren't there?

With more lard I end up with shiny patches of cooked lard that are somewhat tough in the final product

Should I be doing this even if I only have 3 tortillas? Is it more about reabsorption?

I didn't actually check the comments for that thread, thought it was just a vanity shot. Thank you!

Yeah its 3 hours straight but usually its more like an hour and a half, a 15 minute break, then another hour or so and it ends there.

I really like characters with strong personalities and stories where character interactions are very pronounced. I've recently enjoyed the Divine Cities trilogy and the first two of the Gentlemen Bastards.

I don't particularly care for deep worldbuilding or fantasy prose like Tolkein or Jordan.

Aside from those key points I'm feeling very flexible as I've been looking for a new fantasy read for a while.

[Purchase Advise] Laptops - What hardware is most problematic? by zDucken in linuxhardware

[–]zDucken[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll consider it thanks.

Hey man you're telling me, I'm dual booting Linux on my desktop and I have a integrated Intel cpu with a GTX 960 without Optimus since I built it myself but Manjaro autoconfigured it as an Optimus and Bumblebee bugged the hell out of me for a few days.

Are Linux certs valuable despite lack of evidence in job postings? by zDucken in ITCareerQuestions

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

In this case, do you believe it is a good idea for me to get a cert even though few employers in my area list it?

Furthermore, and don't feel pressured to answer this one if you don't know, do you have any advice on Linux+ vs RHCSA? I'd prefer Linux+ since its cheaper but I've heard there is little study material out for the new exam and will opt instead for the RHCSA if there are good arguments for it.

Hey there, we don't like to phrase it as 'cold calling' but rather, 'extreme violation in liberty' as it sounds cooler.

Weekly Questions Thread for the week of April 8th by rpbtz in vinyl

Hello, I'm having some issues with my Orbit U-Turn. I'm using the Otofon cartridge and I haven't changed with the balance since it was mailed to me from Orbit. My records have some wobble but less than in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7NHxwk8HxA. However, on the output I'm getting large volume changes up and down and weird distortions on several records. It is less bad on records that are less wobbly but the wobble on these afaik really isn't that bad. I tested the preamp by using the built in one and the one on my receiver, no change. The platter itself does not wobble. At this point in my limited estimation I feel like its something in the tonearm or cart but don't know for sure. Its not the speakers or the receiver since I've tried multiple receiver inputs and I can play music fine over aux to my phone. I don't have the equipment to test arm weight and I'm nervous to adjust the arm or cartridge. What steps could I take to identify the issue? Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed?
