It’s addictive, not addicting.

I wonder if urabn camouflage is appropriate attire for search and rescue services? Like, what if you (the searcher) get stuck, and no-one can find you 🤔

Although probably need to get someone in to handle the female characters - writing women is not his strong point…

Hell yes!

Peter Hamilton’s nights dawn trilogy, and his commonwealth saga. Both really good space opera, with varied characters and plot lines.

Yeah but, I’m talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.

20 is fine with biological detergent, but people can have adverse reactions. But over 60 is recommended for bedding, to sterilise the microbes that grow there.

Crypto - try to remember before crypto, the idea of cashless was non-existent. Want to make international transfers? Pay up the ass in fees and at rates they choose. Crypto forced companies to do better with digital currency.

Jesus, this hurts my soul…
