Gods, Rebels was such a surprisingly excellent show. I should watch it again

God what a transparently lame pro-Trump propaganda meme. Boooorrring, next!

Are any “undecided” voters actually swayed by this useless garbage?

Bunch of loser crybabies wondering why they’ve been excluded when everyone hates their stupid asses for being objectively awful humans.

Eat shit, TERFs. Go die in a ditch, Nazis.

Ah, that’s $999 Canadian. Right now our exchange against the US$ is brutal.

This sounded fantastic until I looked it up and it’s A THOUSAND DOLLARS???

I love my cat and I hate scooping litter, but definitely not a grand worth of either…

Boooooooo

Titanfall 2 might fit that scenario the best. Great story but easily payable, lots of quick action, not crazy long and pretty much on rails unless you’re a collectible completionist.

Is there a similar list (or same?) for if I want to fill in the spaces between the core films Ep2 -> Ep3, and Ep3 -> Ep4?

That’s your perineal raphe. In the womb everyone starts female, and that particular feature either becomes the scrotal/penile raphe (the scrotum seam) or the labia majora.

I think the most impressive thing about this is that they were able to travel a year into the future to obtain the survey data.

This is the only answer. The H10 is the only HRM that is worth a damn for accuracy during workouts, especially something intense like HIIT.

FWIW the Polar app is great too, and very privacy-friendly. It does sync automatically with Google/Fitbit services.

Amazing! Sanderson writes an incredibly inter-woven series of stories that are largely independent of one another, but do intersect in different ways, and the deeper we get into his worlds, the more the overlapping elements of his universe start to come into the narrative.

The Cosmere is big and complex, and I just finished re-reading the whole thing in a suggested order that helps build up the Cosmere in a way that’s a bit friendlier to a new reader. Each series takes place on different planets in their universe, and in the case of the Mistborn series, in two different eras separated by a few hundred years.

Here’s how I read it:

PHASE ONE (largely independent)

Scadrial

• Mistborn (The Final Empire): Mistborn Era 1-1
• The Well Of Ascension: Mistborn Era 1-2
• The Hero Of Ages: Mistborn Era 1-3
• The Eleventh Metal (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)

Sel

• Elantris
• The Hope of Elantris (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)
• The Emperor’s Soul (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)

Nalthis

• Warbreaker

Taldain

• White Sand (either the original 3-part graphic novel or the new prose version)

Threnody

• Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)

First of the Sun

• Sixth of the Dust (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)

PHASE TWO (starting to weave in Cosmere references more heavily)

Scadrial

• The Alloy Of Law: Mistborn Era 2-1
• Allomancer Jak (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)
• Shadows Of Self: Mistborn Era 2-2
• The Bands Of Mourning: Mistborn Era 2-3
• Mistborn: Secret History (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)

Roshar

• The Way Of Kings: Stormlight Archive 1
• Words Of Radiance: Stormlight Archive 2
• Edgedancer (Novella in Arcanum Unbounded)
• Oathbringer: Stormlight Archive 3
• Dawnshard (Novella)
• Rhythm Of War: Stormlight Archive 4

Scadrial (again!)

• The Lost Metal (this one makes much more sense after Roshar)

There’s also a few shorts Brandon wrote as a secret project during the pandemic that are starting to be released now:

Lumar

• Tress Of The Emerald Sea

Komashi

• Yuri and the Nightmare Painter

???

• Kickstarter Secret Project #3 in October 2023

Oh man, what a ride indeed. That series really is epic! And just in time for Season 2 of WoT to drop on Amazon!

If you liked that series, and in particular the last 2-3 books, then I’d recommend working your way through Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere, and the Stormlight Archive series in particular. Not classic sci-fi (although I’d argue it still fits on some levels), but an excellent fit after reading Robert Jordan.

Ready Player One is a very good beach book, and especially so if you’re a child of the 80s. Fun read, nothing groundbreaking, tons and tons of trivia and nostalgia.

As far as I’m aware, Polar is the most privacy-friendly smart watch company.

However, I don’t think you can sync the data to a private server.
