it’s easier for them to hit that 22% solve rate if they don’t have to do any actual work.

beans, beans, they’re good for your heart the more you eat, the more you fart

I can tell you from experience that I absolutely notice when police do this to me and it absolutely feels like a threat. Being a police officer in the US isn’t even close to being the most dangerous profession but they treat every interaction as if this will be the one that kills them.

cue all the D’Amro Land jokes

the Super Bowl is just a bunch of burly guys pressing tightly against another group of burly guys trying to prove who is best at handling balls all to win jewelry and a purse.

don’t forget back room deals!

if this guy was still in charge, he’d probably encourage more people to travel to the games because “seats might become available suddenly”

I hope all their future meals taste like piss and flies

I had it easy teaching my daughter to drive - she was naturally cautious so if anything I only ever had to remind her to speed up. We live in a small enough city that I never even did that unless there was traffic behind her. I let her learn at her speed (and then sent her to driving school to get that discount on insurance). No yelling or extra stress required

it’s about someone who can’t make long term memories. The scenes are put together in basically backwards order and people tend to leave their first viewing confused

am I supposed to believe that those cans are holy hand grenades?

I just started it today!

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. (Ebook) I keep trying to find books in the Fantasy genre that I enjoy reading. hopefully this will be the one that gets me there.

Polostan by Neal Stephenson. Bought this one blind because I like every one of the author’s books that I’ve read. They’re usually filled with math and or philosophy and he does a great job of explaining things in the context of the book, so I’m excited to get into this one and feel dumb for a while until I pick up whatever he’s putting down.

I just finished (today) both Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa.

just finished it today and I gave it 3.75/5. Mostly because I felt like the ending was just okay. If I explained my gripes with the end, it’d get deep into spoilers but if you enjoy reading for the ride and not the destination, it’s pretty good. If you need a book to stick the landing, maybe pass.

it’s pretty good so far. it’s mostly fast paced with a few slower, introspective chapters. There are a few fun ideas in the book so far (according to my app I’m 66% of the way through the book) and I’d like to see them explored a little more, but it’s been an easy read for me.

I’ll also say that I’d likely be done with the book if I wasn’t deliberately slowing myself for the sake of the reading group. I am at a point now that I might just end up finishing it because I won’t be able to put it down.

that would require reading which, obviously my brain decided wasn’t required in this thread. :(

I misread your original question lol yeah you’re right.

no, because this one is obviously lying, so the other one tells the truth. (or as the riddle is normally solved, you know the answer is false because no matter which you ask, they’ll end up giving you the wrong answer)

normally I like to read only one book at a time but trying to branch out, so I’m reading two. A physical book and an ebook. I still struggle with audiobooks, so I’m avoiding that. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy I just finished like 10 minutes ago and I loved it. A story of love, loss, family and a warming planet. All wrapped up in a mystery set on a remote island where the next ship isn’t expected for several weeks. what’s not to love?

and

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I’m only a few chapters into this book, trying to read it at a group’s pace and I’m pretty sure I’m going to just blow through the whole book soon. Especially now that I’ve finished my other book. but I’ll pick up a new one later today, which may help
