Less risk of computer viruses, higher risk of bird flu though.

Without having any more specific information (which you need not share) Duluth is a fairly large city for Minnesota, unless you have a specific specialist need or some insurance need, you should be able to find the care you need for most common needs and have a good number of providers to find a professional that meets your care needs. At a worst case scenario, both the twin cities and Rochester (Mayo Clinic) are about 3 hours away, and that should exhaust even the most rare specialists.

Are you looking for a book reading app:

• Where if you throw an EPUB file (for example) at it you can read it within the app?

Or

• One where you can track information about books that you are reading or have read and can find out if new books are coming out similar to those you currently have shown interest in?

Add a ballot question for ranked choice and I’d be happy as lutefisk in butter.

When did this community become a podcast announcement feed for Krystal Ball and Saagar Emjeti?

That would be literally devastating if I had cited Wikipedia itself instead of using it as a way to point you to a long list of citations from far more authoritative sources without wasting my time typing them all out again.

Good effort though.

A site or source has to earn the credit before it can be discredited.

You can attack the one making the critique all you want and it doesn’t establish actual credibility for the original source. The grayzone’s weaknesses in misleading coverage and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes is well noted in academic journals and other sources cited the references on their Wikipedia page.

I’d second murderbot by Martha Wells or the Laundry Files by Charles Stross starting with The Atrocity Archives.

I’m struggling to get through the first of the Thieves’ World anthologies. I generally struggle with anthologies or short story collections because the character and the writing styles change so I can’t really be build up any momentum. The stories are generally enjoyable and it’s something that’s been on my reading list for a long time because one of the short story characters is one I really enjoy.

Great reader, by the way, kobo makes by far the superior device currently for a dedicated reader.

Was this before or after he ate the big red candle?

Who even hires American nannies anymore, it was my understanding from the movies I watch that all nannies are supposed to be hot vaguely Eastern European twenty-something’s. I mean you don’t even see these women anywhere near a kid, maybe a stroller that looks empty….

It was the best of card games, it was the worst of card games.

I was told it’s not about the size of the disk but how it’s used that really matters.

This makes a lot of sense. It’s impossible to make smart decisions when you’re Hungary. That’s why it’s good to go after a meal or at minimum have a snack before grocery shopping.

Uncanny Magazine has had some really great pieces over the years.

I got turned on to it because some of the people behind it feature regularly on a podcast network (The Incomparable) that I routinely listen to.

Over December I read Scott Hawkins’ Library at Mount Char, T. Kingfisher’s Paladin’s Faith, Ben Aaronovich’s Moon over Soho, and I just finished Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology last night.

Mount Char was a wild ride. I’m still processing it a bit. I enjoyed it a bunch though.

Kingfisher is amongst my favorite authors right now, and while I’m not typically a Romantacy person, the World of the White Rat books all have a lot of great Fantasy and the romance portions are integrated well.

I started Rivers of London a while ago, but dropped off so I’m trying to pick it back up. It’s good, especially if you’re a Dresden Fan. There’s quite a few similarities in style.

Norse Mythology has always been interesting to me, and Gaiman’s integrates a bunch of disparate sources to make a pretty good set of stories.

The best Battlestar Galactica spinoff.

It was particularly notable in the episode where he had to scream, “Purple Burglar Alarm!”
